Judul: Prediksi Intrusi Air Laut berdasarkan Nilai Daya Hantar Listrik dan Total Dissolved Solid di Kabupaten Tangerang
Abstrak: Intrusion of sea water is the infiltration of sea water into the soil. This might be caused by a groundwater excessive exploration. Tangerang District is one of the areas that have great potential sea water intrusion. The aim of research was to predict the limit of salt water intrusion based on the value of DHL and TDS. The primary data were measured using a TOA EC meter CM-14P and then were processed using Surfer 9.0 software and ArcGIS. The measurement results was compared with PAHIAA Decision (1986) and Carroll’s Classification (1962). The results showed that the intrusion area could be identified by DHL and TDS values. On the area located far from the beach, intrusion was influenced by the presence of a river in the region. This was indicated by the regression analysis that showed a correlation between distance and value DHL/TDS with a negative slope value. Based on DHL and TDS parameters in observation area, the groundwater conditions in Tangerang District within a radius of 0.095 km to 5 km from the littoral areas were categorized as medium intrusion zone (slightly brackish water) with DHL 1500-1999 μmhos/cm and TDS values 1000-3000 mg/L.

Judul: Prediksi Potensi Cadangan Airtanah Menggunakan Persamaan Darcy di Kota Tangerang Selatan, Provinsi Banten
Abstrak: Water is very important for human beings. Sources of freshwater that can be used is only 3% of the total water availability on earth. One of fresh water’s sources that can be used is groundwater. The objective of this study was to determine the capacity of groundwater storages (discharge) in aquifers at South Tangerang city using the Darcy equation. The method of research was include several stages, such as the preparation phase, data collection, data processing, data analysis, and presentation of results. Data were obtained from geoelectric measurements using Schlumberger software, and were used to analyse the type and depth of rock layers. Beside, the data were also used to determined the position of confined and unconfined aquifer. The flownet of confined and unconfined aquifer indicated the scheme of groundwater’s flow and was used to decide the cross section of the flow. Darcy equation required another parameter called hydraulic conductivity. In this research, the aquifer was dominated by sand, so the hydraulic conductivity for sand (12 m/day) was used in calculation. As the result groundwater storages on unconfined aquifer was 3551,50 m3/day, while on confined aquifer was 16864.11 m3/day.

Judul: Anatomi otot-otot ekspresi wajah monyet ekor panjang (Macaca fascicularis)
Abstrak: Hewan primata banyak digunakan untuk penelitian biomedis karena memiliki kemiripan anatomi dengan manusia. Evolusi dari otot wajah mamalia yang berhubungan dengan ekspresi wajah dan komunikasi visual terutama pada hewan pimata dalam hal ini otot-otot daerah kelopak mata serta mulut memegang peranan penting (Bennet et al., 1995). Monyet ekor panjang (Macaca fascicularis) adalah slah satu jenis hewan primata di antara 5 hewan primata yang paling banyak digunakan untuk penelitian biomedis (Anonimus, 2000; Anonimus, 2002). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari morfologi otot-otot ekspresi wajah beserta origo dan insersionya untuk melengkapi data dasar anatomi otot pada M. fascicularis. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga ekor preparat monyet ekor panjang yang telah diawetkan dalam larutan formalin 10% dan sebuah tengkorak kepala beserta tulang rahang bawah monyet ekor panjang. Pengamatan yang dilakukan meliputi morfologi otot beserta origo dan insersionya, dan hubungannya dengan variasi ekspresi wajah yang mampu dilakukan monyet ekor panjang, kemudian membandingkannya dengan literatur anatomi manusia, beberapa hewan primata lain, hewan herbivora dan karnivora. Dari hasil pengamatan, pada susunan otot ekspresi wajah monyet ekor panjang ditemukan lima kelompok otot: 1). Kelompok otot kulit kepala yaitu: m. occipitofrontalis (gabungan m. frontalis dan m. occipitalis). 2). Kelompok otot hidung yaitu: m. nasolabialis. 3). Kelompok otot mulut yaitu: m. nasolabialis, m. zygomaticus major, m. zygomaticus minor, m. levator anguli oris, m. depressor anguli oris, m depressor labii inferioris, m. mentalis, m. buccinatorius, m. orbicularis oris dan m. platysma. 4). Kelompok otot telinga yaitu: m auricularis posterior, m. auricularis superior dan m. auricularis anterior. 5). Kelompok otot kelopak mata yaitu: m. orbicularis oculi, m. corrugator supercilii dan mlevator palpebrae superioris. Setiap kelompok otot memiliki berbagai karakteristik baik morfologi maupun origo dan insersio yang berbeda dengan primata. lain, kuda, sapi dan anjing. Hal tersebut menghasilkan variasi fungsi otot yang berbeda sesuai dengan perilaku dan pola hidup.
