Judul: Kajian Eco-Aesthetics Green Panel pada Bangunan Rumah Tinggal
Abstrak: Housing development in Indonesia has not implemented renewable energy resource efficiency yet. Electric energy consumption for building cooling using mechanical air refreshner like air conditioning has achieved level 65%. This cooling system was conducted to establish thermal comfort in house building. Actually, thermal comfort is not only created by modern technology, it could be established through natural element like plants. Main problem in city involves land limitation and raising of land economic value. Plant existence like green open space in urban area is difficult to be maintained. So, the alternative solution is to make plant acquision by verticulture techniques, for example green panel. Green panel has function as a secondary skin which protect building from direct solar radiation in order to create comfortable micro climate inside the building. The purpose of this research was to study eco-aesthetics green panel for house building. The meansurement of parameter are green panel distance of wall building and type of plant used. This research was conducted at a house building in Bogor. House orientation is North to South with main entrance at North. The Method of this research is experimental method with tested parameter in green panel. Tested parameter consists of green panel distance to wall building and type of plant used. Tested distance consists of three variable distance like 0 cm, 50 cm, and 100 cm. While, plant type which used are Althernantera sp., Arachis pintoi, Chlorophytum sp., Cuphea hyssopifolia, and Iresine herbstii. Based on distance position, the best distace of green panel palcement is 0 cm (adhered to wall). In this distance, room temperature decrease on maximum level, that is 0.42°C in indoor condition and 0.79°C in outdoor area. While based on plant type, the best ground cover combination to decrease room temperature are Cuphea hyssopifolia and Iresine herbstii. Reduction level of temperature lies at 0.65°C - 0.79°C in good weather condition. Both of these ground cover also have high quality beauty (aesthetics) by respondent evaluation. Refers to analysis result, green panel combination which best to be applied in house building scale are Cuphea hyssopifolia, and Iresine herbstii which placed on 0 cm from wall building. This combination have high eco-aesthetics quality based on eco-aesthetics classification.

Judul: Analisis Perbandingan Kenyamanan Termal Gedung Kuliah B1, FEM-IPB dengan menggunakan Atap Beton dan Green Roof (tanaman hias)
Abstrak: Green roof is one of a way to make an environmental building because it can reduce the use of fossil fuel and CO2 pollution. Nowadays green roof has been used in several countries to reduce an environmental impact from building which can worse the condition of thermal comfort. This research was conducted to find out the thermal comfort conditions of class room B1 belongs to the Faculty of Economics and management (FEM), IPB. This research purpose are to know about the existing condition of the classroom B1 thermal comfort and to comparing the thermal comfort of the room if the building use a green roof, and then make an optimalization of the wall openings. Green roof convered by a kind of landscape schrub which call pineapple.In this research has been analysed temperature, humidity, and air flow in several height using a simulation technique base on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The simulation is carried out using the program SolidWorks 2012. This research result show that the highest temperature at 13.00 PM showed 30,37°C, humidity 77,44%, and air flow 0,014 m/s. The thermal comfort using the green roof are temperature 28,48°C and humidity 75,19%. The thermal comfort with wall opening are temperature 27,97°C and humidity 50,02%. The standard for thermal comfort room that is 22-29°C, humidity 30-50%.

Judul: Peranan virus rota pada diare anak sapi
Abstrak: Virus rota sebagai salah satu agent penyebab diare pada anak sapi telah dapat dipastikan setelah Mebus et al. (1969) di USA berhasil mengisolasinya dari filtrat feses anak sapi (McNulty, 1976). Pada penelitian selanjutnya McNulty (1978) melaporkan bahwa virus rota selain menyerang anak sapi juga babi, domba, kambing, manusia, unggas, kelinci, tikus, anjing, kucing, rusa dan kuda. Durham dan Johnson (1982) mengatakan bahwa virus rota berbentuk bulat dan mengandung RNA serabut ganda yang dikelilingi atau diselaputi oleh kapsid ganda. Dari bentuk tersebut menyebabkan virus rota terlihat menyerupai roda dan dari sinilah nama rota diberikan (rota = roda). Selanjutnya dikatakan bahwa pada kapsid bagian dalam terdapat antigen yang spesifik terhadap group pada semua virus rota tanpa memandang dari hewan apa virus itu berasal. Sebaliknya kapsid bagian luar mengandung antigen yang spesifik terhadap spesies menurut hewan asal virus tersebut dan antigen inilah yang mempunyai aktifitas hemaglutinasi. Struktur virus rota ada dua macam, pertama yang mempunyai kapsid perlapis tunggal tanpa mampu mengaglutinasikan sel darah merah, kedua virus rota dengan kapsid berlapis ganda dengan kemampuan mengaglutinasikan sel darah merah.
