Improvement of agricultural development requires improvement of supporting factors of agricultural cultivation, especially the improvement of soil conditions using organic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers should go through the composting process to provide nutrients faster for plants. The composting process requires bioactivators to accelerate the decomposition of organic matter. Selection of bioactivators used in the composting process should be more careful considering each organic material has a different C / N ratio. Composting of organic materials with low C / N ratios generally does not have many obstacles, but the composting of organic materials with high C / N as in oil palm empty bunches requires a bioactivator capable of decomposing high levels of lignin in oil palm empty bunches. Development of bioactivators is a step that must be done in order to find a bioactivator that can accelerate the decomposition process, especially for organic materials with high C / N as in oil palm empty bunches. The research stages include: Identification, isolation and selection of potential microbials from maschy mole mol, gamal leaf mole, and fish waste mole, Analysis of mole chemistry, Mole application test to waste of empty palm oil bunches. The experimental method used in the fermentation stage of waste bunch of empty palm oil with 2 factors. The first factor is the MOL type, the second factor is the MOL concentration. The first factor consists of 3 treatments, the second factor consists of 4 treatments so that there are 12 treatments. The experiment was performed with 4 replications. First Factor; p1 = mol snail mas (km), p2 = mol gamal leaf (dg), p3 = mol of fish waste (li). The second factor was k1 = 100 ml of bioactivator / liter water solution, k2 = 150 ml of bioactivator / liter water solution, k3 = 200 ml of bioactivator / liter water solution, k4 = 250 ml of bioactivator / liter water solution.The results showed 1) the microorganisms identified in Koong Mas mole were Black Niger Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Trichoderma. In MOL Leaves of Gamal are Bacillus Biru, Bacillus Merah, Pythium, and Trichoderma. In MOL Fish Waste is Thricoderma. 2) Compost of empty palm oil bunches has not been decomposed perfectly because it has C / N> 25, but has provided nutrient elements of pH, total N, and K total according to SNI 19-7030-2004 standard. The high C / N ratio is probably due to environmental factors ie high temperatures at the composting site and the lack of moisture in the compost thus inhibiting the decomposition process. Key words: Local microorganisms, organic farming, and bioactivators

Ultimate resolution in the scanning electron microscope is determined not only by the diameter of the incident electron beam, but by interaction of that beam with the specimen material. Generally, while minimum beam diameter diminishes with increasing voltage, due to the reduced effect of aberration component and magnetic interference, the excited volume within the sample increases with electron energy. Thus, for any given material and imaging signal, there is an optimum volt age to achieve best resolution.In the case of organic materials, which are in general of low density and electric ally non-conducting; and may in addition be susceptible to radiation and heat damage, the selection of correct operating parameters is extremely critical and is achiev ed by interative adjustment.

In recent years, the electron microscope has been significantly improved in resolution and we can obtain routinely atomic-level high resolution images without any special skill. With this improvement, the structure analysis of organic materials has become one of the interesting targets in the biological and polymer crystal fields.Up to now, X-ray structure analysis has been mainly used for such materials. With this method, however, great effort and a long time are required for specimen preparation because of the need for larger crystals. This method can analyze average crystal structure but is insufficient for interpreting it on the atomic or molecular level. The electron microscopic method for organic materials has not only the advantage of specimen preparation but also the capability of providing various information from extremely small specimen regions, using strong interactions between electrons and the substance. On the other hand, however, this strong interaction has a big disadvantage in high radiation damage.

The Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) offers exciting new ways of imaging surfaces of biological or organic materials with resolution to the sub-molecular scale. Rigid, conductive surfaces can readily be imaged with the STM with atomic resolution. Unfortunately, organic surfaces are neither sufficiently conductive or rigid enough to be examined directly with the STM. At present, nonconductive surfaces can be examined in two ways: 1) Using the AFM, which measures the deflection of a weak spring as it is dragged across the surface, or 2) coating or replicating non-conductive surfaces with metal layers so as to make them conductive, then imaging with the STM. However, we have found that the conventional freeze-fracture technique, while extremely useful for imaging bulk organic materials with STM, must be modified considerably for optimal use in the STM.

The minerals pyrite and marcasite (broadly termed pyritic minerals) are iron sulfides that are common if not ubiquitous in sedimentary rocks, especially in association with organic materials (Berner, 1970). In most marine sedimentary associations, pyrite and marcasite are associated with organic sediments rich in dissolved sulfate and iron minerals. Because of the rapid consumption of sulfate in freshwater environments, however, pyrite formation is more restricted in nonmarine sediments (Berner, 1983). The origin of the sulfur in nonmarine environments must lie within pre-existing rocks or volcanic detritus; a relatively small, but significant contribution may derive from plant and animal decomposition products.

Summary A report is presented of a study of the material from Robenhausen and other sites of the Neolithic period in Switzerland, part of the Bishop Collection in the Hunterian Museum, the University of Glasgow. The material is described and its likely setting within the cultural sequence of the Swiss Neolithic is discussed. The importance of the collection is seen to lie in the finds of organic materials, artefacts and macroscopic plant remains, which afford a rare glimpse of detail in craftsmanship and husbandry in Neolithic Europe.
