Judul: Model Penduga Biomassa Pohon Agathis (Agathis loranthifolia) Berdiameter Kecil di Hutan Pendidikan Gunung Walat, Sukabumi, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: One of the tree species for rehabilitation in Gunung Walat University Forest (GWUF) is agathis (Agathis loranthifolia). The biomass of small diameter agathis (≤ 10 cm) can be estimated by using Biomass Expansion Factor (BEF) and allometric biomass model, either for each tree component (stem, branches and twigs, and leaves) or for the total of above ground biomass. Based on data analysis using 32 sample trees, the stem biomass was 74%, branch biomass was 16%, and leaf biomass was 10%. The BEF of small diameter agathis was 1.075 (for lower wood density (WD)), 1.022 (for medium WD), and 0.944 (for higher WD). The allometric biomass models for each tree component and total biomass are Wstem = 0,0139dp3,132 (R2 = 99,2%), Wbranches and twigs = 0,0042dp2,963 (R2 = 97,3%), Wleaves = 0,0115dp2,276 (R2 = 97,1%), and Wtotal = 0,0276dp2,945 (R2 = 99,0%), where dp is collar diameter

Judul: Model Alometrik Biomassa Pinus (Pinus merkusii Jungh et De Vriese) Berdiameter Kecil di Hutan Pendidikan Gunung Walat, Sukabumi
Abstrak: Forest is an important natural resource for human life either directly or indirectly. One of the indirect benefits of forests is carbon sequestration as a result of photosynthetic processof plants that absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. This study was aimed at determining the biomass expansion factor (BEF), biomass conversion and expansion factor (BCEF), and developing allometric biomass models of small diameter (<10cm) pine (Pinus merkusii Jungh. et De Vriese) at Gunung Walat University Forest. Selection of 35 sample trees on each diameter class was carried out by using purposive sampling method. The biomass of each part of sample trees (steams, branches, and leaves) was estimated using destructive sampling. The largest portion of tree biomass contained in the steam (4.76 kg/tree).

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.
