Judul: Pengukuran Daya Serap Karbon Dioksida Menggunakan Kurva Sinusoidal pada Tiga Jenis Bambu.
Abstrak: Climate change are an effect from increase CO2 level in the air which can be reduced by planting green plant that have higher affinity toward CO2 such as bamboo. This research counted how much CO2 absorption using sinusoidal equation at three bamboo species. Sample taken from Bambusa vulgaris, Gigantochloa apus and Gigantochloa robusta leaves that were young, mature, and old respectively. The amount of CO2 absorption by bamboo were comparable to carbohydrate mass formed during the process of photosynthesis which calculated by determining the carbohydrate using Cu-Nelson method. This research showed that the mass value of carbohydrates from three bamboo species exceeds the CO2 absorption from slow growing species and almost close to fast growing species. The three bamboo species can be optioned in climate change reduction efforts caused an increase CO2 level in the air.

Judul: Daya Rosot Karbondioksida oleh Beberapa Jenis Pohon di Kebun Raya Bogor
Abstrak: One of environment problem nowdays is global warming. Global warming is caused by increasing of temperature in urban area indirectly because increase of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere. Related on COP 15 about action from result of UNFCCC is to increase CDM system and Copenhagen Accord, then one of effort for decrease CO2 level in urban area is existence of urban forest. Urban forest is CO2 absorbent and has role to control value of CO2, because CO2 is raw material for photosynthesis. The purpose of this research is to determine of sink ability of plant at Bogor Botanical Garden. This research was done at Bogor Botanical Garden for take leaves from ten species and Balai Besar Bioteknologi dan Sumberdaya Genetika Pertanian for analysis of carbohydrate from July until August 2009 at 05.00 WIB; 12.00 WIB; 17.00 WIB; and 20.00 WIB. Tools and materials for this research is plastic, trash bag, camera digital, oven, digital scales, water bath, Cu, Nelson and Carbohydrate reagents, red phenol, aquades, and 10 species (Pterocarpus indicus, Saraca indica, Bauhinia variegata, Brownea hybrida, Eperua falcata, Endertia spectabilis, Dysoxylum cauliflorum, Eusideroxylon zwageri, Neonauclea glabra, dan Bhesa robusta). Mass of CO2 from all species (from 06.00 WIB until 18.00 WIB) are Pterocarpus indicus (14,253 gram), Saraca indica (16,669 gram), Bauhinia variegata (8,238 gram), Brownea hybrida (8,326 gram), Eperua falcata (8,044 gram), Endertia spectabilis (16,581 gram), Dysoxylum cauliflorum (8,479 gram), Eusideroxylon zwageri (15,223 gram), Neonauclea glabra ()15,767 gram, dan Bhesa robusta (9,972 gram). CO2 sink ability influenced by total number of leaves in the plant, then result of sink ability per plant are Pterocarpus indicus (0,456 ton/pohon/tahun), Saraca indica (3,412 ton/pohon/tahun), Bauhinia variegata (0,259 ton/pohon/tahun), Brownea hybrida (1,017 ton/pohon/tahun), Eperua falcata (0,711 ton/pohon/tahun), Endertia spectabilis (1,970 ton/pohon/tahun), Dysoxylum cauliflorum (0,876 ton/pohon/tahun), Eusideroxylon zwageri (31,692 ton/pohon/tahun), Neonauclea glabra (3,460 ton/pohon/tahun), dan Bhesa robusta (1,608 ton/pohon/tahun). Sink ability of all plants consecutive are E.zwageri, N.glabra, S.indica, E.spectabilis, B.robusta, D.cauliflorum, B.hybrida, P.indicus, E.falcata, dan B.variegata.

Judul: Pengujian Virus Newcastle Disease Gen VII Isolat Lapang Sebagai Virus Standar Pada Uji Tantang Vaksin
Abstrak: This study was conducted to determine the standard of Newcastle disease virus Gene VII field isolate as a virus challenge to vaccine test. A virus suspension that has previously been tested by HA test then titrated with EID50 using 30 Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) of 10 day old chicken embryonated eggs. In addition, chicken lethal dose50 (CLD50) test were used to determine the virus titer that could cause 50% death of the chicken population. The CLD50 test was used 25 day-old-chickens (DOC) divided into 5 groups. The virus was diluted from 10-1 to 10-8. The 104 to 10-8 dilution of NDV was infected to every group of chicken via eyedrop and intranasal with 0.1 ml/chicken dosage. Haemagglutination test showed that the allantoic fluid were contain high titers of NDV is 512 HAU. The infective NDV that had been titrated by EID50 test showed the virus titers is 109 EID50/0.1 ml or 1010 EID50/ml and the virus titers of CLD50 test e.i 106.48 CLD50/0.1 ml or 107.48 CLD50/ml. These results can be concluded that the NDV Gene VII field isolates were most appropriate to be used as a standard virus to vaccine test
