Judul: Pendugaan Efek Pendinginan Menggunakan Model Empiris di Ruang Terbuka Hijau Institut Pertanian Bogor.
Abstrak: The cooling effect of small green areas with trees sites of various geometric configurations is the object of this study. It was studied experimentally at 3 different sites in Bogor Agricultural University during the period March-June 2013. An empirical model is developed in this study for predicting the cooling effect inside the sites. The model is based on statistical analysis carried out on 658 experimental observation gathered every 6 am and 2 pm from the 3 sites on calm days. Two factors that explain inside the sites are the partial shades area under the tree canopy and site specific effect. The cooling effect of green space areas on their immediate surrounding at noon was also analyzed. The cooling effect estimated in this study is perceivable up to about 50 m in the streets branching out from the site. The findings show the differences of every site, Graha Widya Wisuda (GWW) site that has most traffic outside the site shows biggest difference between site borders and the point measure in 50 m about -2.60 C.

Judul: Green city model of Bandung Regency West Java
Abstrak: Urban development in Bandung Regency has been responsible for the urban heat island effect and increased of air temperature due to increased CO2 emissions from motor vehicles, human population and industries. Other then these, urban heat island was also caused by increasing built ups and declining green open spaces leading to decreased albedo while in turn raised the air temperature. Urban heat island should be managed through studying the related variables. The purpose of this study was to assess the heat island city and create a green city model. This green city model is expected to be the basis to make policy for green growth based development to create Bandung regency as a green city. The research was conducted by collecting secondary data (socio-economic conditions, number of vehicles, industry, population), and primary data through field’s measurements of micro climate, crowns density, quantities of motor vehicles, direct interviews with residents of Bandung Regency, and analyzing the distribution of air temperature. The results of this research, especially the study of the conditions of heat island effect, indicated that Bandung Regency has experiencing urban heat island effect, where the air temperature in urban centers (27,0 °C) were higher than in rural areas (20,0 °C). The difference between the highest and lowest air temperature was 7 °C. The research also suggested that higher percentage of land built ups would result in lower percentage of green open spaces, thus higher CO2 emissions which would caused an increase of areas with high temperature. Research Area I has the highest percentage (60%) of develop area and the lowest percentage (29%) of green open space and also high CO2 emissions (503,987 tons CO2/year). This causes the region has most extensive area (161.59 ha) with high temperature (air temperature > 27 º C) in comparison with Research Area II and III. Urban heat island problems can be solved by building a green open space. Based on the measurements of micro climate in several types of green open space, it can be concluded that green open spaces including urban forest are very important in overcoming urban heat island, because they can lower the air temperature. Urban forest is known to be more effective in resolving urban heat island issues than any other types of green open spaces. Based on the results of simulations model, green scenarios can be used as a tool to determine alternative policies to address urban heat island issue. Green scenario could hold back the occurrence of ≥30°C air temperature. The temperature would occur on 2054 in Research Area I, after 2058 in Research Area II, and on 2056 in Research Area III. Although the factors which influence heat island had been well managed (using green scenario), nevertheless urban areas which already had high percentage of developed area, low percentage of green open space, and high CO2 emissions, would still generate a condition of ≥30°C air temperature on a faster rate (for example Research Area I).

Judul: Leukemia pada kucing
Abstrak: Leukemia pada kucing adalah suatu penyakit yang sangat patogen, disebabkan oleh sejenis virus. Virus ini dikenal sebagai Feline Leukemia Virus atau FeLV. FeLV ini oleh beberapa ahli dikatakan hanya bersifat ganas pada hewan kucing. Penularannya bisa secara horizontal maupun congenital. Kucing pada semua tingkat umur dapat terserang oleh FeLV ini. Khusus pada bentuk "thymic leukemia", virus ini hanya menyerang anak-anak kucing berumur diba- wah 1 tahun. Kucing-kucing liar atau yang tidak terpeli- hara jarang sekali terinfeksi FeLV. Selain dari serangan virus FeLV itu sendiri, maka penyakit leukemia ini bisa disebabkan oleh beberapa fak- tor yang sudah ada dalam tubuh hewan dan sangat menunjang perkembangan penyakit ini, yaitu antara lain tumor, agen toksik, cedera oleh kecelakaan dan gangguan hemopoiesis. FeLV menyerang sel-sel darah dalam tubuh hewan se- hingga pembentukan darah berjalan tidak normal. Terlihat sel-sel darah yang belum dewasa sudah beredar dalam sir- kulasi darah. Bentuk dan jumlahnya tidak lagi seimbang dalam tubuh hewan kucing tersebut. Gejala klinis antara lain kekurusan, ikterus, anemia, lemah, anoreksia, dyspnoe, sulit menelan, batuk, dan membran mukosa pucat. Selain itu kelenjar pertahanan tubuh juga membengkak, kemudian terjadi hepatomegali, spleenomegali dan pembengkakan pada ginjal. Terbentuk massa tumor pada beberapa tempat. Secara biopsy pada sumsum tulang akan terlihat be- berapa perubahan. Sumsum tulang berwarna merah tua atau abu-abu. Konsistensinya lunak dan terdapat banyak sekali memproduksi sel darah putih. Melalui gambaran darah leukemia ini lebih mudah didiagnosa. Jumlah retikulosit rendah sekali. PCV 8-15%, hemoglobin menurun, sel darah putih (WBC) meningkat, lim- fosit meningkat, Alfaglobulin juga ada peningkatan, dan banyak eosinofil yang belum dewasa beredar dalam darah…dst
