Judul: Studi Pola Penggunaan Ruang Berbagai Kelas Umur Biawak Komodo (Varanus Komodoensis Ouwens) Di Loh Buaya-Pulau Rinca Taman Nasional Komodo, Nusa Tenggara Timur
Abstrak: Komodo represent totally disappeared threatened giant salamander. The existence of this endemic reptile only gone in the round of Komodo National Park (KNP) that is in Komodo Island, Rinca Island, Gili Motang, Nusa Code (Jessop et al., 2007) and minor partly in north and west of Flores Island (Erdmann, 2004). Differ from research about population or inventory Komodo have become routine activity side organizer KNP, still a lot of ecology aspect from Komodo which still have to be checked specially about habitat interaction in KNP area, and also spatial ecology (home range and movement). The aim of this research area to identify activity type of komodo according to vegetation type and to know it’s home range and daily path length. Methodology of this research were used Focal animal sampling method and Continous recording method. the registry of Komodo position with Absolute positioning method by using GPS receiver at the time of Komodo do activity at certain dot. Monitoring done pursuant to variation of age class (whelp, juvenile and adult) with each five multiply repetition. Mangrove and savannah used by whelp and adult especially to exploring areas, while the juvenile especially to perceive. In monsoon forest, most activity often done by whelp and juvenile is exploring areas, while adult more amount perceiving. Whelp, juvenile and adult often use savannah as place to activity than monsoon forest and mangrove. The highest savannah used time percentage that is in whelp class. All class age of Komodo use the more amount time to rest, but if seen from age old class, juvenile which at longest rest. Furthermost path length is whelp with average thread 1659,954 ± 628,732 m, later then adult as far as 1427,227 ± 1121,776 m and juvenile as far as 820,460 ± 391,288 m. Whelp take possession of highest home range sequence broadly 12,104 ± 8,227 ha, later then adult Komodo and juvenile broadly 9,383 ± 9,805 ha and 3,412 ± 2,048 ha. Komodo in Loh Buaya use three vegetation type (savannah, monsoon forest and mangrove) as it’s habitat. There are relation between activity type with vegetation type posed at with the result chi-kuadrat test (χ ²) at real level 0,005 with value χ ²aritmetic > χ ² table = 71,133 > 25,188. Komodo very like savannah and most daily activity type often done is rest. The highest home range and daily path length that is in juvenile.

Judul: Studi perilaku harian biawak komodo (Varanus komodoensis Ouwens, 1912) pada berbagai kelas umur di pulau Rinca, taman nasional komodo
Abstrak: Biawak komodo (Varanus komodoensis Ouwens, 1912) adalah salah satu satwa endemik dan dilindungi di Indonesia yang masih hidup dan tersebar di Pulau Komodo, Pulau Rinca, Pulau Gilimotang, dan Pulau Flores. Di Pulau Padar biawak komodo tidak dijumpai lagi. Satwa langka dan terancam punah ini dilindungi berdasarkan Undang-Undang Perlindungan Satwa Liar tahun 193 1 dan dalam undang-undang ini satwa komodo tercantum dalam daftar satwa yang mutlak dilindungi. Upaya-upaya bagi perlindungan dan pelestarian satwa komodo dan habitatnya telah banyak dilakukan, namun ancaman atau gangguan masih sering te rjadi di dalam kawasan TN Komodo seperti perburuan liar terhadap satwa mangsa dan kerusakan habitat. Dan sampai saat ini belum ada metode inventarisasi yang tepat bagi pendugaan populasi komodo di TN Komodo yang disebabkan kurangnya data dan informasi khususnya mengenai pola dan alokasi waktu aktivitas satwa komodo. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pola penggunaan waktu satwa komodo, meliputi alokasi penggunaan waktu dan sebaran temporal aktivitas harian komodo. Sehinggga hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat digunakan sebagai dasar perencanaan kegiatan pengelolaan populasi komodo, serta dapat menunjang kegiatan kepariwisataan di TN Komodo.

Abstrak: Dengan metode casting dan perlakuan annealing, dapat dibuat lapisan nanokristal semikonduktor TiO, pada substrat Transparant Conductive Oxide (TCO). Penambahan dye Methylviolet Thiocianate (MVSCN) dan lapisan CuSCN pada TiO, tersebut menghasilkan sel surya n-TiO,ldye/p-CuSCN yang dapat menyerap foton dan mengubahnya menjadi energi listrik.
