Judul: Rancang Bangun dan Uji Coba Robot Jelajah Bawah Air (RJBA V.2015) dengan Lengan Manipulator
Abstrak: ROV adalah sebuah robot bawah laut yang dikendalikan oleh operator ROV untuk pekerjaan di bawah air. ROV terbagi menjadi lima kelas yaitu: Pure Observation, Observation With Payload Option, Work Class Vehicles, Seabed-Working Class, dan Prototype or Development Vehicles. Dalam penelitian ROV telah dikembangkan RJBA V.2015 dengan penambahan manipulator, sensor dan perbaikan sistem olah gerak robot. Tujuan dari penelitian adalah mengembangkan robat jelajah bawah air sehingga dapat melakukan fungsinya dalam hal eksplorasi bawah laut. Tahapan penelitian terdiri dari rancang bangun RJBA V.2015, elektronika, program kendali, dan mekanika. RJBA V.2015 ini memiliki berat ±18 kg dengan dimensi 107 cm x 35 cm x 20 cm. Robot ini memiliki manipulator dengan bukaan maksimal 10 cm, 4 motor penggerak, sensor 10 DOF dan dihubungkan dengan kabel sepanjang 15 meter. Robot ini termasuk kedalam kategori III A Work Class Vehicles. RJBA V.2015 mampu melakukan pergerakan secara horizontal dan vertikal dengan baik. Manipulator RJBA V.2015 dibuat sederhana, mampu bergerak terhadap sumbu X, Y, Z serta mampu mencapit dengan baik…

Judul: Pengembangan Robot Jelajah Bawah Air (RJBA V. 2014) untuk Eksplorasi Bawah Laut
Abstrak: Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) is an underwater robotic vehicle that able to perform the underwater movement controlled from the surface via thetered cable and connected to the control system. The purpose of ROV is to observe and work underwater in accordance with the function of making of the robot itself. The ROV V. 2014 is improvement of the previous ROV developed by the Department of Marine Sciences and Technology, Bogor Agricultural University. The ROV V. 2014 has improved power supply system, thrust system, ballast system, and gripper systems. The making of a ROV is divide into four parts : design, programming, electronics, and mechanical/hardware. This new generation of underwater vehicle has dimensions of 65x35x40 cm, total weight ± 19kg, a system of ballasts with ballast tank 14.879 dm3 volume of space, a wide opening claw gripper with a maximum diameter of 8 cm, and 5 thrusters to move the robot horizontally and vertically, thetered cable of the 28 meter long to the surface and joystick to control the maneuver of the vehicle.

Judul: Penapisan Inhibitor Tirosinase pada Empat Spesies Famili Asteraceae Chrysantemum morifolium R, Gerbera jamesonii A, Dahlia rosea Cav, dan Tagetes erecta.
Abstrak: The research was conducted to screen the potency of tyrosinase inhibitor from 4 species of Asteraceae family. The screening was performed on the leaves and flowers of Chrysantemum morifolium R, Gerbera jamesonii A, Dahlia rosea Cav, and Tagetes erecta. The samples were dried and then extracted with nhexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. The inhibition activity was tested by a microplate reader spectrophotometer in 492 nm. The ethyl acetate extract of D. rosea Cav flower was the most potent tyrosinase inhibitor (IC50 for monophenolase 18.42 μg/mL and for diphenolase 687.79 μg/mL) compared with the other Asteraceae species. The most active essential oils as inhibitor of tyrosinase was obtained from T. erecta flower (IC50 for monophenolase 1882.62 μg/mL and for diphenolase 1884.33 μg/mL). Positive control used was kojic acid with IC50 value of 11.02 μg/mL for monophenolase and 84.19 μg/mL for diphenolase. Fractionation of the extract by preparative thin layer chromatography with chloroform as mobile phase gave 12 fractions. The most active fraction had IC50 of 5.55 μg/mL for monophenolase and 109.96 μg/mL for diphenolase, and was identified as flavonoid.
