Judul: Perubahan Massa Karbon Akibat Pemanenan Kayu di Perusahaan Pemanfaatan Kayu Pulau Siberut
Abstrak: One of the primary role of a forest is, not only as the supplier of carbon, but also as the natural absorbent for Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and as well as the source for greenhouse gas if not managed properly. The purpose of this research is to analyze the magnitude of change in carbon mass, resulted from logging activities. This carbon mass was obtained from lab test, conducted on tree stems, branches, twigs, leaves and barks. Based on t-student test the result for the average level of contained carbon were 53.86% on stems, 51.98% on branches, 31.58% on twigs, 27.91% on leaves, and 32.01% on barks. Forest harvesting with an average stands density of 71.5 trees/ha and with a harvesting intensity of 8.8 trees/ha caused a stand damaged of 16.17 trees/ha. The amount of carbon mass has decreased for about 43.26% because of the harvesting activities, which initially had the amount of 141.89 ton/ha, now has become 80.00 ton/ha after harvesting.

Judul: Limbah Pembalakan Dan Massa Karbon Yang Tersimpan Pada Limbah Kayu Di Pt Sari Bumi Kusuma Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah
Abstrak: Pengelolaan hutan lestari akan tercapai dengan adanya keselarasan aspek ekologi, sosial dan produksi. Salah satu kegiatan produksi adalah kegiatan pemanenan yang meninggalkan limbah di petak tebang, TPn, dan TPk. Limbah pemanenan mempengaruhi faktor eksploitasi dan emisi karbon melalui dekomposisi. Limbah dalam penelitian ini berupa tunggak, batang bebas cabang, batang atas, dan cabang dengan diameter minimal 5 cm. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa limbah di petak tebang rata-rata 13.21 m³/ha (88.36%), limbah di TPn 1.74 m³/ha (11.64%), dan limbah di TPk 0 m³/ha (0%), sedangkan limbah berdasarkan bagian pohon, yaitu 3.52 m³/ha bagian tunggak, 3.46 m³/ha bagian batang bebas cabang, dan 6.23 m³/ha bagian batang atas termasuk cabang.Faktor eksploitasi yang diperoleh dengan pendekatan persen limbah yaitu 0.79 kemudian dengan pendekatan indeks tebang, indeks sarad, dan indeks angkut yaitu 0.8. Simpanan massa karbon pada limbah kayu di PT Sari Bumi Kusuma adalah 1.318 ton C/ha.

Judul: Pengujian Virus Newcastle Disease Gen VII Isolat Lapang Sebagai Virus Standar Pada Uji Tantang Vaksin
Abstrak: This study was conducted to determine the standard of Newcastle disease virus Gene VII field isolate as a virus challenge to vaccine test. A virus suspension that has previously been tested by HA test then titrated with EID50 using 30 Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) of 10 day old chicken embryonated eggs. In addition, chicken lethal dose50 (CLD50) test were used to determine the virus titer that could cause 50% death of the chicken population. The CLD50 test was used 25 day-old-chickens (DOC) divided into 5 groups. The virus was diluted from 10-1 to 10-8. The 104 to 10-8 dilution of NDV was infected to every group of chicken via eyedrop and intranasal with 0.1 ml/chicken dosage. Haemagglutination test showed that the allantoic fluid were contain high titers of NDV is 512 HAU. The infective NDV that had been titrated by EID50 test showed the virus titers is 109 EID50/0.1 ml or 1010 EID50/ml and the virus titers of CLD50 test e.i 106.48 CLD50/0.1 ml or 107.48 CLD50/ml. These results can be concluded that the NDV Gene VII field isolates were most appropriate to be used as a standard virus to vaccine test
