Judul: Screening of soybean genatypes tolerance to aluminum toxicity and drought stress, and their responses to vesicular-arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi
Abstrak: Study was conducted at Cikabayan Experimental Station of Bogor Agricultural University from February 2003 to February 2004. The objective of the study were to screen soybean genotypes tolerance to Al toxicity and drought stress, and explore its responses to vesicular-arbuscular mycorrW (VAM) fungi. Three studies, namely 1) testing of rmt growth, 2) screening of soybean genotypes tolerance to A1 toxicity and drought stress, and 3) testing of soybean responses to VAM h g r , were evaluated. Results of the study showed that soybean genotypes of Moket, B.3799, Malabar, Wiiis, Sindoro, and Slamet were tolerant while Dieng, Sinyonya, B.3780, Sicinang, B.3578, Ceneng, Epyek, MLG.3072, and Tidar were s w b l e to Al toxicity and drought stress. Increasing of soybean tolerance to A1 toxicity and drought stress was characterized by increasing of root Iength, root dry weight, shoot dry weight, proline level, and N, P, and Ca status of plant tissue. Symbioses of soybean with VAM fungi increased soybean adaptation to A1 toxicity and drought stress as shown by increasing level of root dry weight, N, P, and Ca status, and P uptake, but did not increase yield. The greatest effect of VAM occurred at 75% A1 saturation index and soil water content of 40% field capacity. Wilis was the most adapted genotype to Al toxicity and drought stress, and the most responses genotype to VAM fungi among mybean genotypes screened., Penelitian ini dilaksanakan untuk menyeleksi kedelai yang toleran terhadap cekaman Al dan kekeringan serta tanggapnya terhadap pemberian mikoriza vesicular arbuskular (MVA), yang bertempat di Kebun Percobaan Cikabayan, Institut Pertanian Bogor, mulai bulan Februari 2003 sampai Februari 2004.

Judul: Hamiltonian formulation for linear waves motion in two layers fluid
Abstrak: The surface wave could be considered as a wave that separates two fluids, namely water and air. Based on this assumption, it is introduced the interfacial wave, a wave between two layers of fluid with different density. The formulation of interfacial waves motion begins with deriving the base equation of irrotational ideal fluid. Furthermore, according to irrotational fluid assumption, the base equation can be stated in velocity potential. In this derivation, the fluids domain is assumed to be restricted by rigid lid boundary conditions, both at the upper and lower limit. Therefore, the interfacial waves motion can be explained in a hamiltonian formulation. In the hamiltonian formulation, total energy is defined as the sum of kinetic and potential energy. The hamiltonian system is obtained from reduction of kinetic energy by using the Dirichlet Neumann Operator. The resulted kinetic energy equation is nonlinear. Therefore, this form is linearized by first part of the Taylor expansion. This linearization gives a dispersion relation of linear wave. Based on this dispersion relation, the phase speed of the linear wave depends on the density ratio of the two layers fluid.
