Judul: Pengaruh Konsep Green Facades Terhadap Kualitas Estetik Visual Rumah Tinggal
Abstrak: Many concepts of eco-friendly living is keep implemented and provided due to provide the environment quality. green facade is the popular way to make green space which is provided by vegetation, the most important component of sustainable environment. This concept provides the advantages of ecology and the quality of environmental aesthetic. Green facade in this research is specialized to the appliance of vines vegetation plantation on a vertical sides. Green facade can be applied directly to the walls or indirectly to the walls by using supporting structures. The focus of this research is to analize the ability of green facade to improve the environment aesthetic quality. This research would like to see the effect of many kinds and forms of green facade applied to a house to the aesthetic quality by simulation. This research tests six concepts of green facade with many kinds of plant species and supporting structures. By the result of the research with Scenic Beauty Estimation (SBE) Method, known that green facades significantly contribute the aesthetic quality of house. The high dense cover vines, with flower vines, and with supporting structure vines (linear, grid, and espalier) have the high aesthetic quality. On the other side, Semantic Differensial Method shows that green facade provides the impression of dinamic, variative, and the aesthetic of the house.

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: Penyakit Bluetongue Pada Ternak Domba
Abstrak: Bluetongue (BT) adalah penyakit akuta, non conta gious yang disebabkan oleh Arbo Virus (16), menyerang ternak domba maupun ruminant lainnya. Penularan penyakit ini dari satu hewan ke hewan rentan dilakukan oleh anthro poda genus Culicoides Sp (24,26). Penyakit BT pada domba pertama kali dilaporkan Hutcheon (1902) dan Spreull ( 1902,1905) sewaktu oleh kejadian endemik di Afrika Selatan (9), dan jauh sebelumnya yaitu pada tahun 1876 penyakit semacam BT telah dikenal (9). Transportasi dan mobilisasi ternak yang tinggi memu dahkan penyebaran BT ke negara lain yaitu Cyprus (1924) Turki (1944), Israel (1951), Amerika (1952), Spanyol (1958), Pakistan (1960) India (1964), Australia (1975), dan pada tahun 1981 penyakit BT telah ditemukan di Indonesia tepatnya di daerah Caringin Bogor yang menye rang domba impor yaitu Ras Sufflok asal Australia (16,22 ). Domba merupakan hewan yang paling rentan terhadap BT (21). Kerentanan dari masing-masing ras domba pun berbeda dan umumnya BT menyerang domba diatas 1 tahun (23). Diduga sapi bertindak sebagai reservoar (12), hanya sekitar 5% sapi yang terserang BT memperlihatkan gejala pe nyakit dengan derajat sedang sampai berat. Masa inkubasi ET pada domba yang terinfeksi secara alami diperkirakan selama 7 hari sedang pada infeksi buatan antara 2 hari- sampai 15 hari ( rata-rata 4 sampai 7 hari) (12).
