Judul: Pemanfaatan Cangkang Kemiri Sunan dan Serutan Kayu sebagai Bahan Papan Partikel
Abstrak: Woods are usually used as a raw material of furniture and other wood-based products. Since technology grows rapidly, wood-based products can be made not directly from whole real wood. They can be made from other wood-like processed materials such as hardboard, insulation board, particle board, plywood, and fiberboard. In this research, shell of Aluerites Trisperma Blanco, in Indonesian known as Kemiri Sunan, and wood shaving was used as raw materials of particle board. The objective of this research are (1) to study the effects of difference of material composition to mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of particle board, and (2) to look for the best composition of shell of kemiri sunan and wood shaving. From the research it can be concluded that difference of material composition affects only water content, swelling, modulus of elasticity, modulus of rupture, and internal bonding of particle board. Density, heat spesific, and conductivity are not affected. The best composition was found to be 25% of shell and 75% of wood shaving. At this composition, board density was 0.78 g/cm3, water content 9.23%, swelling 5.93%, modulus of rupture 77.92 kgf/cm2, modulus of elasticity 8.3x102 kgf/cm2, internal bonding 7.98 kgf/cm2, heat spesific 3.64 kJ/kg.K, and conductivity 0.195 W/m.K.

Judul: Sifat Fisis-Mekanis Papan Partikel dari Kombinasi Limbah Shaving Kulit Samak dan Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit dengan Konsentrasi Perekat Berbeda
Abstrak: Shaving leather waste is the residue of shaving yield which had been tanned wether by plant or chrome tannin. Shaving leather waste of tannin leather which used by plant tannin could be used directly as fertilizer, while if it used more than 2 mg/l or 0,14 kg/ton could be caused soil fertility disturbance and skin illness (BAPEDAL, 1996). According to BAPEDAL (1996) later many tanning leather factories used chrome tanning, since the increasing of market demand toward leather into chrome tannin. The objectives of this research was to use shaving leather waste which usually pile up and interfered the environment and its neighborhood, and to study for other alternative of the present leather tanning waste usage. The result reveals that physical and mechanical properties of particleboard made from shaving leather waste and palm empty bunches conform with SNI standard with hardwood bonded by urea formaldehida. Completely Randomized Design two factor is used in this research. With combinate shaving waste and palm bunch (0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25) as first factor and adhesive concentration such as 6, 8, and 10% as second factor with three time replication. Parameters were board density, moisture content, water absorption, thickness swelling, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, internal bond and wood screw holding power. The data were analyzed ANOVA, and if the significant differences occurred then continued with Polynomial Orthogonal Test. The result showed that shaving combine with palm empty bunches level significantly (P<0.05) affected moisture content, thickness swelling, wood screw holding power, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and internal bond. Adhesives level significantly (P<0.05) the board density, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and internal bond.

Judul: Theileriosis pada domba dan kambing akibat infeksi theileria ovis dan theileria hirci
Abstrak: Theileriosis adalah penyakit menular yang disebabkan Boleh protozoa dari genus Theileria dan ditularkan melalui vektor caplak. Theileria ovis dan Theileria hirci pernah dimasukkan dalam genus Gonderia sehingga penyakit yang disebabkan oleh penyakit ini mempunyai beberapa nama diantaranya Benign Ovine and Caprine Gonderiosis atau Benign Ovine and Caprine Theileriosis (disebabkan oleh infeksi Theile- ria ovis). Sedang yang disebabkan oleh infeksi Theileria hirci diberi nama Malignant Ovine and Caprine Gonderiosis Malignant Ovine and Caprine Theileriosis (Levine, 1961). Soulsby (1982) dan Jensen (1983), memasukkan Theileria hirci dan Theileria ovis dalam genus Theileria, famili Theileriidae, ordo Piroplasmida, subklas Piroplasmia dan dalam kelas Sporozoa. Menurut hasil pemeriksaan theileriosis pada domba dan kambing di Indonesia periode 1 April 1981 sampai 31 Maret 1982 di Propinsi Sumatera Barat di Daerah Tingkat II Pasaman Kecamatan Talamun ditemukan pada 2 ekor kambing kacang, Kecamatan Sungai Beremas ditemukan pada 3 ekor kambing kacang dan di Daerah Tingkat II Padang Pariaman, Kecamatan Pariaman ditemukan pada 1 ekor kambing kacang (Informasi Keswan, 1982). Daerah penyebaran Theileria ovis yang pernah dilapor- kan adalah Afrika Tengah, Afrika Barat, Afrika Timur, Afrika Selatan, Perancis, Jerman, Hongaria, Sardinia dan diduga India. Sedangkan penyebaran Theileria hirci meli- puti Afrika Utara, Eropa Selatan, Irak dan Turki. Bentuk Theileria ovis dan Theileria hirci pada domba dan kambing dalam eritrosit disebut piroplasma dan bentuk dalam limfosit disebut Koch bodies atau skizon. Bentuk dalam vektor caplak adalah zigot dan kinet. Di dalam eritrosit parasit ini mempunyai beberapa macam bentuk yaitu, bentuk bulat, oval, batang, bentuk buah pir atau koma dan bentuk seperti anaplasma. Bentuk dalam limfosit berupa skizon yang terdiri dari makroskizon dan mikroskizon. Penularan Theileria ovis dan Theileria hirci dari hewan satu ke hewan lain secara alam dilakukan oleh vektor caplak secara stage to stage. Vektor dari Theileria ovis adalah caplak dari genus Rhipicephalus, Dermacentor, Hae- mophysalis dan Ornithodorus. Sedangkan vektor dari Thei- leria hirci yaitu caplak dari genus Rhipicephalus dan di- duga Ornithodorus. Penularan secara buatan dapat dilakukan dengan cara mekanik (penyuntikan dengan aplikasi intravena, subkutan dan intraperitoneal)…dst
