Judul: A Study of Carbon Emission from the Digging and Burning of Topogen Peat Soil in Humbang Hasundutan Regency North Sumatra Province
Abstrak: This research aimed to get carbon emission and to count the carbon potential on and under the surface of topogen peat soil area in Humbang Hasundutan, North Sumatera. The research was conducted in two stages: (1) to count the carbon potential (above ground and below ground), which involved the counting of weight volume (bulk density), C content, peat soil thickness and the size of peat soil area, and (2) to count the carbon emission. The below ground biomass was covering 1,43 until 3,71 tons/ha. The biggest carbon reserve was in nonvegetation soil which reached 0,.400 tons, while the smallest carbon reserve was in vegetation soil which reached 0,333 tons. The average of below ground carbon reserve in peat soil areas in Humbang Hasundutan regency was 0,180 tons. The CO2 emission in peat soil areas in Humbang Hasundutan regency could be predicted that 7,9 tons would be emitted out of 2,07 ha of peat soil areas in Humbang Hasundutan regency for 5 years, with a burning efficiency of 25%.

Judul: Emisi Karbon Dioksida Dari Tanaman Kelapa Sawit Pada Lahan Gambut Di Sumatra
Abstrak: Peatlands are formed by decomposed plants residues, with vegetation that are submerged. The process of peat formation occurs when the rate of deposition exceeds the rate of loss of organic materials. Peatlands in the world only 3% of the entire land, but store 30% of the world terrestrial carbon. Indonesia is estimated to have the largest amount of carbon in tropical peat of 57,4 Gt. Over the past 20 years, peatlands have been converted for agriculture. Oil palm plantations in Indonesia are mostly developed on peat soil. In 1990, the area of oil palm on peat land in Sumatra was 17.985 hectares, and substantially increased up to 1.026.922 hectares in 2010. The development of oil palm on peatland involve drainage that can disturb the capacity of peatlands in storing carbon. This literature study aims to assess the effect of drainage on carbon dioxide emissions of oil palm plantations on peatlands in Sumatera. Drainage of peatlands lead to an increase in carbon dioxide emissions. Separation processes in carbon dioxide emissions shows the contribution of peat decomposition, root respiration, plant biomass and fires for land clearing. Heterotrophic respiration (decomposition of peat) contributes 73% of the total soil respiration and the remaining 27% is from autotrophic respiration (root respiration).

Judul: Invers Drazin dari Matriks Toeplitz Singular
Abstrak: Matriks Toeplitz adalah matriks yang setiap unsur pada diagonal utama bernilai sama dan setiap unsur pada subdiagonal yang bersesuaian dengan diagonal utama juga bernilai sama. Matriks singular adalah matriks yang tidak bisa ditentukan inversnya. Akan tetapi, dapat diupayakan untuk ditentukan inversnya menggunakan invers matriks yang diperumum. Invers Drazin merupakan salah satu jenis invers matriks yang diperumum. Pada karya ilmiah ini ditentukan invers Drazin dari matriks Toeplitz singular dengan menggunakan metode Leverrier Faddeev. Kemudian, ditentukan invers Drazin dari matriks Toeplitz singular yang direpresentasikan sebagai penjumlahan segitiga bawah dan segitiga atas matriks Toeplitz berdasar pada teorema Gohberg dan Semencul., Toeplitz matrix is a matrix in with element on the main diagonal has the same value and on the subdiagonal corresponding to the main diagonal also has the same value. Singular matrix is a matrix that has no inverse. However, it can be attempted to determine the inverse using a generalized inverse matrix. Inverse Drazin is a type of generalized matrix inverse. This paper discussed the inverse Drazin for a singular Toeplitz matrix using the Leverrier Faddeev method. Then, the Drazin inverse of the singular Toeplitz matrix which is represented as a sum of products of lower and upper triangular Toeplitz matrix based on Gohberg and Semencul theorem.
