Judul: Pemetaan kesesuaian habitat Rafflesia rochussenii (Teijsm. et Binn.) di resort tapos Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango
Abstrak: Taman Nasional Gunung Gede Pangrango (TNGGP) mempunyai keanekaragaman tumbuhan yang tinggi, salah satunya adalah Rafflesia rochussenii Teijsm. et Binn. Spesies R. rochussenii termasuk suku Rafflesiaceae yang merupakan tumbuhan holoparasit. Populasi R. rochussenii di TNGGP mengalami penurunan dan keberadaannya semakin terancam apabila tidak dilakukan upaya konservasi. Salah satu kendala upaya konservasi adalah minimnya informasi mengenai distribusi R. rochussenii. Pemetaan kesesuaian habitat dapat menjadi salah satu upaya pemecahan masalah ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan faktor fisik yang berpengaruh, model dan luas kesesuaian habitat R. rochussenii di Resort Tapos TNGGP.

Judul: Habitat Characteristics of Rafflesia rochussenii Teijsm. et Binn. in Cimande Resort, Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park
Abstrak: Rafflesia rochussenii is a rare and protected plant species. This species is found in Cimande Resort, Gunung Gede Pangrango National Park, Bogor, West Java. The purpose of this study is to describe the habitat characteristics of Rafflesia rochussenii in Cimande Resort, both biotic and abiotic components, and to explain its management program. The method used is purposive sampling with circular plots with a radius of 17.8 m. Literature study was done to find supporting data. Results identified 57 Rafflesia individuals were found consisting of alive and dead flowers as well as alive and dead buds. The host was Tetrastigma leucostaphylum. The dominating species at the tree, sapling, seedling and undergrowth level were Schima wallihcii, Castanopsis acuminatissima, Aspnlenium nidus, and Cinchona pubescens, respectively. Six species of animals were identified. Rafflesia habitat is found in the altitude of 840-1,360 masl, a slope of 10% -88%, average temperature of 19°C and relative humidity ranging from 80-90%. Soil pH ranges from 5-6.5, soil color is reddish brown to yellow. Leaf Area Index value ranges from 1.85-2.11. Management done by the National Park is inventory and monitoring.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
