Judul: Uji Klon dan Uji Kerapatan Kayu Jati Unggul Nusantara (JUN) Umur 45 Bulan di Kabupaten Purwakarta Jawa Barat
Abstrak: JUN (Jati Unggul Nusantara) diklaim memiliki sifat unggul cepat tumbuh. Informasi ilmiah tentang keragaan klon pada JUN belum banyak diekplorasi termasuk kualitas kayu yang masih belum banyak diketahui khususnya pada pertumbuhan awal. Oleh karena itu penelitian kaitannya dengan kedua hal tersebut perlu dilakukan khususnya untuk JUN umur 45 bulan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji kinerja 41 klon JUN termasuk menduga parameter genetic dan pengaruh microsite terhadap keragaan klon JUN dan menduga kerapatan kayu pada klon JUN dengan pertumbuhan terbaik dan terburuk. Penelitian uji klon JUN dilakukan di plot penelitian Purwakarta (Jawa Barat) menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RCBD) yang dilakukan pada 41 klon JUN dan 1 lot kontrol jati lokal asal benih yang ditanam pada 2 microsite dengan pemberian pupuk dan jarak tanam yang berbeda. Pengujian dilakukan dengan mengukur morfologi pertumbuhan pohon, kemampuan penetrasi menggunakan nalat Pylodin, dan kerapatan kayu pada pohon. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan daya sintas di lapangan memiliki nilai rata-rata yang tinggi (>90%). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai repeatability untuk diameter sebesar Rc 2 =0.62 dan untuk parameter tinggi yaitu Rc 2=0.70. Nilai korelasi genetik sebesar rG= 0.061 dan korelasi fenotipik rP=0.842. Microsite terbaik JUN umur 45 bulan adalah microsite 4 dengan jarak tanam 5 m x 2 m dan pupuk dasar 5 kg. Nilai estimasi perolehan genetik menunjukkan bahwa karakter tinggi dapat direkomendasikan sebagai karakter seleksi klon. Hasil penelitian juga melaporkan kerapatan kayu pada JUN umur 45 bulan belum stabil, sehingga belum bisa ditetapkan bahwa kecenderungan kerapatan kayu antara klon terbaik (superior) dan terburuk (inferior). Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh hubungan yang rendah antara kemampuan penetrasi dan kerapatan kayu pada kedua klon tersebut.

Judul: Uji Klon Jati Unggul Nusantara (JUN) Umur 30 Bulan Di Kabupaten Purwakarta, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Jati Unggul Nusantara (JUN) is known as commercial planting stock material that is vegetatively propagated by means of shoot cutting technique. JUN is claimed to be fast growing. However, scientific information on the growth of selected JUN clones from clonal tests is still lacking. The objective of the study were i) to review performance of 41 JUN clones, ii) to estimate their genetic parameters and iii) to assess the effect of microsites on tested JUN clones. Genetic assessment of JUN clones was carried out in Purwakarta, West Java in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) consisting of 41 clones. The clones were planted on 4 microsites that were differentiated by fertilizer doses and spacings. The results showed that generally survival rates were high (>90%). In addition, repeatability at 30 months after planting was about = 0.948 (diameter) and = 0.699 (height), respectively. While genetic and phenotypic correlations between diameter and height were rG=0.315 and rP=0.864, respectively. The best microsite supporting growth of JUN clones at 30 months was found on microsite 1, namely spacing 3 m x 4 m with 3 kg organic fertilizer, while the best straight stem form (around 45% of the population) was observed on microsite 2.

Judul: Tinjauan Matematis pada Model Makroskopik dan Mikroskopik Arus Lalu-lintas
Abstrak: Traffic flow phenomenon can be described through mathematical model such as continuous dynamic model with an ordinary differential equation so that it can be solved with integral factors. In this paper three simple models of traffic flow are discussed, i.e, two macroscopic and one microscopic models. Macroscopic model formulates dynamics of the traffic flow that occurs on a large number of vehicles on a road. While the microscopic model explains drivers’ behavior in their interaction with other vehicles ahead, i.e, car-following model. This paper shows the existence of ordinary differential equation found in the traffic flow model and indicates some different representations in the context of the same model. It also reviews a simple model of traffic flow along a single link, which leads to some unexpected results, i.e, it can express the solution model in term of link outflows as well as trip time. In the microscopic model, simulation is done to illustrate the behavior of the drivers with a sensitivity coefficient as a benchmark parameter.
