Judul: Pendugaan kehilangan air melalui perhitungan neraca air serta analisis pertumbuhan tanaman kentang (Solanum tuberosum L.)
Abstrak: The growth and the production of a plant are determined by favourable environment. Soil is water reservoir and planting area for which the capability to keep the water in the soil will determine the total water that can be used for the plant. Water availability in the soil is used by the plant to fullfil plant’s water requirement such actual evapotranspiration and runoff which can be calculated by using the water balance. The objective of this research is to calculate the potato water loss during the measurement through the water balance and to analyse the effect on potato growth. The result of this research shows that the potato water loss (actual evapotranspiration and runoff) during measurement on 37 days until 73 days after planting is 148-191 mm or 4.6 mm/days, whereas the run off is 28-59 mm or 19-30 % from total water loss potato. The relations between soil water content and the growth rate in each treatment has a different disposed. When the storage of soil water content is high, the growth rate is uncertainly high, and vice versa. The growth rate is of the potato in this research not only influenced by soil water content, but also influenced by other factors that are not observed in this research.

Judul: Water use for potato plant (Solanum tuberosum, L) using aeroponics system
Abstrak: Aeroponics is one solution to overcome the limitations of agricultural area. Aeroponics sytem has many advantages, one of them is the water usage efficiency. This study was conducted to calculate the water losses on potato plant using two lighting period treatments; 12 hours and 24 hours. The water losses from the 12 hours lighting period is about 0.12 mm/day, while the 24 hours loss 0.14 mm/day. The room temperature during the observation ranged from 19.00 C to 22.90 C. The measured temperature within 24 hours was 20.00 C–26.50 C. The low humidity affect the plant growth caused death of the plant. Air humidity that is measured within 24 hours was approximately 50%.

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.
