Abstrak: Immersion of recombinant growth hormone can improve the growth of giant gourami juvenile. This research was conducted to examine the effectiveness of 0,12 mg/L recombinant Ephinepelus lanceolatus growth hormone (rElGH) immersion with and without bovine serum albumin (BSA). This study used a randomized complete design with 3 replicates and the treatment are 0,12 mg/L rElGH and BSA 100 mg/L (P1) compare with 0,12 mg/L rElGH without BSA (P2) and without rElGH without BSA (K) as control. Immersion was done for 1 hour, fish was then reared for 6 weeks and fed with tubifex with ad libitum. The result showed that rElGH treatment without BSA was not significantly affected body weight, biomass, and spesific growth rate (P>0,05) while the immersion of rElGH with BSA could increased 113.12% biomass compared to the rElGH immersion without BSA. Immersion of recombinant growth hormone to improve growth of giant gourami juvenile without BSA is not effective.

Abstrak: This study was aimed to evaluate the response of giant gourami juvenile on oral administration of recombinant giant grouper growth hormone (rElGH). A total of 45 juvenile were fed with rElGH coated by hydropropylmethyl cellulose phthalate (HP55) and mix with commercial diet (35% protein content). Feeding fish with diet containing four different doses of rElGH (0 mg/kg feed, 0.3 mg/kg feed, 3.0 mg/kg feed, and 30.0 mg/kg feed) was performed in twice a week for 2 month. Fish were then maintained for 1 month without rElGH treatment. The results showed that biomass harvest in treatment 3.0 mg/kg (1,376.0±38.3 g) and 30.0 mg/kg (1,362.2±78.5 g) was similar, and the two treatments were 46.76% and 44.28% higher compared to control (977.6±96.7 g), respectively. In addition, rElGH treatment increased appetite, while artificial feed conversion ratio (1.18) was lower (P<0.05) by 23.72% compared to that of control (1.46). Oral administration of rElGH also increased hepatosomatic index (16.12%) and protein content (17%), while lipid content (21%) decreased compared to control. Similar in fish survival at end of experiment, insulin-like growth factor-1 and growth hormone receptor-1 gene expression levels in brain at 24 hours after feeding in rElGH treatment and control were obtained. Thus, orally rElGH administration was effective to be applied to enhance the growth of giant gourami juvenile.

Judul: Transisi Fasa Materi Hadronik ke Materi Kuark pada Inti Bintang Neutron.
Abstrak: Bintang neutron terdiri dari beberapa lapisan yang disusun oleh materi nuklir yang berbeda dengan kerapatan yang semakin tinggi ketika mendekati pusat bintang. Inti luar bintang neutron disusun oleh materi hadronik (nukleon, lepton, dan hyperon), sedangkan inti dalam bintang neutron disusun oleh kuark-kuark bebas (up, down, strange) yang saling berinteraksi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mempelajari bagaimana transisi dari inti luar ke inti dalam bintang neutron dengan menggunakan pendekatan RMF (Relativistic Mean Field) untuk materi hadronik dan CIDDM (Confined Isospin Density Dependent Mass) untuk materi kuark. Tekanan transisi diperoleh ketika potensial kimia barion materi hadronik dan materi kuark bernilai sama. Nilai tekanan transisi dengan parameter SU6-TM1 sekitar 87 MeV/fm3 dan diperoleh massa maksimum bintang neutron yaitu 1.92M dengan jari-jari sekitar 8.62 km. Nilai tekanan transisi dengan parameter SU6-G2 sekitar 53 MeV/fm3 dan massa maksimum bintang neutron yaitu 1.88M dengan jari-jari sekitar 8.16 km. Jenis transisi fasa adalah orde satu ditandai dengan diskontinuitas dalam kerapatan energi (adanya mixed phase). Parameter-parameter pada model nuklir yang digunakan menyebabkan perbedaan kekakuan persamaan keadaan (EOS) dari materi hadronik dan materi kuark sehingga nilai tekanan transisi dari fasa hadronik ke fasa kuark juga berbeda.
