Judul: Studi Korelasi Antara Proses Geomorfik Dan Pedogenesis Di Desa Lamajang, Kecamatan Pangalengan, Kabupaten Bandung
Abstrak: Landform and soil formed by geomorphic and pedogenic processes. Geomorphic processes play a role in change and shape the earth's surface through out a process of physical and chemical weathering, volcanism, and extraterrestrial, while the pedogenic process produce soil body. According to van Wambeke and Forbes (1986), land unit is a container of a soil unit due to the similarity genetic factors (abiotic and biotic) and the genetic processes. Geomorphic processes based on abiotic factors (parent material, climate, relief, and time), while biotic factors (organisms, especially vegetation) only serves as an indicator, for example: gelam is an indicator of landform with acid sulphate soils. The processes of pedogenic based on factors biotic and abiotic itself. Research areas belong to volcanic landscape which dominated by the surface processes, such as: erosion, deposition, sedimentation, and mass movements, thus forming various forms of landform. This research intends to do analysis, interpretation, and correlation between land formation (geomorphic processes) and soil formation (pedogenesis) in volcanic landscapes. The aim is to determine land units (landforms) systematically (Desaunettes, 1977) as containers of soil units (Soil Survey Staff, 2010). This research includes preparation, field work, laboratory analysis, processing data, and preparation of final report. The results of research showed that the diversity of landforms are coinciding with the diversity of soil units (Great Group). There were found that the landform of ridge plains of volcano midlle, with parent material from andesitic rocks, undissected and flat slope (0-3%) (Vat 3.5.0) is occupied by Melanudand (Pedons P1); Landform of volcano midlle, with parent material from andesitic rocks, dissected and steep slope (30-60%) (Vat 3.6.3) is occupied by Hapludand (Pedons P2); and Landform of foot slope volcanic midlle, with parent material from andesitic rocks, slightly dissected and gently slope (2-5%) (Vat 3.5.2) is occupied by Fulvudand (Pedons P3). Correlation between geomorphic and pedogenesis processes which observed through the toposequent direction, supported by laboratory analysis data and secondary data (Puslittanak, 1993) and then extrapolated to the entire Village Lamajang, resulting seven landform mapping units as the component of semidetailed Landform Map of Lamajang Village Scaled at 1 : 50.000.

Abstrak: According to van Wambeke and Forbes (1986) land unit is a placement of land unit because their mostly same genetic factor (biotic and abiotic) and genesis process. Soil is closely related with landscape and landform, so different land unit (system, subsystem, and landform category) is also different in soil unit, probably as a soil of each category (order, suborder, great group, subgroup, family, and a soil series) mentioned the processes ofland and soil genesis. Differences in soils reflect differences in soil properties and characteristics, which determine differences potency and use. Therefore, knowledge on soil properties, characteristics, and soil classification is needed. This research was intended for conducting correlation study between soil, land, and corn growth on the toposequence in volcanic landscape. The objective was producing correlation data between soil families, landform, and the growth of hybrid corn CPI 2 on the toposequence. This research used soil classification method based . on Keys to Soil Taxonomy (Soil Survey Staff, 2006) up to the family category, landform cassification (Desaunettes, 1977), and corn crop performance test with block domized design. Landscape in the study area was divided into three landforms based on position and slope of the land, namely peak (PI), slope (P2) and valley (P3). Based on Soil Taxonomy USDA (2006) and landform classification (Desaunettes, 1977), Pedon PI belong to Typic Kandiudox, very fine, kaolinitic, acid, isohyperthermic, within rolling volcanic plain, andesite parent material, levelland, not incised landform (Va.2.1.0), Pedon P2 belong to Inceptic Hapludox, very fine, kaolinitic, acid, isohyperthermic, within rolling volcanic plain, andesite parent material, rolling, not incised landform (Va.2.2.0), Pedon P3 belong to Typic Kandiudox, very fine, kaolinitic, acid, isohyperthermic, within rolling volcanic plain, andesite parent material, levelland, not incised landform (Va.2.1.0). Based Duncan's test that were not affected by differences in block (degree of slope), because of the same name up to suborder.

Judul: Pemurnian dan karakterisasi protein inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.
