Judul: Distribution of attack by wooly adelgid (Pinus boerneri) on pine stand (Pinus merkusii) (Case study in KPH Sumedang, Perum Perhutani Unit III, West Java and Banten)
Abstrak: Pine tree is known as one of the Indonesian commercial timber. Timber produced by pine tree has clear yellowish white color, which make it very attractive to be used for various furniture, house building, floor, furniture and various other products. Pine trees which are abundantly planted as plantation forest have some risk to be attacked by pest and disease. Monoculture condition of plantation forest which tends to be homogeneous, increases the tendency of attack by pest and diseases. At present, there is found pest species of the order Hemiptera which is known by the term wooly adelgid (Pineus boerneri). Pest wooly adelgid which attacks P. merkusii in Indonesia constitutes a new pest which was originated from outside Indonesia (exotic) and at present has not been found in other kinds of pine trees. Knowledge on distribution and condition of attack by wooly adelgid in pine stand is needed to determine the natural control action through environmental modification to create environment which is unfavorable for the wooly adelgid pest.

Judul: Kerusakan Batang Pohon Akibat Penyadapan Getah Pinus di KPH Cianjur Perum Perhutani Unit III Jawa Barat dan Banten
Abstrak: Pine resin is one of non-timber forest products that be utilized. Production demand of pine resin is high. To fulfill such demand, increase of production of resin was done by over tapping and the use of inorganic stimulant resulted in damaged trees. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of damage of pine trees due to increase in number of quarres and inorganic stimulants by measuring the moisture content and pH level which were found in the pine trees. The results showed that the moisture content and pH in the tapping-affected timber were lower than those in the unaffected ones. The higher the intensity, the higher the damage for the wood. It could be predicted that pine tree on 2-quarre tapping was 86.26%, higher than that of the 6-quarre tapping which was 66.9%.

Judul: Analysis of NaTFSA Electrolytes on Sodium Ion  Batteries Using the DC-DFTB-MD Method
Abstrak: Pelarut air digunakan dalam sistem elektrolit NaTFSA pada baterai ion natrium karena sifatnya yang relatif aman. Namun, menghasilkan tegangan yang cukup rendah sehingga memiliki keterbatasan dalam pengaplikasiannya. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut dikembangkan elektrolit berkonsentrasi tinggi. Pada penelitian ini, pengaruh konsentrasi elektrolit NaTFSA terhadap sifat struktur, dinamika, dan elektronik dianalisis menggunakan metode dinamika molekul pada level mekanika kuantum. Analisis mikroskopik struktur dan dinamika elektrolit NaTFSA menunjukkan bahwa seiring kenaikan konsentrasi, koefisien difusi air menurun sedangkan konduktivitas elektrolit cenderung meningkat sebanding dengan mobilitas ion-ion., The aqueous solvent is used in the NaTFSA electrolyte system in sodium ion batteries because it is relatively safer. However, the voltage window of the sodium ion battery is narrower than that of the lithium ion battery, thus it still limits its practical implementation. To overcome this problem, a high concentration of electrolyte was developed. In this present work, the salt concentration effect on structural, dynamic and electronic properties were analyzed using molecular dynamics methods at the quantum mechanical level. Microscopic analysis of the structural and dynamical properties of the NaTFSA electrolyte showed that as the concentration increased, the water diffusion coefficient decreased while the electrolyte conductivity tended to increase.
