Abstrak: Research was conducted to studied agronomic characters some varieties of maize in baby corn production. In addition, to determinated the varieties that are relatively equal or better than the control. The varieties were consisted of local varieties (Campaloga 2009, Ketip Kuning 2117, Lokal Oesao 3033, and Lokal Srimanganti 3201), introduced varieties (EW DMR Pool C6S2 3325 dan Phil DMR Comp. 2 3423), results of breeding variety (Arjuna 2585), and one of variety hybrid, BISI 2 as a comparison. The researh arranged in a split plot randomized completely block design with two factors and three replications. Character that was had greatest influence in determining the net weight cob of plant/yield were the net weight of cob, number cobs of plant, gross weight cobs of plant, number of rejects cob, cob length, and diameter of cob. Interaction variety and detasseling had significant respons to gross weight of cob for two varieties. They were Lokal Srimanganti 3201 and Arjuna 2585. The results showed that Arjuna 2585 has yield more than BISI 2. Varieties that had the potential of yield characters were Arjuna 2585, Lokal Srimanganti 3201, and Lokal Oesao 3033. In this research, generally detasseling increasing the yield and quality of baby corn.

Abstrak: Corn can be harvested in the form of shelled and of young ears or baby corn. Baby corn varieties in Indonesia are not many at this time, and therefore, development of baby corn varieties is considered potential. This study aimed to evaluate some agronomic characters of local corn and breeding genotypes which are potential to be further developed as baby corn varieties. The experiment conducted at Leuwikopo IPB experimental station at Dramaga, Bogor, from November 2014 to February 2015. The genetic material was consisted of 20 corn genotypes, they were 13 local genotypes and 7 breeding lines. The experimental was arranged in a randomized completely block design with three replication. Traits observed were plant height, stem diameter, number of nodes, day of male flowering, day of female flowering, day first harvest, number of ears per plant, gross weight of ears per plant, net weight of ears per plant, gross weight of ears per fruit, net weight of ears per fruit, ear size (diameter and length), and percentage of marketable and nonmarketable of baby corn ears. The results of analysis of variance showed that there are diversity of corn genotypes tested. High broad sense heritability in all agronomic characters were observed except for gross weight of ears per plant. Linear correlation analysis showed that the earlier the male and female flowering the earlier the days to harvest. Some corn genotypes have more than 2 ear per plant and some showed prolific potential or have several ears in a stem internode. Genotype JWP 2.2, JLP1, G9M7, G1G7. G1M8, and J-CLA 84 have the number of ears per plant more than the other genotypes. Genotype JWP 2.2 has a greater percentage of quality class A than that of Band C, and low percentage of nonmarketable ear. Genotypes potentially developed as baby corn are Bajawa 1.1, JWP 1.2, JWP 2.2, JLP1, G1G7, G1G8, G7M7, and G9M7

Judul: The Dynamic of HIV Virus Infection as a Result of Protease Inhibitor Therapy.
Abstrak: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is defined as symptoms of deterioration human immune system caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The virus damages the leucocytes; therefore, once a person infected by the HIV, his/her immune system will be paralyzed and eventually will not be able to survive from any disease. HIV is transmitted in many ways, such as having unsafe sex, using unsterilized syringe, blood transfusion, and many more. So far, there has not been discovered yet a way or a medicine that can totally cure this disease. However, reverse transcriptase inhibitor therapy, protease inhibitor, or combination of those two can decline the growth of virus inside the body of the infected person. Therefore, the immune system will be enhanced back to normal phase. In this paper, will analyze the effect of protease inhibitor therapy on the dynamics of virus inside the blood with different value of effectiveness. There are two mathematical models of protease inhibitor therapy to consider, i.e. perfect and imperfect protease inhibitor. The perfect protease inhibitor therapy hinders the virus to grow well and not to infect healthy leucocytes. On the other hand, the imperfect one cannot completely detained the virus growth.
