Judul: Pemodelan Frekuensi Petir di Bogor Menggunakan Pendekatan Logika Fuzzy
Abstrak: Guinness Book of Records in 1989 as indicated in the Antara News article (2013) showed that Bogor is one of the areas with the highest potential for lightning in the world. However, the recording devices that count frequency lightning are repeatedly damaged. Hence, the records are badly documented. This study was conducted to model the frequency of lightning in Bogor using fuzzy logic approach. The method used is the Mamdani method consists of four stages: fuzzification, implication function application, aggregation of rules, and defuzzification. The formed model took the following inputs: air temperature, air humidity, wind speed, rainfall and evaporation. The output data of this model is the frequency of lightning. The results indicate 81 rules model of lightning frequency. Fuzzy modelling accuracy could be indicated by the mean value of the absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 17.2%.

Judul: Arima Model For Monthly Temperature And Rainfall In Bogor
Abstrak: average condititon among items from many components of climate system. There arc many factors determine the differences of the climate among one place to another place in the world. The climate•s components very often used to define the climate in some place arc the temperature and the minfal!. The damages caused by climate (such as: drought, flood, global wanning) actually can be avoided if we have known climate prediction. such as periodicity. rainfall prediction and temperature prediction. Bogor that is known as "'rain city" is very interesting to investigate like what the pattern of it '5 rainfall and temperature. The temperature in Bogor have periodicity of 12 monthly and the rainfall have periodicity of 36 monUlly (3 yearly). The model for the montilly temperature in Bogar is as [ollOlr: X, = 0,8254X,.! + X,." - 0.8254X'.13 +c, - 0.4186c'.1 - 0.9475c,." + 0.3966c'.13. The model for the lllontIlly rainfall in Bogar is as follow: X, = 0.8455X'~6+0.1525X'.72"'" +0.1318£'.1 -0.8567£,.",+0.1129£'-37. From these both satisfactory models we established. we can explore and analyse lImy strong the PHst temperature correlates to the present temperature. And from these model we can also do forecasting.

Judul: Pemurnian dan karakterisasi protein inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.
