Judul: Karakterisasi Dan Analisis Kandungan Nitrat Tanaman Pakis Sayur (Pleocnemia irregularis (C. Presl) Holttum) Di Kecamatan Dramaga, Bogor
Abstrak: The aimed of the study was to characterizing and learning the differences of Pleocnemia irregularis character in three different places at Dramaga and to analize nitrate content of edible part from Pleocnemia irregularis. The research was conducted from October 2009 to March 2010 at Arboretum of Forestry Faculty, Bogor Agricultural University (Arboretum Fahutan) as the first place and Dramaga Research Forest of Bogor Research Centre and Forest Concervacy for the second and third places (CIFOR 1 and CIFOR 2). The result showed that there are no differences of qualitative character among those three location. Based on quantitave character, P. irregularis at CIFOR 2 is the smallest than the other location. The nitrate content of edible part P. irregularis at all of tested locations are under the safe limit of Acceptable Daily Intake for human with 60 kg of body weight and 100 g per day consumption. The harvest intensity of Arboretum Fahutan are the fastest (4.13 week/ harvest) without differences in percentage of edible part among locations.

Judul: Analysis Biological and Chemical Characteristics of Soil in Several Types Land Use in Bogor Regency
Abstrak: Penggunaan lahan di Kabupaten Bogor memiliki vegetasi beragam dan karakteristik tanah berbeda. Karakteristik tanah memiliki pengaruh terhadap pengelolaan lahan. Keberadaan mikrob tanah dapat digunakan sebagai bioindikator kesuburan tanah. Kesuburan tanah dihasilkan oleh interaksi sifat fisik, kimia, dan biologi tanah. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui karakteristik sifat biologi dan kimia tanah pada berbagai tipe penggunaan lahan di Kabupaten Bogor. Pengambilan sampel tanah dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode purposive random sampling dengan 5 kali ulangan. Lokasi penelitian meliputi delapan penggunaan lahan yaitu kebun bambu, kebun jabon, kebun sengon, kebun lamtorogung, tegalan, tanaman sereh wangi, kebun buah naga, dan kebun pisang. Hasil analisis menunjukkan lahan pisang dan buah naga memiliki kadar C-organik, N-total tertinggi dan populasi fungi tertinggi yaitu 3,78 x 105 CFU/gram. Sedangkan pada lahan di Kecamatan Jasinga yang memiliki hara dan populasi fungi yang cukup dan populasi Azotobacter tertinggi yaitu pada lahan lamtorogung dapat diusahakan untuk tanaman perkebunan yang lebih memiliki nilai jual lebih tinggi seperti pada lahan tegalan dapat ditanami pohon karet, kelapa sawit, atau kakao., Land use in Bogor Regency has diverse vegetation and different soil characteristics. Soil characteristics have an influence on land management. The presence of soil microbes can be used as bioindicators of soil fertility. Soil fertility is produced by the interaction of physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. This study aims to determine the characteristics of the biological and chemical properties of soil in various types of land use in Bogor Regency. Soil sampling using the purposive random sampling method with 5 repeats. The research location includes eight land uses, namely bamboo, jabon, sengon, lamtorogung gardens, moorings, fragrant lemongrass plants, dragon fruit orchards, and banana gardens. The results of the analysis showed that banana and dragon fruit fields had the highest C-organic, N-total levels and the highest fungi population of 3,78 x 105 CFU/gram. Meanwhile, on land in Jasinga District which has sufficient nutrients and fungi populations and the highest Azotobacter population, namely on lamtorogung land, it can be cultivated for plantation crops that have a higher selling value, such as in moorlands that can be planted with rubber trees, oil palm, or cocoa.

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.
