Judul: Rancang Bangun Modul Akuisisi Data Untuk Sistem Irigasi Otomatis Berbasis Mikrokontroler Arduino Duemilanove
Abstrak: This research is part of activities in IMHERE B2C IPB Strengthening Agricultural Research For Food Security And Sovereignty. Implementation of the research project will assess the Development of Automated Irrigation Systems For Food Production Land with research focus on the mechanism of data acquisition. Data acquisition is performed using the Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller. Arduino Duemilanove can perform data retrieval as well as having an ADC module, so as to facilitate the conversion of data from analog data into digital data. From the datasheet, ADC module on the Arduino Duemilanove has an error range of ± 2 LSB or ± 0.0092 V with a reference voltage of 4.67 V. In this experiment measurements obtained by the difference in value between the multimeter and the microcontroller of 0.00840 V, and the scores fall in the range of values of the ADC module conversion error. SD Memory Card can be selected as a data logger for managing data storage easily

Abstrak: Development of science and technology today make automatic control have important role. It gives us ease to get performance in dynamic system. Automatic control be able to less routine work that operator always do. Automatic control tools have many kinds. Microcontroller ATMega328P is a kind of automatic control. The function is control and record data then save it. Automatic pitcher irrigation system constructions consist on hardware and software. Hardware consist on water level sensor and soil moisture sensor series, microcontroller, stackable SD card shield, real time clock, relay, battery and solenoid valve. Software is a program for microcontroller that used C/C++ language. Each sensor will be calibrated before use. Daily high water level and soil moisture data was data obtained. The data was obtained each 5 minutes. Data in microcontroller was obtained by record data on memory that was set in microcontroller. Calibration results express that microcontroller capability in monitoring high water level and soil moisture has high accuracy. Determination Coefficient calibration equation from the sensor is 0.955 for high water level sensor and 0.887 for soil moisture sensor. Furthermore, set point for control high water level is 5 cm for bottom margin and 14 cm for top margin.

Judul: Prevalence of Bird Lice on Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia
Abstrak: Rock Pigeon (Columba livia) have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and are used for various purposes such as food and in sports. Rock pigeons may have the potential to be infested with a wide range of ectoparasites, which can have a significant impact on their life cycle. This study aims to measure the prevalence of Columba livia with bird lice in 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia in the year 2020 and to ascertain the impact of bird lice on the health of these infested birds. Data were collected from clinical records for the month of January to December in the year 2020 from 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Lice were identified in 42 of the 80 Rock pigeons examined so, the overall prevalence of lice infestations was 52.5%. The prevalence of ectoparasites was found to be higher in young Rock pigeons (60.4%) as compared to adult Rock pigeons (37.4%). Columbicola columbae (wing lice) and Colpocephalum turbinatum (body lice) are two species of lice that have been detected. Body lice were more prevalent in young Columba livia birds at 47.6% whereas wing lice were more prevalent in adult Columba livia birds at 16.7%. Most of the lice were found in the thorax and abdomen area followed by the head and neck area., Merpati Batu (Columba livia) telah hidup berdampingan dengan manusia selama ribuan tahun dan digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan seperti makanan dan olahraga. Merpati batu dapat terinfestasi dengan berbagai ektoparasit, yang dapat berdampak signifikan pada siklus hidup mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi Columba livia dengan kutu burung di 99 Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia pada tahun 2020 dan untuk memastikan dampaknya terhadap kesehatan burung yang terinfestasi. Data dikumpulkan dari catatan klinis dari bulan Januari hingga Desember tahun 2020 dari 99Wonderland Park, Selangor, Malaysia. Kutu diidentifikasi pada 42 dari 80 merpati batu yang diperiksa sehingga, prevalensi keseluruhan infestasi kutu adalah 52,5%. Prevalensi ektoparasit ditemukan lebih tinggi pada merpati batu muda (60,4%) dibandingkan dengan merpati batu dewasa (37,4%). Columbicola columbae (kutu sayap) dan Colpocephalum turbinatum (kutu badan) adalah dua spesies kutu yang telah ditemukan. Kutu badan lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia muda sebesar 47,6% sedangkan kutu sayap lebih banyak ditemukan pada burung Columba livia dewasa sebesar 16,7%. Sebagian besar kutu ditemukan di daerah dada dan abdomen diikuti daerah kepala dan leher.
