Judul: Pengaruh Angin Permukaan Terhadap Fluktuasi Curah Hujan Di Beberapa Wilayah Indonesia
Abstrak: Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara kepulauan yang sangat rentan terhadap perubahan iklim termasuk fluktuasi curah hujan. Interaksi pengaruh angin permukaan terhadap curah hujan di analisa menggunakan statistica7 yaitu anilisis spektral dan spektral silang. Berdasarkan penelitian ini untuk wilayah Lampung, Sumbawa Besar, Banjar Baru, dan Indramayu menunjukkan tipe pola hujan monsunal, sedangkan wilayah Pontianak menunjukkan tipe pola hujan ekuatorial. Pada tipe monsunal memiliki osilasi 12 bulan, sedangkan tipe ekuatorial memiliki osilasi 6 bulanan. Hubungan antara angin permukaan terhadap curah hujan pada wilayah Lampung, Sumbawa Besar, Banjar Baru, Indramayu, dan Pontianak menunjukkan hubungan yang berbanding lurus. Perlu adanya hubungan dengan fenomena-fenomena global untuk mengetahui pengaruhnya terhadap curah hujan monsoon.

Judul: Rainfall Behavior in some Area Over Indonesia When Monsoon and Dipole Mode Phenomenon have Interaction
Abstrak: Penelitian ini didasarkan pada Monsun sebagai salah satu fenomena iklim regional. Selain itu Indian Ocean Dipole merupakan fenomena couple antara atmosfer dan laut yang memiliki peran penting dalam variabilitas curah hujan di Indonesia. Menurut itu, studi ini dilakukan dengan asumsi ketika Monsun dan IOD berinteraksi. Kajian wilayah studi curah hujan meliputi Lampung, Pontianak, Indramayu dan Banjar Baru untuk periode Januari 1998 – Agustus 2010 dengan menggunakan data TRMM 3B43. Data indeks monsun yang digunakan adalah ISMI (Indian Summer Monsoon Index), WNPMI (Western North Pacific Monsoon Index) dan AUSMI (Australian Monsoon Index). Hasil Power Spektral Density (PSD) dan Analisis Wavelet pada anomali curah hujan dan data indeks monsun menunjukkan pola osilasi dominan 12 bulanan dimana curah hujan dan sinyal monsun yang kuat. Sedangkan pola osilasi dominan IOD sekitar 38 bulan. Hasil analisis regresi menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara anomali curah hujan dengan data AUSMI. Oleh karena itu, AUSMI dan IOD dapat digunakan untuk menganalisis varibialitas curah hujan di Indonesia. Dalam studi ini, model prediksi fenomena interkoneksi antara AUSMI dan IOD dikembangkan dengan menggunakan metode regresi multivariat dengan model awal masing-masing wilayah kajian Lampung Yt = 0.153Xt + 0.066Xt-1 + 0.021Xt-2 + 0.79901, Pontianak Yt = 0.053Xt-1 + 0.011Xt-2 – 0.076Xt-3 + 1.33557, Banjarbaru Yt = 0.108Xt + 0.098Xt-1 – 0.006Xt-2 + 1.10343, dan Indramayu Yt = 0.162Xt + 0.122Xt-1 – 0.004Xt-2 + 0.94325. Metode Box-Jenkins berdasarkan ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) digunakan untuk prediksi data deret waktu anomali curah hujan untuk Lampung adalah ARMA (2,2)4 dengan pesamaan Zt = -0,0245Zt-12 - 0,9711Zt-24 + at -0,0013at-12 + 0,8560at-24. Model prediksi untuk Pontianak adalah ARMA (2,2)12 dengan Zt = 0.0319Zt-12 + 0.96171Zt-24 + at + 0.0388at -12 + 0.8428at-24, Banjar baru adalah ARMA (1,1)12 dengan Zt = 0.9967Zt-12 + at + 0.8967at-12, dan Indramayu adalah ARMA (1,1)12 with Zt = -1,0037Zt-12 + at + 0,9363at-12 Berdasarkan dari nilai koefisien korelasi, Lampung dan Indramayu memiliki model prediksi curah hujan yang baik.

Judul: Development of DNA Vaccine Encoding Glycoprotein of Koi Herpes Virus Using Local Isolate.
Abstrak: The aim of this research was to develop DNA vaccine of Koi Herpesvirus in carp. Glycoprotein gene originated from ORF 25 KHV virus that is 1.8 kbp in size, is a potential gene in DNA vaccine construction. The sequencing and similarity analysis of the gene using BLAST software showed that this gene is a GP25 gene and was found to be very similar (99%) to GP25 of KHV virus from the USA and Israel. When this GP25 gene was ligated with pGEMT Easy (pT, 3 kbp in size) vector, plasmid size was increasing up to 5 kb. Following this, a digestion of pT-GP25 plasmid using Sal I enzyme was applied resulted in a GP25 fragment (1.8 kbp). Subsequently, pAct-D6 with a size of 8.5 kbp was also cut using the same enzyme to eleminate a D6 gene with a size of 1.6 kbp. GP25 gene was then ligated with pAct resulted a pAct-GP25 plasmid with a size of 8.8 kbp. As there was only one restriction site applied, ligation can be occurred in two different directions. Thus, in order to determine the plasmid with the desired direction PCR analysis was carried out, and plasmid with the right direction was the one that sized approximately 2.1 kbp (no. 6, 17 and 20). High level of GFP gene expression was detected in all tissues analyzed, i.e. kidney, gil, spleen, and muscle 24 hours after injection which indicated that β-actin promoter of Japanese medaka could be active in common carp. Although not as high as on 24 hours, expression was still detected until day 7 and disappeared after day 28 post injection indicating that pAct-GFP can be remained and β-actin promoter of Japanese medaka can be active in muscle, gills and kidney at least a week after injection. The result of RT-PCR analysis on pAct-GP25 injected common carp showed that GP25 gene expression can be detected 14 days after injection in all tissues observed. The expression level differences between GFP and GP25 genes possibly related to the primer sensitivity on annealing process to cDNA template and the size of PCR targeted DNA fragment, as smaller PCR targeted product will be easier to be amplified than a bigger one. The length of PCR targeted DNA with GP25 primer was 1.8 kbp whereas GFP gene was 0.6 kbp.The challenge test on common carp results showed that all unvaccinated and negative control (not infected with KHV) was alive until the end of the experiment. Whereas, the survival of fish vaccinated with a dose of 12.5 was ranged from 60.9 and 96.7%. In relation to the activity of β-actin promoter that was used in this DNA vaccine, gene expression was occured 24 hours after vaccination and remained until 2 weeks. The control fish that was not injected by GP25 showed no GP25 expression either in the observed tissues or organs and resulted in a lower survival, i.e. 23.3%. The challenge test results has indicated that the fish vaccinated with GP25 at doses of 7.5 and 12.5 μg/100μL were able to produce KHV glycoprotein in their body which would be
