Judul: Kemampuan Sistem Lumpur Aktif untuk Memperbaiki Kualitas Air Buangan Tambak Udang
Abstrak: Sistern Lumpur aktif merupakan salah satu sistem pengolahan air buangan secara biologis, yang prosesnya bergantung pada aktivitas rnetabolisme mikroorganisme dalam menghasilkan bahan organik terlarut dan tersuspensi. Selanjutnya diubah menjadi bentuk padat yang dapat terendap olehmonokulasi biologis rnik'roorganisme. Bahan organik yang terdapat dalam air buangan tambak udang dapat distabilkan melalui proses pengolahan secara biologis dalam sistem Lumpur Aktif.

Judul: Evaluasi Kinerja Kolam Aerob Menggunakan Lumpur Aktif Pada Proses Penanganan Limbah Domestik Black Water
Abstrak: PT. XYZ memiliki instalasi pengolahan air limbah menggunakan lumpur aktif yang dinilai kurang efisien, sehingga perlu dilakukan upaya untuk meningkatkan efisiensi kolam lumpur aktif. Tujuan proyek ini adalah mengevaluasi penanganan air limbah dan mendapatkan solusi alternatif untuk meningkatkan kinerja agar mencapai efisiensi teknis. Analisa dilakukan terhadap karakteristik pada limbah di kolam lumpur aktif (MLSS, F/M, umur lumpur) serta BOD, pH dan TSS pada outlet kolam lumpur aktif. Berdasarkan perbandingan data kinerja pengolahan limbah domestik yang ada dengan pustaka, diperoleh solusi untuk meningkatkan efisiensi teknis dan menurunkan biaya penanganan lumpur yaitu dengan mengurangi jumlah lumpur aktif

Judul: Studies on growth spurt and aging in higher primates
Abstrak: single measurement that best defines the health and nutritional status of children, just as it provides an indirect measurement of the quality of life of an entire population. The pattern of human growth reflects the biocultural evolution of our species. The human pattern of growth and development (ontogeny) appears to differ markedly from patterns of ontogeny in other primate species. Three studies are reported here which deal to the growth and development of human and chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes). These three studies allow us to contrast the phenomena of adolescence growth spurt and female elderly bone loss in chimpanzee and human as chimpanzee is the closest species to humans within extant nonhuman primates. In the first, a cross-sectional study of growth of the body size and somatotype of 363 Javanese girls and 299 Javanese boys aged 4 to 20 years from Magelang Regency, Indonesia was described. In the second, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies in the growth of chimpanzee second metacarpal bone linear dimensions from individuals aged 0 to 43.6 years were used for comparison. While in the third, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies in the growth of chimpanzee body size (body mass and anterior trunk length) and second metacarpal bone mineral content were derived. In measuring the second metacarpal dimensions and mineral content, a total of 568 radiographs of chimpanzee's proximodistal left hands were used. They were taken from 68 females and 49 males aged 0 to 43.62 years old. We applied an image analysis system, Scion Image Release Alpha 4.0.3.2 software for Windows to measure bone linear dimensions and bone mineral content. Humans present complex and sinuous growth curves for both body weight and height. A clear growth spurt could be demonstrated by cross-sectional analysis in our girl subjects at around aged 11.5 years and in our boy subjects at around aged 12.5 years. In longitudinal series, not in cross-sectional, several representative chimpanzees of both sexes showed a pre-adult growth spurt on the body sizes, bone dimensions and bone mineral content. They ranged at age 4.5 to 8.5 years. This underscore the fact that adolescent growth spurt in linear dimension was not a universal feature of anthropoid primate ontogeny. Bone loss is a well established characteristic of human female aging. Based on crosssectional analyses the sequential decline of bone mass in female chimpanzee may be said to be genuine. On the other hand, we found in adulthood through elderly, male chimpanzees show a longer plateau than female chimpanzee, that is, bone mineral content is maintained in male.
