Judul: Karakteristik anatomi skelet kaki belakang Badak Jawa (Rhinoceros sondaicus)
Abstrak: Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) is one of the rarest mammals which can be found only in Ujung Kulon National Park (UKNP), Banten Province, Indonesia. Behavioural study on this animal could be learned by studying their anatomy structure. The aim of this study was to learn about the characteristics of the javan rhino’s hind limb skeletal anatomy and was compared with the sumatran rhino’s hind limb skeleton. This study used a set of javan rhino’s hind limb skeleton which was brought from UKNP. The observation was done by measuring the skeleton, inspecting the structures and relating it to its behaviour, then capturing pictures of the skeleton. The elements of javan rhino’s skeleton were named based on Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria 2012. Generally, a javan rhino’s hind limb skeleton’s structure was relatively similar to a sumatran rhino. But, there are several differences in the structure that is assumed to be related to the difference in body size between those two species. The differences found were the wideness of ala ossis ilii. Furthermore, the trochanter major and trochanter tertius were more developed. An indentation (deep sulcus) was also found on dorsal side of os talus.

Judul: Karakteristik Anatomi Skelet Tubuh Badak Jawa (Rhinoceros Sondaicus).
Abstrak: Badak jawa (Rhinoceros sondaicus) merupakan spesies mamalia besar di dunia yang paling terancam punah dan hanya dapat ditemukan di Taman Nasional Ujung Kulon (TNUK), Provinsi Banten, Indonesia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mempelajari karakteristik spesifik anatomi skelet tubuh badak jawa. Struktur skelet ini dikaitkan dengan fungsinya untuk menunjang ukuran tubuh yang besar dan perilakunya. Penelitian ini menggunakan satu set preparat skelet tubuh badak jawa. Parameter penelitian yang dilakukan adalah mengamati bentuk bagian skelet yang khas, mengukur panjang dan lebar tulang, serta dibandingkan dengan skelet tubuh badak sumatra dan hewan piara lain. Kemudian, sistem penamaan pada setiap bagian tulang dilakukan berdasarkan Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (ICVGAN 2012). Karakteristik anatomi skelet tubuh badak jawa relatif mirip pada badak sumatera, tetapi memiliki ukuran yang lebih besar. Terdapat beberapa perbedaan yang ditemukan yaitu, ala atlantis lebih panjang, processus spinosus os axis berbentuk segiempat, processus transversus et spinosus tulang leher lebih subur, processus spinosus os vertebrae thoracicae relatif lebih mengarah ke kaudodorsal terutama pada sembilan ossa vertebrae thoracicae di kranial, daerah flank lebih sempit, dan ossa sacrales yang tersusun lebih kompak dan rigid. Secara umum skelet tubuh badak jawa memiliki hubungan yang sangat erat, kokoh, dan kompak, disertai penjuluran-penjuluran dan aspek kasar sebagai tempat melekatnya otot-otot dan ligamenta dengan kuat. Hal ini berperan dalam mempertahankan rigiditas dan menjaga sikap tubuh badak jawa terkait dengan habitat dan perilakunya.

Judul: Membran polistirena dengan penambahan pluronic® untuk  pervaporasi etanol
Abstrak: One of the applications of membrane is pervaporation. Pervaporation is an efficient liquid separation using membrane. One of the compounds that can be purified is ethanol. Polystyrene membrane for ethanol pervaporation has several advantages, including easy for handling and reduced energy demand. Polystyrene membrane was prepared by adding nonionic surfactant (Pluronic®) as pore former. Pluronic® was added at various levels, i.e. 0; 0,5; 1; 1,5; and 2 g with time stirring of 10 and 20 hours for each composition. Characterization membranes was performed by Fourier Transform Infrared and surface morphology of membrane was determined by Scanning Electron Microscope. Pervaporation wathat produced the highest separation factor (αsep) of 38,9082 was obtained upon 20 hours stirring with addition of Pluronic® 1,5 g. The concentration of ethanol increased from 60% to 87%.
