Judul: Penanganan budidaya kentang  (Solanum tuberosum l.) Di hikmah farm, Pangalengan, Bandung, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: This internship has been done to learn management aspect of potato cultivation and to train the ability of the author to work on field as technician or manager. This internship was implanted at Hikmah Farm, Desa Margamukti, Kecamatan Pangalengan, Kabupaten Bandung, West Java on 14 February until 14 June 2011. The internship was divided into three work section, as field labor for one month, as the assistant foreman for one month, and as the assistant head of estates for two months. The particular aspect that has been observed is influence of early ridging against the growth of potato plant. The treatment that has been done is height of ridging on 10, 15, 20 cm and observed variable was percentage of seedling growth, height of plant, number of stolons per stem and tuber weight at harvest. Analysis result has shown that the treatment height of ridging has significantly influence on percentage of seedling growth on 21st day after planting and has very significantly influence on height of plant on 28th day after planting.

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.
