Judul: Inventarisasi dan identifikasi tungau ektoparasit pada cicak di Bogor
Abstrak: Organisme ektoparasit yaitu organisme yang hidup di permukaan tubuh inangnya, menghisap darah atau memakan rambut, kulit, atau sekresi kulit. Ahli parasit reptilia menemukan tempat perkembangbiakan ektoparasit pada reptilia, namun informasi mengenai tungau ektoparasit pada anggota reptilia khususnya cicak di Indonesia belum ada. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pertama di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginventarisasi dan mengidentifikasi tungau ektoparasit yang menginfestasi cicak di wilayah Bogor. Cicak dikoleksi di wilayah Bogor Tengah dan Bogor Barat dengan menggunakan metode road sampling. Tungau ektoparasit diambil menggunakan sonde kemudian diawetkan dalam alkohol 70%. Pembuatan preparat tungau menggunakan metode sediaan utuh dan preparat tungau dijernihkan di laktofenol. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tungau ektoparasit melekat di bagian kepala, ketiak, jari depan, dan belakang, pangkal paha, ekor badan dan telinga cicak Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, dan Hemidactylus garnotii. Tungau tersebut berwarna jingga tua ketika ditemukan di beberapa bagian tubuh cicak. Ciri dari tungau tersebut yaitu memiliki skutum dorsal tubuh dan banyak rambutrambut pendek di bagian dorsal tubuh.Tungau tersebut termasuk dalam Famili Pterygosomatidae, Genus Geckobia. Infestasi tungau tertinggi pada C. platyurus yaitu di bagian telinga (49 tungau), sedangkan pada H. frenatus (191 tungau) dan H. garnotii (10 tungau) adalah di jari belakang. Nilai tertinggi rataan infestasi tungau tiap cicak ada pada H. frenatus (18.2).

Judul: Inventarisasi dan Identifikasi Tungau Ektoparasit pada Cicak di Kabupaten Cianjur
Abstrak: Ectoparasite mites are parasitic organisms that live on the surface of the host, sucking the blood or feed on hair, fur, skin, or skin secretions. This research aim to inventarisation and identification of mites ectoparasites on gecko in Cianjur areas. The research was conducted from January 2012 until July 2012. Gecko and mites were collected and preserved in 70% alcohol. Whole mount of the mites was prepared used polyvinyl alcohol media. The result showed that there are three species of gecko (Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, and Gehyra mutilata) was infested by Geckobia mites. There are new seven spesies of Geckobia (G4, G5, G6, G7, G10, G11, and G12). Analysis of the presence of mites done by calculate the value of prevalence (P), the average intensity of infestation (I), and the total intensity (It). The prevalence in C. Platyurus gecko (P = 74.38%) is higher than G. mutilata (P = 50%), and H. frenatus (P = 33.33%), while the average infestation intensity (I) and total intensity (It) is the highest found in G. mutilata (I = 10 and It = 11). Geckobia G4 and Geckobia G10 were found only on C. platyurus; Geckobia G5 and Geckobia G12 were found on C. platyurus and G. mutilata; Geckobia G6 were found on whole infected gecko; Geckobia G7 were found on C. platyurus and H. frenatus; and Geckobia G11 were found on H. frenatus and G. mutilata. So it is concluded that the new seven species mites has not a specific distribution pattern of their hosts.

Judul: Hamiltonian formulation for linear waves motion in two layers fluid
Abstrak: The surface wave could be considered as a wave that separates two fluids, namely water and air. Based on this assumption, it is introduced the interfacial wave, a wave between two layers of fluid with different density. The formulation of interfacial waves motion begins with deriving the base equation of irrotational ideal fluid. Furthermore, according to irrotational fluid assumption, the base equation can be stated in velocity potential. In this derivation, the fluids domain is assumed to be restricted by rigid lid boundary conditions, both at the upper and lower limit. Therefore, the interfacial waves motion can be explained in a hamiltonian formulation. In the hamiltonian formulation, total energy is defined as the sum of kinetic and potential energy. The hamiltonian system is obtained from reduction of kinetic energy by using the Dirichlet Neumann Operator. The resulted kinetic energy equation is nonlinear. Therefore, this form is linearized by first part of the Taylor expansion. This linearization gives a dispersion relation of linear wave. Based on this dispersion relation, the phase speed of the linear wave depends on the density ratio of the two layers fluid.
