Abstrak: The objective of this experiment was to evaluate addition of forger by measuring physical properties of materials with addition of corn corb flour. Corn corb mixed with rice bran by different levels 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. This design used complete random design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 3 replications. The data analyzed by ANOVA and if there were differences continued by orthogonal contrast test. The results showed the addition of corn corb flour significantly decreased (P<0.01) specific density (kg l-1) of 1.36, 1.32, 1.26, 1.20, and 1.16 (r = 93%), bulk density (g l-1) of 286.53, 283.02, 275.74, 268.35, and 263.86 (r = 98%), compacted bulk density (g l-1) of 475.44, 463.69, 453.18, 443.14, and 433.53 (r = 99%), angle of repose (o) of 44.40, 43.91, 43.27, 43.15, and 42.70 (r = 93%), and increased particle size (mm) of 1.22, 1.23, 1.23, 1.24, and 1.25 (r = 95.8%). As conclusion, the fifth parameters could be used to detected forgery and based on the correlation, compacted bulk density was the most correct measurement.

Abstrak: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in the physical properties of rice bran as a result of the addition of sawdust. Sawdust mixed with rice bran by different levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. The design used was CRD (completely randomized design) with 5 treatments and 3 replications. Data analysis was performed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by orthogonal contrast test. The addition of sawdust in the treatment in affecting the physical properties of rice bran. Value of the physical properties of rice bran were specific gravity (kg l-1) amounted to 1.33, 1.31, 1.29, 1.27 and 1.24 (r = 98.59%), bulk density (g l-1) amounted to 275.27, 267.38, 259.55, 251.26 and 243.13 (r = 97.97%), compacted bulk density (g l-1) amounted to 432.30, 420.19, 405.08, 393.29 and 385.61 (r = 98.64% ), angle of repose (°) were 39.90, 39.68, 39.35, 39.15 and 38.95 (r = 98.28%). All of physical properties can be used to detect forgeries, but based on the results of the correlation, compacted bulk density had the highest closeness of the relationship. This results showed that compacted bulk density was the best indicator to detect forgeries.

Judul: Rabies sebagai penyakit zoonosis serta usaha pencegahan dan pengendaliannya
Abstrak: Rabies adalah suatu penyakit akut yang sudah sejak lama diketahui baik pada hewan maupun manusia dan selalu berakhir dengan kematian. Disebabkan oleh virus filterable yang bersifat neurotropic. Terdiri atas beberapa serotipe yang dapat diisolasi dari hewan mamalia, rodensia, serangga dan bahkan manusia (Keep, 1982). Semua hewan berdarah panas peka terhadap infeksi rabies. Penyebaran dialam terjadi lewat berbagai jenis hewan seperti anjing, kucing, rubah, serigala, Jackal, kelelawar dan sebagainya. Setiap negara/daerah mempunyai epidemiologi yang berbeda untuk pemyebaran penyakit rabies, sehingga berbeda pula reservoir dan vektor utamanya (Sikes, 1975). Infeksi penyakit paling banyak lewat gigitan hewan gila/tersangka gila, meskipun beberapa kasus terjadi bu kan lewat gigitan. Manusia merupakan jalan buntu (dead erd) terhadap penyebaran rabies meskipun beberapa pihak masih menyangsikan (Bisseru, 1972; Kaplan, 1977). ...
