Judul: Penapisan dan Identifikasi Bakteri yang Berasosiasi dengan Spons Jaspis sp. Penghasil Inhibitor Protease
Abstrak: Spons merupakan sumber produk alami berupa senyawa bioaktif. Sumber senyawa bioaktif tersebut dapat berupa inhibitor enzim, inhibitor pembelahan sel, antivirus, antifungi, antimikroba, anti-imflamantori, antitumor, atau sitotoksik. Asosiasi spons dengan bakteri mampu menghasilkan inhibitor protease yang berfungsi dalam penghambatan protease yang dihasilkan oleh bakteri patogen. Pencarian inhibitor asal mikroba laut diawali dengan proses penapisan bakteri penghasil inhibitor protease menggunakan lapisan ganda kasein. Inhibitor ini sangat berguna dalam bidang farmakologi. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian tentang pencarian senyawa inhibitor khususnya inhibitor protease pada bakteri yang berasosiasi dengan spons Jaspis sp.

Judul: Ekstraksi dan Bioaktivitas Senyawa Antimikrob dari Bakteri yang Berasosiasi dengan Spons Jaspis sp.
Abstrak: Many bacteria associated with sponges produced secondary metabolite or bioactive compounds that has been identified as antimicrobial, anti-cancer, anti-fungi, and anti-bacteria. This study aims to extract antimicrobial compound produced by bacteria associated with sponge Jaspis sp and to test its toxicity toward Artemia salina prawn. Six potential isolates of bacteria isolated from sponge Jaspis sp., coded as SAB E-8, SAB E-33, SAB E-35, SAB E-38, SAB E-40, and SAB S-43, were extracted by using ethyl acetate solvent. Bacterial crude extracts of antimicrobial compounds were tested its activity toward pathogenic and non-pathogenic microbes. The results revealed that the crude extracts of bacteria inhibited the growth of E. coli, B. subtilis, EPEC K1-1, Stapylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, and Candida tropicalis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) from bacterial supernatants range from 12.5% to 100%. Three best isolate i.e. SAB E-35, SAB E-38, and SAB S-43 were fractionated by using thin layer chromatography (TLC). Results of TLC under UV 365 nm and UV 254 nm showed that each extract had active fraction that inhibited P. aeruginsa and EPEC K1-1 through bioautography test. The six bacterial crude extracts were also tested using brine shrimp lethality test (BSLT) with Artemia salina as test organism to find out the toxicity concentration of the extract. Results showed that each extract had different toxicity measured with LC50 provision. SAB E-38 produced the lowest LC50 value which was 81 mg/L.

Judul: 3D model reconstruction using aerial photo to measure object height
Abstrak: 3D reconstruction, especially for height extraction, using digital aerial photos taken from a non-metric camera and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a challenging study. The purposes of the study are to determine the factors affect the accuracy of an object’s height reveal from a 3D model and establish procedures to deliver the optimal result. Two or more overlapping aerial photos can be constructed into the 3D model by applying the principles of collinearity and epipolar geometry using 3D reconstruction algorithm. Due to the instability of non-metric digital camera, the camera must be calibrated before 3D reconstruction is processed, in that way the quality of spatial extraction can be then measured. The study is conducted using 24 megapixels resolution Sony NEX7 digital camera and Hexacopter UAV. UAV was flown to a height of 50 m, 60 m and 70 m and placed at a certain position in order to get some height variations of camera. Camera Calibration Toolbox is utilized to calculate intrinsik parameters of the camera and a specific program is developed using MATLAB in order to build the 3D model and to obtain the object’s height. The result validation is done by comparing the height from 3D model with that one measured using Electronic Total Station. The accuracy of the object’s height up to 1 mm successfully achieved, with the largest height prediction error reaches 15.2 cm at 70 m flying height above ground level and average percentage error 4.07 for 20 objects.
