Judul: Perancangan Primer untuk Pengembangan Sistem Deteksi Berbasis PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) pada Ganoderma spp
Abstrak: Ganoderma spp. has been known a pathogenic fungus for palm oil. The aim of this research was to design specific primers and test it to Ganoderma spp. in order to obtain new detection system base on PCR method. Two pairs of primers were designed successfully; Gan-ITS12 primer derived from ITS region and β-Gan primer derivied from β-tubulin region. This two pairs primers were used to identified DNA from mycellia Ganoderma spp. from two different sample sources i.e IPBCC with code 10.658 (GIPB) and three different of Ganoderma sp. from Lombok (Glom1, Glom2, Glom3). The result indicates both Gan-ITS primer and β-Gan primer can amplify Ganoderma spp. on species and genus level respectively. Specifity of primers were tested to DNA from Basidiomycota group and non-Basidiomycota group. The results showed this two pairs primer can not amplification DNA from Basidiomycota group. But, this primers can amplified non-Basidiomycota groups even with more than one band formed.

Judul: Identifikasi Ganoderma spp. Menggunakan Teknik DNA Barcoding
Abstrak: Oil palm is one of comodity plantation which is very important. One of the problems faced by the oil palm plantations are disease, namely Basal Stem Rot (BSR) which caused by Ganoderma spp. If plants were attacked by BSR, sooner or later, they would die and the production will decreased significantly. Consequently, in order to have an effective control of Ganoderma, an accurate identification is needed. This could be achieved by molecular techniques through DNA Barcoding method. The aim of this study was to is to find a specific primer for the identification of Ganoderma spp. that attack estate crops and their shade trees. Based on this research, it showed that the primer pair ITS1_F/ITS4_B has a high percentage of the ability to identify isolates of Ganoderma spp. compared with the other primer pairs, which are primer BenA F/ BenA_R, Gan_ITS1_F/Gan_ITS1_R, CO1_PenF1/CO1_PenR1, CO1_B_F/ CO1_B_R, and Gan_ITS2_F/Gan_ITS2_R. The primer pair ITS1_F/ITS4_B had a potential as a DNA barcode for identification of Ganoderma species.

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.
