Judul: Suhu Sarang Rayap Tanah Coptotermes curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) di Dalam dan di Luar Ruangan
Abstrak: Rayap dikenal sebagai serangga perusak kayu maupun benda yang mengandung selulosa. Ukurannya yang kecil sekitar 5 hingga 6 millimeter. membuat rayap tidak begitu mudah terlihat. Selain itu, sifat rayap yang selalu sembunyi dari cahaya membuatnya tidak tampak dipermukaan. Untuk melindungi aktivitasnya dari cahaya langsung maka rayap membuat tunnel (liang kembara). Salah satu jenis rayap tanah yang memiliki intensitas serangan tinggi adalah Coptotermes curvignathus. Perkembangan hidup rayap juga dipengaruhi oleh faktor eksternal yaitu unsur cuaca, salah satunya suhu. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis suhu tunnel, suhu didalam sarang rayap tanah, dan suhu diluar sarang rayap tanah C. curvignathus baik di dalam dan di luar ruangan. Penelitian di dalam ruangan dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Rayap Departemen Hasil Hutan, Fakultas Kehutanan IPB dan di Laboratorium Pengeringan Kayu Kantor Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Keteknikan Kehutanan dan Pengolahan Hasil Hutan (Pustekolah). Sedangkan penelitian luar ruangan dilaksanakan di Arboretum (hutan kecil) Pustekolah. Data yang dianalisis adalah data suhu tunnel, suhu didalam sarang rayap tanah, dan suhu diluar sarang rayap tanah C. curvignathus menggunakan termokopel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa suhu tunnel rayap tanah C. curvignathus di dalam ruangan lebih rendah sekitar 0.7 ºC hingga 1 ºC dibanding suhu pada sarang rayap, dan suhu pada sarang rayap tanah C. curvignathus lebih hangat sekitar 0.3 ºC hingga 2 ºC dibanding suhu lingkungan tergantung pada bentuk ruangan tersebut. Pada penelitian di luar ruangan, nilai suhu yang didapatkan adalah suhu tunnel yang lebih rendah sekitar 1 ºC dibanding suhu lingkungan. Perbedaan suhu tunnel di dalam ruangan lebih hangat sekitar 0.8 ºC hingga 1.4 ºC dibanding suhu tunnel di luar ruangan, sedangkan perbedaan suhu lingkungan di dalam ruangan lebih hangat sekitar 0.2 ºC dibanding suhu lingkungan di luar ruangan karena dipengaruhi oleh salah satu bentuk bangunan pada penelitian di dalam ruangan.

Judul: Fluktuasi suhu Sarang Rayap Tanah Coptotermes curvignathus Holmgren (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae).
Abstrak: Termites were cryptobiotik and would create a tunnel for protecting their life. One of the external factors that influence the survival of termites is the temperature. Termites would always try to maintain the temperature of the nest in order to survive. The purpose of this study was to determine the insulating power of subterranean termites nest C. curvignathus to ambient temperature. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Forest Products Termite Bogor Agricultural University. The research analyzed light intensity, the temperature inside subterranean termites nest, inside and outside temperature of laboratory. Data were processed by Microsoft Excel. The observation showed that temperature alteration at each termite nest is relatively more stable than temperature alteration inside and outside the laboratory. It was determine based on value of the amplitude. The value of amplitude inside and outside laboratory respectively ranged from 0.084-1.011 and 0.187-16.512, while in the nest A ranged from 0-0.344 and nest B ranged from 0.01-1.072. One of the factors that affect the value of the ambient temperatur is the light intensity. Termites are able to maintain the temperature of the nest when the outside temperature was fluctuates. It showed the insulating power of subterranean termites nest to ambient temperature. The nest temperature was warmer, between 30.56 °C to 33.18 ° C.

Judul: Pengembangan distribusi ILOS multimedia (ILOSmedia)
Abstrak: The development of open source softwares is still going rapidly nowadays, including open source operating systems for desktop computer, netbook, tablet PC, and smartphone. The open source operating systems have considerable contribution to open source software. Linux is an open source operating system that continues to grow since 1991. The characteristics in general Linux are free, can be distributed freely, and free to make changes in it. Linux in its development is divided into several distributions. Each distribution is made as a specific goal so that the operating system can focus on running the desired functions, such as multimedia, networking, education, etc. The objective of of this research is to develop and evaluate the ILOS distribution for multimedia by providing multimedia of open source packages. ILOSmedia uses Ubuntu10.10 and Remastersys as a tool to remaster. ILOSmedia is developed by installing multimedia packages that have been obtained based on the results of questionnaires from 30 respondents from three communities, which are KPLI Bogor, Linux.com forums, and Kaskus.us forums. ILOSmedia also uses the Realtime kernel as kernal Mutimedia. ILOSmedia testing is performed by 11 students of Computer Science who are members of FOKERZ community. The testing process is performed by executing ILOSmedia via live-cd and filled in a questionnaire. The test result shows that ILOSmedia has hardware compatibility on notebook and PC with good performance. As much as 72.727% of respondents believe that the size of the installer ILOSmedia of 1.34 GB and a minimum 10GB hard drive is normal. ILOSmedia has multimedia packages complete with the percentage completeness according to respondents is 45.455% are very complete and 54.545% are complete. Boot speed ILOSmedia have an average of 28.87 seconds and 90.91% of respondents consider that ILOSmedia have a desktop environment that is easy navigation
