Judul: Pertumbuhan Tanaman Sengon Buto (Enterolobium cyclocarpum Griseb.) dengan Teknik Lateral Root Manipulation (LRM) di PT Cibaliung Sumberdaya, Banten
Abstrak: Mining activities have impacted to decrease soil productivity and soil compaction. Lateral Root Manipulation (LRM) is one technique that can be used overcome the stagnation of the plant. LRM technique is cutting off the lateral root. The purpose of this research to find the response from sengon buto in post gold mine land in PT Cibaliung Sumberdaya, Banten. This research was done by using the factorial randomized block design method with 3 factors. The first factor is lateral roots cutting, the second is root and microbe stimulant application, and the third is polymer fertilizing. The results indicate the treatment of lateral roots cutting by LRM technique, the root and microbe stimulant application, and fertilizing can stimulate the growth of stem diameter and height. The combination treatment of lateral roots cutting and root and microbe stimulant application is significant to diameter growth. Single method cutting lateral root is significant to height growth.

Abstrak: Sengon is a fast growing tree species that has good adaptation. But when the land have been compacted and densited, sengon shows dwarfed growth. A lateral root manipulation (LRM) is one of cultivating plants that can fix the growth of plants. The study is aimed to know the effect of LRM technique on the sengon improvment growth. The methodology applied the factorial randomized design method which have three factors. The first factor is to cut the lateral root, the second is to apply stimulantion on root and microbe, and the third is to fertilize periodic. The results show that combination cutting root and fertilize periodic without applying stimulantion on root and microbe increase height improved 10,45 cm per week and number of bud 10 peices per week. All treatments did not effect on the stem diameter. The variables of the treatment visualy dont changes significally color of leaf and new root growing. However, the treatment of cutting root can stimulate to grow a new root.

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.
