Abstrak: Red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is an economically high valued plant which its selling influenced by physical factors such as quality and appearance. Air temperature affects heat unit response and plant phenology which can be used to determine planting period on various environment temperature condition, starting from seed planting until harvesting period. This research aimed to observe temperature and relative humidity vertical profiles around plant canopy and to analyse paranet shading influence toward heat unit and phenology of red pepper plant. The result shows air temperature and relative humidity vertical profile around plant canopy are fluctuative as having lapse rate and inversion pattern at each height.Heat unit of non-shaded and 50%-shaded red pepper plant are 1750 Coday and 2005 Coday respectively (15% greater than without shading). As a whole, using of paranet shading can decrease air temperature by 0.3 oC. Red pepper plant is unsuitable to be planted using 75%-shading because its generative phase become obstructed

Judul: Analisis akumulasi panas pada perkembangan tanaman cabai Bolivian Rainbow (Capsicum annuum)
Abstrak: Bolivian Rainbow (BR) chilli has four fruit colours that changes according to its level of maturity development. This characteristic makes BR chilli suitable as ornamental pepper rather than consumed. This research aimed to analyze and calculate the heat unit in the development of BR chilli inside and outside the greenhouse. The development of BR chilli is divided into vegetative and generative phases. The average temperature in the greenhouse was 28.0 °C with a maximum temperature of 37.0 ºC. The average temperature outside the greenhouse was 26.3 °C with a maximum temperature of 41.0 ºC. The growing response of BR chilli outside greenhouse in this study was better than its response inside greenhouse. Too high greenhouse temperature was not suitable for the development of BR. Development stage of BR inside greenhouse stopped at FG6 phase with heat unit of 907 ºC. Development stage of BR outside greenhouse could reach until FG14 phase with heat unit of 1470 ºC. The concept of heat unit could not be used to explain the linear correlation between temperature and plant development if the temperatures were not within the optimum temperatures for the plant.

Judul: Urolitiasis pada anjing
Abstrak: Urolitiasis adalah suatu penyakit dimana terjadi proses pengendapan batu pada traktus urinaria. Kalkuli yang paling banyak dijumpai pada kasus urolitiasis anjing adalah kalkuli magnesium amonium fosfat (struvite), jika dibandingkan dengan kalkuli oksalat, sistin dan urat (Osborne et al., 1982). Infeksi oleh Staphylococcus aureus pada traktus urinaria memgang peranan penting dalam proses pembentukan kalkuli, karena bakteri tersebut dapat menghasilkan enzim urease, raktor predisposisi tidak dapat dinisankan dari infeksi traktus urinaria. Pada anjing, tempat yang banyak didapati pengandapan kalkuli adalah kantung air kemih dan uretra, sedangkan pada ginjalnya jarang. Pada anjing jantan lebih sering kejadiannya dibanding dengan pada anjing betina, karena anatomi traktus urinaria pada anjing jantan lebih memungkinkan untuk terjadinya obstruksi, yaitu lebih panjang dan sempit. Besarnya, kalkuli bervariasi, dari kecil dan halus seperti pasir sampai besar dan kasar seperti batu karang. ...
