Judul: Karakteristik Fisik Wol Domba Batur dan Domba Garut
Abstrak: Batur sheep produce medium wool, while garut sheep produce coarse wool. Knowledge about wool physical characteristics of both breeds are important due to the potential background for utilization to certain product. The aims of this research were to indentify and compare wool physical characteristics of batur sheep (WB) and garut sheep (WG). The variables observed including bundle tenacity, elongation, flammability, sound and thermal insulation properties. The comparison data of sound and thermal insulation ability between board (P), board + batur sheep wool (PWB), and board + garut sheep wool (PWG) were designed by Completely randomized design (CRD) and analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) as well as the comparison data of flammability between WB, WG, P and nylon. The other data were analyzed by T-test. The result showed that WB and WG had no significant difference on their tenacity, resilient, and flammability (P > 0.05). PWB and PWG had better sound and thermal insulation ability more than P. Wol had flammability better than P and nylon

Judul: Persentase Rendemen Berat Wol Domba Garut dan Domba Batur Selama Proses Pengolahan serta Kualitas Benang yang Dihasilkan
Abstrak: The wool of local sheep is still a by-product that can be used for some craft products. The aims of this research were to study the wool weight yield during the processing and to know quality of the wool yarn. Parameters were consisted of wool weight yield percentage during sorting I, washing, sorting II, carding and during spinning, and the quality of yarn, i.e, strength and elongation of the yarn. This research used the T-test analysis. There were 5 repetitions for observed wool weight yield during the process; 2 repetitions for strength and elongation of the wool yarn from garut sheep; and 5 repetitions for strength and elongation of the wool yarn from batur sheep. The results showed that percentage of wool weight yield from garut and batur sheep was not significantly different, except for the yield in spin stage that tended to be different. The yarn quality was statistically similar between two types of wool, but for the elongation they tended to be different. Sheep breed difference was not significant on wool weight yield and yarn quality. It is concluded that wool of garut sheep can be processed to make yarn, as same as wool of batur sheep.

Judul: The Dynamic of HIV Virus Infection as a Result of Protease Inhibitor Therapy.
Abstrak: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is defined as symptoms of deterioration human immune system caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The virus damages the leucocytes; therefore, once a person infected by the HIV, his/her immune system will be paralyzed and eventually will not be able to survive from any disease. HIV is transmitted in many ways, such as having unsafe sex, using unsterilized syringe, blood transfusion, and many more. So far, there has not been discovered yet a way or a medicine that can totally cure this disease. However, reverse transcriptase inhibitor therapy, protease inhibitor, or combination of those two can decline the growth of virus inside the body of the infected person. Therefore, the immune system will be enhanced back to normal phase. In this paper, will analyze the effect of protease inhibitor therapy on the dynamics of virus inside the blood with different value of effectiveness. There are two mathematical models of protease inhibitor therapy to consider, i.e. perfect and imperfect protease inhibitor. The perfect protease inhibitor therapy hinders the virus to grow well and not to infect healthy leucocytes. On the other hand, the imperfect one cannot completely detained the virus growth.
