Judul: Kemampuan Jalur Hijau Jalan di Kota Bogor dalam Meredam Kebisingan Lalu Lintas.
Abstrak: Traffic activity can cause some noise, which at certain levels can interfere with human health. One attempt to reduce noise by building green belt road. in urban areas. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of the roadside vegetation in reducing noise. This observation was carried out around the roadside vegetation on Jl. Padjadjaran, Jl. A. Yani, Jl. Juanda and the Bogor Botanical Garden, conducted July 2014 until August 2014. The data which been collected was the noise level around the green belt road, the composition and structure of vegetation and leaf area index. Roadside vegetation in Jl. A. Yani with 2.9788 leaf area index of 2.9788 has a high reduce noise that is equal to 7.31 dB, while the lowest reduction occurred ability on the roadside vegetation Jl. Padjadjaran (Telkom) with leaf area index of 1.322 that is equal to 3.03 dB.

Judul: Evaluasi Efektivitas Tanaman dalam Mereduksi Polusi Berdasarkan Karakter Fisik Pohon pada Jalur Hijau Jalan Pajajaran Bogor
Abstrak: Pajajaran street is one of the main street in Bogor city which has been famous with a high density of vehicle so it has a of high levels of air pollution potential because of the vehicle emissions. This study was conducted to analysis the effectiveness of plants to absorb pollutants in the road side trees based on an assessment of the physical characteristics of the trees to support the surrounding environment and provide recommendations for increase the ecological function of Pajajaran Bogor road side trees in reducing the air pollution. The method of this study used descriptive analysis, spatial analysis, and air quality analysis used the CITYgreen 5.4. The ecological function evaluation of Pajajaran Bogor road side trees in reducing the air pollution shows there are 958 trees which very appropriate to absorb the air pollution, 238 trees which appropriate to absorb the air pollution, 70 trees which less appropriate to absorb the air pollution, and there is no tree which not appropriate to absorb the air pollution. While the function of absorbing particles evaluation shows there is one tree which very appropriate in absorbing the particles, 1136 trees which appropriate in absorbing the particles, 101 trees which less appropriate in absorbing the particles, and 73 trees which not appropriate in absorbing the particles. The result of analysis used CITYgreen 5.4 shows Pajajaran Street Bogor can reduce pollutants in the amount of 2544 lbs (1,298 ton/year) with economic benefits value by $ 6.268 (Rp75.167.175,12). Pajajaran Street Bogor need to add as many as 485 trees in an area that does not have a tree planting so as to optimally reduce the amount of pollution as much as 1.66 ton/year, equivalent to the economic value of Rp 121 095 216.

Judul: Synthesis of Biphasic Calcium Phosphate Made of Eggshells Through A Hydrothermal Method
Abstrak: Biphasic Calcium Phosphate mixed of hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate. A hydrothermal method of synthesizing by mixing CaO as calcium source and (NH4)2HPO4 as phosphate source with distilled water. CaO got from calcination process made of eggshells. All samples were synthesized using hydrothermal reactor then followed by sintering process. The molar ratio of Ca and P for all samples was 0.5 M : 0.3 M. Hydrothermal temperature and sintering temperature were variated they are 250 ºC, 300 ºC for hydrothermal and 800 ºC, 900 ºC, 1000 ºC for sintering, higher treatment temperature, tricalcium phosphate appears. Final results of synthesis were characterized by using X-ray Diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared. X-ray Diffraction patterns was ecompared with database Join Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards and found tricalcium phosphate and hydoxyapatite.
