Judul: Pengaruh Pohon Penaung Leda (Eucalyptus deglupta Bl.) dan Suren (Toona sureni Merr.) terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Kopi (Coffea arabica L.)
Abstrak: Agroforestry of coffee in Perum Perhutani BKPH Banjaran, KPH Bandung Selatan was established. Coffee were planted under E. deglupta and T. sureni. The difference of species shade tree may give influence on the growth and production of coffee. The purpose of this research was to compare the influence of shade tree E. deglupta and T. Sureni on the growth and production of coffee (C. arabica). The growth parameters of coffee consisting of diameter and height, while the production parameters of coffee consisting of productive branch, bunches of branch, fruit of bunches, and coffee cherries weight. The result of ttest showed that diameter of coffee was not significantly different. Height of coffee was significantly affected by the species of shade tree. The average height coffee under T. Sureni (170.58 cm) greater than the height coffee under E. deglupta (151.56 cm). However, leda provide better coffee production compared to suren. Based on the result of t-test, the number of productive branches and coffee cherries weight have significantly different values. The number of productive branches and coffee cherries weight under leda bigger than coffee under suren. Production of coffee under leda (3 127.17 kg/ha) greater than suren (1 173.74 kg/ha).

Abstrak: Greenhouse gases emissions can be reduced by increasing carbon stock through the development of forests. Agroforestry systems are expected to have considerable potential as a carbon stock in the form of biomass. The aims of this research are to estimate and compare the potential of carbon stock in agroforestry E. deglupta with C. arabica and T. sureni with C. arabica. The estimation of carbon stock in stands and coffee plants using allometric equations while for understorey, litter, and fruit with destructive methods. The results showed the difference between the two patterns agroforestry where AgF1 pattern has a total value of carbon stock is higher than AgF2 pattern. Total carbon stock in AgF1 pattern is 37.49 ton/ha while AgF2 pattern is 14.26 ton/ha. The percentage of canopy closure in AgF1 pattern higher than AgF2 pattern with values are 51.13 % and 30.195 %. The value of Pearson correlation test showed canopy closure had not significant effect of biomass in the understorey .

Judul: Membran Komposit Kitosan-Zeolit untuk Aplikasi Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Abstrak: Direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is a fuel cell that utilize methanol as the fuel source. The electrolyte membrane used in the DMFC system in this research was chitosan-zeolite composite membrane. The composite membrane was synthesized with chitosan-zeolite composition variation of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 2:1. The membranes were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope, and for the specific gravity. Membrane performances were tested with methanol uptake, methanol permeability, conductivity, and potential difference in the DMFC system. The FTIR spectrum showed no formation of new functional groups inducating that the composite membrane was a result of physical mixing. Morphological analysis showed that the membrane was nonporous. Chitosan-zeolite 1:3 composite membrane had the highest specific gravity and methanol uptake, 1.4226 g/mL and 41.44%, respectively. The highest proton conductivity was showed by the 1:2 chitosanzeolite composite membrane, namely 7.2946× 10-7 S/cm. Based on this research results, chitosan-zeolite composite membrane can be applied in DMFC system.
