Judul: Intersepsi Radiasi Matahari dan Pertumbuhan Tanaman Cabai Merah pada Kondisi Tanpa Naungan dan Ternaungi
Abstrak: Applications of shading modifes the amount of radiation reaching the plants. This study was aimed to determine the influence of shading by paranet 50% and 75% on leaf area index (LAI), solar radiation use efficiency (RUE) and production of red pepper. For the duration of filed experiment of 127 days, total global radiation above the plant canopy in open areas was 1778 MJ/m², above the plant canopy in the shading by paranet 50% was 1629 MJ/m² and above the plant canopy in the shading by 75% was 1364 MJ/m². In plants without shading, the maximum value of LAI was 3.18 and the minimum was 0.75, while the maximum RUE was 2.8 g/MJ and minimum RUE was 1.5 g / MJ. In shading by paranet 50%, the maximum LAI was 2.75 and minimum LAI was 0.64, maximum RUE was 2.7 g/MJ and minimum RUE was 1.4 g/MJ. In plants with shading by paranet 75%, the maximum value of LAI was 2.58 and the minimum was 0.60, while the maximum RUE was 2.6 g/MJ and minimum RUE was 1.3 g/MJ. Plants under shading by paranet 75% only produced 7% of the biomass of plants without shading.

Judul: Profil Vertikal Suhu dan Akumulasi Panas Tanaman Cabai Merah pada Kondisi Ternaungi dan Tidak Ternaungi
Abstrak: Red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is an economically high valued plant which its selling influenced by physical factors such as quality and appearance. Air temperature affects heat unit response and plant phenology which can be used to determine planting period on various environment temperature condition, starting from seed planting until harvesting period. This research aimed to observe temperature and relative humidity vertical profiles around plant canopy and to analyse paranet shading influence toward heat unit and phenology of red pepper plant. The result shows air temperature and relative humidity vertical profile around plant canopy are fluctuative as having lapse rate and inversion pattern at each height.Heat unit of non-shaded and 50%-shaded red pepper plant are 1750 Coday and 2005 Coday respectively (15% greater than without shading). As a whole, using of paranet shading can decrease air temperature by 0.3 oC. Red pepper plant is unsuitable to be planted using 75%-shading because its generative phase become obstructed

Judul: Urolitiasis pada anjing
Abstrak: Urolitiasis adalah suatu penyakit dimana terjadi proses pengendapan batu pada traktus urinaria. Kalkuli yang paling banyak dijumpai pada kasus urolitiasis anjing adalah kalkuli magnesium amonium fosfat (struvite), jika dibandingkan dengan kalkuli oksalat, sistin dan urat (Osborne et al., 1982). Infeksi oleh Staphylococcus aureus pada traktus urinaria memgang peranan penting dalam proses pembentukan kalkuli, karena bakteri tersebut dapat menghasilkan enzim urease, raktor predisposisi tidak dapat dinisankan dari infeksi traktus urinaria. Pada anjing, tempat yang banyak didapati pengandapan kalkuli adalah kantung air kemih dan uretra, sedangkan pada ginjalnya jarang. Pada anjing jantan lebih sering kejadiannya dibanding dengan pada anjing betina, karena anatomi traktus urinaria pada anjing jantan lebih memungkinkan untuk terjadinya obstruksi, yaitu lebih panjang dan sempit. Besarnya, kalkuli bervariasi, dari kecil dan halus seperti pasir sampai besar dan kasar seperti batu karang. ...
