Judul: Variasi Genetik dan Teknik Perbanyakan Vegetatif Cemara Sumatra (Taxus sumatrana)
Abstrak: Genetic diversity and vegetatif propagation technique for Sumatran yew (Taxus sumatrana) are little known and could be useful for the management of this long-lived species either for conservation, habitat restoration or production of paclitaxel (Taxol® ), a promising anti-cancer agent. The objective of this research were: 1) To estimate genetic variation of Sumatran yew from three reproductive population (mother tree, planted tree in Cibodas Botanical Garden and natural seedling) using RAPD marker that is important in formulating appropriate conservation strategies for the species; and 2) To find out suitable rooting medium in propagating Sumatran yew vegetatively. In this study, the genetic diversity was estimated based on Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Of the 28 universal primers screened, six produced polymorphic and clear RAPD bands. The result also showed that there was a relatively high genetic diversity within population with the percentage of polymorphic band (PPB) ranging from 45,8% – 83,33% with an average 69,43% and Nei’s genetic diversity index (He) of 0,2346, and moderate genetic differentiation among population (GST = 0,2892 ). The high genetic diversity found on population of Sumatran yew may result from their life history characteristic as an outcrossing, widespread distribution, wind-pollinated, animal digested seed and long-lived woody species. Results from shoot cutting experiment using three different rooting media showed that rooting ability was significantly affected by the medium. Among the three media tested, combination of cocodust and rice husk at the ratio 2:1 (v/v) gave the best result in rooting ability (66,7%).

Judul: Teknik Perbanyakan dan Kekerabatan Genetik Pasak Bumi (Eurycoma longifolia Jack)
Abstrak: Pasak bumi (Eurycoma longifolia Jack) is a shrubs growing wildly in the forests of Southeast Asia and widely used throughout the region because of its medicinal properties. Uncontrolled harvesting of wild-grown trees has led to rapid decrease of natural populations, as well as causing a potential decrease in genetic diversity. The objectives of this research were 1). To get information about propagation technique of pasak bumi by seed and stem cutting and its suitable growing medium and 2). To estimate genetic relatedness of pasak bumi propagated by seed collected from Jambi using RAPD marker. Propagation by seed produced low germination percentage (14-34%) at different media. Seedling planted in pure carbonized rice husk medium produced the best growth variabel on vigority, primary root number, secondary root number, primary root length and secondary root length. Result from stem cutting showed that medium significantly improved secondary root length, while rooting percentage, primary root length and the number of root significantly was affected by Rootone F treatment. Genetic relatedness by RAPD marker showed that pasak bumi propagated by seed has high value of genetic diversity within population (He = 0,3076) and 78,57% all the loci tested were polimorphic, clustering analysis showed that the plant can be grouped into two group.

Judul: Formulasi Hamilton Untuk Menggambarkan Deformasi Gelombang Soliter Dengan Dasar Tidak Rata Pada Fluida Dua Lapisan
Abstrak: Gelombang internal adalah suatu gelombang yang muncul di bawah permukaan laut sehingga gelombang ini tidak teramati secara kasat mata. Formulasi Hamilton dirumuskan untuk menjelaskan gerak gelombang ini. Dalam hal ini diasumsikan bahwa fluida yang ditinjau terdiri atas dua lapisan dengan masing-masing lapisan memiliki rapat massa yang konstan. Selain itu, diasumsikan pula fluida yang ditinjau berupa fluida tak mampat (incompressible) dan tak kental (invicid). Formulasi Hamilton dilakukan dengan meninjau fluida dua lapisan yang berada pada domain yang dibatasi oleh batas atas yang rata dan batas bawah yang tidak rata. Hamilton (energi total)-nya didefinisikan sebagai penjumlahan antara energi kinetik dan energi potensialnya. Karena energi kinetik tidak secara eksplisit dinyatakan dalam peubah fisis, maka digunakan metode asimtotik untuk menentukan energi totalnya. Dalam hal ini diasumsikan bahwa gelombang interfacial yang ditinjau cukup panjang, dan amplitudo yang cukup kecil. Persamaan Korteweg de- Vries (KdV) diperoleh, jika disumsikan bahwa gelombang interfacial hanya merambat pada satu arah, sedangkan jika gelombang tersebut merambat ke dua arah, diperoleh persamaan Boussinesq.
