Abstract

Butterflies are insects that live cosmopolitan. Some butterflies in tropical forests look for food sources from sucking the juice of ripe fruits that have fallen on the forest floor. Fruit-feeding butterflies can adapt in finding food sources, selecting and sucking food effectively. Fruit contains varying concentrations of sugar and nitrogen. The existence of fruit-feeding butterflies in tropical rain forests is influenced by the availability and quality of food sources as well as other supporting factors such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity. The purpose of this study was to identify fruit-feeding butterflies and their preferences for banana and pineapple baits in the Soraya Research Station Area, Leuser Ecosystem, Aceh, Indonesia from September to November 2020. Six forest trail locations were selected as trap locations. A total of 360 cylindrical gauze baited traps (80 cm high and 35 cm diameter) were installed on six trails/line transects. Baited traps were set at three different heights, that is at the understorey level (± 0-2 m), midstorey level (± 5-6 m), and overstorey level (± 10-11 m) with a distance of ± 5-10 m. The distance between location points is ± 250 m. The fruit baits used in this trap were ripe bananas and pineapples. The results obtained were 37 species with 176 individuals trapped on banana bait and 50 species with 183 individuals on pineapple bait. However, the results of the t-test using the Man-Whitney test showed no significant difference between the banana and pineapple bait used.

Abstract

Printed newspaper is one of the print-based media published daily in large quantities. The focus of this research is to remove the ink from used newsprint with alkaline treatment by using ultrasound sonochemistry method. Newsprint sheets collected were characterized by mechanical and morphology tests using FT-IR, XRD, tensile test and SEM. FT-IR spectra analysis shows the absorption of C=C functional groups as the main components of newspapers at 1427 and 1635 cm-1 wavelengths. The treatment with alkaline solution increased the mechanical strength properties of paper. SEM morphology analysis result shows that the surface of paper becomes more rough after ultrasound-alkaline treatment compared to paper without ultrasound treatment (conventional treatment). The crystallinity value decreased with alkaline treatment. The longer the ultrasound duration was, the lower the crystallinity degree became.

Abstract

Identification is a basic activity and one of primary objective on systematic. For plant biodiversity studies,it was the first steps that researcher performed before studying any topics in the research area. Unfortunately, species identification is usually a time consuming activity. One of the main objectives of this study was to obtain a set of leaf morphology characters that were useful and efficient enough for species identification, especially on the tree habits group in order to reduce time consuming for the identification species.  All of the leaf morphology characters were selected by correlation coefficient and separation coefficient values. Besides of that, the stability, simplicity and validity of the characters were also part of concern. The characters that had high value of separation coefficient and low value of correlation coefficient would be added one by one as in their rank, until the value of the combination separation coefficient was equal to 1 (100%). The result of this study suggested that 30 from 92 characters of leaf morphology were recommended as a set of characters that useful and efficient enough for species identification.

Abstract

A thorough understanding of an earthquake is very important to provide a descriptive knowledge and in the same time as a prescriptive knowledge for the future development. In particular, it is essential for site selection and structural design development of nuclear reactor and other critical facilities. Ground motion acceleration time history is an important raw information to understand the earthquake and specific geological condition of where the data is recorded. This paper presented the development of strong-motion analysis code, called Winston-BATAN, which able to interpret ground motion time history. The analysis scope of the code including the ground motion parameters such as peak ground acceleration, several additional seismic intensity parameters, strong motion duration, its frequency content via Fast Fourier Transformation and response spectra analysis. Being developed based on an open source Python programming language, Winston-BATAN is flexible for exploratory study to exploit the ground motion time history and easily improve to accommodate additional features. This code able to read input from PEER NGA type file or a simple time and acceleration data type of ground motion. Analysis results of Winston-BATAN shows a very good agreement compare to the results from the standard tools Seismosignal® 2018 Software, in addition flexibility of this code, in particular, to explore the response spectra from the ground motion time history is demonstrated.

Abstract

The Dipterocarpaceae family is one of the identified plant groups with high conservation value that exist in Weh Island Nature Tourism Park. However, the data availability on the species diversity and population structure of Dipterocarpaceae in Weh island in particular and Aceh in general is still very limited. Thus, it is necessary to conduct studies on species diversity and population structure of Dipterocarpaceae from Weh Island. This study aims to obtain data on species abundance and diversity, species composition of each stratum, population structure, and stand structure of Dipterocarpaceae in Weh Island Nature Tourism Park. This research utilized transect method with randomly selected plots according to topographic conditions. We found two Dipterocarpaceae species: Shorea sumatrana (Slooten) Desch and Dipterocarpus hasseltii Blume. Shorea sumatrana (Slooten) Desch has the greatest abundance of all types and strata. The diversity of Dipterocarpaceae species in Weh Island Nature Tourism Park is categorized as low because the diversity index value is in the range of H'1. This means that the presence of seedling and sapling strata from each species has a major effect on the survival of the Dipterocarpaceae family in the future. The stand structure of the Dipterocarpaceae family in normal conditions is indicated by an inverted “J” shaped diagram.
