Judul: Studi Pengemasan dan Penyimpanan Apel CV. Anna (Malus sylvestris) dengan sistem Atmosfer Termodifikasi
Abstrak: Usaha menunda kematangan dan memperpanjang masa simpan buah apel dirasakan amat penting saat ini. Ini dikarenakan potensi pengembangan produksi buah apel yang cukup baik di Indonesia dan apel sendiri tergolong buah yang cukup digemari di segala lapisan masyarakat . Oleh karena itu, ketersediaan buah apel segar di pasaran yang kontinu tanpa tergantung musim akan terasa manfaatnya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membandingkan efektivitas berbagai cara pada sistem atmosfir termodifikasi pada penyimpanan dan pengemasan sehingga didapat cara yang paling tepat untuk buah apel cv. Anna. Penelitian ddilaksanakan di Laboratorium Sub Balai Penelitian Hortikultura, Pasar Minggu, Jakarta, selama bulan November 1992 hingga Januari 1993.

Judul: Distribution and Diversity of Ectoparasite Mites on Geckos in Indonesia
Abstrak: Data on the diversity and dispersal of parasitic mites on house geckos in Indonesia are very scarce. In this work, the distribution and diversity of mites living on three species of house geckos, namely Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, and H. garnotii collected throughout Indonesia, has been elaborated. Geckos and mites were captured and immediately preserved in 70% ethanol. Whole mount of the mites was prepared by clearing in lactophenol followed by mounting on polyvinyl lactophenol solutions. The SEM preparation was conducted to examine the detail morphological characters of the mites. The results showed that among 448 individuals of geckos, 221 geckos were infected by Geckobia mites. Prevalences of C. platyurus, H. frenatus, and H. garnotii infested by mites were 14.8%, 50.69%, and 79.6%, respectively. Three different spesies of Geckobia (G1, G2, and G3) could be differentiated; and based on similarities of their morphological characters to ones described in published literatures, Geckobia G2 is Geckobia glebosum and Geckobia G3 is Geckobia bataviensis while G1 could not be identified to the species level. The highest mean intensity of Geckobia G1 infestation was found on H. garnotii (I=7.0), G. glebosum infestation on H. frenatus (I=3.5), and G. bataviensis infestation on H. garnotii (I=11.8). In general, C. platyurus was infested by the least number of mites. Geckobia G1 were found living on the skin folds on the claws, G. glebosum were found mainly on the body and thigh, and G. bataviensis were found on almost all parts of the host’s body. Geckobia mites are distributed randomly throughout Indonesian Archipelago, following the pattern of distribution of their hosts. So it is concluded that Geckobia G1, G. glebosum, and G. bataviensis are sympatric.
