Judul: Detoxification of Cassava’s Acid Hydrolyzate by Activated Carbon Method for Bioethanol Production
Abstrak: Cassava is one of natural resources for carbohydrate that also available for bioethanol production. Starch and fibers hydrolysis maybe conducted on acid condition. The restriction in acid hydrolysis is 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) and furfural formation, which inhibit yeast fermentation. This study applied two stages of detoxification, which are overliming and activated carbon adsorption methods for lowering HMF and furfural concentrations. In order to obtain tolerable amount in sugar solution, detoxification by activated carbon adsorption was done by concentration of 1%, 2.5%, 5% and 10% and duration of contact are 30 45 and 60 minutes. The results showed that overliming method decreased HMF and furfural concentrations 34.38% and 60.81%, respectively. Overliming followed by 5% activated carbon adsorption for 30 minutes produced the best sugar solution which has a lower HMF and furfural concentrations by 72.03% and 89.11%, respectively. Adsorption constants of HMF and furfural by 5% activated carbon were 0.044 g/min and 3,7 x 10-5 g/min, respectively. The concentration of ethanol produced was 5.00% (b/v) or 63.22% higher than obtained from detoxification by neutralization (NH4OH) which produced ethanol only 3.06%.

Judul: Adaptation of saccharomyces cerevisiae to cassava acid hydrolisates for bioethanol production.
Abstrak: Acid hydrolisates of cassava contain toxic substances i.e. 3,55 g/l HMF and 0,72 g/l furfural to ethanol producing yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This study is aiming at screening four strains of S. cerevisiae for their tolerance capacity to that acid hydrolisates. Out of four strains, S. cerevisiae IPBCC 05.548 showed the highest tolerance on the bases of ethanol production. It produced 4,1% (b/v) ethanol. Prior to adaptation, optimum sugar concentration and starter dosage were determined in sequence. Out of 15%, 18%, 20% and 24% concentration. S. cerevisiae IPBCC 05.548 showed the highest ethanol production (4,10% b/v) at 15% of total sugar. Among starter dosage (1, 2 and 3 times of 0,23% of sugar concentration), that were tested on optimal sugar concentration indicated that the twice of dosage was the best for ethanol production. Adaptation was then performed for 72 hours for each cycle. Of the cycles, the 9th cycle (648 hours) showed the highest specific growth rate (0,14g.h-1) as well as ethnol yield (4,13% b/v). Comparison of the adapted strain to unadapted strain proved that the adapted strain produced 30,78% higher ethanol yield than those of unadapted strain.

Judul: Implementation of Spatio-Temporal Change Query in Relational Database.
Abstrak: Geographic object changes in various views. Object changes are recorded using a model of static storage. No historical connection between old version data and new version data has been built. For that, a storage model of spatio-temporal queries that can analyze spatio-temporal changes has been developed. The object changes the geometry are grouped according to the taxonomy of Spatio-Temporal Pattern Change. This research has been able to apply the query patterns change including born, expand, merge, contract, split, normal and die. This query based on geometric (area) changes. The implementation of spatio-temporal change queries represents an object changes continuously with easy, change detection is done by comparing two versions of data. Keyword: spatio-temporal change query, spatio-temporal change pattern.
