Judul: Studi morfologiperbandingan induksi persembuhan kerusakan tulang oleh bahan implan tulang hidrosiapatit dan beta-trikalsiumfosfat
Abstrak: This study was conducted with aim to investigate the effectiveness implant material of Hidroxyapatite (HA):Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) bone implant made from eggshell with ratio of HA:β-TCP 70:30 and 60:40 in inducing bone remodelling process at macroscopic and microscopic levels. Five milimeters thick implant was inserted aseptically in sheep tibia bone using surgical prosedures. Data were collected at days 30, 60 and 90 after implanted. There were no significant difference between HA:β-TCP with ratio 70:30 and 60:40 in bone remodelling process at macroscopic and microscopic observation. Remodelling process in control group was faster than HA:β-TCP implanted bone. There was no sign of rejection against HA:β-TCP implant. HA:β-TCP showed osteoinductive and osteoconductive characteristics although remodelling process was slower than the controls.

Judul: Kajian Morfologi Proses Persembuhan Kerusakan Segmental Pada Tulang Domba Yang Diimplan Dengan Komposit Hidroksiapatit-Trikalsium Fosfat (HA-TKF)
Abstrak: This study was aimed to evaluate in vivo osteogenesis potency of bones implanted with graft of hydroxyapatite-tricalcium phosphate (HA-TCP) composite. This study also observed the potential use of HA-TCP as bone substitution material. Three local sheeps were used in this study. The implant was inserted under aseptic surgery on the proximal medial of the left tibia bone and as control the proximal medial of the right tibia bone was drilled without implant. Bones were harvested after 30, 60, and 90 days post-surgery and observed macroscopic and microscopically. The parameters of observation were the condition, shape and degradation degree of the implant, bonding between implant and host bone, new bone growth into the implant and signs of inflammation reaction around the implant. The result showed that the healing process on control bone was faster than those of the implanted bone. The bone implant had been already degradated in treated group of day 30 post-surgery. HA-TCP bone implant shown some signs for its biocompatibility, biodegradability, bioresorbability and osteoconductivity properties. Therefore, it is suggested that HA-TCP implant might be used as bone substitution in the bone lesions with approximately 30 days of recovery.

Judul: Closed Knight’s Tour pada Papan Catur Berbentuk Persegi Panjang dengan Ukuran Maksimal 8 × 8
Abstrak: Closed Knight’s Tour merupakan langkah kuda yang mengunjungi setiap kotak pada papan catur tepat satu kali dengan langkah kuda berawal dan berakhir pada kotak yang sama. Graf yang terbentuk dari closed knight’s tour dinotasikan sebagai graf G(m,n), dengan m adalah banyaknya baris dan n adalah banyaknya kolom. Graf tersebut memuat Hamiltonian cycle. Sebuah graf terhubung G adalah graf bipartite jika dan hanya jika graf tersebut tidak memiliki cycle dengan panjang ganjil. Papan catur yang memenuhi syarat cukup untuk memiliki closed knight’s tour adalah papan catur berukuran 5 × 6, 5 × 8, 6 × 6, 6 × 7, 6 × 8, 7 × 8, dan 8 × 8.
