Abstrak: Plants is one of the main element in the landscape. Very important for designers, planners or organizer to know the nature and characteristics of the plants, so plants can grow up and be able to grow in accordance with function. However, lack of information obstruct the planners in selecting landscape plants. This study was carried out with field observations in Bogor City and Bandung City combined with literature study to obtain scientific information related the object under study. After field survey the study was followed by analysis of plants in the landscape by using the Semantic Differential method to know the quality of plants in the lansdscape, then tested with chi-square and it is known that both of the city tend to be different. As conclusion, plants in urban area are influence by environmental condition and planting space. It takes fairly wide planting space and the selection of the right plants so that the plants can grow well in urban areas.

Judul: Trend desain penanaman pada lanskap permukiman Bogor Nirwana Residence
Abstrak: Bogor Nirwana Residence (BNR) is a housing estate in Bogor city which has nature concept. Each area in BNR has different planting design trends which are interesting to be studied. The objectives of this study were to identify plants diversity and elements of planting design, to analyze planting design trends and to propose a recommendation of planting design concept for residential landscape of BNR. Method used in this study was survey method with descriptive analysis, which consisted of site inventory, analysis and synthesis stage (arranging recommendation). This study focused on plants dominants, species diversity, functional and aesthetic aspects of the plant arrangements. Results of the study showed that there were 128 species of plants in the whole area of study. The diversity varied from 0,07 to 1,1. Plant types which had highest dominant scores were trees on the main road and groundcovers on cluster gates, public parks and fronthouse gardens. Functional aspects scores on main road classified into poor with score 58,6%, while public park classified into fair with score 63,8%. Aesthetic aspects scores on whole area of study classified into fair, varied from 64,4% to 75,6%. Recommendation of planting design concept was made following ideal criteria of required functional aspects on each area of study.

Judul: Optimasi Pemurnian Protein Kapang Endofit CgKTm 5F  sebagai Inhibitor RNA Helikase Virus Hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C adalah salah satu penyakit yang menyebabkan peradangan hati. Obat atau vaksin yang efektif untuk pengobatan hepatitis C belum diketahui. Penemuan terapi target molekular NS3 helikase memiliki potensi sebagai salah satu cara untuk penghambatan penyakit hepatitis C. Penghambat NS3 helikase yang memiliki nilai kemurnian yang tinggi masih belum didapatkan sehingga diperlukan penelitian untuk mengoptimasi teknik pemurnian kapang endofit CgKTm 5F sebagai penghambat RNA helikase virus hepatitits C. Pemurnian kapang endofit CgKTm 5F dilakukan dengan menggunakan beberapa macam teknik kromatografi, yaitu gel filtrasi, penukaran ion, hidrofobik dan kromatografi lapis tipis. Kromatografi gel filtrasi dengan sephadex G-50 dan eluen etanol 30% memiliki aktivitas inhibisi tertinggi (89,45%) pada fraksi ke-10. Analisis SDSPAGE menunjukkan bahwa kapang endofit CgKTm 5F adalah pita tunggal sebesar 13,97 kDa dan aktivitas spesifik sebesar 3.62x10-5 U/mg serta persen kemurnian sebesar 99,93%. Kemurnian ini 20x lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan penelitian sebelumnya sebesar 5,83 %.
