Abstrak: Sentinel-1 sensor capable to provide temporally dense and open access data is a candidate platform for rice monitoring. The objective of this study was to exploit Sentinel-1 C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) multitemporal imagery to detect and to map rice cropping areas of Cianjur, Indonesia, through (1) learning backscattering behavior over rice fields; and (2) generating rice area maps via several thresholding combinations. Layer manipulation (r.series aggregate operation) and RGB false-color composite images were constructed to better visualize the separability of rice areas among other types of land utilization. The result shows an averaged accuracy of about 82% with the highest accuracy of 85.6% using maximum and minimum backscatter coefficient thresholds on VH polarization. It is, therefore, concluded that a simple, straightforward approach could be beneficial for a specific task while minimizing the computational burden for further broad-scale implementation.

Abstrak: Food problems in Indonesia cannot be avoided, although Indonesia is often referred to as an agricultural country where predominant livelihood is farming. As a matter of fact, there are still a lot of food shortages along increasing number of inhabitants. Rice is the main staple food in Indonesia, therefore monitoring rice field is important information for better agricultural planning. Monitoring with optical remote sensing would be on stake for Indonesia or tropical regions considering high cloud cover. SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) provides an alternative in the provision of data for such purposes, especially with polarization technology. As a system that has its own energy source, irrespective to source of solar energy, a SAR system can operate day and night in virtually all weather conditions, because microwaves can penetrate clouds, smoke and rain. This property is very useful for time sensitive applications such as sensing of agricultural crops or natural disasters. Earlier studies primarily focused on the use of backscatter data. Further development of the SAR technology allows analysis of fully polarization SAR data, which are generally more complex than backscattering-based analysis. Fully polarization SAR analysis procedures that are currently inviting attention is the polarimetric decomposition. This study discusses an application of the Cloude-Pottier decomposition theory in assessment of growth phase of Ciherang rice. Using this theory, a complex fully polarimetric data can be converted into three units of analysis, i.e. Entropy (H), Alpha Angle (􀄮) and Anisotropy (A). In this study, blocks of rice cultivation owned by PT. Sang Hyang Seri, provided major field information for detailed analysis. This research indicated that the Cloude-Pottier decomposition theory was able to describe characteristics of different levels of rice growth. The analysis showed that Entropy played an important role in distinguishing plants age. Distribution of entropy corresponded to various phases of rice growth. Aging rice plants tend to coincide to increasing value of entropy. Entropy became smaller in young rice plants, because of a decrease in the number of leaves or density of plant canopy and therefore soil contribution was dominant. Although the alpha angle was found useful to describe scattering type, this parameter is less visible to contribute significantly to the interpretation of data.

Judul: Koksidiosis Pada Usus Halus Kelinci Yang Disebabkan Oleh Eimeria magna
Abstrak: Penyakit yang disebabkan oleh infeksi protozoa dari genus Eimeria pada usus halus kelinci, disebut kok- sidiosis usus (Intestinal Coccidiosis). Salah satu jenis coccidia penyebabnya adalah E. magna. E. magna ini adalah parasit intraseluler, yang menyerang usus halus kelinci terutama bagian jejunum dan ileum. Dalam siklus hidupnya E. magna mengalami tiga tahap perkembangan, yaitu: 1. Skizogoni. Pada tahap ini terjadi pembentukan skizon, ukurannya berkisar antara 10-20 น. 2. Gametogoni. Pada tahap ini terjadi perkembangan seksual, terjadi lima hari setelah infeksi. 3. Sporogoni. Pada tahap ini terjadi pembentukan spora, bentuk ini dapat menginfeksi kelinci lainnya. Ookista yang bersporulasi dapat menginfeksi kelinci dalam suatu peternakan. Ookista ini berbentuk oval kadang kadang elips, panjangnya 28-42 u dan lebarnya 20-26 u. Apabila kelinci terinfeksi oleh ookista ini, dapat menurunkan berat badan terus menerus dan akhirnya menimbulkan kematian. Kelinci yang berumur muda lebih sering terserang penyakit ini dari pada kelinci dewasa, sehingga sering menyebabkan kerugian pada peternak. Gejala klinis yang terlihat tergantung dari banyaknya jumlah ookista yang termakan oleh kelinci. Kelinci muda sering terinfeksi oleh sejumlah besar ookista yang dapat menyebabkan kematian mendadak tanpa memperlihatkan gejala klinis terlebih dahulu. Pada infeksi akut terlihat gejala-gejala penurunan berat badan, dehidrasi, banyak minum, diare yang hebat dan sering menimbulkan kematian. ...
