Judul: Akumulasi Logam Berat Timbal (Pb) dan Cadmium (Cd) pada Pohon Mangrove (Avicennia marina) di Perairan Karangsong, Indramayu.
Abstrak: Mangroves are known to have the ability to absorb and store heavy metals and other contaminants in the body tissues such as leaf and root. This research was carried out in January-March 2013 with the aim to find out the levels of heavy metals Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) in root and leaf of Avicennia marina, as well as sediments in Karangsong waters, Indramayu. Sampling a root, leave, and sediments was repeated 3 times each. The results showed that levels of Pb in Avicennia marina already passed over the limit of tolerance concentration for plants, whereas the levels of Cd was below detection limit Based on the results, it can be seen Avicennia marina has a low level of bioconcentration factor (BCF), it means that Avicennia marina has a low capability to accumulate heavy metals. Meanwhile the value of translocation factor (TF) is high, mean Avicennia marina has high mobilization from roots to leaves. Based on the findings, it is strongly recommended to control pollutants falling into the aquatic environment, and to enhance mangrove rehabilitation program for ecological and economical function

Judul: Akumulasi Logam Berat Tembaga (Cu) dan Timbal (Pb) pada Pohon Mangrove (Rhizopora mucronata) di Perairan Karangsong, Indramayu.
Abstrak: Mangrove has many economical and ecological functions, one of its abilities is to absorb, transport and store substances including toxic materials. This research aim is to analyze the concentration of Cu and Pb in root, leave and substrat of mangrove Rhizopora mucronata and its bioaccumulation level. The concentration of Cu found in sediment exceed standar quality by RNO, which means the sediment has been contaminated by Cu. The content of Cu in the roots and leaves of mangrove is greater than Pb, so does the highest level of bioconcentration factor (BCF) was reached by BCF Pb in root at 1.3116 while BCF Cu in roots at 0,5609. This indicates that the potention of accumulation of roots is much higher than the leaves. The highest Translocation Factor (TF) was attained by Pb which is 0.4075 and the lowest is 0.3341 in Cu. Metal translocation from roots to leaves for essential metals (Cu) is lower than in non-essential metals (Pb), it shows that the mangrove use Cu for metabolic activity and growth. The ability of mangrove in accumulating this metals are still low in category according to Concentration Factor Index.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
