Judul: Identifikasi Nilai Konservasi Tinggi Keanekaragaman Hayati di Kampus Institut Pertanian Bogor Darmaga Jawa Barat
Abstrak: The research was conducted in Bogor Agricultural University Campus, located in Darmaga, Bogor, West Java, that has higher value of biodiversity compared to other areas surrounding. The research was aimed to identify areas that have high conservation value of biodiversity in the location studied. The study was carried out from Februari to April 2012. Primary data were collected from direct survey, and the secondary data were obtained from interview and literature study. Among total ± 256,97 hectares of IPB Campus area, the study identified about 65,11 hectares (25,34 %) of the areas having high conservation value, such as Riparian of Cihideung and Ciapus River, Sengon Forest near Rectorat building, Al-Huriyah forest, Cikabayan forest, LSI Lake (Situ Leutik), Forest near Sylva dormitory, Arboretum of Forest Faculty, and Arboretum of Tropical Forest .

Judul: Dinamika Keanekaragaman Jenis dan Karakteristik Habitat Kupu-kupu di Kawasan Kampus IPB Darmaga
Abstrak: The diversity of wildlife including butterfly is one of the factors that becomes a consideration on the declaration of Bogor Agricultural Institute (IPB) as Campus Biodiversity. The development of land use at IPB Darmaga requires a research on the relationship between habitat characteristics with the diversity of butterfly as a comparison with the previous study to provide habitat management data for the management of IPB Darmaga campus. The study was conducted at eight habitat types in IPB Darmaga, which are: 1) Arboretum of Landscape, 2) Al Hurriyah Forest, 3) Sengon Forest, 4) Akasia Forest, 5) DAR Area, Faculty of Forestry, 6) Residential of Lecturers (Perumahan dosen), 7) Cikabayan and 8) Gymnasium Area. The result of this research gets 707 butterfly consisting 55 species of butterfly. Butterflies which were found consists of five families, namely Papilionidae (8 species), Nymphalidae (29 species), Pieridae (8 species), Lycaenidae (4 species) and Hesperidae (6 species). Residential of Lecturers (Perumahan dosen) habitat has the highest species diversity value of 2.93 with an average temperature characteristics of 30.330C, relative humidity average of 75.89%, the value of Leaf Area Index (LAI) of 1.507 and has a diversity of larvae feed plants, butterflies feed plants and shelters. Generally, species diversity index values and the number of butterfly species has decreased compared to previous studies due to changes in land use on IPB Darmaga campus that disturbs the habitat of butterfly.

Judul: Peran Surfaktan Setiltrimetilamonium Bromida dan Natrium Dodesil Sulfat pada Sintesis ZnO dengan Metode Hidrotermal
Abstrak: Zno crystal is the main preference material in various applications recently, such as in semiconductors, ultraviolet lasers, and catalysts. This study aims to synthesize ZnO with addition of surfactant. ZnO crystals were synthesized by reacting ZnSO4, KOH, and surfactants using hydrothermal method. The first step was to determine the best ratio of ZnSO4: KOH (1:2; 1:3; 1:4, and 1:5) based on X-ray diffraction. The second step was to evaluate the role of surfactan cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the synthesis of ZnO crystals. The result of this study showed the best ratio of ZnSO4:KOH was 1:3, based on the least of impurities and the highest degree of crystallinity (85.64%). The addition of surfactant CTAB and SDS in the synthesis of ZnO increased the degree of crystallinity, which were 98.28% and 92.17%, respectively. Based on mathematical calculation using Scherrer equation, the crystal size without surfactant was 32 nm, whereas with CTAB and SDS the crystallited size were 28 nm and 29 nm, respectively. The degree of crystallinity and crystal size indicated that CTAB surfactant produce ZnO crystals with the best characteristics as compared to SDS surfactant or without surfactant.
