Judul: Micro-Climate Characteristics of Multi Density Cassava Planting. Guided
Abstrak: The objective of this research was to understand the micro climate characteristics such as radiation, air temperature, relative humidity and intercepted radiation at cassaca plantation with different varieties, organic compounds and density at Cimahpar, Bogor. This characterization was based on micro climate observation at cassava plantation utilizing two instruments. First, the measurement was done by AWS (Automatic Weather Station) at the 20 MST (Week After Planting). Second, using Termokopel Blackbody Portable at 32 MST and 40 MST. Destructive sample data measurement was done to find the Leaf Area Index (LAI) of the cassava. Closer planting gap will increase the LAI. The LAI has a positive correlation with intercepted radiation. Intercepted radiation increase along with higher LAI to a maximum value, then it decline as LAI decrease due to aging and leaf falls around harvest period. Maximum value of LAI and intercepted radiation occur at 32 MST at density 1 m x 0,5 m (P1). LAI also influence other micro climate characteristics including solar radiation, air temperature and humidity. The lowest value of solar radiation and air temperature was found at 2 m x 2 m (P3). Generally, Adira variety appear with the highest value of LAI at all treatments. This was due to the relatively small yet large number of leafs which makes them look more dense. The characteristic of the Adira cause a bigger amount of radiation intercepted compared to the other variety. Next in row in LAI and intercepted radiation value is the UJ-5 variety then the Cicurug.

Judul: Karakteristik Intersepsi Radiasi Matahari dan Produksi Tanaman Jagung Manis pada Arah Baris dan Kerapatan Berbeda
Abstrak: This study was conducted to determine the effect of row planting direction and plant population density on the change of specific leaf area (SLA), leaf area index (LAI), radiation use efficiency (RUE) and growth of sweet corn. The research was conducted from March to June 2013 in Cikabayan Research Station IPB Darmaga-Bogor, West Java, at altitude of ± 240 masl. The row planting direction was TB (East-West direction) and US (North-South direction). The planting spacing was J20 (70 x 20 cm) and J40 (70 x 40 cm). The meteorology factors being observed were the intensity of radiation, air temperature and humidity. Agronomic variables factors being observed were plant height, number of leaves, dry weight and yield component. The results showed the combination treatment of row direction and planting spacing did not significantly affect plant height, leaf number and total dry weight. However, the treatment has significant affect on dry plant at harvest. The interception of solar radiation in US treatment was 11% higher than the TB, while J20 treatment has 3% higher than J40. Radiation use eficiency of treatment TBJ20, TBJ40, USJ20, USJ40 were 2.97, 2.75, 3.16, and 3.14 g MJ-1 respectively. Dry seed yield of J20 was 5.98 ton ha-1, which was 20% greater than J40 population. Harvest index for TBJ20, TBJ40, USJ20 and USJ40 are 0.23, 0.19, 0.25 and 0.20.

Judul: Metoda intramedullary pin sebagai salah satu cara menanggulangi fraktur femoralis pada anjing
Abstrak: Metoda intramedullary pin merupakan salah satu metoda penanggulangan fraktur yang populer karena banyak mempunyai keuntungan, diantaranya adalah : cepat dan mudah dikerja- kan, fiksasi yang dihasilkan lebih kuat dibandingkan metoda plate, setelah sembuh tulang menjadi lebih kuat, dan biaya yang digunakan relatif lebih ekonomis. Beberapa macam intramedullary pin yang ada, diantara- Steinmann pin, Rush pin, Kirschner pin, Kuentscher nya : nail, dan Leighton Shuttle pin. Teknik pemasangan intramedullary pin dapat melalui operasi tertutup atau operasi terbuka, tergantung dari ti- pe dan derajat fraktur. Pada operasi tertutup tidak dila- kukan pembukaan terhadap lokasi fraktur. Penyisipan pin dilakukan melalui fragmen fraktur proximal diteruskan ke fragmen distal, sehingga pada metoda ini luka yang timbul hanya pada tempat dimana pin tersebut dimasukkan. Pada operasi terbuka penyisipan pin dilakukan melalui pembukaan lokasi fraktur. Dalam melakukan pembukaan terhadap lokasi fraktur, harus dipilih pendekatan yang paling sesuai dan paling sedikit kemungkinannya untuk menimbulkan komplikasi. Pengambilan pin biasanya dilakukan setelah empat atau lima minggu disisipkan, diharapkan pada waktu itu telah terjadi pembentukan callus yang sudah cukup kuat untuk me- nunjang berdirinya tubuh. Pada beberapa keadaan pin tidak perlu diambil, misalnya pada anjing tua atau pada anjing yang menderita penyakit tulang. Tidak ada reaksi sakit... akibat pin bertahan di dalam tulang.
