Judul: Pola Pewarisan Karakter Suara Kicauan Pada Burung Perkutut
Abstrak: Turtledove (Geopelia striata) is a singing birds that has a better melodious voice. The inheritance of this character has not been determined, so that research on the voice inheritance is important. This study was aimed to characterize the voice patterns turtledove. Materials consisted of 12 pairs of parents and their progenies. Twelve of their turtledove was ranked based on their sound quality. The parameters observed included voice patterns, the presence of elements of sound, the type of sound, harmonious sound (frequency and level of sound intensity) and duration of the total sound. Voice analysis was done by using computer software Cool Edit Pro version 2.1. Sound visualization was displayed in waveform shape. Sound intensity level was determined using the formula TI = 10 log I/I0, with the value I0 at 10-12 W/m2. Based on the inheritance analysis sire voices is a better chance in herediting of the voice and the number of beats sound of the middle voice. Dam plays an role in giving voice rhythm modification and sound tip inheritance. Based on the sound analysis, sound quality the voice rank from the highest to the lowest were: ♂AK, ♂ FQ, ♂HHa, ♂ ISS, ♂HRR, ♂ BL, ♂CM, ♂ EQ, ♂GQ, ♂DO, ♂DN, and ♂DP. The frequency value and the highest intensity level displayed by AK turtledove were 929.49 Hz and 91.5 dB, whereas the lowest value displayed by ♂DP were 633.59 Hz, and 67.83 dB. The best rhythm of the turtledove indicated by high frequency with a stable pattern, harmonious the intonation, as well as clear basic voice.

Judul: Karakteristik Suara Song Burung Kenari (Serinus canaria) Postur Besar dan Kecil.
Abstrak: Burung kenari (Serinus canaria) memiliki nyanyian yang sangat bervariasi dengan durasi yang panjang dan merupakan tipe burung bernyanyi open learners. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis karakteristik suara song burung kenari (Serinus canaria). Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan April sampai Juni 2017 di Bogor, Jawa Barat. Perekaman suara song terhadap 12 ekor burung kenari jantan dilakukan dengan menggunakan mikrofon Sennheiser ME66 dan alat perekam Sony PCM-D50. Burung kenari yang digunakan merupakan burung yang pernah mengikuti kontes burung kicau dan memiliki predikat juara kontes burung. Amplitudo, durasi suara, frekuensi, dan volume suara burung dianalisis dengan menggunakan software Raven Pro 1.4. Data tersebut selanjutnya dianalisis deskriptif. Hasil analisis suara menunjukkan bahwa burung kenari memiliki banyak syllable, suara song rapat dan tidak terputus-putus, tempo yang cepat, dan adanya pengulangan suku kata pada setiap suara song. Burung kenari postur kecil memiliki rataan durasi lebih panjang dibandingkan dengan kenari postur besar, tetapi burung kenari besar memiliki rataan max amplitudo, average power, max power, min amplitudo, peak amplitudo, dan peak frekuensi.

Judul: Sintesis Nitril Satu-Wadah dari Asam Lemak Jenuh
Abstrak: Nitrile is an important intermediate for fine-chemicals industries. In particular, fatty nitriles can be used for the production of bio-based surfactants, lubricant oils, and other high-valued chemicals. The aim of this study was to develop an efficient synthesis method for direct conversion of saturated fatty acids into their nitrile analogues. This study was expected to enhance the economical value of crude palm oil and crude palm kernel oil. The synthesis was conducted in one-pot reaction by refluxing fatty acid and excess of acetonitrile in acidic condition. The optimum condition for this reaction was at 115 °C for 24 hours with yields of 50, 50, 70, and 75% for lauric acid (C-12), myristic acid (C-14), palmitic acid (C-16), and stearic acid (C-18), respectively. Purity of the fatty nitriles obtained through this method were confirmed by thin layer chromatography, Fourier transform infrared spectra, nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, and melting-points.
