Judul: Optimization TLC Mobile Phase Using Mixture Design for Separating Meniran Extract Component (Phyllanthus niruri).
Abstrak: The right mobile phase selection is one of methods to obtain a good component separation. This is the one of method to support fingerprint analysis that will be used as a quality control tool of herbal me dicines. Meniran is one of herbal medicines that used as a sample in this study. Mobile phase optimization was started with elution by using 13 single solvents with 4 kind of detections, namely ultraviolet (UV) 254 nm, UV 366 nm, vanillin-sulfuric acid, and anisaldehyde. Mixture design with simplex centroid scheme is selected to give some combinations from 3 selected solvents , they are acetone, dichloromethane, and chloroform. According to Minitab 14 software, optimum point when using UV 366 nm detection was obtained using chloroform and dichloromethane ratio of 0.6553:0.3447, whereas the optimum point was obtained of using vanillinsulfuric acid detection with chloroform and dichloromethane ratio of 0.0741:0.9259. Both detections results are considered good in terms of high R2 value , with 91.56% for UV 366 nm detection and 95. 16% for vanillin-sulfuric acid detection.

Judul: Pengoptimuman dan Validasi Sidik Jari Kromatografi Cair Kinerja Tinggi Ekstrak Phyllanthus niruri L.
Abstrak: Split-plot mixture-mixture design has been applied for optimization of Phyllanthus niruri L. chromatographic fingerprint. The design applied for unreplicated and simultaneous optimization of extraction mixture and chromatographic mobile phase mixture. The whole-plot was extraction solvent contained varying proportion of methanol, ethyl acetate and dichloromethane in a simplex-centroid with axial design. The sub-plot was reversed phase chromatographic mobile phase in simplex-centroid design contained varying proportion of methanol, acetonitrile and acetonitrile:water (55:45 v/v). Each extract analyzed with seven mobile phase and monitored at 210, 225 and 254 nm. Ratio whole plot error to subplot error smaller than 0,4 (/ < 0,4). Correlation between extraction solvent, chromatographic mobile phase and number of peak analyzed statistically by Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. The root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) at 210, 225 and 254 nm respectively were 1,86341 and 4,00759; 2,22201 and 5,28394; 1,54367 and 2,26063. Optimum codition obtained when ethyl acetate extract eluted by acetonitrile:water (55:45 v/v) and monitored at 254 nm. Validation of optimum condition performed for precision and extract stability test parameter. Precision of retention time at optimum condition was excellent, percent relative standard deviation (%RSD) were 0,0698 % - 0,3006 %. Extract stability test examined after 2,5 and 5 hours storage at 25 °C with protection from light, peak area of each extract component changed in different level during the storage.

Judul: Karakteristik Anatomi Skelet Kepala Buaya senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii).
Abstrak: Buaya sepit atau senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii) merupakan jenis buaya asli Indonesia yang berhabitat di sungai-sungai Sumatera, Kalimantan, dan juga pedalaman Sulawesi. Salah satu ciri khas buaya senyulong adalah bentuk moncong yang runcing dan sempit, namun hingga saat ini informasi mengenai struktur skelet kepala buaya senyulong sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari karakteristik anatomi skelet kepala buaya senyulong yang dikatikan dengan fungsi dan perilakunya. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksploratif dengan melakukan pengamatan, pencatatan, dan pengambilan gambar dari skelet kepala buaya senyulong. Skelet kepala berukuran panjang 70 cm, lebar 29 cm, dan tingggi 17 cm dengan permukaan kasar pada os nasale, os frontale, os maxilla, os mandibula, os lacrimale, os jugale. Jumlah gigi pada buaya ini sebanyak 78 buah, terdiri dari 4 buah gigi premaxila, 16 buah gigi maxila, dan 19 buah gigi mandibula. Pada regio orbitalis ditemukan dua pasang fenestrae temporales yang berkembang baik. Fenestra supratemporale merupakan lubang oval yang membentang di sepanjang os parietale. Fenestra infratemporale berbentuk segitiga dan dibatasi oleh os squamosum, os postorbitale, os jugulare, dan os quadratum. Os mandibula hewan ini mempunyai symphysis mandibularis yang panjang yaitu garis yang melintang di corpus mandibulae. Secara fungsional ukuran symphysis mandibularis berkaitan dengan adaptasi hewan terhadap diet makan.
