Judul: Analisis Perubahan Analytic Center dalam Masalah Optimasi Linear dengan Metode Interior Primal-Dual Langkah Full-Newton
Abstrak: Primal-dual interior-point method with full-Newton steps is a method for solving optimization problems. The initial point of the interior-point method converges to the so called analytic center. In this paper we discuss and explain the primal-dual interior-point method using the full-Newton step interior method and analyze changes of the analytic center of linear optimization problems with redundant constraints. The addition of infinite redundant constraints cause that the analytic center converges to another optimal solution.

Judul: Analisis Kompleksitas Masalah Optimasi Linear Menggunakan Metode Interior Primal-Dual dengan Langkah Full-Newton.
Abstrak: Primal-dual interior method with full-Newton step is a method for solving linear optimization problems. This method is designed in such a way that an optimal solution is obtained an interior of the domain. It has polynomial complexity. This paper discusses and analyzes the complexity of linear optimization problems using primal-dual interior method with full-Newton steps. From the case studies that have been conducted, can be concluded that the number of iterations is in accordance with the complexity of the algorithm.

Judul: Study of Tupaia javanica Hepatocytes Culture as In Vitro Replication Media of Nonhuman Primate HBV
Abstrak: Virus hepatitis B (VHB) adalah virus DNA yang menginfeksi organ hati sebagai target utama. Infeksi ini menyebabkan hepatitis yang dapat bersifat kronis dan berlanjut menjadi sirosis, kanker hati bahkan kematian. Pengembangan model in vivo dan in vitro berkaitan dengan hepatitis B menjadi perhatian khusus bagi para peneliti. Kultur hepatosit banyak digunakan untuk mempelajari berbagai ha] terkait hepatitis B baik dari aspek virus, penyakit, pencegahan, dan pengobatan. Pengembangan hepatosit asal hewan kecil sepe1ii Tupaia sp. untuk model in vitro merupakan salah satu altematif dalam penyediaan kultur hepatosit. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengembangkan kultur primer dan lestari hepatosit T. javanica yang mampu mendukung replikasi VHB orangutan (OuHBV) dan VHB owa jawa (GiHBV), dan dapat menjawab kebutuhan akan model in vitro kultur hepatosit. Isolasi hepatosit T. javanica dilakukan dengan prosedur sebagai berikut: organ hati yang telah dicacah dalam cawan petri dengan larutan perfusi, diinkubasi pada 37 °C. Suspensi disentrifugasi 300-500 g sehingga didapatkan pelet sel hati. Pelet yang sudah dicuci kemudian diresuspensi dengan Hepatocyte Basal Media untuk menumbuhkan hepatosit dan selanjutnya hepatosit akan ditransformasi menggunakan perangkat Lenti-SV 40. Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) yang diindikasikan sebagai reseptor hepatosit untuk melekatnya VHB, nampak pada hepatosit baik pada kultur primer maupun kultur yang ditransformasi. Reseptor hepatosit spesifik ini terlihat sebagai pendaran hijau dengan uji imunofluoresensi. Kultur hepatosit primer T. javanica berhasil dikembangkan selama 14 hari untuk mencapai kepadatan 80%, dan inokulasi GiHBV dan OuHBV ke dalam kultur pada hari ke-15 menunjukkan adanya replikasi virus hingga hari ke-8 (berdasarkan hasil PCR). Kuantifikasi virus dengan real-time PCR memperlihatkan replikasi tertinggi pada hari kedua setelah inokulasi. Penjajaran sebagian protein permukaan setelah virus dinokulasikan memperlihatkan kesamaan asam amino dengan virus wild type sebesar 99.29% dan 95.71 % pada GiHBV dan OuHBV., Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus which infects liver as primary target organ. This i11fection causes hepatitis which could become chronic and progress to cirrhosis, liver cancer and even death. Development of in vitro and in vivo model related to hepatitis B is a concern for researchers. Hepatocyte cultures widely used to study a variety of aspects of hepatitis B such as the virus, disease, prevention and treatment. Development qf hepatocyte from small animal e.g. Tupaia sp. for the in vitro model is an alternative of hepatocyte cultures. The purpose of the study is to develop primary and immortal T. javanica hepatocytes cultures capable to replicate orangutan HBV (OuHBV) and javan gibbon HBV (GiHBV), and to answer the need for in vitro model ofhepatocytes. Isolation of hepatocytes from T. javanica was done as followed: mincedliver were transported into petri dish containing perfusion buffer solution to be incubated at 37 °C. The suspension was centrifuged at 300-500 g to obtain liver cell pellets. The washed-pellet was resuspended in Hepatocyte Basal Media to let specific hepatocytes grow and later be transformed by Lenti-SV40 kit. Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) has been ident(fied as hepatocyte receptor for HBV attachment, and was seen on hepatocytes from both primary and transformed cultures. This hepatocytes specific receptor was shown as green luminenscent by immunofluorescence assay. Primary T. javanica hepatocytes cultures was successfully maintained for
