Judul: Toleransi dan respon fisiologi tanaman Celosia cristata, Gomphrena globosa, dan Catharanthus roseus terhadap zat pencemar udara
Abstrak: Air pollution is an environmental issue that occurs due to change in air composition of its normal state. Plants have been known as bio indicator for air pollution through the growth response. Information capability of herbs plant to absorb pollutant is very limited. The objectives of this research were to determine the tolerance and physiological responses of Celosia cristata, Gomphrena globusa, and Catharanthus roseus due to air pollutant. On the other site, data were also collecyed at green house of IPB Dramaga, which has a relatively low of pollutants. Growth and physiological parameters were recorded include plant height, number of leaf, total leaf area, number of leaf senescence, fresh and dry weight of plant, chlorophyll content, ascorbic acid content (ASA), and the activity of ascorbate peroxidase (APX). Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). This study revealed that plants on location with relatively high of pollutant have plant height, number of leaf, total leaf area, fresh and dry weight lower than those of plants on relatively low of pollutant whereas, total leaf senesence increased. Cataranthus rosesus showed decreasing of chlorophyll content and increasing of APX activity as physiological response due to air pollutant.

Judul: Respon pertumbuhan dan fisiologi tanaman Asystasia gangetica, Impatiens balsamina, dan Mirabilis jalapa pada tingkat polusi yang berbeda
Abstrak: Air pollution is an environmental issue that causes the changing and decreasing of air quality. The plants have different response to the aerial pollution. The purpose of this research was to analyze growth and physiological responses of Asystasia gangetica, Impatiens balsamina, and Mirabilis jalapa grown under different level of pollution in Bogor. The plants were grown in polybag and during 3 months they were exposed to different conditions: (1) with higher aerial pollution and (2) with lower aerial pollution. Growth responses observed in the experiment were the improvement of relative high, leaf number, leaf area, and the value of roots and shoot fresh weight, dry weight, and ratio of shoot/roots. Physiologycal responses observation was also analysed, including chlorophyll and ascorbic acid content. Different pollutant intentsity caused different in growth of Asystasia gangetica, Impatiens balsamina, and Mirabilis jalapa. The plants grown in higher pollution had lower chlorophyll and lower shoot/roots ratio as compared to those grown in lower pollution. Higher aerial pollution caused the plant underwent stress indicated by the increase of ascorbic acid content. The data showed that the plants were sensitive to the aerial pollution even though the pollutant content was still lower than below the standard threshold.

Judul: Construction of Strongly Optimal Binary Linear Code with Minimum Distance 9 and 11
Abstrak: A binary linear code of length n over q F is a subspace of n q F . A code has three parameters that attached to it, namely length, dimension, and minimum distance. A code with length n, dimension k and minimum distance d is often called [n, k, d ]-code. Usually, when two parameters are given, then we want to find a code that has the best value for the last parameter. Based on Gilbert- Varshamov bound, if a [n, k, d ]-code exists and can not be expanded, we call it a strongly optimal code. In this paper, we construct strongly optimal code with minimum distance 9 and 11. In constructing the code, we created a theorem and algorithm based on Gilbert-Varshamov bound before we implement the algorithm to MAPLE programming language. Because of computational limitations, the program can only construct up to k = 10 for d = 9 and k = 12 for d = 11.
