Judul: Dinamika Populasi Ulat Jengkal (Hypiosidra talaca) pada Tanaman Teh di PTP .Nusantara VIII Gunung Mas Bogor, Jawa Barat.
Abstrak: This study was conducted to determine the abundance of the population of Hyposidra talaca at PTP Nusantara VIII Gunung Mas. Hyposidra talaca is an important pest in tea plantations, because it could decrease the production of tea. Hyposidra talaca generally attacks young leaves and shoots, severe investation of this pest can cause heavy defoliation of leaves and shoots of the plant. The method used was direct observation in the field by observing the population Hyposidra talaca. Prior to this study a survey was conducted to ditermine the sites. The difference in Hyposidra talaca populutaion dynamics between two sites was studied. The population dynamics of these pests were recorded 8 times on each site. Nucleopolyhedrosis virus infected Hyposidra talaca were collected in the plastic cup. Infected larvae usually become soft and prior to death they climb to the top and hang on the tea leaves in an inverted V shape position. Dead larvae caused by other factors usually found in dry condition. The presence of other insects were observed and recorded and was collected using insect nets.

Abstrak: The objectives of this study is to understand the management of plant maintenance of tea plantation at PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII Gunung Mas and to propose an alternative pest control for tea looper (Hyposidra talaca) utilizing Hyposidra talaca Nucleopolyhedrovirus (HtNPV). The methods used were interviews, observation in the field, and the field efficacy test of HtNPV directly on tea plants. Tea plant maintenance activities include trimming, fertilizing, plucking, weed control, and pests-diseases management. Poor sanitary condition of tea plantation and the low human resources became limiting factors in the field. The most important pest at PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII Gunung Mas is tea looper (Hyposidra talaca) that feed on tea shoots and may reduce production to more than 40%. Alternative control measure for H. talaca using HtNPV can be carried out by spraying HtNPV suspension. Effective application of HtNPV was applied twice per week and were able to reduce the population of H. talaca to more than 50% within 7 days, and can reduce the population up to 100% within 11 days.

Judul: Construction of Strongly Optimal Binary Linear Code with Minimum Distance 9 and 11
Abstrak: A binary linear code of length n over q F is a subspace of n q F . A code has three parameters that attached to it, namely length, dimension, and minimum distance. A code with length n, dimension k and minimum distance d is often called [n, k, d ]-code. Usually, when two parameters are given, then we want to find a code that has the best value for the last parameter. Based on Gilbert- Varshamov bound, if a [n, k, d ]-code exists and can not be expanded, we call it a strongly optimal code. In this paper, we construct strongly optimal code with minimum distance 9 and 11. In constructing the code, we created a theorem and algorithm based on Gilbert-Varshamov bound before we implement the algorithm to MAPLE programming language. Because of computational limitations, the program can only construct up to k = 10 for d = 9 and k = 12 for d = 11.
