Judul: Developments of Desmodium spp. as cover crop plant in post mining reclamation.
Abstrak: Mining is one of state revenue source in Indonesia. The topsoil were deployed after the excavation of minerals that usually not form a compact structure, so it is prone to erosion when it rains. One effort to reduce the rate of soil ground erosion is planting cover crops. Cover crops are specifically planted to protect soil from erosion threat of damage and to improve the chemical and physical properties of soil. The Objective of this study is to obtain information about taxonomy and characteristics of cover crop of Desmodium spp. type, to calculate the productivity of cover crop of Desmodium spp. types, and to analyse the response of jabon (Anthocephalus cadamba) seedlings growth to soil cover crops Desmodium spp. This research was conducted in three stages, the first stage is multiplication Desmodium spp. and observation on its characteristic, second is planting in the nursery to measure the rate of plant growth and productivity, and the lastly is planting Desmodium spp. with jabon seedling to observe its effects on jabon seedling. The research data is analyzed with statistics to observe the effect of its treatment and treatment combination of growth parameters of jabon seedling, if significant then further tested DMRT (Duncan's Multiple Range Test) with a 5% significance level. Study results shows that Desmodium spp. plant has different characteristics among species. D. heterophyllum type is the highest type of its individual accretion compared with D. ovalifolium and D. triflorum. Desmodium spp. plant have different productivity among species. D. heterophyllum type has the highest productivity compared with other types, where the speed of land cover, plant growth rate, and the highest biomass production compared with D. ovalifolium and D. triflorum. Treatment interaction of Desmodium spp. with soil type can increase the diameter, height, number of leaves of jabon seedlings with the greatest sequence is planting with D. triflorum, D. heterophyllum, D. ovalifolium, and control, so that it can recommended to be planted together.

Abstrak: Cover crop is a plant that is used to control erotion on open land, such as ex-mining land. Recently, some of cover crops that available are Centrosema pubescens, Calopogonium mucunoides, Pueraria javanica, and Mucuna sp. In the generally, they are creeped and enlaced so they should be controlled intensively. Therefore it is needed to look for alternative types of cover crops, that does not disturb another plants. The aim of this research are get information about the influence of legumes cover crop and grass to the growth of red jabon, and get information about growing speed of cover crop. Based on the analysis of variance in all red jabon parameters, showed that planting red jabon with cover crop in the same polybag do not reduce of red jabon growth. Cover crop who has life ability, covered open area ability quickly, and include to the potential species is Desmodium. Desmodium has the highest percentage of life about 72%, better in the length of primary stem and total of branch than Arachis and Paspalum

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
