Abstrak: Utilization of butterflies are often not balanced with maintaining sustainability in nature. Captive breeding is done as an effort to cultivation the plant and wildlife with maintain the purity of the strain. One species of butterfly that can be used is P.demoleus. Establishment the garden of butterfly for ecoedutourism object in Bogor Agricultural University (BAU), is a manifestation of utilizing the butterflies. Increase the life expectancy of a butterfly and be expected to have produced a big population without nature destructive. Captive breeding system was combined with laboratory treatment to increase the life expectancy of a butterfly until imago phase. The process of spawning be located at the dome and treatments performed in the laboratory with observed the imago copulation, life cycle, life expectancy, metamorphosis of P.demoleus, sex ratio, and abiotic factors. Mostly,life cycle of P.demoleus F1 is 34.11 ± 2.70days (29-40 days) and a F2 life cycle is longer 39.07 ± 3.30 days (33-45 days). Survival curve type I, high mortality rate was occurs in adult stage. At the pupa’s phase in the amount of 33.33 percent is the highest mortality. Many deaths in each phase due to parasites, bacteria, and eclosion failure. P.demoleus butterfly life expectancy increased to 44.60 percent from his life expectancy that is 2 percent in the wild. Research about captive breeding system effectivity and renovation of the dome facilities, is support the realization of a butterfly garden at the BAU.

Abstrak: This study aims to determine and analyze the management of the breeding success rate of butterflies in PT Ikas Amboina and the Bali Butterfly Park. It is expected that this research can be an input for the PT Ikas Amboina and the Bali Butterfly Park itself in order to develop cultivation techniques and theutilization of butterflies better yet ,in addition this research also to expected to serve as guidelines for the management and or development of captive breeding butterfly elsewhere in Indonesia. This research was conducted through five stages namely study literature, measurements, observations, and interviews, as well as qualitative data processing. From the research result shows there are 15 species of butterflies that captived, consisting of two families namely Papilionidae and Nymphalidae. Two species of family Papilionidae including a protected butterfly, Ornithoptera priamus and Troides helena. There are five types of cages used during the captive process of butterflies, among other reproductive cage, cage rearing the eggs, the larval rearing, cocoon cage, and cage of butterflies. Plants used in the process of cultivating a butterfly on the basis of its functions can be divided into three, namely feed the larvae, the main plant (nectar-producing), and supporting plants (ornamental). Management conducted in captivity include the procurement of seed, maintenance of egg, larval rearing, maintenance pupa, maintenance of adult butterfly, health care, provision of additional food, and utilization of butterflies through activities of captive offset creation. Butterfly farming techniques are carried out intensively by PT Ikas Amboina able to increase the odds of living butterflies, which average 53.17% of the total eggs produced.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
