Judul: Keanekaragaman, persebaran dan kunci identifikasi lalat buah (Diptera: Tephritidae) di Kabupaten Bogor dan sekitarnya
Abstrak: Fruit flies are the most important pests for many fruits and vegetables which cause quantitative and qualitative losses of production. Bogor and its surrounding area have many fruit fly host plants. The aim of this research was to investigate the diversity and distribution of fruit flies species and their hosts at Bogor and its surrounding area as well as constructing the identification key for found species. Fruit flies were collected at 119 sampling areas in Bogor and some places of Cianjur, Bekasi and Depok. Collection of samples were using 2 methods: host rearing and trapping. Modification of Lynfield trap and 2 attractants such as metil eugenol (ME) and Cue lure (CL) were used in the trapping. There were 18 species of fruit flies collected from traps and 23 host plants. Distribution, diversity and abundance of fruit flies was influenced by the diversity of host plants.

Judul: Frugivorous Flies and Other Insects Associated with Various Fruits in Several Districts of East Java
Abstrak: Buah-buahan adalah komoditas hortikultura yang memiliki nilai ekonomi tinggi di Indonesia. Salah satu hambatan dalam budi daya buah-buahan adalah keberadaan lalat frugivor yang dapat menurunkan kualitas dan kuantitas buah. Penelitian ini bertujuan menginventarisasi lalat frugivor dan serangga lainnya yang berasosiasi dengan berbagai buah-buahan di Jawa Timur. Pengambilan sampel buah di lapangan dilakukan secara purposive, lalu dipelihara di laboratorium hingga muncul imago dan diidentifikasi. Lalat frugivor yang ditemukan meliputi tiga spesies dari famili Tephritidae, yaitu Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock yang menginfestasi jambu biji, jambu air, belimbing, mangga; Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel yang mengisfestasi jambu biji, jambu air, jeruk manis, mangga, apel; Bactrocera albistrigata de Meijere yang menginfestasi jambu air, jambu biji; serta tiga spesies dari famili Drosophilidae yaitu, Drosophila melanogaster Meigen yang merupakan saprofag, muncul dari buah terserang oleh lalat buah atau serangga lainnya; Zaprionus bogoriensis Mainx menginfestasi jambu air, belimbing, jeruk manis; sedangkan Scaptodrosophila lurida Walker ditemukan pada jeruk manis. Parasitoid Aganaspis daci Weld (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) muncul dari jambu biji yang terserang lalat buah. Terdapat serangga polinator yang muncul dari loa yaitu Ceratosolen fusciceps Mayr (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae), serta serangga nonpolinator yaitu Platineura agraensis Joseph (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae), Platyneura mayri Rasplus (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae), dan Apocrypta westwoodi Grandi (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), Fruits are horticultural commodities having a high economic value in Indonesia. One of the obstacles in fruit cultivation is the infestation of frugivorous flies which decreases the quality and quantity of fruits. This research aimed to make an inventory of frugivorous flies and other insects associated with various fruits in East Java. Fruits were collected from the fields, brought to laboratory, and maintained individually in the plastic cup until flies emergence. The frugivorous flies of the family Tephritidae emerged were Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock which infested guava, water apple, starfruit, mango; Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel from guava, water apple, sweet orange, mango, apple; Bactrocera albistrigata de Meijere from water apple, guava; flies of the family Drosophilidae were a saprophagous Drosophila melanogaster Meigen that emerged from various fruits; Zaprionus bogoriensis Mainx emerged from water apple, starfruit, sweet orange; and Scaptodrosophila lurida Walker emerged from sweet orange. Parasitoid Aganaspis daci Weld (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) emerged from fruit flyinfested guavas. Insects associated with fig included a pollinator Ceratosolen fusciceps Mayr (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae), and non-pollinator insects consisted of Platineura agraensis Joseph (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae), Platyneura mayri Rasplus (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae), and Apocrypta westwoodi Grandi (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae)

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
