Abstrak: Rainfall interception is a process of keeping temporarily of the rain water on vegetation before evaporated back into the atmosphere. The loss of water through interception is an important part of the hydrologic cycle. Besides the interception, the water loss can be caused by evapotranspiration. Evapotranspiration is the loss of water through the soil and plant surfaces. This research was aimed to determine interception, stemflow, throughfall, and evapotranspiration. The results showed that there were 16 rainy days in 3 months period of observation which variation of daily rain from 4.83 mm/day to 95.53 mm/day. Stemflow and throughfall were increasing as the increase of rainfall. The value of stemflow obtained in field observation was very low i.e. fewer than 1%, therefore the value used for measuring interception was adapted from research conducted by Purba (2007) i.e. 7.8%. The stemflow values of each rainy day were obtained varied from 0.38 mm to 7.45 mm. The throughfall were obtained varied from 5.00 mm to 87.47 mm or from 73.00% to 127.84%. Generally, the interception values increase with the increase of rainfall, yet the percent of intercepted rainfall decreased, also the interception decreased stemflow and throughfall. The average value of interception varied between 0.51 mm and 4.32 mm or from 0.64% to 19.20%. Decreasing soil moisture in 30 cm root depth were 2.40 mm/day. Decreasing soil moisture in 60 cm root depth were 4.28 mm/day. Those values were equal to evapotranspiration.

Judul: Penerapan Model Gash Untuk Pendugaan Intersepsi Hujan Pada Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit (Studi Kasus di Unit Usaha Rejosari PTPN VII Lampung).
Abstrak: Intersepsi hujan adalah proses tertahannya air hujan pada permukaan vegetasi sebelum diuapkan kembali ke atmosfer. Hilangnya air melalui intersepsi (interception loss) merupakan bagian penting dalam siklus hidrologi, yaitu kaitannya dengan produksi air (water yield) suatu DAS. Intersepsi hujan pada pertanaman kelapa sawit perlu diketahui untuk dapat menduga jumlah air hujan yang menjadi run off. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memprediksi besarnya intersepsi melalui pengukuran dan perhitungan aliran batang (stemflow) dan curahan tajuk (troughfall) pada tanaman kelapa sawit serta menduga besarnya intersepsi selama 4 bulan pengamatan menggunakan model Gash di Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit Unit Usaha Rejosari PTPN VII Lampung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 16 hari kejadian hujan dalam periode 4 bulan pengamatan dengan hujan harian bervariasi antara 1.06 sampai 41.13 mm/hari, rata-rata hujan total ketiga blok pengamatan sebesar 166.09 mm dan intensitas hujan rata-rata sebesar 18.53 mm/jam. Aliran batang dan curahan tajuk meningkat dengan meningkatnya curah hujan dan intensitas hujan. Nilai aliran batang per kejadian hujan bervariasi antara 0.01 sampai 3.74 mm atau 0.39 sampai 11.22 % dari total hujan harian. Nilai curahan tajuk per kejadian hujan bervariasi antara 0.27 sampai 32.27 mm atau 23.00 sampai 86.40 % dari total hujan harian. Besarnya intersepsi dipengaruhi oleh ketebalan hujan dan intensitas hujan serta curahan tajuk dan aliran batang yang terjadi. Intersepsi per kejadian hujan bervariasi antara 0.41 sampai 11.98 mm atau 4.11 sampai 76.18 % dari hujan total harian. Total intersepsi selama 4 bulan pengamatan bervariasi antara 39.77 sampai 70.78 mm atau 23.56 sampai 42.11 % dari total hujan dengan rata-rata intersepsi selama 4 bulan pengamatan sebesar 57.9 mm atau 34.9 % total hujan. Intersepsi meningkat dengan meningkatnya curah hujan namun menjadi konstan ketika kapasitas maksimum tajuk menahan air tercapai. Kapasitas maksimum intersepsi pada tanaman kelapa sawit terjadi pada curah hujan 22 mm sampai 30 mm. Hasil perhitungan rata-rata intersepsi menggunakan Model Gash (1979) adalah 36.7 mm (22.1 %) dari rata-rata total hujan selama periode 4 bulan pengamatan. Sedangkan hasil perhitungan intersepsi menggunakan Revisi Gash et al. (1995) adalah 41.7 mm (25.1 %) dari rata-rata total hujan selama periode 4 bulan pengamatan.

Judul: Construction of Strongly Optimal Binary Linear Code with Minimum Distance 9 and 11
Abstrak: A binary linear code of length n over q F is a subspace of n q F . A code has three parameters that attached to it, namely length, dimension, and minimum distance. A code with length n, dimension k and minimum distance d is often called [n, k, d ]-code. Usually, when two parameters are given, then we want to find a code that has the best value for the last parameter. Based on Gilbert- Varshamov bound, if a [n, k, d ]-code exists and can not be expanded, we call it a strongly optimal code. In this paper, we construct strongly optimal code with minimum distance 9 and 11. In constructing the code, we created a theorem and algorithm based on Gilbert-Varshamov bound before we implement the algorithm to MAPLE programming language. Because of computational limitations, the program can only construct up to k = 10 for d = 9 and k = 12 for d = 11.
