Judul: Bali and Lombok species of begonia (Begoniaceae)
Abstrak: A taxonomic study of the genus Begonia Blume (Begoniaceae) in Bali and Lombok Islands were conducted based on morphological characters. Three previously known species ( Begonia coriaceae Hassk., B. longifolia Blume and B. tenuifolia Dryander ) five new species ( B. baliensis Girmansyah sp. nov., B. lempuyangensis Girmansyah sp. nov., B. lombokensis Girmansyah sp. nov., B .multibractea Girmansyah sp. nov, B. pseudomuricata Girmansyah sp. nov.,) are proposed. A key to species is included. A phylogenetic analysis was undertaken using PAUP vers. 4. Ob4. Programs Swofford (2000) with Hillebrandia sandwicencis as out group. This analysis be resulted a parsimonious cladogram, which shows that the Begonia divided into three subclade and belong to four section (Sphenanthera, Reichenheimia, Petermannia and Parvibegonia).

Judul: Karakteristik Morfologi dan Anatomi Beberapa Spesies dan Kultivar Begonia Serta Analisis Hubungan Kekerabatannya
Abstrak: The distinctive asymmetric leaf, fleshy jointed stem, and showy flower are several common characters belongs to genus Begonia. Indonesia has more than 200 species Begonia which spread in Java, Sumatera, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua islands. Morphological and anatomical characters can be used to identify, classify, and determine plants relationship. The aims of this research were to identify morphological and anatomical characters of 11 species and cultivars of Begonia and to determine their relationship. Nine species and cultivars were successfully identified, while two species could not be identified. Seven species were identified as B. acetosa, B. bowerae. B. listada, B. thelmae, B. semperflorens, B. maculata, and B. lepida, while two cultivars could be identified as B. Argenteo-Gutata “Fanfare” and B. “Orpha C. Fox”. Study on morphological characters of 11 species and cultivars obtained six similar characters including simple leaf, alternate leaf arrangement, asymmetric leaf blade base, axillary’s inflorescence, and unisexual flower. Based on paradermal section, there were individual stomata, stomatal cluster, and both individual and stomatal cluster in leaves of Begonia. Begonia listada had the smallest stomatal size (35.0 x 22.9 μm) while B. maculata had the biggest (46.7 x 30.4 μm). Begonia “Orpha C. Fox” had the lowest stomatal density (23.2/mm2), while Begonia sp. 1 had the highest (108.7/mm2). Observation on transversal section showed that B. lepida had the smallest leaf thickness (162.5 μm) while B. listada had the highest (433.3 μm). The results of hierarchical cluster analysis based on morphological, anatomical, or both characters showed different patterns of relationship.

Judul: Pelapisan hidroksiapatit (HAp) pada permukaan logam Stainless Steel 316L dengan metode deposisi elektroforesis (EPD)
Abstrak: Telah dilakukan penelitian untuk melapisi permukaan logam stainless steel 316 L. oleh material hidroksiapatit dengan metode deposisi elektroforesis. Hidrokiapatit dibuat dengan metode presipitasi, dari hasil kalsinasi cangkang telur pada suhu 1000°C selama 5 jam dan (NH4)2HPO4- Pemilihan logam stainless steel (SS) didasarkan pada sifat ketahanan korosi yang baik, kadar impuritas rendah, dan mudah dibentuk. Penelitian dilakukan dengan melarutkan hidroksiapatit pada etanol ditambah trietanolamin sebagai dispersan. Konsentrasi Ca/ P yang digunakan pada saat presipitasi yaitu 0,3/0,16. Spektra infra merah menunjukkan hilangnya karbonat pada sampel hasil presipitasi yang dipanaskan pada suhu 900°C. Pola difraksi sinar X untuk hasil presipitasi yang dipanaskan pada suhu 900°C, menunjukkan fasa yang terbentuk adalah hidroksiapatit. Pola difraksi setelah coating menunujukkan adanya fasa hidroksiapatit dan base metal yaitu logam SS. Hasil uji mikrostruktur menunjukkan, diantara penggunaan variabel tegangan 30 V; 60 V dan 90 V selama 1, 2, dan 3 menit pada saat coating, penggunaan variabel tegangan 60 V selama 2 menit, menunjukkan hasil pelapisan yang paling merata pada permukaan logam SS. Sintering dengan suhu 800°C lebih menguatkan pelapisan hidroksiapatit pada permukaan logam dibandingkan dengan sintering pada suhu 250°C.
