Judul: The Utilization of Sycanus sp. (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)  for Pest Control.
Abstrak: Sycanus sp. (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) merupakan serangga predator yang dapat ditemukan di berbagai macam habitat seperti perkebunan, pertanaman hortikultura, tanaman pangan, dan kehutanan. Predator ini bersifat polifag karena memiliki kisaran mangsa yang luas seperti Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, dan Coleoptera. Sycanus sp. memiliki kelebihan seperti mudah dikembangkan di laboratorium, mempunyai siklus hidup yang relatif panjang, dan berperan sebagai predator di semua stadia perkembangan mulai dari fase pradewasa sampai dewasa. Studi pustaka ini bertujuan menghimpun infromasi mendalam tentang pemanfaatan serta potensi Sycanus sp. dalam pengendalian serangga hama. Tahapan penulisan terdiri dari perumusan masalah, pengumpulan data, analisis dan sintesis serta pembuatan simpulan dan saran. Hasil dari studi pustaka menunjukkan bahwa keberhasilan pemangsaan hama oleh Sycanus sp. terbukti dengan menurunnya populasi hama Strepsicrates sp. di pertanaman Melaleuca sp. di daerah Riau. Contoh lain pemanfaatan Sycanus sp. yaitu pada pertanaman Acacia mangium yang dapat megurangi kerusakan yang disebabkan oleh hama Helopeltis sp. sebanyak 20%. Dari contoh kasus-kasus tersebut, disimpulkan bahwa Sycanus sp. dapat dikembangkan sebagai predator yang berpotensi untuk menekan populasi berbagai hama dengan memperhatikan teknik implementasi yang tepat., Sycanus sp. (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is predatory insect that can be found in a variety of habitats such as plantations, horticulture, food crops, and forestry. These predators are polypags because they have a wide range of prey such as Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, and Coleoptera. Sycanus sp. has such advantages as easy to develop in the laboratory, has a relatively long life cycle, and acts as a predator in all stages of development from the adult to the adult phase. This literature study aims to gather in-depth information on the use and potential of Sycanus sp. in the control of insect pests. The writing stage consists of problem formulation, data collection, analysis and synthesis as well as making conclusions and recommendations. The results of the literature study show that the success of pest predation by Sycanus sp. evidenced by a decrease in the population of pests Strepsicrates sp. in Melaleuca sp. in the Riau area. Another example of the use of Sycanus sp. namely on the cultivation of Acacia mangium which can reduce the damage caused by the pest Helopeltis sp. as much as 20%. From the examples of these cases, it is concluded that Sycanus sp. can be developed as a potential predator to suppress the population of various pests by paying attention to proper implementation techniques.

Judul: Persamaan Korteweg-de Vries Orde Tinggi untuk Menggambarkan Gerak Gelombang Internal
Abstrak: The ocean can be considered of layers of fluid that each layer has a constant density. Internal waves are waves occur in the interface of every'two layers with different density. Because it occures underneath the surface of the ocean, it is invisible. One of internal waves is internal solitary waves. One of formulation that can describe intemal waves movement is KdV equation. KdV equation is derived from governing equations of ideal fluid in Lagrange formulation using asymptotic method. On this thesis, KdV equation is derived in higher order and then its solution is derived by using internal solitary waves assumption. An example of a two-layer fluid is a case will be used. By using Mathematica6 software, for this case will be obtained the coefficients in lower and higher order explicitly and the corresponding between coefficients and relative lower layer depths and fluid depths, the corresponding between coefficients and relative densities, and also observed the different between solitary waves in lower and higher order.
