Abstrak: The objective of the research is to design and develop a tool to brace the stemflow in order to reduce the water from the rain fall in to the resin container. Research was conducted by making stemflow brace made from a plastic bottle of mineral water 1.5 liter, bicycle tire outer diameter of 60 cm and a rubber tube with a diameter of 1.5 inches. Stemflow brace attached to the tree pinus, three types of tools on three trees, each measuring of tree diameter 20 cm, 40 cm and 60 cm. Measurements were taken every day for a 20 days rain. The result showed that the stemflow brace that effective to reduce volume of water and resin stored inside the storage container brace stemflow was made from a plastic bottle of mineral water 1.5 liter. This tool has the lowest volume of water deposited on a tree 20 cm diameter by 18.00 ml, 40 cm diameter tree at 46.25 ml and the tree with a diameter of 60 cm has a volume of 24.33 ml of water reservoir. Stemflow brace from a plastic bottle of mineral water 1.5 liter have adequate consideration of the cost of making with lowest cost at Rp 868/unit.

Judul: Produktivitas Penyadapan Getah Pinus dengan Metode Bor tanpa Pipa
Abstrak: Drill method is a method of tapping that gives many advantages but also has many deficiency, such as the use of pipes is not efficient and add more costs, it also difficult to move the resin from the receptacle into a drum, and it can’t accommodate the resin which came after the tapping period. This research uses five different treatments. Treatment A by using the quarre method without stimulansia as a control, treatment B by using the quarre method with stimulansia, treatment C by using the drilling method with a pipe, treatment D by using drilling method without a pipe, and treatment E by using the drill method with a pipe and resin shelters not on a pipe. The tree sample used in every treatment is 10. The research shows that the treatment D by using drill method without a pipe gives the highest resin productivity however it has more water content and higher levels of impurities than the other drill method designed. Thus, drill methods without a pipe, is a tapping solution that capable of producing qualified resin also has not destructive to trees compared to the quarre method. It also can produce more resin with an economical and practical surplus than the drill method by using a pipe.

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.
