Judul: Keanekaragaman dan kelimpahan artropoda pada pertanaman bawang daun dan wortel yang ditanam secara monokultur dan tumpangsari
Abstrak: Green onion is a seasonal crop with ecological conditions that are frequently changed. This makes unstable condition between populations of pests and natural enemies (predators, parasitoids and pathogens). Brief observations in the field found that pest infestations on carrot fields were frequently low. Results of several studies indicated that carrot could attract parasitoids of insect pests. The objective of this research was to study the diversity and abundance of arthropods on green onion and carrot grown in monoculture and intercropping. Experiment with four treatments and four replications was set in randomized complete block design. The treatments were: P1) green onion grown in monoculture; P2) green onion sprayed with carrot leaf extract; P3) green onion and carrot grown in intercropping; and P4) carrot grown in monoculture. Observations of arthropods were conducted by setting pitfall traps and yellow sticky traps weekly. Collected arthropods were identified by using Introduction to The Study of Insects, Insects of Australia, and Hymenoptera of The World. Data were analyzed with Shanon- Wienner index, and analysis of variance by using Minitab 17. The result indicated that the culture system of green onion and carrot did not affect diversity of arthropods for the whole season. The arthropod community on green onion and carrot was dominated by Liriomyza spp. (Diptera: Agromyzidae), ants (Hymenoptera : Formicidae), and Collembola.

Judul: Keanekaragaman dan Parasitisasi Parasitoid pada Pertanaman Sayuran di Bogor
Abstrak: In an agricultural area, agroecosystem could influence diversity and parasitism of parasitoids as natural enemies of insect pests. A survey to learn diversity and rate of parasitism of insect pests by parasitoids had been conducted in several agricultural fields with different criteria, such as farming practice (organic and convensional), species richness of vegetable crops (5-8 sp. and 9-15 sp.) and different crop ages (3, 4 and 5 months), in Bogor from August to October 2012. By making a 50 steps line transect for every field, eggs, larvae and pupa of insect pests were collected monthly, reared in laboratory and incidence of parasitism were calculated. The results showed that there were no significant differences on diversity and rate of parasitism based on three criterias used. However, based on the diversity of vegetable plant species around, the rate of parasitism in field with less plant species diversity (5-8 sp.) was higher than the field with more vegetable plant species diversity (9-15 sp.). These results might be caused by the limited number of samplings conducted and other potential factors such as surrounding habitat, seasonal fluctuation, and complex interactions between species in agroecosystem.

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.
