Judul: Study on energy-save home and garden design conception
Abstrak: The primary factor of high consuming of energy in housing sector is caused by inappropriateness compatibility between architectural and landscape design. Housing design which has been developed and adopted by people now is more oriented towards building aspect and in current trends of design, so that leaving the environment and landscape aspect behind. The environment and landscape aspects have profound influence as the results of this study. Using of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, result of study shows that the influence of landscape (site design) on energy saving in housing landscape unit is very significant (67%) compared to building design (33%). In this case, the plant is a major component that contribute to energy-save design (48.3%). The criteria for each component are discussed specifically in this paper, both physically and visually.

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: Infeksin virus rota pada anak babi
Abstrak: Virus Rota sudah lama diduga sebagai salah satu penyebab diare pada anak babi yang baru dilahirkan. Hal ini diperkuat dengan berhasilnya Mebus dan kawan-kawan mengidentifikasi virus Rota pada kejadian diare yang ter jadi pada anak sapi yang baru dilahirkan. Infeksi virus Rota merupakan hal yang serius, kejadian yang mewabah pernah dilaporkan di Amerika Serikat, Inggris, Kanada dan Australia. Sedangkan kejadian di Indonesia yang dihubungkan dengan infeksi virus Rota belum dilaporkan. Virus Rota termasuk keluarga Reo viridea. Sesuai dengan namanya, virus Rota menyerupai roda (Rota = Wheel), mengandung asam nukleat (nucleid acid) yang berupa asam nukleat ribo (ribo nucleid acid, RNA) dan berserabut ganda (double stranded), tidak mempunyai selubung (envelop atau peplos). Hewan rentan adalah hewan yang berumur sangat muda. Selain menyerang babi, dapat pula menyerang sapi, domba, rusa, anjing, kucing, tikus, kelinci, unggas dan manusia. ...
