Judul: Sifat Fisis, Sifat Mekanis, dan Sifat Finishing Kayu Mindi (Melia azedarach L.) setelah Perlakuan Pemanasan
Abstrak: Mindi (Melia azedarach L.) is a fast-growing wood species which is quite prospective for wood industry but it should be supported with proper technology application to produce good quality wood products. This research was done to evaluate the effect of heating treatment with various times and temperatures on the physical, mechanical, and finishing properties of mindi wood. Wood heating in oven and oil were at temperatures of 120 °C, 150 °C, and 180 °C for 2, 5, and 8 hours. The results showed that the heating wood in various conditions increased wood dimensional stability in both tangensial and radial directions. The moisture content, density, and dimensional stability of wood heated in oil were better than those heated in oven. Heating at 180 °C reduced the mechanical properties of mindi wood. The finishing test with cross cut methode showed that the oven heating did not affect finishing quality, except the 8 hours oil heating at 180 °C that reduced the finishing quality.

Judul: Ketahanan Kayu Mindi (Melia azedarach L.) Dari Rayap Kayu Kering Cryptotermes cynocephalus setelah Perlakuan Pemanasan
Abstrak: This research aimed to analysist the effect of heat treatment on the resistance of mindi (Melia azedarach L.) wood from dry wood termites (Cryptotermes cynocephalus). This research utilized mindi wood obtained from five years old tree from Malimping, Banten. The durability evaluation on mindi wood againts the dry wood termites is based on SNI 01.7207-2006. The result of this research showed that the heating treatments in oven and oil increased the durability of mindi woods. Based on the weight loss analyses, mindi wood that heated at 150 °C for 8 hours in oil increased their durability class from III to II. Statistical test results obtained showed that factors significantly influence weight loss and mortality due to dry wood termite attack is the interaction of temperature, time, and type of heating. Based on the analysis of the combination weight loss and mortality increase in the durability of the real Mindi wood and most effectively produced by heating oil 150 ˚ C for 8 hours while the wood oven heating temperature of 150 ˚ C requires 5 hours resulted in 99.8% mortality and weight loss amounted to 5.15%.

Judul: Penyakit transmissible gastroenteritas oleh virus corona pada babi
Abstrak: Trasnmissible Gastroenteritis pada babi oleh virus merupakan penyakit infeksius yang ditemukan pertama kali oleh Doyle dan Hutchings tahun 1946 di Indiana USA. Sehubungan dengan tingginya mortalitas akibat pe- nyakit TGE pada anak-anak babi serta kerugian yang beru- pa penurunan berat badan secara drastis pada babi yang dewasa, maka perlu kiranya penyakit ini diperhitungkan bagi suatu usaha peternakan. Walaupun di Indonesia be- lum dilaporkan kejadian penyakit tersebut, tetapi kita perlu waspada terhadap kemungkinan masuknya penyakit bersama dengan babi-babi import yang banyak dijumpai di- peternakan besar di Indonesia. ...
