Judul: Pengaruh Jarak Tanam dan Jenis Stek Terhadap Kecepatan Penutupan Arachis pintoi Krap. & Greg. Sebagai Biomulsa pada Pertanaman Tomat (Licopersicon esculentum M.)
Abstrak: This research was conducted in Cikabayan Experimental Field, Bogor from December 2011 to May 2012. The objective of this research was to study the effect of different types of cuttings and planting density of Arachis pintoi speed coverage and to find out the effect of the growth and the yield of tomato. The factorial experiment was arrangement in Randomized Completely Block Design with three replication. First factor was the types of cutting (bottom, middle, top) and the second factor was the density of planting (K1: 20 cm x 20 cm; K2:20 cm x 15 cm; K3: 20 cm x 10 cm; K4: 20 cm x 5 cm). The result of this research is that the density of planting and the cuttings factors were significant for increasing the coverage, but the interaction was not significant. K4 and K3 treatment are faster than K2 and K1 treatment on coverage speed. First and second factors were not significant for the growth effect and the yield of tomato. The coverage of Arachis pintoi can reduce the dry weight of weeds and able to increase the fruit weight per plant.

Judul: Respons Beberapa Varietas Tomat (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) terhadap Penanaman Kacang Hias (Arachis pintoi Krap. & Greg.) dalam Sistem Olah Tanah Minimum
Abstrak: The objective of this research was to determine the responses of several tomato varieties of pinto peanut (Arachis pintoi) planting in minimum tillage system. This research was conducted in Cikarawang Experiment Station, IPB Darmaga, Bogor, from Desember 2014 to April 2015. The experimental design that used in this experiment was split plot-randomized complete block design with two factors (biomulch planting and varieties of tomato) and three replications. The main plot is two different mulch and tillage treatment (Pinto peanut planting as biomulch with minimum tillage for tomato (M1) and no mulch used with conventional tillage for tomato (M0)) and six levels of variety such as Permata F1, Marglobe, Roma, Yasmin F1, Tomat rampai (Tora), and Sukon. The result of this research indicates that pinto peanut planting with minimum tillage system not significantly effected growth (plant height and number of leaves), production of tomato (weight per plant and weight per tile), and fruit quality (fruit hardness, total acid titrated, and fruit sweetness). Pinto peanut (A. pintoi) as biomulch is suitable to apply in tomato cultivation with minimum tillage system.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
