Judul: Penggunaan Grafit Mesopori Berlapis Polianilin sebagai Elektroda pada Microbial Fuel Cell.
Abstrak: Microbial fuel cell is a device can generate electricity from organic components through the microbial catabolism. However, the low power density generated in the MFC system is to be one of the main obstacles. The aims study was to determine the excess graphite-coated mesoporous polyaniline as an electrode in the MFC system. This research was conducted by the method of chemical treatment in the formation of mesoporous structure of the graphite surface and electrochemical polymerization potensiostatic in graphite coating with polyaniline. This study resulted in the highest power density were 0.0059 mW.m-2 in the untreated graphite, 0.6 mW.m-2 in mesoporous graphite, 1.895 mW.m-2 in polyaniline coating and 3.557 mW.m-2 in graphite-coated mesoporous polyaniline. The results showed that formation of mesoporouse treatment on the surface of graphite and polyaniline coating on the graphite surface can increase the power density of the MFC system

Judul: Peningkatan Elektrisitas Microbial Fuel Cell dengan Penempelan Isolat Bakteri pada Elektroda Dalam Limbah Cair Pemindangan Ikan
Abstrak: Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) dapat membangkitkan listrik dari bahan organik dengan mendegradasi secara anaerob menjadi senyawa-senyawa yang membebaskan proton melalui bantuan bakteri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penempelan isolat bakteri terhadap elektrisitas MFC yang dihasilkan, dan perubahan beban polutan yang dihasilkan limbah cair pemindangan ikan, serta kepadatan mikroba pada plat elektroda. Penempelan bakteri pada anoda dan katoda menggunakan isolat bakteri yang berbeda (anoda dengan Pediococcus acidilactici dan katoda dengan Staphylococcus warneri). Penelitian ini mempunyai empat tahap yaitu, penempelan bakteri pada elektroda, aklimatisasi lumpur aktif, desain MFC, dan penegukuran elektrisitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan empat perlakuan yang berbeda. Perlakuan AKL mendapatkan nilai elektrisitas rata-rata tertinggi dengan nilai tegangan 0.31±0.02 V, nilai arus listrik 3.28±0.66 mA, dan nilai daya 1.15±0.25 mW. Beban polutan pada parameter COD, BOD, dan TAN mengalami penurunan sebesar 57%, 38%, dan 92%.

Judul: Truncated Stop Loss as a Optimal Solution of Reinsurance Agreement in One-Period Model
Abstrak: Reinsurance is one of risk management efforts of an insurance company, which is called the cedent. Similar with insurance, reinsurance constitutes the cedent to pay the premium. We consider one-period reinsurance model and derive a rule which minimizes the ruin probability of the cedent for a fixed reinsurance premium. Therefore, it is needed to construct an optimal reinsurance agreement for the cedent. The premium is calculated according to four different principles, i.e. economic, generalized zero-utility, Esscher, and mean-variance principles. Stop loss is a reinsurance contract which protect the insurance company for losses that exceed a certain amount. The result of this research shows that a truncated stop loss is an optimal agreement in the class of all reinsurance contracts with various premiums calculated using above mentioned principles.
