Judul: Adsorption of Cu(II) using synthetic Zeolite from coal fly ash
Abstrak: Fly ash and synthetic zeolite synthesized from coal fly ash had been used to investigate the adsorption of Cu2+ synthetic solution. Optimation studies of adsorption process was performed batch system in central composite design with three parameters, pH, contact time, and concentration of adsorbent. The optimum condition for adsorption process for fly ash and synthetic zeolite were found at pH 5.5 and 4, contact time 83 and 58 minutes, and adsorbent concentration at 150 and 90 mg/50 mL solution respectively. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were applied. The Langmuir models fits best the equilibrium isotherm data. The optimum fly ash and zeolite synthetic adsorption capacities were 4,11 mg/g and 60,97 mg/g respectively. The kinetics data were tested using a pseudo first-order and a pseudo second-order Lagergren equation. Kinetics data correlated well with the pseudo second-order kinetics model. Thermodinamic study indicated that adsorption process was spontaneous and accompanied by an increase in entropy and decrease in Gibbs energy. The decreasing of adsorption capacity of Cu(II) by both fly ash and synthetics zeolite were influenced by the coexisting ions Pb(II) or Mn(II), although there were increasing of the total adsorption capacity.

Judul: Infeksin virus rota pada anak babi
Abstrak: Virus Rota sudah lama diduga sebagai salah satu penyebab diare pada anak babi yang baru dilahirkan. Hal ini diperkuat dengan berhasilnya Mebus dan kawan-kawan mengidentifikasi virus Rota pada kejadian diare yang ter jadi pada anak sapi yang baru dilahirkan. Infeksi virus Rota merupakan hal yang serius, kejadian yang mewabah pernah dilaporkan di Amerika Serikat, Inggris, Kanada dan Australia. Sedangkan kejadian di Indonesia yang dihubungkan dengan infeksi virus Rota belum dilaporkan. Virus Rota termasuk keluarga Reo viridea. Sesuai dengan namanya, virus Rota menyerupai roda (Rota = Wheel), mengandung asam nukleat (nucleid acid) yang berupa asam nukleat ribo (ribo nucleid acid, RNA) dan berserabut ganda (double stranded), tidak mempunyai selubung (envelop atau peplos). Hewan rentan adalah hewan yang berumur sangat muda. Selain menyerang babi, dapat pula menyerang sapi, domba, rusa, anjing, kucing, tikus, kelinci, unggas dan manusia. ...
