Judul: Hubungan antara dosis infeksi biologi Ascaridia galli dan produktivitas ayam petelur
Abstrak: Untuk mengetahui hubungan antara dosis infeksi, biologi Ascaridia galli dan produktifitas ayam petelur, telah dilakukan penelitian dengan menggunakan 52 ekor ayam Hy sex brown betina umur 18 minggu. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancanganacak lengkap dengan 10 perlakuan yang masing-masing 5 ulangan (5 ekor ayam). Sembilan perlakuan terdiri dari Sembilan dosis yang berbeda-beda, sedangkan satu perlakuan lain merupakan control tanpa infeksi. Dosis telur infektif Ascaridia galli berupa deret ukur dengan bilangan dasar4. …dst

Judul: Tanggap kebal sel eosinofil pada ayam petelur yang diinfeksi cacing Ascaridia galli
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh infeksi cacing Ascaridia galli terhadap sel eosinofil ayam petelur. Sebanyak 40 ekor ayam petelur jenis ISA BROWN umur 12 minggu dibagi menjadi dua kelompok yang masing-masing berjumlah 20 ekor. Kelompok pertama diinfeksi dengan dosis sebanyak 4000 telur infektif (1) Ascaridia galli dan kelompok kedua tidak diberi perlakuan infeksi (NI). Pengambilan sampel darah dilakukan setiap seminggu sekali dari minggu -0 hingga minggu -15. Penghitungan sel eosinofil yang terdapat dalam darah dilakukan dengan teknik pewarnaan khusus yaitu metoda Hinkelman menggunakan kamar hitung Neubaeur. Jumlah sel cosinofil meningkat tajam dari minggu 0 ke minggu -1(P<0,05) pada kelompok ayam yang diinfeksi. Rataan jumlah sel eosinofil ayam kelompok 1 pada minggu-1 sampai minggu-8 lebih tinggi dari ayam NI (P<0,05). Penurunan rataan sel eosinofil terjadi dari minggu -9 hingga minggu -15 pasca infeksi dan tidak ada perbedaan yang nyata antara kelompok ayam I dengan ayam NI (P>0,05). Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa tanggap kebal sel eosinofil sangat aktif akibat pemberian dosis 4000 telur infektif Ascaridia galli terutama pada fase jaringan.

Judul: Characteristic of Overshooting Top (OT) Based on  Himawari  8  Satellite  as  a  Convective  Cloud  Feature  that  Generates  Extreme Weather in the Java Island Region
Abstrak: Overshooting Top (OT) is a feature at the top of a convective cloud that is associated with extreme weather. Research on OT in tropical Indonesia is still very limited. The existence of geostationary satellites with wide area coverage and fast frequency observations is useful for observing the fast dynamics of the OT life cycle. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the relationship between OT and extreme weather, updraft and thermodynamic conditions of OT when extreme weather occurs, the best objective method for detecting OT in the day time and night time, and the spatiotemporal distribution of OT in the tropical region of Java Island during the 2018-2021 period. Based on visual analysis using visible channel and Himawari 8 sandwich products, 87% of extreme weather events in Java were accompanied by the appearance of OT. It indicates that the presence of the OT pattern is a convection cloud pattern or feature that is closely related to extreme weather events for the Java Island region. The existence of a time lag between the appearance of OT and extreme weather events on Java Island indicates that the OT of convection cloud can be used as a precursor or nowcasting for the appearance of extreme weather. Most of the convective cloud OT features during extreme weather events on Java Island have altitude that were only able to exceed the altitude of the equilibrium level and few were able to exceed the tropopause level of 9 km – 16 km. The difference in atmospheric conditions during extreme weather events on Java Island, which is in the tropics and subtropics, is a strong and unstable convective energy condition characterized by a larger CAPE, as well as unstable KI, LI, SI and TTI values. It is offset by kinematic factors in the form of a weak vertical wind shear (bulk wind shear 0-6 km) and a higher freezing point height. The difference between extreme weather events in the Java Island region and other tropical regions compared to subtropical regions is the strong updraft speed of convection clouds. The IRW Texture COMB algorithm based on the IRW-Texture Gradient modification and the COMB algorithm shows a significant increase in quality for detecting OT and non-OT pixels in Java. Rainy days with rainfall > 50 mm/day are very common in areas with an altitude of > 500 m. On the other hand, the level of convection activity which is indicated by the presence of OT and lightning is significantly reduced in this area. OT of convective clouds appear more frequently during the DJF season and less frequently during the JJA season. OT often appears during the day time and rarely at night time. Most OTs appear in the central part, away from the south and north coasts of Java Island during the day, while OTs that appear near the south and north coasts of Java Island can appear in the morning or afternoon.
