Abstrak: Measurement of the biomass is needed to find out how large the amount of carbon stock in the forest. Accurate information on the forest carbon stock is needed to describe the condition of forest ecosytems. This study aims to determine allometric model biomass and carbon stock of Acacia nilotica at Baluran National Park. This research was using destructive sampling of tree samples.The biomass of sample trees was measured and weighed, after that the equation was made to estimate the potential biomass in the research area according to trees diameter. Based of a simple regression analysis test, the best model for estimating biomass content the A.nilotica is W = 0.484 D1.832. The results shows that tree carbon stock in each density are different. The density consist of closed density 10.00 ton/ha, medium density 12.74 ton/ha, and spare density 12.57 ton/ha. Each density has a different carbon content as influenced by stand density, stand age, and site quality stands

Judul: Potency estimation of above ground biomass and carbon storage in acacia mangium and pinus merkusii at Kesatuan Pemangkuan Hutan Bogor Perum Perhutani Unit III Jawa Barat dan Banten
Abstrak: Estimation of biomass and carbon storage potential is very important for forestspreservation. In generally estimation used destructive method or allometric equations method. Estimation destructive manner requires time, cost and human resources, while estimating the allometric equation fixated on certain types of plants. It is necessary to obtain the best allometric equation which can be applied to various forest standing tree, silviculture system, topography, and rainfall. This study aimed to estimate the potential of biomass and carbon stocks using allometric equations.The best selected allometric equations to estimate biomass and carbon storage potential in stand of Acacia mangium and Pinus merkusii using Bootstrap resampling simulation. The relative values of the bias that approachedto allometric equations which W = 0.199 x D2.148 for A. mangium and W = 0.177 x D2.0501 for P. merkusiiwill be declared as the best allometric equation. Based on the analysis results obtained allometric equations W = 0.066 x D2.59 is a best allometric equations to estimate biomass and carbon storage potential in stand A. mangium while for P. merkusii is allometric equation LogW = -0.686 + 2.26 logD.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
