Abstrak: Riverbed substrate is a one of potential abiotic resources. It is useful as habitat, foraging area, and spawning area for most aquatic organisms (Susanto 2000). Riverbed has a very complex substrate composition from small sized substrate into rocky substrate. Over exploitation makes the quality and composition of bottom waters changed. Research on aquatic habitats are usually based on a sampling basis using a corer or a van veen grabber (Romimohtarto and Juwana 2009). But it is not time efficient, covering only narrow area and can be applied only in limited location. One of method that can help to overcome this deficiency is using hydroacoustic technology. Hydroacoustic technology is a technology which used to detect underwater objects by using sound propagation. Acoustic classification system of bottom substrate can predict the substrate type and its geotechnical properties. Hydroacoustic also has been widely used in various applications including marine geology, civil engineering, military science, and fisheries (Lambert et al. 2002; Richardson et al. 2002). This technology is able to provide information regarding the relief of the bottom, fish density, direction and movement of fish, as well as the type of bottom substrate in a relatively rapid and extensive reach. Sea bottom has characteristic in reflecting and scattering sound waves as well as the waters of the sea surface. The resulting effect is more complex due to the nature of the sea floor that is composed of diverse elements ranging from hard rock to soft clay and layers that have different compositions (Urick 1983). Some initial researches on aquatic habitats in Indonesia have been conducted by Manik et al. (2006) using the measurement of surface backscattering strength (SS) of Quantitative Echo Sounder (QES) and the SS value for identification of fish habitat, Pujiyati (2008) which using hydroacoustic method for relationship analysis between bottom substrate types with fish demersal community, Harahap (2010) in quantification of the value of bottom acoustic backscatter using multibeam echosounder, and Allo (2011) which applying the method of Manik et al. (2006) for the quantification and characterization of acoustic backscattering of bottom habitat in the Seribu island. This study was conducted in two phases. The first phase is collection of field data and the second is data processing and analyzing phase. Acoustic data collected were using hydroacoustics instrument SIMRAD EY60 120 kHz frequency and recorded by ER60 software. Sampling substrate was conducted at 9 stations acoustic data recording. Analysis of acoustic data include the value of SV E1, SV E2, and SS. Analysis of the substrate data include the percentage of the fraction (sand, silt, clay), and macrozoobenthos (density, diversity, dominance). Analysis of the relationship between acoustic values, the fraction of the substrate, and macrozoobenthos are using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The results showed that the type of substrates that are found on sites are sand, muddy sand, sandy mud, and mud. Based on the value of SS for sand (- 12.97 dB), muddy sand (-13.96 dB), sandy mud (-17.14 dB and -15.64 dB), and mud (-30.87 dB to -19.25 dB). It shows also that sand has a high substrate roughness, hardness, and

Abstrak: The purpose of this research is to compute the backscattering strength of the seabed by measuring volume backscattering strength (SV), bottom surface backscattering strength (SS), and the echo level (EL) from seabed using split beam echosounder. The research was conducted from 29th January to 3rd February 2011, around the Seribu Islands: Pramuka island, Panggang island, Karya island and Semak Daun island, North Jakarta. Acquisition of acoustic data was conducted using the SIMRAD EY 60 instrument. Acoustic data obtained from 9 stations simultaneously with sediment sampling. Acoustic processing data was conducted by Rick Towler program with Matlab based. The SV and SS were analyzed Manik et al, model by using. Sediment sampling station consisted of 9 stations: Pramuka island there are 1 station (Station 1), Karya island there are 2 stations (Station 2, and Station 3), Panggang island there are 3 stations (Station 4, Station 7, Station 9), and Semak Daun island there are 3 stations (Station 5, Station 6, Station 8). Sediment classified based on the sediment texture. Seabed surface sediments were separated into 3 types, they are: sand, mud, and clay. This analysis showed that the location of the 9 stations observation is dominated by sand fraction with the percentage of 80.85%. Mud and clay fractions had the average percentage value of 18.32% and 0.83%, respectively. The backscattering value (SV) of sand substrate ranged -10.62 to -18.51 dB with the average of -13.91 dB, and the muddy sand substrate ranged from -16.58 to -25.42 dB with the average -20.57 dB. The value of SS for the sand substrate ranged from -20.70 to -28.58 dB with the average value of -23.98 dB. Muddy sand substrate has a value of SS in the range of -26.64 to -35.49 dB with the average SS of -30.64 dB, from this research, the classification of seabed type using hydroacoustic technology was possible.

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.
