Judul: Feeding and develoment of european corn borer and southern armyworm larvae on U.S. inbred and caribbean maize genotypes
Abstrak: DIMBOA is an aglucone that occurs in some maize genotypes and has been known as a resistance factor of corn to several pathogens and insects. In this study, variable concentrations of DIMBOA in several corn genotypes at different plant heights as well as dif­ ferent plant parts were observed. In B 49, San Juan and DIMBOALESS genotypes, the concentration of DIMBOA declined as the plants grew taller. DIMBOA concentrations were generally highest in the leaves and then in decreasing order of concentration, in the whorl and stalk. Feeding and developmental studies of European corn borer on selected maize genotypes were conducted under field and greenhouse conditions. Apparently, corn plant resistance (DIMBOA and a non­ DIMBOA mechanism in San Juan) was largely expressed during the first instar feeding period. As the larvae move into other parts of the plant, genotypic-specif lant resistance, if any, to larval development becomes more variable.

Judul: Penggerek Batang Jagung Ostrinia furnacalis Guenée (Lepidoptera: Crambidae): Tingkat Serangan di Wilayah Bogor dan Siklus Hidupnya di Laboratorium
Abstrak: In Indonesia, corn (Zea mays L.) is used as the second largest food crop after rice. Corn is also important source of animal feed and vegetable oil. The productivity of corn crop often lowered by the infestation of the asiatic corn borer (ACB) Ostrinia furnacalis Guenée (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) and losses due to this pest could reach 20-80%. The purposes of the study are to survey the degree of field infestation by ACB in Bogor area and to investigate the ACB life cycle in the laboratory. Field study was carried out in 15 villages where corn was planted. The presence of the hole and the frass on the corn stalk were observed. Secondary data of agronomy practice were also gathered by interviewing the farmer. Of 75 plant samples that have been determined sistematically on each plot, 52% (the highest) were infested by ACB in village Cikarawang, 6.7% in village Babakan, Neglasari, and Cihideung Udik. No ACB infestation was detected in village Mekarsari. Other villages showed different degree of infestation between 8.3-44%. The different degree of ACB infestation amongst the observed villages did not correlate with the different of plant variety, applied pesticide, and time planting. In the laboratory the ACB eggs hatched in 4 days. By using the artificial diet for larvae, the stadia of instar I was 3-6 days, instar II was 2-5 days, instar III was 2-7 days, instar IV was 2-7 days, instar V was 5-11 days. The ACB took pupal stage during 6-8 days. The longevity of the ACB adult was 9-15 days. The sexual dimorphism was observed: the size of male pupa and adult was smaller than female, the color pattern of front wing of the male was darker than that of female, and the different form of exterior genital sign.

Judul: Rumus parameter bagi persamaan super pythagoras
Abstrak: Tripel bilangan bulat positif yang memenuhi persamaan Pythagoras disebut tripel Pythagoras. Misalkan u dan v adalah parameter dari bilangan asli, maka kita dapat menunjukkan bahwa (x, y, r) dengan rumus parameter x = -v, y2uv, dan adalah tripel Pythagoras. Penanıbahan suku atau pangkat dalam persamaan Pythagoras menghasilkan persamaan yang kita sebut persamaan Super Pythagoras sebagai berikut: dengan 22 dan kan Jadi persamaan Pythagoras adalah salah satu bentuk persamaan Super Pythagoras. Masalah yang dibahas dalam tulisan ini adalah mencari rumus parameter yang ideal, yang memenuhi persamaan Super Pythagoras (PSP). Rumus parameter bagi PSP yang berpangkat dikatakan ideal jika sebanyak mungkin memenuhi sifat bahwa rumus parameternya berlaku bagi PSP dengan jumlah saku sesedikit mungkin dan dapat diekspansi, serta sesedikit mungkin fungsi-fungsi parameter yang sama dalam rumusnya. Pencarian rumus parameter yang ideal bagi persamaan Super Pythagoras merupakan masalah baru dalam teori bilangan. Menurut Cong Philip, yang mengkhususkan diri mempelajari teori bilangan, masalah ini diperkenalkan oleh Ke Cao pada tahun 1967 dalam salah satu suratnya. Ke Cao menyatakan bahwa persamaan Super Pythagoras penting dalam teknologi di abad mendatang. Rumus-rumus parameter yang berhasil diturunkan adalah rumus yang mengandung satu parameter dan dua parameter, yang berlaku bagi persamaan Super Pythagoras dengan tingkat 2, 3, 4, 5 dan 6. Beberapa hasil pengamatan dari runus-rumus parameter tersebut adalah sebagai berikut: • Rumus satu parameter umumnya lebih ideal daripada rumus dua parameter; semma rumus satu parameter dapat diekspansi • Umumnya, rumus parameter yang diperoleh semakin kurang ideal apabila tingkat PSP semakin tinggi. • Setiap PSP dengan pangkat tertentu mempunyai rumus dua parameter yang barkarakter menyolok (ada nilai x, yang sekawan dengan nilai r). • Ada nilai x, dalam PSP, yang diberikan oleh rumus parameter yang ideal, yang merupakan kelipatan dari pangkat PSP-nya
