Judul: Antibacterial Activity of Neem (Azadirachta indica) Leaf Extract Using Agar Disc Diffusion Method
Abstrak: SETIYANINGSIH and USAMAH AFIFF Neem (Azadirachta indica) has traditionally been considered one of the most versatile medicinal plants that possesses a wide spectrum of biological properties including anti–inflammatory, anti–arthritic, anti–pyretic, anti–gastric ulcer, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, antimalarial, antidiabetic and antitumor activities. In this study, the agar disc diffusion method was used to determine the antibacterial activity of ethanolic neem leaf extract against three Staphylococcus aureus isolates from different sources which are human skin, snake mouth and cow milk, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Micrococcus sp., Bacillus sp., and Serratia sp. Neem leaf extract at concentrations of 40%, 60% and 80% were used with negative controls of water and ethanol as well as a positive control of Penicillin-G antibiotics. Inhibition zones were observed after 24-hour incubation, of the neem leaf extract at all concentrations to all Gram–positive bacteria which are S. aureus, S. epidermidis, Micrococcus sp. and Bacillus sp. Bacillus sp. was shown to have the highest sensitivity to the neem leaf extract. The largest zones of inhibition were observed at the 80% concentration of neem leaf extract in all bacteria excluding Serratia sp. Gram–negative bacteria Serratia sp. was resistant to the antibacterial effects of the neem leaf extract.

Judul: Aktivitas Antibakteri Ekstrak Daun Sengon (Falcataria moluccana (L) Nielsen) terhadap Bakteri Staphylococcus aureus dan Escherichia coli
Abstrak: Disease by infection is most suffered by people and developed from time to time in medicines. The last research showed that Falcataria moluccana leafs had fitochemical compounds and potential as antibactery. The research aimed to study the antibacterial compounds activity of Falcataria moluccana leafs extract at S. aureus and E. coli with gel diffusion (well method). The leafs used in this research were leaf extract from extraction of aquades, ethanol 70%, ethanol 96%, and ethyl acetate. The concentrations were 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 mg/mL for each solvents. The result showed that aquades extract could not inhibit the growth of bacteria, while ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts showed antibacterial activity. The largest antibacterial activity showed by ethyl acetate extract at concentration 300 mg/mL with inhibiton areas 6.90 and 4.97 mm for S. aureus and E. coli. This values included in medium category. The result of Analysis of Variance with SPSS 16. program for windows showed that variance of solvents and concentration were significantly difference for inhibition areas.

Judul: Hamiltonian formulation for linear waves motion in two layers fluid
Abstrak: The surface wave could be considered as a wave that separates two fluids, namely water and air. Based on this assumption, it is introduced the interfacial wave, a wave between two layers of fluid with different density. The formulation of interfacial waves motion begins with deriving the base equation of irrotational ideal fluid. Furthermore, according to irrotational fluid assumption, the base equation can be stated in velocity potential. In this derivation, the fluids domain is assumed to be restricted by rigid lid boundary conditions, both at the upper and lower limit. Therefore, the interfacial waves motion can be explained in a hamiltonian formulation. In the hamiltonian formulation, total energy is defined as the sum of kinetic and potential energy. The hamiltonian system is obtained from reduction of kinetic energy by using the Dirichlet Neumann Operator. The resulted kinetic energy equation is nonlinear. Therefore, this form is linearized by first part of the Taylor expansion. This linearization gives a dispersion relation of linear wave. Based on this dispersion relation, the phase speed of the linear wave depends on the density ratio of the two layers fluid.
