Pine (Pinus merkusii) is tree species that provides timber and gum rosin. To meet the needs of wood and non wood (gum rosin) products, planting by using superior or high quality seeds are needed. Seed procurements for planting are obtained from seedling seed orchard (SSO). However, Cijambu’s SSO was attacked by pine woolly aphid (Pineus boerneri). Therefore, assessment of Cijambu’s SSO needs to be done to evaluate the severity pest attacks that could affect to the quality and the quantity of seed production. Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) method is one of the methods to assess the health level of a stand. The number of trees found in all cluster plots in Cijambu’s SSO were 270 trees. Based on the value of the VCR (Visual Crown Rating), the trees located in all cluster plot have health level between low to high. Based on the value of the VCR showed 38.52% (104 trees) having VCR’s value was high, 49.26% (133 trees) having VCR’s value was middle; 12.22% (33 trees) having VCR’s value was low; and no tree having very low VCR’s value. The average of VCR’s value in all cluster plots were 3.25 and classified as middle health. Based on the value of TDLI (Tree Damage Level Index) from 270 trees in all cluster plot showed that 189 trees (70.00%) in healthy condition; 69 trees (25.56%) in slight damage condition; 11 trees (4.07%) in middle damage condition; and 1 tree (0.37%) in heavy damage condition. The value of damage in all cluster plots (ALI) was 261.22 and classified as in health condition. The trees located in all cluster plots were mostly suitable to be seed sources as 242 trees (89.63%), while 28 trees (10.37%) were not suitable for seed sources.Keywords: Forest Health Monitoring, Pinus merkusii, seedling seed orchard, Tree Damage Level Index, Visual Crown Rating

Abstract: Porous asphalt has low stability but has high permeability caused by the amount of voids in mixture. For that need to be added other materials to increase the value of the stability on a mixture of pavement. . In this study, the added material used is gum rosin. Gum rosin is obtained by distillation/distillation of the sap from the tree pinus merkusii shaped solid clear yellow to dark yellow. The objecteve of this research is to determine the characteristics of porous asphalt mixture by substituting gum rosin on asphalt penetration 60/70. The specimens preparation of Optimum Asphalt Content (OAC) followed Australian Asphalt pavement Association (AAPA) Method by  parameter of Cantabro Loss (CL), Asphalt Flow Down (AFD), and Voids In Mix (VIM). Open graded  aggregate was applied and variation in bitumen content of 4,5 %; 5%; 5,5%; 6%; and 6,5% excluding gum rosin. Marshall test and calculatio, CL, and AFD were conducted afterward to obtain OAC. Subsequently, the OAC obtained was used to prepare some specimens of the OAC with  variations  ± 0.5 from the OAC and gum rosin variations of 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%. Permeability and durability test then required specimens at the best optimum asphalt content. Based on this research, the content of the best OAC was 5.56% with gum rosin content of 8% as bitumen substitution material. Besides, almost  all parameter values met the specification of the AAPA (2004). The addition of rosin affect the value of the characteristic of Marshall, CL, and AFD, which increasing the value of stability, VIM, CL, and AFD  along with the increasein percentage of gum rosin. According to the best OAC the value of stability was 554.81 kg, the value of VIM was 18.04%, the value of CL was 20.66%, and the value of AFD was 0.28%.Abstrak: Aspal porus memiliki stabilitas yang rendah namun memiliki permeabilitas tinggi yang disebabkan oleh banyaknya rongga dalam campuran. Untuk itu perlu ditambahkan material lain untuk meningkatkan nilai stabilitas pada campuran perkerasan. Pada penelitian ini bahan tambah yang digunakan adalah gondorukem. Gondorukem merupakan hasil destilasi/penyulingan getah dari pohon pinus merkusii yang berbentuk padat berwarna kuning jernih sampai kuning tua. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik campuran aspal porus dengan substitusi gondorukem ke dalam aspal penetrasi 60/70. Pembuatan benda uji untuk penentuan kadar aspal optimum (KAO) digunakan metode Australian Asphalt pavement Association (AAPA) dengan parameter nilai cantabro loss (CL), asphalt flow down (AFD), dan voids in mix (VIM). Gradasi agregat yang digunakan adalah gradasi terbuka dengan kadar aspal 4,5 %; 5%; 5,5%; 6%; dan 6,5% tanpa variasi penggunaan gondorukem. Selanjutnya dilakukan pengujian dan perhitungan Marshall, CL, dan AFD untuk mendapatkan KAO. Setelah KAO diperoleh, dibuat benda uji pada KAO dan variasi ± 0,5 dari nilai KAO dengan variasi substitusi gondorukem  sebesar 2%, 4%, 6%, dan 8%. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian KAO terbaik pada 5,56% dengan substitusi 8% gondorukem, dimana semua parameternya telah memenuhi spesifikasi yang disyaratkan AAPA (2004). Penambahan gondorukem berpengaruh terhadap nilai karakteristik Marshall, CL, dan AFD, dimana meningkatkan nilai stabilitas, VIM, CL, dan AFD seiring dengan peningkatan persentase gondorukem. Pada KAO terbaik diperoleh nilai stabilitas sebesar 554,81 kg, nilai VIM sebesar 18,04%, nilai CL sebesar 20,66%, dan nilai AFD sebesar 0,28%.

Paper industries commonly produce pulp sourced from a mixture of pulps, rather than from a single pulp, to obtain desired properties. In addition, the beating process is an essential step with respect to physical properties of pulp. Kraft pine (Pinus merkusii/PM) pulps were beaten to different degrees, i.e 200~300 CSF (heavy-beating) and 300~400 CSF (moderatebeating), paper sheets then were formed from each beaten sample. It was found that the strength properties of prepared paper sheets decreased the longer they were beaten, particularly as seen by the tear index and fold number. By microscopic investigation, it was found that cut or shortened fibers occurred very frequently in the pine pulps. Furthermore, the effects of heavily beaten pine pulp additions on handsheet properties of kraft pulps of Acacia nilotica (AN) were investigated. Four different mixing ratios by weight of AN/PM from 100:0, 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30 during beating, as well as four different kappa numbers of AN pulps (32.5, 34.0, 34.2, and 35.9) were applied. In general, the decrease in strength properties (3~25%) that occurred with increasing pine pulp ratio was more evident between pulp without pine and a 30% ratio of pine pulps. Fold number was reduced considerably (2.8~24.7%) by the blend composition but less pronounced in tear index (3.0~8.9%) from the initial values. However, the 10% or 20% ratio of PM pulps could increase opacity, brightness, and strength properties in some cases. No clear trend was found with increasing kappa number.

The Ap stars are numerous - the photometric systems tool It would be very tedious to review in detail all that which is in the literature concerning the photometry of the Ap stars. In my opinion it is necessary to examine the problem of the photometric properties of the Ap stars by considering first of all the possibility of deriving some physical properties for the Ap stars, or of detecting new ones. My talk today is prepared in this spirit. The classification by means of photoelectric photometric systems is at the present time very well established for many systems, such as UBV, uvbyβ, Vilnius, Geneva and DDO systems. Details and methods of classification can be found in Golay (1974) or in the proceedings of the Albany Colloquium edited by Philip and Hayes (1975).

The bullet-shaped viruses are currently classified together on the basis of similarities in virion morphology and physical properties. Biologically and ecologically the member viruses are extremely diverse. In searching for further bases for making comparisons of these agents, the nature of host cell infection, both in vivo and in cultured cells, has been explored by thin-section electron microscopy.

Although most materials contain more than one phase, and thus are multiphase materials, the definition of composite materials is commonly used to describe those materials containing more than one phase deliberately added to obtain certain desired physical properties. Composite materials are often classified according to their application, i.e. structural composites and electronic composites, but may also be classified according to the type of compounds making up the composite, i.e. metal/ceramic, ceramic/ceramie and metal/semiconductor composites. For structural composites it is also common to refer to the type of structural reinforcement; whisker-reinforced, fiber-reinforced, or particulate reinforced composites [1-4].For all types of composite materials, it is of fundamental importance to understand the relationship between the microstructure and the observed physical properties, and it is therefore vital to properly characterize the microstructure. The interfaces separating the different phases comprising the composite are of particular interest to understand. In structural composites the interface is often the weakest part, where fracture will nucleate, and in electronic composites structural defects at or near the interface will affect the critical electronic properties.
