Judul: Struktur, Komposisi, Sebaran dan Potensi Jelutung Rawa (Dyera lowii.) dan Jelutung Darat (Dyera costulata.) di Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi.
Abstrak: The existence of Jelutung is still in question, especially in Jambi, where two species, swamp and land jelutungs are found. The aim of this study was to determine the structure, composition, distribution and potential of both jelutung species (Dyera spp.) in their natural habitat in Jambi. The study was done using the combination of line transects and square plots in 1 ha plot size located in protected peatland forests in Sungai Beras village, secondary forest in Lagan Ulu village and rubber forest plantation in Catur Rahayu village. Total of 2.219 trees, measured, there were 97 species from 68 genera and 38 families were identified in which the most dominant species were rubber, dryland jelutung, pulai, swamp jelutung and lanang tree. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H’) values of trees at anystage of growth were about 0-2.76, which were classified as low to mid level of diversity. Understorey plants had H’ value of about 0.49-2.76, which were classified as low to mid level of diversity. The distribution patterns of both jelutung species were in clustered and evenly. The highest potential of jelutung volume was found in Lagan Ulu with average value of 60.45 m³ha-1, followed by Catur Rahayu forests with average volume of 33.53 m³ha-1 and Sungai Beras with 27.35 m³ha-1. Conservation and future utilization of jelutung need to consider their ecological data.

Judul: Struktur Tegakan dan Sebaran Jenis Jelutung dan Tumih di Hutan Rawa Gambut (Studi Kasus di Kawasan Hutan Lindung Gambut Lahai, Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah)
Abstrak: Jelutung (Dyera costulata) and Tumih (Combretocarpus rotundatus) are recognized as main tree species in peat swamp forest. This Study was aimed to determine stand structure and distribution of jelutung and tumih, and to determine the existence and growth indicator of jelutung and tumih in their natural habitat. The research was conducted in June 2010 at Lahai Peat swamp forest, Central Kalimantan Province. Stem diameter of trees 10 cm up was recorded using vegetation analysis method in sampling plots size of 100 mx 100 m which was devided into sub plot of 25 m x 25 m. the results shows that total number of trees species is 41 species in Permanent Sampling Plot (PSP) 1 and 49 species in PSP 2. However, the abundance of jelutung and tumih species is less than 12% from the tree total number growing in the Lahai peat swamp forest . Both of Jelutung and Tumih grow in the uniform pattern in which the distribution pattern of their stand structure did not follow usual form

Judul: Synthesis and Characterization of Copper(II) Oxide Nanoparticles (CuO-NP) Using Chemical Precipitation Method
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan melakukan optimasi suhu kalsinasi, melihat pengaruh penambahan surfaktan terhadap band gap, ukuran partikel, dan tingkat kristalinitas nanopartikel CuO, serta aktivitas nanopartikel CuO sebagai agen antibakteri. CuO-NP berhasil disintesis menggunakan metode presipitasi kimia dengan variasi suhu kalsinasi 400, 600, dan 800 °C dengan agen pengendap NaOH. Nanopartikel hasil sintesis dikarakterisasi lebih lanjut menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-Vis, XRD, dan SEM-EDX. Nilai band gap CuO-NP meningkat seiring dengan kenaikan suhu. Band gap semakin besar ketika nilai absorbansi semakin kecil. Peningkatan suhu kalsinasi menyebabkan ukuran kristal dari CuO-NP menjadi semakin besar. Tingkat kristanilitas CuO-NP terbaik didapat sebesar 68,31% dengan suhu kalsinasi 600 °C. Penambahan PVP 1% tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan dalam mencegah terjadinya aglomerasi antar partikel dan CuO-NP sehingga dihasilkan ukuran yang lebih besar. Hasil uji antibakteri menunjukkan tidak terdapat zona hambat dari nanopartikel CuO sebagai agen antibakteri.
