Judul: Keanekaragaman Jenis Burung pada Beberapa Tipe Habitat di Pulau Ternate
Abstrak: Ternate Island is a small island that has not been studied intensively for it bird community. The objectives of this research were (1) to describe the habitat of birds, (2) to examine bird diversity, and (3) to examine guild composition. The research was conducted at five habitats (mix planting, coastal forest, lake area, residential area, and open spaces (OS)) in January- February 2012. A descriptive analysis was used to describe the habitat profile and guild, whilst bird diversity was analyzed using Shannon-Wienner diversity index and Jaccard index of similarity. A total of 51 bird species from 17 families was recorded. The highest diversity was in the lake area (H’= 2,56) and the lowest diversity was in OS (H’= 0,89). The highest similarity index was between residential area and OS (IS= 0,54). The most dominant guild was insectivores and the most dominant bird was Passer montanus. Recommended management implication are: (1) provide and maintain bird habitat, (2) planting a favourite vegetation for birds, (3) intensive monitoring, and (4) develop an environmental education programs.

Judul: Keanekaragaman jenis Burung pada beberapa tipe Habitat di Hutan Penelitian Dramaga, Bogor, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Dramaga Research Forest, located in the outskirt of Bogor, provides a good habitat for birds. This research was aimed to study bird diversity, identifying habitat characteristics (around the forest path, along house edge, riparian habitat and the interior area) and recorded the activities of the local people around the forest. Point count, MacKinnon list, habitat profiling and interviews were conducted. Shannon-Wiener diversity indices and similarity level were calculated. The highest index of species diversity was in the interior area (2.34), followed by around the forest path (2.21), along house edge (1.97) and riparian habitat (1.86). The highest species richness, however, was in the riparian habitat (27 species), the forest path had 21 species, along house edge had 26 species, while the interior area was a home for 21 bird species. The highest similarity (0.81) was between forest path and interior area. On the activities of the local people, the most often was firewood harvesting. Other activities were hunting for cage birds, harvesting ferns, harvesting wild fruit and harvesting ant larvae. Activity that might disrupt the bird population was hunting.

Judul: Katalis Oksidasi Benzil Alkohol Berbasis Kalsium Ferit dan Kalsium Ferit Didoping Cu.
Abstrak: Oksidasi selektif dari hibridisasi karbon sp3 menjadi senyawa karbonil merupakan salah satu transformasi yang penting dalam kimia, seperti oksidasi benzil alkohol menjadi benzaldehida. Penelitian ini, menggunakan katalis oksidasi benzil alkohol berbasis kalsium ferit (CFO) dan kalsium ferit didoping Cu (CFOCuχ). Katalis disintesis menggunakan metode kopresipitasi dengan prekursor CaCl2•2H2O dan FeCl3•6H2O, serta konsentrasi doping (Cu(NO3)2•3H2O) 10, 30, dan 40% mol terhadap Fe. Sampel dikalsinasi pada suhu 750 oC selama 4 jam. Pencirian material menggunakan spektroskopi difraksi sinar-X pada kalsium ferit (CFO) menghasilkan fase Ca2Fe2O5 dan Fe2O3, sedangkan kalsium ferit didoping Cu 40% (CFO-Cu40%) menghasilkan fase CuFe2O4, Fe3O4, dan CaCO3. Kinerja material dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol dengan H2O2 sebagai oksidator pada suhu 60 dan 75 oC selama 4 jam dianalisis menggunakan kromatografi gas. Katalis terbaik untuk oksidasi ialah CFO-Cu40% dengan persen konversi benzil alkohol 98.47% dan untuk oksidasi benzil alkohol menjadi benzaldehida ialah CFO-Cu10% dengan kadar benzaldehida 6.91%.
