Abstrak: Process of paddy straw can board production for material interior wall construction. This research propose on the processing of paddy straw as board interior wall. Paddy straw dried in an oven at 60 oC for 3 hours, then milled into a powder form with size a 10 mesh. Than characteristic physical experiment, paddy straw board can density 0.341 g/cm3, water absorbtion 68.74%, firmnes press 12.72 kg/cm2 and internal bond 0.035 kg/cm2. Experiment of characteristic acoustic can a good sound absorpsi. Board with thickness 3 cm can a good efficiency than board another

Judul: Pemanfaatan Cangkang Kemiri Sunan dan Serutan Kayu sebagai Bahan Papan Partikel
Abstrak: Woods are usually used as a raw material of furniture and other wood-based products. Since technology grows rapidly, wood-based products can be made not directly from whole real wood. They can be made from other wood-like processed materials such as hardboard, insulation board, particle board, plywood, and fiberboard. In this research, shell of Aluerites Trisperma Blanco, in Indonesian known as Kemiri Sunan, and wood shaving was used as raw materials of particle board. The objective of this research are (1) to study the effects of difference of material composition to mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of particle board, and (2) to look for the best composition of shell of kemiri sunan and wood shaving. From the research it can be concluded that difference of material composition affects only water content, swelling, modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, and internal bonding of particle board. Density, heat spesific, and conductivity are not affected. The best composition was found to be 25% of shell and 75% of wood shaving. At this composition, board density was 0.78 g/cm3, water content 9.23%, swelling 5.93%, modulus of rupture 77.92 kgf/cm2, modulus of elasticity 8.3x102 kgf/cm2, internal bonding 7.98 kgf/cm2, heat spesific 3.64 kJ/kg.K, and conductivity 0.195 W/m.K.

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
