Judul: Desain Lanskap Kebun Percobaan Sindang Barang sebagai Sarana Agrowidyawisata
Abstrak: Sindang Barang Experimental Field (KPSB) is one of a supporting facilities for research, education, and community service. KPSB is one of University Farm (UF) of IPB, with total area 78 750 m2, consist of planting Bloks, research garden, building, and supporting facilities. Recently, KPSB is not used optimally and and not put in good use due to lack of facilities. Therefore, landscape design of KPSB is needed as a reference for future development of KPSB. The purpose of this study is designing an experimental field with techno-ecologycal farming concept. This research used survey and descriptive method with the design phase approach followed Bell (2008). The main design concept is techno-ecological agro tourism. This design was not only concern about research and education activities, but also how to support agro tourism. The zoning in this design are: welcome area (9%), agriculture (27%), education (23%), fisheries (11%), talun (20%), and tourism (10%). In the future, it is expected that agrotourism activities can be done well on KPSB.

Judul: Perancangan Lanskap Peternakan Sebagai Sarana Agroedutourism di Kampus Dramaga Institut Pertanian Bogor
Abstrak: The environmental conditions is a factors affecting of livestock directly or indirectly. The field laboratory of small ruminants is a kind of the IPB facilities. The condition of field laboratory has a less support of environment for these activities. Livestock productivity and optimal quality can indirectly support the livestock farming activities (educational and breeding). In addition, to support and develop the field laboratory of small ruminant as agroedutourism tourist activities. The objectives of this study are to identify the potency and problem of the site as an object to support agroedutourism and also designing ruminant’s landscape in developing and supporting the agroedutourism in IPB. This research uses descriptive method, survey method to data collection, and refers to the stages of the work made by Booth (1983). The results of this research is the design landscape of the animal husbandry environment to supports educational activities and agroedutourism with consider amenities of user and animals that are there. The Field Laboratory Small Ruminant is determined by six zone. They are, welcome area 912.2 m² (4.5%), service 1 035.6 m² (5.2%), buffer 8 899.5 m² (44.3%), tourism, educational, and livestock farming area is 9 245.6 m² (46%). Landscape design of small ruminants laboratory can function properly in the future for agroedutourism activity

Judul: Approximation of the Median of Poisson Distribution Using the Relation of Poisson-Gamma Distribution
Abstrak: A major drawback of median is that median cannot usually be defined in closed form, even in the cases where their distribution functions are known. This study gives an approximation of the closed form for the median of the Poisson distribution by using the relation of Poisson-Gamma distribution. The approximation uses elementary techniques based on the monotonicity of certain sequences involving tail probabilities of the Poisson distribution and the Central Limit Theorem. Furthermore, a closed form expression for the mean absolute deviation 􀜧|􀜰􀰒 􀵆 􀜯􀝁􀝀􁈺􀜰􀰒􁈻| is also studied. The median is relevant because of the fact that it minimizes the mean absolute deviation of a Poisson random variable (􀜰􀰒􁈻 by considering median as central tendency.
