Judul: Pertumbuhan dan produksi daun Torbangun (Plectranthus amboinicus Spreng.) dengan pemupukan organik dan pemangkasan
Abstrak: Tanaman torbangun berkhasiat untuk memperlancar air susu ibu (ASI) karena mengandung laktagogen. Penelitian mengenai tanaman torbangun lebih banyak di bidang farmakologinya saja, oleh sebab itu perlu adanya penelitian di bidang teknik budi daya dengan menggunakan pupuk organik dan pemangkasan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan pengaruh pupuk organik dan pemangkasan terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi daun torbangun. Rancangan penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok (RAK) pada siklus 1 dengan faktor pemupukan, dan rancangan perlakuan Split plot pada siklus 2 dengan pemupukan sebagai petak utama dan pemangkasan sebagai anak petak. Rataan hasil pada masing-masing siklus diuji lanjut menggunakan uji beda nyata jujur (BNJ). Pemupukan organik terbagi menjadi 5 taraf; tanpa pemupukan, pupuk kandang sapi+fosfat alam, pupuk kandang sapi+abu sekam padi, fosfat alam+abu sekam padi, dan pupuk kandang sapi+fosfat alam+abu sekam padi. Pemangkasan terbagi menjadi 2 taraf; tanpa dipangkas dan dipangkas. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pemupukan yang menggunakan pupuk kandang sapi+fosfat alam+abu sekam padi dapat meningkatkan bobot basah pucuk 125.21% dibandingkan dengan perlakuan tanpa pemupukan. Pemangkasan menurunkan biomasa tanaman dan jumlah daun. Pertumbuhan tanaman torbangun termasuk lambat, sehingga pemanenan harus dilakukan pada umur tanaman yang lebih lama.

Judul: Pengaruh Pupuk dan Interval Defoliasi terhadap Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Tanaman Torbangun (Coleus amboinicus Lour)
Abstrak: This research was conducted to measure the growth and the production of torbangun. The factors are defoliation rate and organic fertilizer . Defoliation was treated in two levels : once per 6 weeks (D1) and once per 9 weeks (D2). Fertilizer treatments were 100% broiler manure fertilizer (PK 3), 75% broiler manure fertilizer with PSB (Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria) & AMF (Arbuscula Mycorrhizal Fungi) (PK 2), and 50% broiler manure fertilizer with PSB & AMF (PK 1). Each treatment was replicated for 6 times in 18 weeks. The first defoliation was conducted three times while the second defoliation was conducted twice. The measured variables are leaves amount, canopy height, leaf width, fresh weight of leaves, dried weight of leaves. The results showed that the interaction between PK 3 and D1 had the best effect in the increase of leaves amount. PK 3 and PK 2, individually, gave a good impact to the increase of canopy height. The other results showed that PK 2 gave the best impact to dried leaves weight (p<0.05)

Judul: Construction of Strongly Optimal Binary Linear Code with Minimum Distance 9 and 11
Abstrak: A binary linear code of length n over q F is a subspace of n q F . A code has three parameters that attached to it, namely length, dimension, and minimum distance. A code with length n, dimension k and minimum distance d is often called [n, k, d ]-code. Usually, when two parameters are given, then we want to find a code that has the best value for the last parameter. Based on Gilbert- Varshamov bound, if a [n, k, d ]-code exists and can not be expanded, we call it a strongly optimal code. In this paper, we construct strongly optimal code with minimum distance 9 and 11. In constructing the code, we created a theorem and algorithm based on Gilbert-Varshamov bound before we implement the algorithm to MAPLE programming language. Because of computational limitations, the program can only construct up to k = 10 for d = 9 and k = 12 for d = 11.
