Judul: Dinamika Paras Laut di Perairan Indonesia
Abstrak: Global warming is one of several factors influencing sea level dynamic. This research was conducted to determine sea level dynamic in Indonesian waters using Map of Sea Level Anomaly (MSLA) of satellite altimetry data derived from Archiving, Validation and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic (AVISO) data delayed time from Data Unification and Altimeter Combination System (DUACS). Satellite altimetry data were extracted from eight stations in Indonesian offshore for twenty years from 14 October 1992 until 4 April 2012. The results showeds that in general Indonesian waters experienced a rise in sea level. The increase of sea level from eight stations in Indonesian waters for the period of twenty years had an average of 10.95 cm with the highest of 15.75 cm in Banda Sea. Generally, fluctuations sea level in Indonesian waters were affected by El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) phenomena.

Judul: Dinamika Perairan di Selatan Jawa Timur - Bali pada Musim Timur 1990
Abstrak: Lautan masih tetap merupakan suatu tempat mata pencaharian bagi sebagian besar bangsa di Asia Tenggara. Namun penelitian mengenai laut itu sendiri sampai saat ini rnasih sangat sedikit sekali. Dernikian pula halnya dengan Indonesia, yang mempakan negara kepulauan, memiliki wilayah laut seluas 5.8 juta krn2 (terrnasuk Zona Ekonorni Eksklusif seluas 3.7 juta kmz) memiliki 17.508 buah pulau besar dan kecil dan mempunyai garis pantai sepanjang kurang lebih 81.290 km, pemanfaatan dan pengelolaan sumberdaya lautnya belum dilakukan secara optimal. Salah satu penyebab dari kondisi ini diperkirakan akibat minimnya pengetahuan mengenai sifat-sifat laut itu serta potensi yang terkandung di dalamnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisa mengapa intensitas upwelling yang terjadi di perairan Selatan Jawa Timur Bali pada tahun 1990 lebih besar dibandingkan dengan lokasi lain di perairan selatan Jawa - Bali serta mengkaji apakah ada pengaruh pasokan massa air dari Selat Lombok terhadap intensitas upwelling yang tinggi yang terjadi di perairan selatan Jawa Timur - Bali.

Judul: Buprenorphine and Fischer-344 Rats Post-operative Stress Levels: Impact on Serum Corticosterone Levels.
Abstrak: The use of laboratory animals in experiment often requires surgical operations. Post-operative condition often associated with pain and stress. Preemptive analgesia and post operative treatment with buprenorphine can reduce post operative pain and stress and prevent prolonged pain. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that pre operative treatment of buprenorphine reduces stress and suppresses the pre-operative serum corticosterone levels in Fischer 344 rats. A total of 14 adult male Fischer 344 (F344/Sca) rats permanently catheterized in artery carotis communis were used. During 94 hour post-operatively the blood sample was collected at specific time point using Accusampler®, an automated blood sampling. Corticosterone levels were quantified with ELISA method using sheep polyclonal antibody to corticosterone. Buprenorphine is effective as pre-emptive analgesia in F344 strain. However the dose is higher than what has been reported in Sprague Dawley strain. Buprenorphine 1.0 mg/kg significantly suppressed serum corticosterone levels immediately after rats regain consciousness. Rats in buprenorphine 1.0 mg/kg group were protected from post operative body weight loss and reduced water intake compare to control, nutella, and buprenorphine 0.4 mg/kg group. Quantification of fecal corticosteroid metabolites failed to detect stress in present study.
