Judul: Perencanaan Bangunan Pelimpah pada Embung di Perkebunan Bungamayang PT. Perkebunan Nusantara VII
Abstrak: Pabrik Gula Bungamayang, PT. Perkebunan Nusantara VII is one of the sugar cane plantations that the fulfillment of water use reservoir. There’s problem at Petak 093 Afdeling in Rayon II, where the rain caused reservoir water runoff towards to the inspection so that the path becomes difficult pass. As for the goal of this research is planning a spillway of reservoir design so that the normal storage of reservoir constants. Generally, this research was divided into two steps there were preliminary research (flood discharge analysis) and primary research include the analysis of spillway and open channel. Based on observed and researched at Petak 093 Afdeling 09 Rayon II was gained the 25 years return period of flood discharge is 2.96 m3/s by means of used a double circular culvert each 0.80 m of diameter with a space of 0.40 m. Then the flow of water that pass through the culvert continued toward to the 1.85 m of open channel and 4.70 × 2.00 m of basin.

Judul: Kajian Dimensi Bangunan Spillway
Abstrak: Bangunan spillway merupakan bangunan hidrolika dari suatu bendungan yang berfungsi pada saat keadaan darurat (emergency), yaitu keadaan muka air pada saat volume tampungan banjir maksimum. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan kaji ulang bangunan spillway pada Bendungan Randugunting berdasarkan kajian terhadap desain existing bangunan spillway, debit rencana bangunan spillway, kedalaman aliran kritis, dan profil muka air bangunan spillway. Tipe bangunan spillway yang direncanakan adalah tipe side spillway dengan tipe mercu Ogee. Hasil analisis luas catchment area Sungai Banyuasin adalah 17.39 km2 dengan panjang sungai 8.52 km. Nilai curah hujan rencana dengan periode ulang 1000 tahun adalah sebesar 180.40 mm. Hasil analisis debit rencana metode rasional sebesar 124.07 m3/det, sedangkan dengan metode HSS Nakayasu distribusi hujan 2 jam sebesar 207.40 m3 /det. Kedalaman aliran kritis di atas mercu bendung bangunan spillway diperkirakan setinggi 1.39 m. Elevasi muka air pada saat banjir maksimum adalah 95.66 mdpl di atas mercu bendung spillway, 88.78 - 90.11 mdpl di segmen saluran samping, 88.23 - 88.78 mdpl di segmen saluran transisi, 61.34 - 88.62 mdpl di segmen saluran peluncur, dan 66.28 mdpl di segmen akhir peredam energi., Spillway is a hydraulics building of a dam that functions during an emergency, when the water level of the maximum flood storage volume. This study aims to review the spillway building on the Randugunting Dam based on a study of the existing design of the spillway building, the design discharge of the spillway building, the critical flow depth, and the water level profile of the spillway building. The planned type of spillway building is a side spillway type with an Ogee crest type. The analysis of Banyuasin River catchment area are 17.39 km2 with the river length of 8.52 km. The result of the planned rainfall with a return period of 1000 years is 180.40 mm. The result of discharge with rational method is 124.07 m3/s, while with the Nakayasu HSS method the 2-hour rain distribution is 207.40 m3/s. The critical depth above the weir crest is estimated to be 1.39 m. The maximum water level during flooding is 95.66 masl above the spillway weir crest, 88.78 - 90.11 masl in the side channel segment, 88.23 - 88.78 masl in the transition channel segment, 61.34 - 88.62 masl in the drop channel segment, and 66.28 masl in the stilling basin segment.

Judul: Distribution and Diversity of Ectoparasite Mites on Geckos in Indonesia
Abstrak: Data on the diversity and dispersal of parasitic mites on house geckos in Indonesia are very scarce. In this work, the distribution and diversity of mites living on three species of house geckos, namely Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, and H. garnotii collected throughout Indonesia, has been elaborated. Geckos and mites were captured and immediately preserved in 70% ethanol. Whole mount of the mites was prepared by clearing in lactophenol followed by mounting on polyvinyl lactophenol solutions. The SEM preparation was conducted to examine the detail morphological characters of the mites. The results showed that among 448 individuals of geckos, 221 geckos were infected by Geckobia mites. Prevalences of C. platyurus, H. frenatus, and H. garnotii infested by mites were 14.8%, 50.69%, and 79.6%, respectively. Three different spesies of Geckobia (G1, G2, and G3) could be differentiated; and based on similarities of their morphological characters to ones described in published literatures, Geckobia G2 is Geckobia glebosum and Geckobia G3 is Geckobia bataviensis while G1 could not be identified to the species level. The highest mean intensity of Geckobia G1 infestation was found on H. garnotii (I=7.0), G. glebosum infestation on H. frenatus (I=3.5), and G. bataviensis infestation on H. garnotii (I=11.8). In general, C. platyurus was infested by the least number of mites. Geckobia G1 were found living on the skin folds on the claws, G. glebosum were found mainly on the body and thigh, and G. bataviensis were found on almost all parts of the host’s body. Geckobia mites are distributed randomly throughout Indonesian Archipelago, following the pattern of distribution of their hosts. So it is concluded that Geckobia G1, G. glebosum, and G. bataviensis are sympatric.
