Abstrak: Red rice and black rice has more advantage than white rice, including higher nutrient content than white rice. Red and black rice has anthocyanin, a substance causing the colors on the rice pericarp. Most of the red rice and black rice that has been cultivated are landrace cultivars. The local varieties can be one source of characters for plant breeding. Characterization was done to find out the potential characters that contained in the landraces. Plant material used were local rice accessions 22 red and black rice varieties with Aek Sibundong as check. The research results showed that local red and black rice accessions gave very significant effect on the observed variables . Accessions that has the potential to be developed are Sidrap (G7), Malang (G9), Pasaman (G13), Temanggung (G21), Purworedjo (G23), Mesuji (G25), Garut (G26), Meulaboh (G27), and Nisam (G34). They achieved productivity more than 4 ton.ha-1.

Judul: Analisis sifat fisikokimia dan sifat fungsional beras (Oryza sativa) Varietas Beras Hitam dan Beras Merah asal Cianjur, Solok, dan Tangerang
Abstrak: Black rice and red rice are claimed to be safely consumed by the diabetic patients and known to have high antioxidant content. Rice which is grown in different area may have different physical and chemical properties, thus it may also affect the rice functional properties. The purposes of this study were to determine the physical properties (hardness, color and gelatinization profile), chemical properties (proximate composition, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and digestibility of starch) and the functional properties (antioxidant activity) of the black rice and red rice from Cianjur, Solok and Tangerang and also to observe the effect of cooking on the reduction of total phenolic content, flavonoids and antioxidant activity. In vitro analysis of starch digestibility with α-amylase showed that the starch digestibility of rice which had anthocyanin pigments (black and red varieties) ranged from 56.10-83.43%, smaller than white rice which was 87.35%. In addition, the result also showed that the total phenolic content, flavonoid and antioxidant activity in black, red and white rice were decreasing after cooking process. Black rice and red rice from Solok and Cianjur had the better chemical content and functional properties than the Tangerang one.

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.
