Judul: Struktur dan Pertumbuhan Karang Rekrutmen Pada Terumbu Buatan Modul Beton di Pulau Harapan, Kepulauan Seribu, DKI Jakarta
Abstrak: Coral reefs are a renewable resource that has the important function of Ecology, socio-economic, and culture. In Indonesia, the damage to the coral reef ecosystem is largely due to human activities. To speed up the recovery of coral reefs, several methods of rehabilisationare used such as transplantation and artificial reefs. The purpose of this study was (1) to know the growth rate of coral attached (recruitment) on concrete artificial reef modules, and (2) to determine the structure of coral communities on artificial reefs over a period of 1 year. In this study measured the growth of coral recruitment covering the length and width, survival rates, and recruitment of coral community structure. Types of coral recruitment was dominated by Pocillopora, Millepora and Acropora with a total of 59 species of 65 species of coral recruitment found. Growth in average length was highest in the range of months from January-May 2011 were 0.76±1.98 cm, and the width of the growth of the highest average in the range of months from May-July 2011 were 1.18±0.92 cm.

Abstrak: Artificial reefs have been submerged in the Karya Island’s reef area which are important for coral recovery. The coral recovery could be identify from coral recruits attached to the surface of artificial reefs. Each coral colony was photographed and identified to the highest taxa based on its coralite. The coral colony’s length and area was measured. Two different substrate materials of artificial reef were observed: nets and PVC. A total of 383 coral colony was recorded attach to the artifial reefs. The highest number of coral recruits was observed on the PVC substrat (347 colonies). Coral recruit on PVC substrate had average length of colonies is 18.5 cm, with montipora as the longest, simmiliar to the nets substrate has highest average of colony its 111,1 ± 124,6 cm2, with Pocillopora as the longest. The PVC substrate was observed as the highest area is 154,5 cm2, with Montipora as the largest area. The study found that suitable substrate for coral recruitment media is PVC with horizontal bottom position.

Judul: Sintesis Flavon dari Fenol dan Benzoil Klorida
Abstrak: Flavone is a class of flavonoid, commonly found in plants with wide bioactivity spectrum. A widely used flavone synthesis route is through acidcatalyzed oxidative cyclization of β-diketone. In this study, unsubstituted flavone had been synthesized via 5-step from phenol, with 22% yield and successfully increased the yield of previous study on Fries rearrangement of phenyl acetate and benzoylation of o-HAP steps. Phenol was acetylated resulting 93% phenyl acetate. AlCl3-catalyzed Fries rearrangement in 1.5 hour and at 120 °C converted phenyl acetate into o-hydroxyacetophenone (o-HAP) with 40% yield. AlCl3 as catalyst produced o-HAP with higher and reproducible yield compared with BF3·Et2O and ZnCl2. Benzoylation of o-HAP followed by Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement of the ester product using KOH in dried pyridine produced β-diketone 1-(2- hydroxyphenyl)-3-phenylpropane-1,3-dione. The yield of ester and β-diketone were 71% and 85%, respectively. Finally, oxidative cyclization of β-diketone with sulphuric acid as catalyst produced 99% of flavone. The flavone product had been characterized spectroscopically and its melting point as well.
