Judul: Efektivitas Penggunaan Zeolit dan Bawang Putih sebagai Penghambat Kerusakan Kimia pada Jagung dan Dedak Padi selama Proses Penyimpanan.
Abstrak: Jagung dan dedak padi merupakan bahan pakan yang sering digunakan dalam industri pakan, terutama industri pakan unggas. Namun suplai dari kedua bahan tersebut masih tergolong fluktuatif dalam segi kuantitas dan kontinuitas terutama disebabkan oleh musim. Untuk mencegah kelangkaan bahan baku pada musim tertentu, industri pakan menyimpan bahan baku dalam jumlah besar agar proses produksi dapat terus berjalan untuk memenuhi permintaan konsumen. Penyimpanan bertujuan untuk menjaga dan mempertahankan mutu dari komoditi yang disimpan dengan cara menghindari, mengurangi atau menghilangkan berbagai faktor yang dapat menurunkan kualitas dan kuantitas.

Judul: Efektivitas Penggunaan Zeolit Dan Bawang Putih Sebagai Zat Penghambat Kerusakan Biologi Pada Jagung Dan Dedak Padi Selama Proses Penyimpanan
Abstrak: The aim of this experiment was to compare the effectiveness of zeolite and garlic as a preventive biological damage caused by insect and mold during the storage of rice bran and corn. The experiment used a complete randomized design, with the factorial model 5 x 4 and 3 replication resepectively. The treatments were P0 (Corn or Rice Bran), P1 (P0 + 1% Zeolite), P2 (P0 + 1% Garlic) and P3 (P0 + 0.15% anti mold commercial). The experiment was conducted for 8 weeks. Variable observed were temperature and humidity, moisture, water activity, total of mold, total and kind of insect. The data were analyzed by Analysis of Variance, and differences among treatments were examined with Duncan (Least Significant Difference). The results showed that the addition of garlic and zeolit at rice bran significantly (P<0.05) decreased total of mold in the sixth week of storage. The commercial anti-mold at rice bran significantly (P<0.05) increased total insect in the eight th week of storage. It is added 1% zeolite and 1% garlic is effective to prevent biological damage caused mold growht at rice bran during storage process and couldn’t effective to corn.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
