Abstrak: Ocean wave is one of the important parameter that affected the dynamic of the coastal. Ocean monitoring that provides real-time data is needed to help better understand of the ocean. The objective of this study are designing and constructing an instrument to measure the wave height. The instrument is designed by using accelerometer sensor and its placed on a buoy to follow the water particle movement on the sea surface. Electronics systems used ATmega32 microcontroller as the main control of this instruments. Data from the sensors stored on the MMC/SD card. Data analysis used MATLAB software by using zero crossing method to get the wave properties. The instruments measured at one fixed point by mooring system. Instrument had undergone fields test in Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi and moored at 8 meters depth. Data analysis in 22 hours recording in location showed that the average wave height ̅ was 0.72 meters; the significant wave height (Hsig) was 1.32 meters and the maximum wave height (Hmax) was 2.58 meters.

Abstrak: The aim of this research is to design and construct an instrument to measure beach slope BS-Meter with accelerometer sensor. There were five stages in the design of this instrument, namely: casing design, electronic design, software design, laboratory tests and field trials. The casing is made of aluminum and 1-meter supporting board to make the instrument simple and easy to use. It is assumed, therefore, that within 1-meter there are no changes of the beach slope. An electronic system was built using the Arduino Mega as a microcontroller; while accelerometer sensor and GPS PMB-688 were used to obtain data slope and position, respectively. The data obtained is displayed on the Liquid Cristal Display (LCD) and stored on the SD Card. Laboratory test between BS-Meter and arc angle showed the different between -0.43 up to 0.96 degrees with a value of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) 0.41. Thus BS-Meters have good accuracy. The Statistics Analysis of the t-test at a 95 percent with confidence interval = 0.05, showed that the value of the angle on the arc angle was not significantly different from the value of BS-Meter. Field test was also performed to compare the results of measuring BS-Meter with a Water pass. The results of field measurements of BS-Meter showed that the Palabuhanratu beach slope ranging from 2.16 to 8.32 degrees, while measurements using waterpass ranging from 2.42 to 11.10 degrees. Error or difference value of measurements between the BS-meter and Water pass is ranging from 0.13 to 3.00 degrees. The determination coefficient calculation (R2) between BS-meter and Water pass ranged from 0.97 to 0.99. Therefore, the BSMeter functions correctly and accurately.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
