Judul: Pembuatan Biphasic Calcium Phosphate (BCP) dengan metode hidrotermal
Abstrak: Biphasic Calcium Phosphates tersusun dari hidroksiapatit Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 dan Pracalcium phosphate Ca3(PO4)2. HA (Hidroksiapatit) dan TCP (Tricalcium Phosphate) memiliki koin posisi kimia yang sama tetapi memiliki perbedaan dalam kemampuannya untuk mendegradasi dengan jaringan induknya. Kerapatan keramik HA jika digunakan sebagai implan ulang bersifat non-resorbabel dan bio-inert. Sedangkan TCP memiliki afinitas yang tinggi terhadap degradasi biologis serta bersifat bioaktif dan bioresorbabel terhadap jaringan induk.

Judul: Sintesis Biphasic Calcium Phosphate dari Cangkang Telur Ayam
Abstrak: Biphasic Calcium Phosphate (BCP) are structured from hydroxiapatite (HA) Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 and β-Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP) β-Ca3(PO4)2. HA are stable in difficlut phases when implanted, that’s why modification are needed with the addition of β-TCP which are soluble. The eggshells which undergoes calcination process at 1000 C for 5 hours contains CaO. The creation process of HA and β-TCP with precipitation method called wise drop, this process of creating BCP with the sonication technique with time variable from 5 to 30 minutes and composition variables of 50%:50%, 60%:40%, and 70%:30%. The size of the HA crystal are 55.28 nm, β-TCP are 51.82 nm, and the BCP are range from 43.85 nm – 50.25 nm. Based on the result of FTIR, can gained supporting information of that the samples gained are pure HA and pure β-TCP which are known from the structure complexity OH- and PO43- without the waste of CO32-. According to the EDS results on of the BCP_2a sample spot which are gained randomly, it’s known that on the sample of the BCP there is β-TCP with a Ca/P ratio of 1.46 or close to 1.5.

Judul: Reproduction Study of Lemuru(Sardinella lemuru Blk.) Based on Sexual Maturity and Fish Length to Predict Spawning Season at East Coast of Siberut Island
Abstrak: The aim of this research is to evaluate reproductive pattern of Sardine (Sardinella lemuru Blk.) in east coast of Siberut Island. The study was focused on observation of reproductive attributes including sexual maturity, fecundity, body length and body weight by collecting =50 samples monthly for one year. A total sampel of 777 fish were caught using gillnet and measured individually before dissecting to analyze sex and gonadal maturity. Gonadal Somatic Index (GSI) and egg diameter were analyzed according Gaughan et al. (2000) to determine body size at first maturity and spawning season that will be useful as important consideration for management policy of Sardinella in Siberut Island. Based on the relationship between sexual maturity and body size, Sardinella lemuru begin to spawn at 163 mm and 153 mm in length for female and male respectively. Female Lemuru can produce 1.688 – 21.573 egg for each spawning time with average fecundity 7.850 egg. Sexual maturity status that recorded for one year indicated that spawning season take place between September and October. There is no evidence that lemuru spawn more than one time a year and distribution of egg diameter showed that Sardinella lemuru is partial spawner that spawn more than one time during spawning season.
