Judul: Penurunan nilai albedo dan suhu permukaan dari data Terra MODIS L1B untuk klasifikasi awan
Abstrak: Clouds affect the energy balance in atmosphere through absorbtion, reflection and solar radiation process. These processes affect albedo values and the cloud surface temperature. The differences between albedo values and surface temperature can be the indicator in cloud classification and can be the separation between the cloud covered area and non-cloud covered area. Terra MODIS L1B data can be used for classifying between cloud and non-cloud using reflectant information at wavelength 0.62 μm to 0.67 μm, 0.459 μm to 0.479 μm, and 0.545 μm to 0.565 μm and the extraction of surface temperature using wavelenght 10.780 μm to 11.280 μm dan 11.770 μm to 12.270 μm. Yet, before the classification process, it is needed to look at the response of each wave lenght to the same object at the same location. Cloud‟s surface temperature can be derived from canal 31 and canal 32. The error values of both canal are 1.7 K on Januari 1st 2008, 3.3 K on March 26st 2008, 1.7 K on November 2st 2008, 5.6 K on April 6st 2008, and 12.8 K on September 24st 2008. Albedo value can be derived from band 1, band 3, band 4 since the values distribution pattern of all these canal are relatively in common. The results of the relation between reflectance bands and thermal bands show that the albedo approach method and surface temperature approach method can be used for clouds classification. The classification using albedo approach method is the based on the thickness of the clouds, while the surface temperature approach method is based on the height of clouds.

Judul: Pendugaan Nilai Suhu Permukaan Berdasarkan Data Terra-MODIS L1B dan SRTM 90m
Abstrak: Land Surface Temperature (LST) is one of the best indicators of the energy balance at the earth's surface and a key parameter in the physics of land surface processes that combine the interaction between long wave energy flux at the surface and in the atmosphere. Several methods for determining the value of LST with remote sensing data have been widely developed one of which is the use of Terra-MODIS satellite. MODIS has a mission to monitor the phenomenon on the surface and the atmosphere so that users can find information changes that occur in near-realtime. The purpose of this study is develop methods and algorithms using satellite remote sensing Terra-MODIS data for prediction and mapping LST and determine the relationship of surface temperature derived from Terra-MODIS satellite data with surface topography and land cover. LST determination was done by using the split window algorithm by including the main factors such as emissivity and brightness temperature. The results showed that average of the highest LST that the Vidal algorithm. The relationship between LST and altitude be obtained average of the highest R2 is in June/July whereas the lowest is in September/October. Further, the relationship between LST and land cover be obtained average of the highest LST value is on open land and built land whereas average of the lowest value is forest land. Solar zenith angle is greatly affect sensor accuracy to determination LST value

Judul: Study on Over Expression of Gene Encoding Growth Hormone by Sperm Electroporation to Produce Transgenic Fast-Growing Stripped Catfish. Under direction
Abstrak: Stripped catfish (Pangasionodon hypophthalmus) is one of freshwater fish species that has high economic value in Indonesia. Limited attention has been paid to increase the growth of stripped catfish towards enhancement of its aquaculture productivity. In this research, we developed transgenesis technology to produce stripped catfish transgenic F0 as a material to obtain stable line transgenic fish with an improved growth rate character. Research was conducted in some steps: cloning and characterization of gene encoding stripped catfish growth hormone (PhGH), making of all–fish gene construction which consist of PhGH cDNA (complementary DNA) directed by carp β-actin promoter (pCcBA), developing electroporation technique using sperm mediated gene transfer (SMGT) and screening stripped catfish juvenile which carrying PhGH exogenous gene by PCR and RT-PCR methods. Complementary DNA encoding PhGH was isolated from pituitary by RT-PCR method. The size of PhGH cDNA was 1148 bp which consisted of 603 bp of ORF (open reading frame) and encoded 200 amino acid residues. PhGH gene has common characteristic like others teleost GH gene. To make all-fish gene construction of pCcBA-PhGH, PhGH cDNA was ligated with carp β-actin promoter (pCcBA). The size of pCcBA-PhGH construction was 6.6 kb. Increasing in electric field strength on sperm electroporation caused a decrease in sperm motility and embryos hatchling. Higher sperm motility and embryos hatchling were obtained at the electric field strength of 125 V/cm. Increasing concentrations of plasmid DNA caused an increase in the number of individuals carrying the exogenous PhGH gene. Electroporation using plasmid DNA concentration of 90 μg/ml effectively produced transgenic F0. Further, ectopic expression of exogenous PhGH in transgenic fish F0 at 2 months old increased 19-22.6% of their body weight compared to non-transgenic. Average body weight of 4 months juvenile treated with 90 μg/ml of DNA plasmid was 53.38% heavier than control. Therefore, stripped catfish growth rate could be increased by over expression of gene encoding growth hormone. Then, followed by stable transgenic stripped catfish generation, their culture production suggested to be increased significantly.
