Judul: Studi Aplikasi Membran Filtrasi untuk Daur Ulang Efluen Instalasi Pengolahan Air Limbah (IPAL) Industri Pulp dan Kertas
Abstrak: Kegiatao industri pulp dan kertas menghasilkan limbah cair yang cukup banyak dengan komponen organik dan anorganik yang berbahaya bagi Lingkungan. Sistem pengolahan limbah yang dilakukan saat ini masih konvensional yaitu dengan sistem end of pipe melalui IPAL (Instalasi Peogolaban Air Limbah). Meskipun sistem ini cukup efektif. namun air olahan akhirnya dibuang juga ke sungai yang dapat berdampak pada akumulasi komponen pencemar ke badan sungai/air.

Judul: Rancangan Instalasi Pengolahan Air limbah Industri dengan proses biologis Biological nutrient removal
Abstrak: Kegiatan industri yang menghasilkan limbah cair, berpotensi menimbulkan pencemaran air di lingkungan apabila tidak diolah dengan sesuai. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis dan mengidentifikasi karakteristik limbah cair PT. W, membuat rancangan unit IPAL yang sesuai, serta menganalisis efektivitas penggunaan mikroba pada pengolahan biologis biological nutrient removal. Metode pengujian serta baku mutu yang digunakan adalah SNI pengujian air limbah, Peraturan Menteri Negara Lingkungan Hidup Nomor 03 Tahun 2010, dan Keputusan Gubernur DKI Jakarta No. 582 Tahun 2005. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa nilai Total Suspended Solids (TSS), amonia (NH3), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Sulfida (S), minyak dan lemak serta fecal coliform melampaui baku mutu sehingga perlu diolah lebih lanjut. Rancangan unit IPAL yang digunakan adalah bak ekualisasi, bak penampung, bar screen, grit chamber, sedimentasi primer, biological nutrient removal, clarifier, desinfeksi, sludge thickener, sludge digester, dan sludge drying bed. Biological nutrient removal merupakan unit pengolahan biologis suspended growth yang dipilih karena unit dapat dirancang untuk menurunkan nilai BOD, TSS, dan NH3 menjadi 10 mg/l, 10 mg/l, dan 1 mg/l. Tingkat efektivitas penggunaan mikroorganisme dalam unit ini dapat diketahui dari persen penurunan nilai parameter pencemar., Industrial activities that produces waste water, causes water pollution if it not treated properly. The research objectives were to analyze and identify PT. W wastewater characteristic, to design an appropriate WWTP of PT. W and analyze the effectiveness of microorganism at biological process biological nutrient removal. The method used was based on SNI of wastewater analyzing, Regulation of Minister of the Environment Number 03/2010, and DKI Jakarta‘s Governor Regulation Number 582/2005. Result of the analysis showed TSS, NH3, S, BOD, COD, oil and grease, and fecal coliform exceeded the threshold. The units that used are equalization tank, bar screen, grit chamber, primary sedimentation, biological nutrient removal (BNR), clarifier, disinfection, sludge thickener, sludge digester, and sludge drying bed. Biological nutrient removal is suspended growth biological process were chosen because it could remove BOD, TSS, and NH3 concentration into 10 mg/l, 10 mg/l, and 1 mg/l. The effectivity of microorganism uses can be known by percent removal of indicator concentrations.

Judul: Studies on growth spurt and aging in higher primates
Abstrak: single measurement that best defines the health and nutritional status of children, just as it provides an indirect measurement of the quality of life of an entire population. The pattern of human growth reflects the biocultural evolution of our species. The human pattern of growth and development (ontogeny) appears to differ markedly from patterns of ontogeny in other primate species. Three studies are reported here which deal to the growth and development of human and chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). These three studies allow us to contrast the phenomena of adolescence growth spurt and female elderly bone loss in chimpanzee and human as chimpanzee is the closest species to humans within extant nonhuman primates. In the first, a cross-sectional study of growth of the body size and somatotype of 363 Javanese girls and 299 Javanese boys aged 4 to 20 years from Magelang Regency, Indonesia was described. In the second, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies in the growth of chimpanzee second metacarpal bone linear dimensions from individuals aged 0 to 43.6 years were used for comparison. While in the third, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies in the growth of chimpanzee body size (body mass and anterior trunk length) and second metacarpal bone mineral content were derived. In measuring the second metacarpal dimensions and mineral content, a total of 568 radiographs of chimpanzee's proximodistal left hands were used. They were taken from 68 females and 49 males aged 0 to 43.62 years old. We applied an image analysis system, Scion Image Release Alpha 4.0.3.2 software for Windows to measure bone linear dimensions and bone mineral content. Humans present complex and sinuous growth curves for both body weight and height. A clear growth spurt could be demonstrated by cross-sectional analysis in our girl subjects at around aged 11.5 years and in our boy subjects at around aged 12.5 years. In longitudinal series, not in cross-sectional, several representative chimpanzees of both sexes showed a pre-adult growth spurt on the body sizes, bone dimensions and bone mineral content. They ranged at age 4.5 to 8.5 years. This underscore the fact that adolescent growth spurt in linear dimension was not a universal feature of anthropoid primate ontogeny. Bone loss is a well established characteristic of human female aging. Based on crosssectional analyses the sequential decline of bone mass in female chimpanzee may be said to be genuine. On the other hand, we found in adulthood through elderly, male chimpanzees show a longer plateau than female chimpanzee, that is, bone mineral content is maintained in male.
