Judul: Bacterial diversity from the spores of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi gigaspora sp. and Glomus sp. and their potential as mycorrhiza helper bacteria
Abstrak: Mycorrhiza Helper Bacteria are bacteria that potentially assist the development of mycorrhiza. This study was aimed to explore the Mycorrhizal Helper Bacteria (MHB) from the spore of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) Gigasprora sp. and Glomus sp. The enzymatic activity (cellulase, protease and pectinase), antagonists with pathogen Sclerotium sp., Rhizoctonia sp., Ganoderma sp. and mycorrhizal stimulation were conducted. The results showed that there were 7 species of bacteria isolated from the spores of Gigaspora sp. and 5 species from the spores of Glomus sp. Of the 12 bacteria, 7 bacteria had the potential to produce the enzymes of hydrolytic cellulase and proteases. Based on in vitro test, there were 4 species of bacteria found to have the ability to inhibit the growth of 3 species of pathogens tested. Eight types of bacteria were found to be capable of stimulating the development of mycorrhizal hyphae. There were 3 isolates of bacteria showed the antagonistic toward pathogenic fungi as well as stimulation of AMF. The bacteria obtained were very potential to be developed as biological agents in improving the quality of soil and plants growth.

Judul: Pemanfaatan Mycorrhizal Helper Bacteria (MHBs) dan Fungi Mikoriza Arbuskula (FMA) untuk Meningkatkan Pertumbuhan Semai Gmelina (Gmelina arborea Roxb.)
Abstrak: INTRODUCTION. Increase in the size of human population causes an ever increasing demand on paper produtcs. Therefore, there is a need to supply wood as raw materials in rapid manner. In relation with this, the Indonesian government has a policy to develop Industrial Plantation Forest (HTI). Gmelina is one of the forest tree species which has good prospect to be developed in Industrial Plantation Forest (HTI). This species is a fast growing species which could grow in various types of soil, and its wood is considerably useful. Development ofHTI in Indonesia is emphasized on critical land. The use of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AM F) is an appropriate solution for promoting plant growth in such condition. In the field, AMF had some constraints in creating symbiosis with host plants, Therefore, in this case, there is a need for bacteria which stimulates the AMF. One such bacteria, is known with the name Mycorrhizal Helper Bacteria (MHBs). MATERIALS AND METHOD. This research used Factorial Completely Randomized Design comprising 16 treatments, 5 replications and 3 units. Inoculation of mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria was conducted when the seedlings were 3 weeks old. Afterwards, observation was conducted for 3 months. For observing the plant's respond toward treatments, the observed parameters were among other things: height, diameter, root biomass, shoot biomass, shoot - root ratio, Index of Seedling Quality, and percentage of mycorrhizal infection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION. Results of Analysis of Variance showed that mycorrhizal treatment had significant effect on parameters of root biomass and percentage of mycorrhizal infection. On the other hand, combined treatments of mycorrhiza and bacteria had significant effect toward parameter of root biomass. Combination of mycorrhiza with isolate BGLo3 gave the highest percentage of mycorrhizal infection, namely 25.49 %. Inoculation of isolate BGLo1 gave the best respond for parameters of height and diameter. Consecutively, the exhibited increases were 32.33 % and 31.25 % as compared with those of control. Combination of mycorrhiza with BGLo3 also exhibited the highest increase as compared with control, in terms of parameters of root biomass and Index of Seedling Quality, namely 2.28 % and 87.89 %. Inoculation ofmycorrhiza without bacteria exhibited the best respond for parameters of shoot - root ratio, namely with increase by 9.23 % as compared to control.

Judul: Teknik penentuan posisi bintang berdasarkan pelat foto overlapping
Abstrak: Bintang adalah salah satu objek langit yang menarik untuk diamati. Untuk itu, pengetahuan tentang posisi bintang sangat diperlukan. Posisi bintang di langit dapat dihitung melalui foto bintang. Fotografi astronomi atau astrometri merupakan ilmu yang mempelajari metode untuk menentukan posisi bendabenda langit seperti bintang berdasarkan pelat foto (Kamp, 1967). Sebuah pelat foto berisi citra bintang-bintang yang sudah diketahui posisinya berdasarkan katalog dan citra bintang-bintang yang belum diketahui posisinya. Posisi bintang yang ada di katalog dinyatakan dengan (a,3). Bintang yang belum diketahui posisinya lebih banyak jumlahnya daripada bintang yang sudah diketahui posisinya. Citra bintang pada pelat foto berupa sebuah titik dalam bentuk tetap. Posisinya pada pelat merupakan hasil pengukuran pada bidang kartesius dan dinyatakan dengan (1;,fl). Hasil pengukuran tersebut kemudian direduksi menjadi koordinat terukur (x,y). Hubungan antara (a,3) dan (x,y) didekati dengan sebuah deret dengan konstanta-konsranta deret merupakan konstanta pelat. Nilai konstanta pelat diperoleh dengan menggabungkan hasil pengukuran posisi bintang pada masing-masing pelat menjadi sebuah persamaan normal (Jefferys, 1963). Hasil akhir dari gugus persamaan normal tersebut dijabarkan dalam bentuk nOlasi matriks partisi dan berupa sebuah sistem persamaan linier Ax = b di mana A adalah matriks jarang, dan x merupakan konstanta pelar yang akan dicari nilainya. Untuk menyelesaikan sistem persamaan linier terse but digunakan metode transformasi given. Konstanta pelat yang sudah diperoleh dengan menyelesaikan sistem persamaan linier di atas, kemudian disubtitusi ke sebuah persamaan untuk memperoleh posisi bintang yang tidak tercantum dalam katalog. .
