Judul: Prototype Mobile GIS Kampus IPB Darmaga Menggunakan J2ME, GeoServer, dan Jaringan Wi-Fi
Abstrak: Bogor Agricultural University has a vast land area and identical building shape consisting of nine faculties and thirty eight departments. Many university students, especially freshman who are not familiar with the entire building’s site campus, in particular the location of lecture halls. In order to resolve the issue, a dynamic and accessible Geographic Information Systems for IPB Darmaga campus needs to be built. The aims of this research is to create and display a dynamic map for IPB campus as a mobile-based GIS. The system prototype used J2ME, GeoServer, and the campus Wi-Fi network used for location-based services. The prototype was built as a three-tier system that has three components: the client, the web server, and the database server. The client serves as a presentation tier for running the application. The web server consists of GeoServer as web map server, and Apache web server. GeoServer serves as an application to store and process geospatial data and sends a response in the form of maps and its information to client. A PHP web application serves as the application for processing location data based on SSID Wi-Fi sent by client. System provides functions to select and display map layers, and there are additional menus such as Zoom in, Zoom out, Refresh, Reset view, GetFeatureInfo, the menu to request information about specific features shown on the map, and MyLocation, the menu used to identify user’s location based on Wi-Fi network.

Judul: Prototipe layanan mobile berbasis lokasi memanfaatkan jaringan wireless-fidelity di kampus IPB Darmaga
Abstrak: Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) was one of technologies on Indoor Positioning Location-based Services (LBS) which was part of the Context-aware System. The LBS‟s applications were commonly found in everyday life, such as Car Navigation and Yellow Pages. The main idea of this prototype development was to create mobile commerce application for IPB‟s facilities on Windows Mobile Professional phone which implemented Context-aware System. The contexts were location, time, user‟s profile, and presence status of the user. The location context retrieved by measuring the signal strength of the access point of the Wi-Fi on a location.The name of the access point with the highest signal then recorded and used as the location context. There were two services of this application, they were product images and the static map images of the facilities.

Judul: Buprenorphine and Fischer-344 Rats Post-operative Stress Levels: Impact on Serum Corticosterone Levels.
Abstrak: The use of laboratory animals in experiment often requires surgical operations. Post-operative condition often associated with pain and stress. Preemptive analgesia and post operative treatment with buprenorphine can reduce post operative pain and stress and prevent prolonged pain. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to test the hypothesis that pre operative treatment of buprenorphine reduces stress and suppresses the pre-operative serum corticosterone levels in Fischer 344 rats. A total of 14 adult male Fischer 344 (F344/Sca) rats permanently catheterized in artery carotis communis were used. During 94 hour post-operatively the blood sample was collected at specific time point using Accusampler®, an automated blood sampling. Corticosterone levels were quantified with ELISA method using sheep polyclonal antibody to corticosterone. Buprenorphine is effective as pre-emptive analgesia in F344 strain. However the dose is higher than what has been reported in Sprague Dawley strain. Buprenorphine 1.0 mg/kg significantly suppressed serum corticosterone levels immediately after rats regain consciousness. Rats in buprenorphine 1.0 mg/kg group were protected from post operative body weight loss and reduced water intake compare to control, nutella, and buprenorphine 0.4 mg/kg group. Quantification of fecal corticosteroid metabolites failed to detect stress in present study.
