Judul: Pertambahan bobot badan dan mortalitas cacing tanah Lumbricus rubellus yang mendapat pakan sisa makanan warung
Abstrak: Earthworm was detrivor animal could solve odor problem of organic waste, decreasing the organic waste and it's metabolic worth for fertilizer. The aims of this study were obtained earthworm's body weight gain and mortality in different level of treatment. The study was held from September 20th until 8th December 2005 at Non Ruminants and Prospective Animal Division, Department of Animal Production and Technology, Faculty of Animal Science, Bogor Agricultural University. The experiment used Complete Randomized Design in four feeding level treatments consists of 1; 1.25; 1.5; 1.75 body weight earthworms. Each treatment had five replications which contained 2.3 grams earthworm aged two weeks old, length 3.25 cm. Observed variables were body weight, body weight gain and mortality. Data were analyze using ANOVA and tested using Polynomial Orthogonal to examine the differences among treatments. The results showed that feed levels affected the body weight gain but not the earthworm's mortality. Elevation feed increased body weight gain of earthworm but the treatment could accumulation of oil on bedding. Oil accumulation in bedding appear as uncomforted environtment to earthworms, thus the body weight gain reduce until negative value. Food restaurant waste can be used as earthwarm's meal but the bedding must be in large supply. Keywords: Lurnbricus rubellus, food restaurant waste, body weight gain, mortality

Judul: Productivity of Earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus) in Mixed Media of Cow Manure and Chicken Manure with Different Levels
Abstrak: Cacing tanah atau jenis Lumbricus rubellus tergolong dalam kelompok avertebrata atau tidak bertulang belakang yang memiliki potensi dan banyak manfaat serta mudah dibudidayaka dengan menggunakan media kotoran ternak. Tujuan penelitian ini menganalisis produktivitas cacing tanah (Lumbricus rubellus) dalam media campuran kotoran sapi dan kotoran ayam dengan taraf yang berbeda. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 6 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan dengan uji lanjut Duncan. Media yang digunakan kotoran sapi dengan penambahan kotoran ayam IPB-D1 dengan taraf berbeda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penggunaan kotoran sapi dengan penambahan kotoran ayam IPB-D1 berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap produktivitas cacing tanah. Penggunaan kotoran sapi sebanyak 95% dengan penambahan kotoran ayam sebanyak 5% berpengaruh nyata dan dapat meningkatkan jumlah populasi cacing tanah (Lumbricus rubellus) sebanyak 285,67 g dan penyusutan media sebesar 164,17 g. Penggunaan kotoran sapi sebanyak 85% dengan penambahan kotoran ayam sebanyak 15% dapat meningkatkan bobot cacing tanah sebesar 17,09 g dan produksi kokon sebanyak 155,58 butir. Pencampuran kotoran ayam pada kotoran sapi sebanyak ≤15% baik untuk produktivitas cacing Lumbricus rubellus, sebaliknya >15% menurunkan produktivitas cacing tanah., Earthworms or type Lumbricus rubellus belong to the group of invertebrates or not vertebrates that have the potential and many benefits and are easily cultivated using livestock manure media. The purpose of this study was to analyze the productivity of earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus) in mixed media of cow manure and chicken manure with different levels. This study used a complete randomized design (RAL) with 6 treatments and 3 replications with Duncan's further test. Media used cow manure with the addition of chicken manure IPB-D1 with different levels. The results showed the use of cow dung with chicken manure addition IPB-D1 significant effect (P<0.05) on productivity of earthworms. The use of cow manure as much as 95% with the addition of chicken manure as much as 5% effect and could increase population of earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus) as much as 285.67 g and shrinkage of the media by 164.17 g. The use of 85% cow manure with the addition of 15% chicken manure could increase the weight of earthworms by 17.09 g and cocoon production by 155.58 grains. The use of cow manure with the addition of chicken manure exceeds 15% could actually reduce the productivity of earthworms Lumbricus rubellus.

Judul: Penentuan Nilai Eigen dan Vektor Eigen dari Matriks Tridiagonal 2-Toeplitz dengan Pendekatan Polinomial Chebyshev
Abstrak: The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix can be determined by finding its characteristic polynomials. The characteristic polynomials of a tridiagonal 2-Toeplitz matrix is shown to be closely connected to polynomials which satisfy the Chebyshev recurrence relationship. If the order of the matrix is odd, then the eigenvalues are found explicitly in terms of the Chebyshev zeros and the eigenvectors are found in terms of the polynomials satisfying the recurrence relationship. For even ordered matrices, the situation is more complicated. The problem in these cases is that although the Chebyshev recurrence formula is still applied, its initial values are not generating Chebyshev polynomials
