Abstrak: Pangasianodon hypophthalmus or stripped catfish is a potential freshwater aquaculture fish commodity as filet because has the good taste, soft texture, and contain good nutrition. Food and Agriculture Organization reported at the end of June 2011 the amount of stripped catfish filet absorbed by the importing countries recorded are, United States approximately 92,000 tonnes, Europe 188, 100 tonnes, India 1,500 tons and Philippines 7,200 tons. This opportunity not be utilized by Indonesian exporters because until the end of 2010 the production of stripped catfish filet is still low, around 104, 975 tonnes. Exploring the cause of low production stripped catfish filet it is not maximal of growing up because the limited availability of seeds for growing. This happen cause maturation of gonad and spawning from stripped catfish parents only in rainy season. This research was carried out to determine the role between PMSG and Antidopamin used as a combination in gonads rematuration of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. The lasted for 60 days, sampling was done every 14 days involve : (1) specific growth rate, by weighing each individual in all treatments, (2) analysis of the hormone estradiol - 17 β, by observing the blood plasma using the ELISA method, (3) blood glucose levels by observing the blood plasma method (4) hepatosomatic index, by weighing using digital scales 2 digits (5) gonadosomatic index, by weighing using digital scales 2 digits (6) histology of the gonads, making histological preparations method (7) egg diameter with observation and photography using a binocular Olympus mikroskup type SZX16 100 times magnification lens (8) percentage of gonads fish mature, by cannulation using a catheter on day 28 and 42, and (9). Water quality observed every 7 days. This research uses a factorial design consist 3 PMSG dose level and 2 AD dose level. Doses formulation that is composed as follows : 1.P1A0 (PMSG 10 IU / kg fish + AD 0 mg / kg fish),2.P2A0 (PMSG 20 IU / kg fish +AD 0 mg/ kg fish), 3.P0A1 (PMSG 0 IU / kg fish + AD 0.01 mg / kg fish), 4.P1A1 (PMSG 10 IU/ kg fish + AD 0.01 mg/ kg fish), 5. P2A1 (PMSG 20 IU / kg fish + AD 0.01 mg/ kg fish), and 6. P0A0 (Nacl 0,09%) as control. Each combination of dose and control were tested to 7 fishes. Data obtained were processed with Minitab 16. followed by Tukey test. In this research showed that the test fishhes had significantly gonad development are injected with formulations containing PMSG, or combinations between PMSG and Antidopamin namely: P1A0, P2A0, P1A1, and P2A1. This fact shown from the increase in specific growth rate, hormone estradiol - 17β, hepatosomatik index, gonadosomatik index, gonad development and eggs diameter and percentage of gonads mature. Result of the research that has been done that the best dose combination for rematurasi process of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is P1A1 (PMSG 10 IU / kg weight of fish AD + 0.01 mg / kg weight of fish).

Abstrak: The Problems on catfish culture is a scarcity of seeds in the dry season due to the lack of availability of the broodstock catfish mature gonads. The purpose of this research was to induce gonad maturity catfish broodstock hormonally outside the spawning season with PMSG hormone. The tested fish were injected with treatment 0 IU / kg fish, 5 IU / kg of fish and 10 IU / kg fish. Pregnant Mare Serum Hormone Gonadotrophin (PMSG) is a hormone that can stimulate gonadal maturation in the catfish because it contains a lot of FSH and LH bit. PMSG hormone induced by injection intramuscularly given 2 weeks for 8 weeks. The results showed that the PMSG is able to accelerate the maturity of gonads catfish broodstock. The best dosage is 5 IU PMSG / kg fish / 2 weeks / 8 weeks. The results obtained percentage of mature fish gonads reaches 100% at week 8, whereas the treatment 0 IU / kg fish reach 30% the end of the study period. PMSG can be used to accelerate the maturity of gonads in brood fish catfish that seed production can be produced throughout the year.

Abstrak: Kereta api merupakan salah satu sarana angkutan yang murah, cepat dan aman serta dapat mengangkut barang dalam jumlah besar. Kelancaran operasi sarana angkutan tersebut banyak ditentukan oleh kondisi jalan rel, termasuk kondisi bantalannya. Dalam hal ini bantalan rel kereta api dapat dibuat dari kayu, logam, atau beton. Namun demikian kayu merupakan bahan yang paling banyak digunakan sebagai pembuat bantalan rel kereta api di berbagai negara. Kenyataan menunjukkan bahwa kayu yang digunakan sebagai bantalan rel kereta api sering mengalami berbagai macam kerusakan yang menyebabkan bantalan tidak berfungsi lagi atau menurun fungsinya. Di Indonesia, informasi mengenai jenis dan tingkat kerusakan bantalan kayu masih sangat kurang, pada- hal informasi tersebut sangat penting sebagai dasar pertimbangan dalam rangka pemeliharaan jalan kereta api, agar umur pakainya (service life) lebih lama.
