Judul: Keragaan morfologi dan kualitas buah pepaya dari empat populasi pepaya di Wilayah Bogor
Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam rangka mempelajari keragaan morfologi dan kualitas buah pepaya dari empat populasi pepaya di wilayah Bogor. Penelitian dilakukan di lahan petani. Buah yang diamati diambil dengan cara pengambilan contoh berdasarkan metode Purposive Random Sampling. Penelitian ini terdiri dari pengamatan kondisi umum kebun dan kondisi tanaman pepaya yang terdiri dari pengamatan peubah vegetatif, generatif dan kualitas buah. Pengamatan kondisi umum kebun, peubah vegetatif, dan peubah generatif dilakukan di empat kebun pepaya wilayah Bogor, yaitu di desa Cibodas kecamatan Bojong Genteng (Populasi 1), di desa Cibatok kecamatan Cibungbulang (Populasi 2). di desa Cibeuteung kecamatan Parung (Populasi 3), dan di desa Sukaraja kecamatan Sukaraja (Populasi 4) pada bulan Februari 2004. pengamatan kualitas buah dilakukan di laboratorium Pusat Kajian Buah-buahan Tropika pada bulan Maret- April 2004. Analisis data yang dilakukan yaitu Uji Kehomogenan Ragam, Analisis Cluster, dan Uji Korelasi. Berdasarkan peubah morfologi, populasi pepaya di desa Cibatok relatif lebih baik dan seragam jika dibandingkan dengan ketiga populasi lainnya karena memiliki jumlah daun banyak, panjang daun besar, lebar daun besar, panjang tangkai daun besar, dan diameter batang besar. ..

Judul: Uji Keragaan Pepaya IPB 9 di Tiga Lokasi di Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: This research was aimed to study the morphology characters and fruit quality of population of papaya IPB 9 at three locations in Bogor regency. This research was done on October 2009 until March 2010 and the three locations of papaya are the in Tajur Experimental Field as a first location, the second location is Kampung Tali Kolot, Cimande, Caringin district, and the last location is Kampung Lengis, Warung Menteng village, Cijeruk district. The technique of collecting sample is using the Purposive Random Sampling method from population of observation has a commercial field. The sample is from three fields and each field is taken 30 sample trees and each tree is taken 2 hermaphrodite papayas. There are found some similarities and differences of morphology and quality of papaya IPB 9 that’s planted at three locations. The result of research showed that genotype IPB 9 was planted having same characters, except number leaf, petiole diameter, leaf length, leaf wide, length of veins of a leaf , steam circumference, length of fruit stalk , number of fruit. On the physical fruit quality, were significantly different for diameter lower end and middle of fruit, weight of fruit, hardness lower end of skin fruit, middle fruit flesh, tip fruit flesh, thickness of fruit flesh, weight of 100 seeds, weight of fruit flesh. On the chemical fruit quality, were significantly different for acidity titrrable. Whereas on hardness of skin fruit tip, middle of fruit flesh, vitamin C content, and water content on theree location not significantly differents

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
