Judul: Utilization of calcium in aquatic environment for molting proccess and its consequence on giant freshwater prawn growth rate (Macrobrachiumrosenbergii de Man)
Abstrak: The Production of freshwater prawn in several pond cultures are very low due to the low availability of Ca 2+ in water. Calcium has a rate in the deposition of carapace after molting. The objectives of this research is to study the addition of calcium in the media for molting proccess and its consequence on the growth of the giant fresh water prawn.. The experiment used complete randomized desi gn with five treatments of different of Ca(OH) 2 : (0 , 15 , 30 , 45, and 60 mg/L), concentration. Each treatments has three replication . The parameters measured were the concentration calcium of exoskeleton, the period of post molt, molting cycle, daily feed consumption, total feed consumption, growth rate, and feed efficiency. Supplementations of 15-60 mg/L has increased the concentration of the media (25.51-35.22 mg/L) compared to the control (18.53 mg/L). Calcium contents of the exoskeleton were found to be different amongs the levels of Ca(OH) 2 addition (0-60 mg/L) until 20 days postmolt, except on molting. Duration of postmolt of the giant freshwater prawns suppl emented with 0. 15, 30, 45, and 60 mg/L were 17, 15, 12, 13 and 15 days, respectively

Judul: Effect of osmotic load on survival, larval development time, and growth potential of freshwater giant prawn post-larvae
Abstrak: The production of freshwater giant praw n through rearing should be increased continuously considering the ever-incre asing market demand. Acceleration in increasing production has been constrained by limitation of seed quality and quantity. The problem has been in effectiveness of salinity management without taking into consideration larval osmotic load in a ha tchery. Hence, the research aimed at understanding osmotic compartment that pot entially plays an important role in survival, larval development, and the potential growth of post-larva of freshwater giant prawns. The basic principal used as determining base was minimizing osmotic load through adaptation and efficiency of energy utilization. The experimental method was causal comparative conditional; while the experimental design used was a complete randomized design with four salinity treatmen ts and three replications. The research consisted of three experiments, covering effects of osmotic load on: (1) larval development, (2) rate of oxygen consumption, and (3) growth potential of freshwater giant prawn post-larvae. Observation was c onducted on those critic al stadium based on preliminary experiment; comprising those of 6 th , 8 th , 11 th and post-larva using the design of complete random type with four tr eatments of salinity and three replications.

Judul: Penentuan Nilai Eigen dan Vektor Eigen dari Matriks Tridiagonal 2-Toeplitz dengan Pendekatan Polinomial Chebyshev
Abstrak: The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix can be determined by finding its characteristic polynomials. The characteristic polynomials of a tridiagonal 2-Toeplitz matrix is shown to be closely connected to polynomials which satisfy the Chebyshev recurrence relationship. If the order of the matrix is odd, then the eigenvalues are found explicitly in terms of the Chebyshev zeros and the eigenvectors are found in terms of the polynomials satisfying the recurrence relationship. For even ordered matrices, the situation is more complicated. The problem in these cases is that although the Chebyshev recurrence formula is still applied, its initial values are not generating Chebyshev polynomials
