Judul: Identifikasi Potensi Jalur Wisata Birdwatching di Cluster Northridge Sentul City, Bogor
Abstrak: Birdwatching tourism is an environment friendly activity that can be implemented for supporting eco-city concept in Sentul City. The goal of this research is to identify birds species in five observation trails, identify the trails that potential for birdwatching tourism and make recommendation for birwatching tourism trail. Identificationof birdwatching trails had been conducted in Cluster Northridge Residence, from May until July 2013. Collecting data from literature review and field observation. The results showed that the richness of bird was 36 species from 21 family. The fourth trail which was Telaga Indah street had the highest number of birds whereas the first trail which was Bukit Permata 1 had the lowest number of birds. The potential trail for birdwatching tourism was fourth trail because it had highest biodiversity of birds and the unique birds, such as collared kingfisher (Halcyon chloris), javan kingfisher (Halcyon cyanoventris), small minivet (Pericrocotus cinnamomeus) and black-crowned night-heron (Nycticorax nycticorax). Visitors can do the birdwatching tourism with walking and riding on horseback.

Judul: Keanekaragaman Jenis Burung pada Beberapa Cluster Perumahan di Sentul City, Bogor Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Sentul City held the eco-city concept and has a unique landscape with a variety of topography. This area has a variety of vegetation structure and composition which are distributed in several residential clusters. One of the biodiversity that can be found in this area is bird. Variety of habitat types will influence the bird diversity in each area (Blendinger and Ricardo 2001). The objective of this research were (1) to describe the habitat of birds, (2) to examine bird diversity, (3) to compare the bird composition among cluster types, (4) to examine vertical and horizontal distributions of birds in several vegetation and tree architecture, (5) to examine the influence of tree architecture on tree utilization by bird. The research was conducted in Sentul City from June to September 2011, in the area of research are five residential cluster which are selected by the age of cluster and composition of vegetation, and one location is a boulevard. The habitat condition and vegetation (dominant vegetation, tree height, type of tree architecture, vertical and architecture utilized side) are described with qualitative data and collected by direct survey. Bird data is collected by MacKinnon species list method (MacKinnon et al. 1998) with 10 species of birds each list. Bird diversity analyzed by using species area curve, meet frequence and index of similarity. Utilization of vegetation using descriptive analysis. A total of 42 species of bird from 24 families were recorded in this research. There were 6 species cannot find and 25 new species recorded compare by the result of AMDAL Bukit Sentul at 2000. The highest bird diversity found in Northridge cluster with 33 species of bird and the lowest bird diversity found in Venesia-Pasadena-Sakura cluster. Based on MacKinnon species list result, showed the leveled out of curve. It showed there was nothing increment of bird species at research location. Some of birds have a high number of meet frequence in one location, but cannot find in other location. It showed there was a low distribution of bird species. The highest similarity index was found between Bali cluster and Venesia-Pasadena-Sakura cluster (IS=0.76). In general, most of bird can be found at 2/3 of tree crown except in Argenia cluster. Midlde branching part of the tree crown are the most utilize part by bird. There are management method that can impelement, (1) provide and defence birds habitat, (2) planting a favourite vegetation for birds, (3) establish protected area for birds, (4) research on bird diversity in other locations, (5) intensively monitoring on bird diversity, (6) Sosialization in the importance of bird diversity, (7) develope an environmental education programs.

Judul: Synthesis of Fatty Acid Diethanolamide (FADEA) Based on Crude Palm Oil (MIKO) with Microwave Tecqniques
Abstrak: FADEA atau Fatty Acid Diethanolamide merupakan surfaktan nonionik yang umumnya disintesis dengan teknik konduksi panas. Teknik lain yang digunakan untuk menghasilkan FADEA berupa teknik mikrogelombang karena pemanasan lebih merata, bersifat selektif, dan dapat mempercepat waktu reaksi. Dalam penelitian ini, FADEA dihasilkan dari reaksi amidasi antara asam lemak MIKO sawit dan dietanolamina dengan bantuan mikrogelombang. Sintesis FADEA pada MIKO:DEA 1:1; 1:2, dan 1:3 berhasil terbentuk, namun hasil spektrum FT- IR terdapat puncak asam lemak yang belum terkonversi sempurna membentuk amida. Karakterisasi FADEA seperti asam lemak bebas (ALB), amina bebas, pH, dan total amida pada masing-masing perbandingan sudah memenuhi standar coco- DEA komersil. FADEA dari ketiga perbandingan terbaik dihasilkan pada perbandingan 1:1. Hal ini dikarenakan total amida yang dihasilkan lebih besar yaitu diatas 95%. FADEA yang didapatkan juga dapat menurunkan tegangan permukaan saat nilai KMK tercapai, yaitu pada konsentrasi 0,05−0,06% b/v. Uji kinerja FADEA seperti stabilitas busa tertinggi di dapat pada konsentrasi 0,3% b/v dan akan meningkat seiring dengan bertambahnya konsentrasi., FADEA is a nonionic surfactant which is generally synthesized by conventional techniques. Another technique used to produce FADEA is the microwave technique because the heating is more even, selective, and can speed up the reaction time. In this study, FADEA was produced from the amidation reaction between palm MIKO fatty acids and diethanolamine with the help of microwaves. FADEA synthesis on MIKO:DEA 1:1; 1:2, and 1:3 were wholly formed, but the result of FT-IR showed a fatty acid peak that had not been completely converted to form amides. FADEA characterizations such as the amount of ALB, free amine, pH, and total amide in each comparison have complied with commercial coco-DEA standards. FADEA of the three best comparisons is produced at a ratio of 1:1. This is because the total amide produced is greater, which is above 95%. The obtained FADEA can also reduce the surface tension when the CMC value is reached, namely at a concentration of 0.05−0,06% w/v. FADEA performance tests such as the highest foam stability were obtained at a concentration of 0.3% w/v and will increase with increasing concentration.
