Abstrak: This research aims to create allometric equation models to estimate the biomass of tropical natural forests in eastern Indonesia. Allometric equation models made by destructive methods and using purposive sampling method to take 30 sampling trees. Best equation model to estimate tree biomass of this research consists of biomass tree parts model and total tree biomass model. Models to estimate the biomass of the tree parts such as W = 0.0245 D2,23 Tt0,74 to estimate the stem biomass, W = 0,0003 D3,91 Tbc-0,66 for the branch biomass, W = 0,054783 D2,42 Tt-0,63 for twigs biomass, and W = 0,0513 D1,62 for leaf biomass. The best model to estimate the total biomass is W = 0,0655 D2,52Tbc0,23 where W is biomass, D is diameter at breast height (cm), Tbc (clear bole), and Tt is the total height of the tree. This models have R2(adj) of 78,31 – 97,75% and the deviation (s) of 0,1337 – 0,3201.

Judul: Persamaan Alometrik Biomassa dan Massa Karbon Akar Pohon Hutan Alam Tropika di Areal IUPHHK-HA PT. Suka Jaya Makmur, Kabupaten Ketapang, Provinsi Kalimantan Barat.
Abstrak: Main factor which is considered of global warming is increasing concertration of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in the atmosphere. Plants have the ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere into useful energy through the process of photosynthesis. This process produces the O2 and energy, and some of the energy stored in the form of biomass. Natural tropical forest is one of the forest type that can absorb CO2 well, so its potential to savings carbon. The goal of this research is to get the allometric equation and tree roots of biomass and carbon mass of natural tropical forest in IUPHHK-HA PT Suka Jaya Makmur areas. Selection of sample trees on each class has been done by a purposive sampling and carbon content analysis of sample materials are conducted in the laboratory of wood chemistry in the totally of forestry, IPB. The best equation of allometric was selected based on the highest R2(adj) and the smallest standard deviation (s). Allometric equation model of tree roots biomass allometric relationship with root diameter, trees highest, and biomass of roots of the tree above the ground are as follows : BA = 0,0162 D2,55, BA = 0,0398 D3,39 T-1,24, BA = 0,1510 BB1,14, BA = 0,9397 BC1,10, BA = 2,5351 BD1,11, BA = 0,0691 BT1,14. Allometric equation model of tree roots carbon mass with diameter, tree height and with carbon mass of tree above ground are as follows : CA = 0,0089 D2,58, CA = 0,0229 D3,47 T-1,31, C = 0,1545 CB1,08, CA = 0,9440 CC1,12, CA = 2,5704 CD1,14, CA = 0,0741 CT1,14. T-student test results of tree roots carbon mass equations of tree roots carbon mass with the mass carbon of parts of the tree above the ground, and equations of tree roots carbon mass with diameter and height of the tree, shows that the results are not different.

Judul: Akupuntur pada Kasus Konstipasi Kucing Persia.
Abstrak: Seekor kucing betina ras persia bernama Lucy telah mengalami konstipasi yang berulang kali sehingga terjadi kronis. Terapi akupuntur digunakan sebagai pengobatan alternatif dalam studi kasus ini dengan tujuan meningkatkan motilitas gastrointestinal. Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek akupuntur pada kasus konstipasi di kucing Lucy. Terapi akupuntur dilakukan dengan menggunakan dry neddle pada titik BL-21, BL-25, CV-4, CV-6, CV-12, GV-1, ST-25, dan ST-36. Terapi dilaksanakan selama 15 menit setiap terapi dan dilakukan seminggu 3 kali sampai terjadi perkembangan persembuhan. Berdasarkan hasil pemeriksaan fisik dan pemeriksaan penunjang radiografi, terdapat penumpukan feses yang banyak dari kolon hingga rektum. Kucing dapat defekasi dengan lancar setelah terapi ke-3 dan kondisi kucing yang awalnya buruk semakin membaik.
