Judul: Kekuatan sambungan baut double shear berpelat sisi baja pada kayu Sengon, Bintangur dan Kapur menurut berbagai sesaran
Abstrak: INTRODUCTION : Wood as raw material needs continue to increase for various purposes. Similarly, for component building materials or construction materials. As a construction materials, wood has been known to the public long before the public to use concrete or steel. In use as building construction materials, wood should be able to withstand various kinds of expenses in the period planned and have sufficient durability and has a cross-sectional size or length of span in accordance with the planning. Cross-sectional size or long span timber in accordance with the plans for building construction is very difficult to obtain. This is because of the limited size of available timber in the market so it needs a connection. MATERIAL AND METHOD : The main material used is wood sorts Sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria (L). Nielsen), Bintangur (Calophyllum inophyllum L.) and Kapur (Dryobalanops sp.), bolts and steel plates. Wood used as a mechanical connection that unites steel plate with wood screws that penetrate the system using the plate-wood-plate which is the tightened with a nut for strong connection strength is based on ASTM D5652-95 with a direction perpendicular to the bolt load. Other properties tested were water content, density and maximum compressive strength parallel to grain. Tests physical properties following the ASTM D143-94, while the mechanical properties following the BS-373 1957. RESULT : Double-shear strength bolt connection between the wood with steel plates in general are influenced by density of wood. The higher value density then the value of the power connection (which is expressed with the total load) and the value of load per bolt will be higher as well. Total expenses will increase with the number of bolts except from 6 to 8 pieces,while the load per bolt is not affected by the number of bolts. Total load and load per bolt tends to increase with increasing bolt diameter from 6.4 mm to 7.9 mm,but decreases when the diameter increased to 9.4 mm bolts.

Judul: Design of Wood Connection Strength Using Double Shear Steel Side Plates with Bolt in Five Indonesian Wood Species
Abstrak: This study aims to analyze the effect of diameter and the number of bolts for double shear wood connection to lateral design value. Five Indonesian wood species namely sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria), nangka (Artocarpus sp), punak (Tetramerista glabra), kapur (Dryobalanops sp), and bangkirai (Shorea laevifolia) were analyzed their mechanical and physical properties before treatments. The sample (6 cm x12 cm x30 cm) was connected using double shear connection which use several diameter of bolts (6.4 mm, 7.9 mm and 9.4 mm) and number of bolts (4, 6, 8 and 10 bolts). The result showed that there is significant different of lateral design value in double shear connection by specific gravity of woods where the wood with high specific gravity have a high lateral design value. There is significant different of lateral design value in double shear wood connection by number of bolts where lateral design value of wood connection tended decreases. Emperical test to double shear wood connections showed that the Indonesian wood species have lateral design value for displacement 1.5 mm (Indonesian standard) and 5.0 mm higher than reference lateral design value of Indonesian wood species for sengon, but it’s lower for other species. Reference lateral design value of Indonesian wood is higher than references lateral design value of NDS 2005 for bolt 6.4 mm, but it’s lower for bolts 7.9 and 9.4 mm.

Judul: Leukemia pada kucing
Abstrak: Leukemia pada kucing adalah suatu penyakit yang sangat patogen, disebabkan oleh sejenis virus. Virus ini dikenal sebagai Feline Leukemia Virus atau FeLV. FeLV ini oleh beberapa ahli dikatakan hanya bersifat ganas pada hewan kucing. Penularannya bisa secara horizontal maupun congenital. Kucing pada semua tingkat umur dapat terserang oleh FeLV ini. Khusus pada bentuk "thymic leukemia", virus ini hanya menyerang anak-anak kucing berumur diba- wah 1 tahun. Kucing-kucing liar atau yang tidak terpeli- hara jarang sekali terinfeksi FeLV. Selain dari serangan virus FeLV itu sendiri, maka penyakit leukemia ini bisa disebabkan oleh beberapa fak- tor yang sudah ada dalam tubuh hewan dan sangat menunjang perkembangan penyakit ini, yaitu antara lain tumor, agen toksik, cedera oleh kecelakaan dan gangguan hemopoiesis. FeLV menyerang sel-sel darah dalam tubuh hewan se- hingga pembentukan darah berjalan tidak normal. Terlihat sel-sel darah yang belum dewasa sudah beredar dalam sir- kulasi darah. Bentuk dan jumlahnya tidak lagi seimbang dalam tubuh hewan kucing tersebut. Gejala klinis antara lain kekurusan, ikterus, anemia, lemah, anoreksia, dyspnoe, sulit menelan, batuk, dan membran mukosa pucat. Selain itu kelenjar pertahanan tubuh juga membengkak, kemudian terjadi hepatomegali, spleenomegali dan pembengkakan pada ginjal. Terbentuk massa tumor pada beberapa tempat. Secara biopsy pada sumsum tulang akan terlihat be- berapa perubahan. Sumsum tulang berwarna merah tua atau abu-abu. Konsistensinya lunak dan terdapat banyak sekali memproduksi sel darah putih. Melalui gambaran darah leukemia ini lebih mudah didiagnosa. Jumlah retikulosit rendah sekali. PCV 8-15%, hemoglobin menurun, sel darah putih (WBC) meningkat, lim- fosit meningkat, Alfaglobulin juga ada peningkatan, dan banyak eosinofil yang belum dewasa beredar dalam darah…dst
