Judul: Pengoptimuman dan Validasi Sidik Jari Kromatografi Cair Kinerja Tinggi Ekstrak Phyllanthus niruri L
Abstrak: Phyllanthus niruri L. atau meniran merupakan bahan baku obat herbal yang memiliki khasiat sebagai hepatoprotektor, antihepatitis, antioksidan, serta penghambat replikasi dan transkripsi balik HIV. Sejauh ini kualitas meniran ditentukan berdasarkan kandungan senyawa penanda tunggal dari golongan lignan atau tanin. Hal ini dinilai kurang memadai karena khasiat obat herbal disumbangkan oleh sejumlah senyawa kimia yang bekerja secara sinergis. Penggunaan sidik jari kromatografi cair kinerja tinggi (KCKT) untuk kontrol kualitas obat herbal dapat menjadi pendekatan yang efektif karena dapat menjelaskan karakteristik obat herbal secara komprehensif. Diperlukan sidik jari yang informatif dan representatif untuk membangun model kontrol kualitas yang handal. Sidik jari kromatografi yang informatif dan representatif tersebut dapat diperoleh melalui pengoptimuman pelarut ekstraksi dan fase gerak kromatografi dengan bantuan rancangan statistika.

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: Biology and ecology of the buffalo fly, haematobia exigua de meijere (diptera:muscidae)
Abstrak: The life history of the buffalo fly was observed at room temperature of 27°-29.5°C and at a relative humidity of 48-68 percent. The eggs hatched after 17-22 hours, with an average of 18 hours. First instar larvae measured 1.25 + 0.16 mm long and 0.27 + 0.037 mm wide. reach the second larval stage. It took 6-12 hours to the second instar larvae measured 2.676 +0.187 mm long and 0.353 +0.028 mm wide. The second instar took about 12-24 hours to reach the third larval stage. The third instar measured 6.833 + 0.189 mm long and 0.919 + 0.051 mm wide. It took about 2-3 days for the third instar to become pupae. Duration of the pupal stage was about 5-7 days before the adults emerged. Under laboratory condition, the buffalo fly completed its life cycle in 9.5 to 10.5 days, whereas under field condition it took 9-14 days with an average of 10.5 days. The growth ratio which was based on the measurements of the cephalo-pharyngeal skeleton of each instar was 1.797. The preoviposition period was 8-12 days and mating usually occurred on the 6th or 7th day. The longevity of the male was 29 days, whereas it was 32 days in the female. The range of egg production under laboratory condition was between 20-139 per female fly. The belly and hind legs of the carabao were the most preferred habitat either during cloudy and cool dry or shiny and warm day. When the weather was clear and the carabao was in the shade, the flies tended to be more distributed particularly on the shoulder, dewlap, back and horns. The carabaos had relatively fewer Musca sp. and Stomoxys calcitrans than cattle; never the less carabaos had a higher infestation of buffalo fly than cattle. Oviposition occured either during the day or night but the buffalo flies were more active during the night than in the day time. The effect of various lengths of exposure time of manure in relation to the oviposition was profound. observed, the maximum number of the buffalo flies was occurred when the dung was exposed for 30 minutes. With increasing time of exposure the number and variety of insects also increase. It was evident that Sepsidae and psychodidae were the most dominant insects emerging from the dung. The number of buffalo flies also increased with increasing
