Judul: Peluang Hidup Telur dan Berudu Katak Pohon Jawa Rhacophorus margaritifer Schlegel 1837 di Taman Nasional Gunung Gede-Pangrango Provinsi Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Javan tree frog (Rhacophorus margaritifer) is an endemic species found in Java Island. The presence of javan tree frog habitat is threatened by the destruction of its habitats because of human activities such as forest encroachment and illegal felling of trees. This frog species is threatened not only during adults but also during tadpole phase. High chances of survival from tadpoles into frogs will sustain the existence of this species in its habitats. The purpose of this study was to see the percentage of eggs survived in natural habitats and the survivalof R. margaritifer tadpoles in translocation habitat to reach metamorphosis. Additional purpose is also to analyze the microhabiotat of of R. margaritifer eggs and tadpoles in Mount Gede-Pangrango National Park (MGPNP). Eggs and tadpoles data in natural habitats was collected from Cibeureum area. Translocation of tadpoles were carried out in Ciwalen and Cibodas in the Mount Gede- Pangrango National Park. Data collected includes number of successful and failed eggs hatched into tadpoles, the percentage of tadpole that survive in each stage of metamorphosis , habitat characteristics (water temperature, water quality, air temperature, substrate), and the total area of habitat and density of tadpoles in its natural habitat. The percentage of R. margaritifer eggs becoming tadpoles was high in their natural habitat, however in two occasions the survival was nil since all eggs decayed and failed to become tadpoles due to extreme temperature conditions. Based on observation, the survival probability of R. margaritifer tadpoles in age class I (st 25) to age class II (st 26-30) was only by 0.4 and continued to decline in subsequent age classes in following orders 0.26 (stage 31-40), 0.2 (stage 41-45) and 0.18 (stage 46). This indicated that tadpoles in its early growth phase are susceptible to death. Eggs clutch of R. margaritifer in their natural habitat at the MGPNP was found on water plants such as kecubung (Brugmansia suaveolens) and babakoan (Eupatorium sordidum) which situated above the flowing river. Tadpoles usually found in temporary pool or on the banks of the river basin with main substrate of mud. The average of diameter of the pools was approximately 150 cm, with average depth of less than 20 cm. The highest density of tadpoles found in its natural habitat is in Curug III (120 ind/m3 ) and the lowest is in the Curug I pool (3 ind/m3).

Judul: Pola Pergerakan Harian Katak Pohon Jawa (Rhacophorus margaritifer) Dengan Menggunakan Metode Radio Tracking di Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango
Abstrak: One of the method to obtain information about animal movement is by using radio tracking. Radio tracking method for research on frog movement never been done in Indonesia although there wereprevious research about pattern of daily movement of amphibian in Indonesia using non-radio tracking method.The objectives of the research are 1) to describe the pattern of daily movement of Javan tree frog Rhacophorus margaritifer using radio tracking method in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park, 2) to assess the impact of radio transmitter installation on mass and behaviour of frog, and 3) to describe spatial use of Javan tree frog Rhacophorus margaritifer in Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park. The research was carried out in Mei – September 2011 along the track of Panyangcangan post to Curug Tiga Cibereum (± 0,6 Km), Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park that lies in 1500 – 1650 m above sea level. Data on movement of each frog were collected for every 12 hours for 8 days (192 hours). Number of R.margaritifer observed was 11 frogs, consisted of 8 males and 3 females. Each frogs was installed with a transmitter weighed approximately 10% from total mass of male frog and 5% from mass of female frog. Frogs were observed for each activities in each location and analysis descriptively. Quantitative analysis of individual movement of R. margaritifer are measured by calculated of the length of movement and straightness index value. All R. margaritifer observed, moved horizontally and vertically. The farthest vertical movement from the ground is 7,93 m and the farthest horizontal movement is 15,71 m. The highest score of both vertical and horizontal movements is obtained by females. The result of chi quadrat analysis for straightness index showed that male and female individuals tend to move away from observation starting point . There is no significant difference of horizontal movement from water body between male and female frog, even though male frogs tend to move away from water body much farther than female frogs. The highest vertical movement from water body is 9,3 m and horizontal movement is 13,92 m. The farthest horizontal position is 13,92 m and vertical position is 9,30 m from water body. There is no significant difference between male and female frogs in position from water body. Most male frog has a higer lenght of horizontal movement compared to female. Male and female frogs tend move jhorizontally in random. Frogs move along river body dominated by tepus (Etlingera solaris) plant. The average movement of female frog is 25,34 m and 34,35 m for male frog. The longest distance was done by female frog number 1 (49,83 m) and the shortest male frog number 6 (8,35 m). The use of radio transmitter in frog tends to reduce frog weight with average of 9,75% weight loss for each individual of R margaritifer. Weight loss occured in female individual of R. Margartifer 1 and 2, and also male 3,4,5,6,7 and 8. And the other side, weight gain occured in male frog 1 and 2 which gained weight 11% and 4,8%. The highest score in weight loss is 1.5

Judul: Karakterisasi optik lapisan semikonduktor Cu2O yang dibuat dengan metode deposisi kimia
Abstrak: Semikonduktor Cu2O telah dipertimbangkan sebagai material yang digunakan untuk membuat sel surya dengan biaya rendah dan mudah dibuat dengan metoda deposisi kimia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terjadinya perubahan sifat optik pada sampel dengan ketebalan yang berbeda dan pada sampel yang diberi perlakuan pemanasan (annealing). Ketebalan lapisan memberikan pengaruh terhadap beberapa sifat optik material antara lain absorbansi, transmitansi, reflektansi dan indeks bias. Semakin tebal lapisan akan menyebabkan nilai absorbansi, reflektansi dan indeks bias semakin besar, dan nilai transmitansi semakin kecil. Perlakuan panas juga merubah beberapa sifat optik yang dipelajari. Semakin panas suhu annealing yang diterapkan, menyebabkan nilai absorbansi, reflektansi dan indeks bias semakin kecil, sedangkan nilai transmitansi semakin besar. Pendugaan band gap menggunakan kurva (αhυ)2 vs. hυ menunjukkan bahwa sampel semikonduktor Cu2O berada di antara 2,35 – 2,42 eV.
