Judul: Survei Trips dan Cendawan Entomopatogen pada Tanaman Krisan di Perusahaan Bunga Potong Natalia Nursery
Abstrak: Thrips have been considered as one of important pests on high economical valued plants, such as ornamental plants, fruits, and vegetables. One of species thrips that attack chrysanthemum was Trips parvispinus. Thrips cause damage to the affected plants. One of the natural enemies for thrips is entomopathogenic fungi. This study aims was to determine species diversity and population thrips on chrysanthemum plants, as well as the presence of entomopathogenic fungi. Thrips populations on flower were counted by tapping at top part of flowers on the white trays. Sampled thrips were put on 70% alcohol on eppendorf tube. Squash mounted microscope were made to determine entomophthoralean fungi on thrips. Thrips species which found were Frankliniella intonsa and Thrips parvispinus. Fungus infected thrips were founded during observation.

Abstrak: Rose and chrysanthemum are two of the ornamental plants that have a high economic value in Indonesia. Thrips and aphid are important pests of these plants. Entomophthoralean fungus and nematode are potential biological control agents of thrips and aphid. There are no many reports of this fungus in Indonesia. The objective of this research was to explore Entomophthoralean fungus and nematode on both thrips and aphids at both roses and chrysanthemums in Indonesian Ornamental Crops Research Institute (Balithi). The research was conducted from March 2012 to June 2012. Thrips and aphids were sampled from three blocks for each plant. Numbers of sampled plants for each block were 10 plants selected randomly. Thrips were sampled at one flower on each plant. Both thrips and aphid samples were put on alcohol 70% for the next experiment. Microscope slide squash mounts in lactophenol cotton blue were made for both thrips and aphids and each sampled insect was examined with a microscope to determine if secondary conidia, hyphal bodies, primary conidia, conidiophores, and resting spores were present. Primary conida, secondary conidia, and hyphal bodies are development stages of fungus were found in thrips. Primary conidia, conidiophores and hyphal bodies were found in aphid. Thrips populations on rose and chrysanthemum were not significantly different. However, fungus infection levels on thrips and aphid showed significant differences. During examination, nematodes were found in thrips on both roses and chrysanthemums. Nematode infection levels in thrips on roses were higher than those on chrysanthemums.

Judul: Formulasi Lagrange untuk Menggambarkan Gerak Gelombang Soliter Internal pada Laut Dalam
Abstrak: Gelombang internal adalah gelombang yang terjadi di bawah permukaan laut sehingga tidak teramati secara kasat mata. Keberadaan gelombang internal disebabkan oleh perbedaan rapat massa air laut di setiap lapisan. Sama seperti gelombang permukaan air yang merupakan gelombang pada batas antara dua fluida dengan rapat massa yang berbeda, yaitu air dan udara, gelombang internal merupakan gelombang pada batas antara dua lapisan air dengan rapat massa berbeda. Dalam penelitian ini, diturunkan persamaan gerak gelombang internal pada laut dalam untuk aliran yang tidak tunak. Secara khusus dikaji gelombang soliter internal, yaitu gelombang internal yang merambat tanpa mengalami perubahan bentuk dan kecepatan. Gelombang soliter internal terditeksi melalui pola gelap terang yang teratur di permukaan laut. Penurunan persamaan gerak gelombang internal dilakukan dengan menggunakan formulasi Lagrange. Penurunan ini bermula dari persamaan dasar fluida ideal untuk aliran yang tidak tunak, yang diformulasikan dalam peubah Lagrange. Dengan menggunakan metode asimtotik, pada orde yang terendah diperoleh persamaan Benjamin-Ono (BO) untuk kedalaman yang cukup besar. Selanjutnya dibahas penyelesaian persamaan BO dalam bentuk khusus, yaitu yang berupa gelombang soliter. Rumusan gelombang soliter persamaan BO digunakan untuk mengkaji gerak gelombang soliter pada fluida dua lapisan untuk laut dalam. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah profil gelombang soliter pada setiap lapisan. Gelombang soliter internal yang memiliki amplitudo terbesar dicapai pada batas antara kedua lapisan fluida, sedangkan di permukaan gelombang relatif kecil.
