Judul: Desain Taman Cilaki Atas Kota Bandung Berbasis Ekologi
Abstrak: Urban park is a green open space which accomodate social activities needs. Aesthetic and ecological space are another function of urban park. Bandung is one of many cities which have many urban parks, with the potency to provide an ecological balance in the city. However, urban parks of which are available in most cases created simply for beautification and social function, while the other function is still can be maximized. The function of urban parks that are often forgotten is the controller of ecological balance. Upper Cilaki Bandung Urban Park is one of it. Urban park which maximizing ecological function and understanding the ecological characteristics of the landscape is needed. One of the ecological aspects which are becoming main point in park issues is the hydrological aspect. The characteristics of park topography which is relatively steep, causing many topsoil removal. A descriptive analysis was carried out to determine the physical characteristics and the design of the park. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the user's characteristics of urban park to find out the needs and expectations of users especially for ecological sustainability of the environment. Then, the functional, aesthetic, and ecologic urban park design will be produced. The basic concepts used are eco urban park. In the design process, it is important to note the recreation and ecological aspects. Ecology which is mentioned here cover a natural environmental cycle and preservation of local culture. The design concept applying nervous patterns to create the feel of the city. These patterns become the focal point that breaks down the natural impression of the park. Seven retention ponds which are connected with bioswale built to support the ecological function. The pond will maximize the infiltration of water run off cached as well as irrigation needs. This research is expected to be a consideration and guidelines in designing the urban parks based on ecology.

Judul: Desain Taman Kota Cilegon Berbasis Konsep Eco-Design
Abstrak: Cilegon ialah kota pada Provinsi Banten yang terletak diujung barat Pulau Jawa. Pembangunan kota yang berkembang sangat cepat mengakibatkan kerusakan lingkungan seperti meningkatnya polusi udara dan urban heat island. Salah satu upaya untuk meminimalisir efek tersebut adalah dengan mengoptimalkan fungsi ekologis dari Ruang Terbuka Hijau melalui desain taman kota, yang faktanya belum dimiliki Kota Cilegon. Taman tersebut merupakan lahan eks Pasar Baru yang sudah direlokasi dengan total luas 2,3 Ha. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk membuat suatu inovasi dalam desain yang eklogis dari taman kota yang akan menjadi identitas Kota Cilegon dengan mengakomodasi aktivitas rekreasi untuk warganya. Menggunakan metode deskriptif melalui survei, kuisioner serta interview. Konsep dasar yang diterapkan ialah eco-urbanscape restoration dengan penekanan restorasi habitat wetland yang dahulu banyak terdapat di Kota Cilegon. Implementasi desain ekologis berdasarkan indikator seperti: restorasi habitat satwa liar, efisinesi energi, penggunaan material ramah lingkungan, desain akomodatif, pengelolaan air limbah dan pengontrol banjir. Konsep desain yang diaplikasikan ialah pola percabangan ranting pada delta wetland yang ditransformasikan berupa pola geometris dan organik yang harmonis untuk mendapatkan kesan yang berbeda-beda pada tapak. Hasil akhir penelitian ini berupa pembagian ruang menjadi 4 bagian yaitu: ruang reservasi satwa liar (20%), ruang penyangga atau ruang eco-experience (30%), ruang rekreasi (40%) dan ruang penerimaan (10%). Desain yang dibuat diharapkan sebagai rekomendasi untuk desain Taman Kota Cilegon sebagai area rekreasi ruang luar berbasis ekologi.

Judul: Co-infection of Infectious Myonecrosis Virus (IMNV) and Vibrio harveyi in Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)
Abstrak: L. vannamei production in Indonesia was growing intensively. In 2006, IMN (infectious myonecrosis) disease was confirmed spread to Indonesia shrimp farm and declined shrimp production. The study was conducted to investigate effect of dose of V. harveyi on co-infection with IMNV in L. vannamei as well as development of viral infection. Shrimps juvenile were oral infected with IMNV infected shrimps 10 % feeding rate during 3 days and co-infected with 106, 107 and 108 cfu/ml V. harveyi. Mortality rate was 0 % in control and single infection of V. harveyi except 108 cfu/ml treatment. Mortality pattern demonstrated on co-infection was faster and higher than single IMNV infection in 14 days observation. The density of green colony Vibrio in hepatopancreas of co-infected shrimps collected in 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days post infection were higher than V. harveyi single infected (significantly in 10 days post infection). There were no difference of IMN disease development between co-infection and IMNV single infection. It was confirmed by visual gross sign appeared, tissue and lymphoid organ histophatology, organ abnormality, and PCR test. In conclusion, IMN disease caused higher and faster mortality on co-infection with V. harveyi, but not affect to IMN disease development.
