Judul: Effectivity of Acremonium sp. and Fusarium sp. as Double Inducer for Agarwood Formation in Aquilaria microcarpa.
Abstrak: Aquilaria microcarpa is one of the agarwood trees that produced the best quality of agar. The agar was formed on the infected tree. Acremonium sp. and Fusarium sp. are usually used as inoculant for agar production. Yet, Acremonium as single inoculant was not able to induce the tree to produce a good quality of agarwood. Therefore, Acremonium sp. was combined with Fusarium sp. (served as double inoculant) to induce agar production. This research was aimed at studying the effectiviness of double inoculants to improve quality of agar produce comparing to its single inoculant. A. microcarpa stem was first drilled to make holes, then the hole was filled with sugar solution (2%), inoculated by the first inoculant (A= Acremonium sp. or F= Fusarium sp.) and followed by second inoculant (F= Fusarium sp. or A= Acremonium sp.). Second inoculant was given one week after the first inoculant. Those inoculants were given in different holes in the same tree. Therefore, the treatments were composed of AF and FA as double inoculants, and A or F as a single inoculant. Effectivity of inoculation was determined on the bases of tree fitness and quality criteria such as wood discoloration (intensity, length and wide of browning zone), fragrance level and terpenoid contents. The effectivity was observed each month for four months period. Based on intensity of wood discoloration, length and wide of wood discoloration zone, and fragrance level, double inoculants tended to give a better result than single inoculant. AF stimulated fragrance formation that level and frequency of inoculation point with moderate and strongly fragrance were higher then those of FA. All inoculants, except single inoculant A, stimulated tree to produce triterpenoid. Key words: agarwood, Acremonium sp., Fusarium sp., single inoculant, double inoculant, terpenoid compound

Judul: Perbedaan Kandungan Senyawa Resin Gaharu (Aquilaria malaccensis) Hasil Inokulasi pada Tingkat Semai dan Pohon
Abstrak: Agarwood is one of forest tree species that can be harvested for its timber and resin, which has high price. One of agarwood tree species which has ability to form agarwood with the high-quality is Aquilaria malaccensis. Information on chemicals contained in agarwood is important for the development of this product that research on chemical content of agarwood resin needs to be done. The purpose of this research is to observe changes in resin components of agarwood inoculated with agarwood inducing fungi. Induction of Fusarium solani and Fusarium oxysporum fungi was done on the stem of A. malaccensis seedlings and trees, and then the chemical components of their resins were analyzed using GCMS. The result showed that all treatments were successfully induced agarwood formation. There are 7 main chemical compounds of agarwood produced by F. solani inoculated seedlings with relative concentrations of 16.38% for isolates from Jambi, and 13.87% for isolate from Gorontalo. Innoculation of F. oxysporum on trees generated 10 agarwood main compounds with relative concentration of 13.06%.

Judul: Simulasi Persamaan Keadaan Bintang Neutron Menggunakan Persamaan Polytropic dan Modified Gravity
Abstrak: Bintang neutron merupakan fase akhir dari suatu bintang yang berukuran cukup masif ketika telah kehabisan bahan bakarnya. Bintang ini tersusun atas beberapa macam materi penyusun, tetapi lebih didominasi oleh materi neutron terdegenerasi. Pada penelitian ini diperoleh bahwa dengan menggunakan pendekatan relativistic diperoleh jari-jari bintang neutron dengan nilai radius maksimum 32 km, sementara pendekatan nonrelativistic menghasilkan radius yang lebih kecil sebesar 11 km. Efek relativitas dalam hal ini akan meningkatkan nilai massa dan jari-jari bintang neutron. Pada variasi tekanan pusat, semakin besar tekanan pusat bintang neutron akan meningkatkan nilai massa dan mengecilkan nilai jari-jarinya. Pada pusat bintang, nilai rapat energi dan tekanannya sangat tinggi disebabkan oleh besarnya jumlah neutron di pusat dibandingkan di permukaan. Pada persamaan gravitasi termodifikasi yaitu persamaan Beyond Horndeski, profil bintang neutron akan lebih cocok pada parameter ϒ = -0.1 dengan massa maksimum sebesar 2.1851 Mʘ menggunakan pendekatan relativistic dan sebesar 0.791 Mʘ menggunakan pendekatan nonrelativistic .
