Abstrak: This research was a trial step in order to study the potential of SD-3 sweet corn genotype to be developed into high-yielding variety which is able to compete with commercial varieties. The experiment used Randomized Complete Block Design, single factor, with five treatments and four replications. The treatment consisted of one sweet corn genotype (SD-3) and four comparison varieties (Super Sweet, Bonanza, Sweet Boy, and Sugar 75). This experiment was aimed to evaluate the appearance, yield and quality of SD-3 genotype with four comparison varieties in Bogor by observing agronomic character in the field, vegetative and generative growth, production potential as well as quantity and quality of crop. Data was analyzed with ANOVA (F-test) then continued with Dunnet test (α = 5 %) and Pearson correlation coefficient. The results of research showed that there was a significant different in several quantitative variables of sweet corn. Genotype treatment did not significantly affect on the productivity. Based on comparative advantage, SD-3 genotype is better than all comparison varieties

Judul: Daya hasil dan kualitas jagung manis genotipe sd3 dengan empat varietas Pembanding di Kabupaten Bandung
Abstrak: The productivity of sweet corn is low caused by not using superior seed. The hybrid sweet corn seed price is expensive. The cheap of non-hybrid sweet corn seed is not available in the market. SD3 (open-pollinated variety) assembled to share a cheaper seed for farmers. The objective of this research was to evaluate yield, quality and performance of sweet corn genotype SD3 compared to four varieties (Super Sweet, Bonanza, Sweet Boy, and SG 75). The experiment was conducted from 30 June to 1 Oktober 2012 using a Randomized Complete Block Design with one factor and four replications at Banjaran, Cimaung sub district, Bandung regency. Based on research result, genotype SD3 is higher than Super Sweet (open-pollinated variety) for kernel row number and total soluble solid level. Meanwhile, when compared to Bonanza and Sweet Boy (hybrid variety), genotype SD3 can not compete. Bonanza is higher than SD3 for ear diameter, ear weight with cornhusk, ear weight without cornhusk and productivity. Sweet Boy is higher than SD3 for ear length and ear diameter. Genotype SD3 is the same as SG 75 (hybrid variety) in all variables except for vegetative variable, those are plant height and main ear height.

Judul: Telaah Histopatologi Urolithiasis Pada Kucing
Abstrak: Urolithiasis adalah suatu keadaan dimana ditemukannya batu di dalam saluran urinaria. Batu tersebut dibentuk dalam pelvis ginjal dan bergerak turun sepanjang ureter kemudian masuk ke dalam vesika urinaria dan uretra. Penulisan ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari lebih dalam secara histopatologi tentang kasus kematian seekor kucing dengan urolithiasis yang dinekropsi di Laboratorium Patologi FKH-IPB. Pemeriksaan patologi anatomi menemukan adanya fokal atelektasis paru, dilatasi ventrikel kiri jantung, hidrothoraks, hidroasites, ginjal pueat dan batu-batu berbagai ukuran dengan diameter 0,1-0,5 em pada vesika urinaria yang berdarah. Pada pengamatan histopatologi menunjukkan pembendungan semua organ, nephritis interstitialis kronis disertai bentukan mikrokista dan endapan mineral pada lumen tubuli dan sistitis nekrotik disertai pendarahan yang meluas. Pemeriksaan pada organ paru-paru ditemukan lumen alveolus sebagian mengempis dan sebagian lagi meluas. Dinding alveol menebal akibat adanya akumulasi eritrosit. Sedikit koloni bakteri tampak dalam lumen usus, bercampur dengan epitel usus yang terlepas di ujung viii. Hati mengalami pembendungan, ruangan sinusoid tampak meluas. Beberapa megakariosit tampak di dalam pulpa merah yang menunjukkan adanya aktivitas hematopoetis. Organ jantung tidak menunjukkan adanya perubahan histopatologi yang spesifik.
