Abstrak: Solvent Impregnated Resin (SIR) has been formed by impregnating Amberlite XAD-16 with dithizone as the extractant and chloroform as the solvent by a wet impregnation technique. SIR has been prepared in three different concentrations, 0,1250; 0,2500; 0,5000 g dithizone/g Amberlite XAD-16. SIR characterization included weight determination of impregnated dithizone in SIR with gravimetric method, determination of total nitrogen by Kjeldahl method, functional group analysis with Fourier Transform Infra Red, and Thermogravimetric Analysis. SIRs were evaluated by pH influence on Pb2+ extraction and Pb2+ extraction with different SIR concentrations. Result from dithizone content determination by gravimetric method showed 3,52, 6,88, and 12,11%, respectively while by Kjeldahl method showed 2,64, 2,74, and 4,84%, respectively. Functional group analysis showed that dithizone was adhered in SIR indicated by C=S vibration at 1213,60 cm-1, 1171,94 cm-1, and 1143,33 cm-1. SIR which had best stability thermal was SIR 0,5000 g/2,5 g Amberlite XAD-16 compared with SIR 0,1250 and 0,2500 g/2,5 g Amberlite XAD-16. SIR 0,5000 g/2,5 g Amberlite XAD-16 showed better Pb2+ extraction performance than SIR 0,1250 and 0,2500 g/2,5 g Amberlite XAD-16. Extraction capacity of SIR 0,5000 g/2,5 g Amberlite XAD-16 to Pb2+ ion as 92,1906 ppm/g.

Abstrak: The extensive use of chromium in metallurgic, leather tanning, electroplating, lumber, electricity generating and other industries have promoted enormous ecological impact in numerous sites that are being contaminated by chromium. Chromium has two dominant species, namely Cr(III) and Cr(VI). Among them, attention concerning the possible hazards arising from the use of Cr(VI) than Cr(III) because hexavalent chromium is around 1000 times more toxic than trivalent one. Therefore, methods for differentiation and quantification of these species are very important in water analysis. Research on chemical modified carbon paste electrode have been carried out starting from 1990 especially in electroanalysis field caused by better improvement than conventional electrode. Continuous research on chemical modified carbon paste electrode has been increasing use of inorganic materials as a modifiers of electrode material. Among inorganic materials, zeolites have been widely used as an ion exchanger due to size, shape, and unique charge selectivity, high capacity ion exchangers, high thermal stability, low cost resistance to extreme conditions. Zeolites have a permanent negative charge on its crystal structure making it suitable as a cation exchanger. This negative charge is also possible to do modifications on the zeolite surface using cationic surfactant of hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA) ions. Cation exchange capacity value of zeolite origin from Cikembar (23.7 meq/100 g), Cikalong (47.6 meq/100 g), Bayah (39.7 meq/100 g), and Lampung (42.4 meq/100 g). After activation with NaOH, all cation exchange capacity values showed increasing were Cikembar (60.4 meq/100 g), Cikalong (60.4 meq/100 g), Bayah (42.5 meq/100 g), and Lampung (107.5 meq/100 g). Therefore, Lampung zeolite was selected to do modification with surfactant and was obtained highest adsorption amount of 200 mM HDTMABr as 3.9923 mmol/g zeolit. Cr(VI) adsorption test using diphenylcarbazide (DPC) method toward Lampung zeolite, 100 mM and 200 mM HDTMABr modified NaOH activated Lampung zeolite showed increasing adsorption capacity (Q). Cr(VI) adsorption capacity (Q) at steady state were obtained toward Lampung zeolite, 100 mM and 200 mM zeolite-NaOH-HDTMABr as 58.0457, 134.0522, 148.5602 mg Cr(VI)/g zeolite, respectively. This showed an increase of Cr(VI) amount bound on the zeolite surface. XRD characterization showed 3 significant peaks were obtained on Lampung zeolite, Lampung zeolite activated NaOH, and HDTMABr modified zeolite-NaOH. This showed no structural change on natural and modified zeolite. The degree of crystallinity decreased with the order of natural zeolite, zeolite-NaOH, and HDTMABr modified zeolite-NaOH showed partial loss of impurities contained in natural zeolite and adsorption of HDTMABr molecules on zeolite surface. Zeolite-NaOH-HDTMABr showed incorporation of absorption peaks originating from bending δH-O-H (1637.65 cm-1), vibration vT-O (T= Si,Al) symmetric (1055.56 cm-1), vT-O asymmetric (793.17 cm-1), δSi-O-Al (608.86 cm-1 and 525.67 cm-1), and δO-T-O (468.41 cm-1) also peak absorption originating from HDTMABr were stretching vC-H methylene asymmetric (2920.05 cm-1) and bending δC-H methylene (2851.01 cm-1, 1489.21 cm-1). Characterization by thermal analysis (TG-DTA) showed percentage of loss mass was quite large aat 15.1% in temperature range of 200-300 oC. This result indicates surfactant double layer formed by hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction of nonpolar groups on the surface of HDTMABr modified Lampung zeolite. The existence of electrostatic interactions between HDTMABr molecules on zeolite surface forming s single layer

Judul: Anatomi otot-otot ekspresi wajah monyet ekor panjang (Macaca fascicularis)
Abstrak: Hewan primata banyak digunakan untuk penelitian biomedis karena memiliki kemiripan anatomi dengan manusia. Evolusi dari otot wajah mamalia yang berhubungan dengan ekspresi wajah dan komunikasi visual terutama pada hewan pimata dalam hal ini otot-otot daerah kelopak mata serta mulut memegang peranan penting (Bennet et al., 1995). Monyet ekor panjang (Macaca fascicularis) adalah slah satu jenis hewan primata di antara 5 hewan primata yang paling banyak digunakan untuk penelitian biomedis (Anonimus, 2000; Anonimus, 2002). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari morfologi otot-otot ekspresi wajah beserta origo dan insersionya untuk melengkapi data dasar anatomi otot pada M. fascicularis. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga ekor preparat monyet ekor panjang yang telah diawetkan dalam larutan formalin 10% dan sebuah tengkorak kepala beserta tulang rahang bawah monyet ekor panjang. Pengamatan yang dilakukan meliputi morfologi otot beserta origo dan insersionya, dan hubungannya dengan variasi ekspresi wajah yang mampu dilakukan monyet ekor panjang, kemudian membandingkannya dengan literatur anatomi manusia, beberapa hewan primata lain, hewan herbivora dan karnivora. Dari hasil pengamatan, pada susunan otot ekspresi wajah monyet ekor panjang ditemukan lima kelompok otot: 1). Kelompok otot kulit kepala yaitu: m. occipitofrontalis (gabungan m. frontalis dan m. occipitalis). 2). Kelompok otot hidung yaitu: m. nasolabialis. 3). Kelompok otot mulut yaitu: m. nasolabialis, m. zygomaticus major, m. zygomaticus minor, m. levator anguli oris, m. depressor anguli oris, m depressor labii inferioris, m. mentalis, m. buccinatorius, m. orbicularis oris dan m. platysma. 4). Kelompok otot telinga yaitu: m auricularis posterior, m. auricularis superior dan m. auricularis anterior. 5). Kelompok otot kelopak mata yaitu: m. orbicularis oculi, m. corrugator supercilii dan mlevator palpebrae superioris. Setiap kelompok otot memiliki berbagai karakteristik baik morfologi maupun origo dan insersio yang berbeda dengan primata. lain, kuda, sapi dan anjing. Hal tersebut menghasilkan variasi fungsi otot yang berbeda sesuai dengan perilaku dan pola hidup.
