Judul: Metode Neraca Energi Untuk Perhitungan Radiasi Transmisi Menggunakan Data Citra Landsat ETM+
Abstrak: Radiation transmission is needed for forest vegetation especially for the ecosystem under canopies. Quantity of radiation which could reach into the surface of forest influences chemical, physical, and physiological processes of plants like photosynthesis, transpiration, and respiration. The object of this study is analyzing factors that effect magnitude of radiation transmission in some land covers using Landsat ETM+ images and mapping distribution of radiation transmission. The image was classified into three land covers of vegetation. Those are natural forest, planted forest and shrub. Information of surface temperature was extracted from band 6 (wavelength : 10.40-12.50μm); component of surface energy was extracted from band 1 (0.45-0.52 μm), band 2 (0.52-0.60 μm), and band 3 (0.63-0.69 μm); and calculated absorbtion and reflection of radiation to estimate radiation transmission. Radiation transmission of natural forest in 2000 is 257 Wm-2, planted forest is 247 Wm-2, and shrubs is 231 Wm-2. While in 2001, radiation transmission of natural forest is 129 Wm-2, planted forest is 112 Wm-2, and shrubs is 104 Wm-2. Radiation transmission in 2000 was higher than in 2001 because of differences of zenith angle and distance of the sun to the earth in both of satellite data that used.

Judul: Penyusunan Metode untuk Menduga Nilai Radiasi Absorbsi dengan Menggunakan Citra Landsat TM/ETM+ (Studi Kasus Hutan Gunung Walat Sukabumi)
Abstrak: The purpose of this study is to predict the short-wave radiation values which is absorbed by using Landsat ETM + satellite imagery and software Gap Light Analyzer (GLA). Equilibrium radiation at the forest vegetation is ρ + τ + α = 1, where α is the proportion of solar radiation flux density absorbed by unit leaf area index, ρ is the proportion of flux density solar radiation reflected by a unit of leaf area index or canopy, and τ is proportion of solar radiation flux density transmitted by the unit leaf area index (Impron, 1999). The amount of transmission and reflection depending on the angle of solar radiation (Monteith, 1972). Radiation values components in Walat Mount Forest is short wave radiation value of 48 Wm-2, the transmission value is obtained by using the formula ρ + τ + α = 100% value of 89 Wm-2, and transmission value using the GLA is 100 Wm-2. Radiation absorption value in Walat Mountain is obtained using two methods, the first method is obtained using Kirchoff law approach of radiation absorption which value of 388 Wm-2 and the second is using the GLA which value of 377 Wm-2.

Judul: Karakteristik Anatomi Skelet Tubuh Buaya Senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii)
Abstrak: Buaya senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii) merupakan buaya besar yang rentan punah dan hanya dapat ditemukan di rawa dataran rendah, danau dan sungai di Sumatera bagian timur, Kalimantan dan Jawa Barat (Indonesia), Serawak, Semenanjung Malaysia (Malaysia) serta Brunei Darussalam. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mempelajari karakteristik anatomi skelet tubuh buaya senyulong yang dikaitkan dengan fungsi dan perilakunya. Penelitian ini menggunakan satu set preparat skelet tubuh buaya senyulong. Parameter penelitian meliputi pengamatan bentuk bagian skelet yang khas, mengukur panjang dan lebar tulang, serta dibandingkan dengan skelet tubuh jenis buaya lain, biawak air (Varanus salvator) maupun literatur yang terkait dengan sistem skelet tubuh hewan. Karakteristik anatomi skelet tubuh buaya senyulong relatif mirip pada jenis buaya lain. Beberapa karakteristik yang ditemukan yaitu, proatlas pada os atlas, os axis hanya memiliki zygapophysis caudalis, bagian lateral dari ossa vertebrae cervicales yang dilengkapi dengan cervical ribs, memiliki jumlah costae sternalis yang banyak, rangkaian ossa gastralia pada abdomen, ossa vertebrae lumbales memiliki zygapophysis cranialis dengan sudut >90o dari sumbu tubuh. Selain itu, os vertebrae caudalis I memiliki caput cranial dan caudal, ossa vertebrae caudales memiliki processus transversus yang semakin memendek ke arah caudal. Di medioventral tulang ini ditemukan ossa chevron dengan hemal arch sampai menjelang akhir ossa vertebrae caudalis. Skelet tubuh buaya senyulong memiliki hubungan yang kokoh dan kompak untuk menunjang fleksibilitas tubuh untuk berjalan, berenang dan berburu mangsa
