Judul: Pertumbuhan dan Produksi Kacang Bogor (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdcourt) dengan Pelbagai Dosis dan Cara Pemberian Pupuk Kandang Ayam
Abstrak: This research aimed to get optimal rate of manure and proper manure application to increase crop production of bambara groundnut. The research was conducted from February to June 2014 at IPB experimental field. The experiment used factorial in randomized complete block design with two factors and three replications. The first factor was rates of chicken manure with four i.e. 0, 5, 10, and 15 tons ha-1. The second factor was 2 application methods of manure i.e. spread over the soil surface and put in planting row. Growth and production of bambara groundnut was insignificantly affected by neither manure rates nor manure applicaton methods. Although there was not significant effect of manure rates, there was indication that the highest yield (number of pods per plant) of bambara groundnut could be achieved with the addition of 6.8 tons manure ha-1. Bambara groundnut crop were heavily infected by desease at 7 weeks after planting, this might have resulted in insignificant effect of treatments to all variables.

Abstrak: This research aimed to get optimal plant spacing and proper frequency in ridging to produce the best yields. This research was conducted in randomized complete block design factorial with two factors and three replications. The first factor is plant spacing which consist of six levels: 40 cm x 25 cm, 50 cm x 25 cm, 60 cm x 25 cm, 40 cm x 40 cm, 50 cm x 50 cm, and 60 cm x 60 cm. The second factor is ridging frequencies which consist of two levels: twice and three times ridging. The result of this research showed that plant spacing effected significantly the number of leaves, canopy width, leaf area index, plant dry weight per plant, pods wet weight per plant, pods dry weight per plant, seed weight per plant, number of filled pods per plant, number of harvested plant, pods wet weight plot, pods dry weight plot, and seed weight plot, whereas ridging frequency only effected significantly on plant dry weight per plant. Plant spacing 60 cm x 25 cm and 40 cm x 40 cm produced the best yields and suitable for use in plant cultivation.

Judul: Penggunaan Teorema Homeomorphy 2-Manifold dan Teorema Euler Poincare pada Torus 𝑇�� dan Simplicial Complex 𝐾��
Abstrak: Two dimensional topological spaces are said to be homeomorphic if they have the same topological invariant, where one of topological invariant used is an Euler characteristic. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem and Euler Poincare’s Theorem are used to distinguish two topological spaces. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem uses Euler characteristic to identify two dimensional topological spaces. Euler Poincare’s Theorem is an alternative way to find Euler characteristic with Betti number, which is topological invariant as well. The objective of this paper is to investigate the homeomorphism of torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾�����. Topological space torus and simplicial complex 𝐾����� have the same Euler characteristic, which is two. Based on Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem topological space torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾����� is homeomorphic.
