Judul: Study Invasive Alien Insects and Plants Species in Indonesia.
Abstrak: Agricultural Quarantine Agency (AQA) is developing a duty to prevent the entry and spread of invasive alien species in Indonesia. This study was conducted to analyze the potency of alien species listed in quarantine pests, introduction intentionally through import, and introduction unintentionally through contamination of imports plant products to become invasive and quarantine pest, its revenue through import intentionally, and unintentionally income through contamination of plant products imports. This is done to make an inventory of invasive alien species, to know the character of invasive and existence in Indonesia. This study has focus on the species of insects and plants. Data were obtained from the inventory insects and plants listed as quarantine pests, sampling of imported agricultural and forestry products such as seed or non-seed to detect and identify contaminant species, the results AQA interception in 2010-2011, collection of interception at Agricultural Quarantine of Tanjung Priok Sea Port and Soekarno Hatta Air Port, as well as survey of plants to the nursery in Jabodetabek and Karawang. In addition, the data of imported living plants, seeds and non-seeds in 2010-2011 BARANTAN were also analyzed. All data were compared to the list of invasive species in Global Invasive Species Database (GISD). The dentified that were listed in GISD were classified as invasive species, and then were studied their bioecology, historical invasion, and impact. Species that are not included in the list of GISD performed invasive potential of information retrieval. The results showed that 12 species of insects and 3 species of weeds listed in the quarantine pests could be classified as invasive species. Five species as contaminants of imported products were invasive insect species and 37 were found plants. The invasive insects Agrilus sulcicollis and Megacyllene robiniae not exist in Indonesia and are not listed in the quarantine pests and GISD. Five of invasive plants which are not exist in Indonesia were Cirsium vulgare, Cirsium arvense (quarantine pest A1 category), Centaurea melitensis, Lepidium virginicum, and Melilotus albus. Introduction invasive alien plants were imported and the results of survey there are 18 invasive plants species of GISD. One of 18 plants species is known as quarantine pest A2 category (Asystasia gangetica subsp. micrantha). The invasive alien species that do not exist in Indonesia can be used as target material monitoring and revision is a list quarantine pest. Management of invasive species in the pre-border needs to be improved by making the target invasive species inspection, increased expertise of identification, improvement of the quality standards of imported products, and the acceptance of the application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures as well as.

Judul: Fabrikasi dan Karakteristik Film Tipis Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) dengan Aditif Surfaktan
Abstrak: Bariun Strontium Titanate (BST) adalah bahan ferroelektrik perovskite yang telah dipelajari dengan baik dalam bentuk film tipis. Pembuatan Film Tipis BST pada penelitian ini memanfaatkan surfaktan dari bahan alam yaitu Methyl Ester Sulfonic Acid (MESA) dan Sodium Methyl Esters Sulfonic (SMES). Penambahan surfaktan pada film tipis diharapkan dapat memaksimalkan sifat optik dari film tipis tersebut serta dapat mengendalikan besar kecilnya band gap. Pembuatan film tipis BST menggunakan metode Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD) dengan teknik spin coating. Film tipis BST diberikan 2 perlakuan yaitu penambahan surfaktan dan variasi kecepatan putar pada proses spin coating. Karakterisasi optik bertujuan untuk mengetahui, mempelajari sifat optik dan mengetahui band gap film tipis BST. Karakterisasi struktur film tipis BST bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kekristalan dan informasi mengenai komposisi bahan. Karakterisasi Morfologi bertujuan untuk mengetahui permukaan dari film BST tersebut. Telah berhasil dibuat film tipis BST dengan penambahan sufaktan MESA dan SMES dengan menggunakan metode CSD. Penambahan surfaktan MESA pada 5500 rpm dan 8000 rpm dapat meningkatkan intensitas absorbansi serta menggeser puncak absorbansi ke arah Panjang gelombang tampak yang lebih besar. Penambahan surfaktan SMES pada 5500 rpm dan 8000 rpm dapat meningkatkan intensitas absorbansi, tidak terlihat puncak absorbansi pada rentang gelombang cahaya tampak. Puncak absorbansinya bergeser ke arah Panjang gelombang elektromagnet yang lebih besar (Panjang gelombang inframerah). Penambahan surfaktan MESA pada film tipis dapat memperkecil nilai band gap. Band gap BST murni 5500 rpm adalah 2.4 eV dan 2.45 eV untuk BST murni 8000 rpm. Band gap BST dengan penambahan MESA berada pada 1. 45 eV -1.55 eV. Penambahan surfaktan menyebabkan permukaan film tipis membentuk koagulasi antar bulir (seperti membentuk pulau-pulau). Melalui uji EDAX dapat diketahui bahwa film tipis terdiri dari unsur barium, strontium,titanum dan silikon. Pada karakterisasi struktur Film tipis BST dengan penambahan surfaktan MESA dan SMES memiliki struktur kristal kubus dengan parameter kisi a=b=c berada pada rentang nilai 4.065-4.088 Å. Penambahan kecepatan putar menyebabkan berkurangnya tingkat kristalinitas pada film tipis. Penambahan surfaktan MESA dan SMES pada film tipis menyebabkan bertambahnya ukuran kristal. Penambahan kecepatan putar menyebabkan berkurangnya ukuran kristal. Rata-rata ukuran kristal BST pada spin coating 5500 rpm dan 8000 rpm adalah 14.699 nm dan 11.458 nm.
