Abstract
Seismic wave parameter plays very important role to characterize reservoir properties whereas pore parameter is one of the most important parameter of reservoir. Therefore, wave propagation phenomena in pore media is important to be studied. By referring this study, in-direct pore measurement method based on seismic wave propagation can be developed. Porosity play important role in reservoir, because the porosity can be as compartment of fluid. Many type of porosity like primary as well as secondary porosity. Carbonate rock consist many type of porosity, i.e.: inter granular porosity, moldic porosity and also fracture porosity. The complexity of pore type in carbonate rocks make the wave propagation in these rocks is more complex than sand reservoir. We have studied numerically wave propagation in carbonate rock by finite difference modeling in time-space domain. The medium of wave propagation was modeled by base on the result of pattern recognition using artificial neural network. The image of thin slice of carbonate rock is then translated into the velocity matrix. Each mineral contents including pore of thin slice image are translated to velocity since mineral has unique velocity. After matrix velocity model has been developed, the seismic wave is propagated numerically in this model. The phenomena diffraction is clearly shown while wave propagates in this complex carbonate medium. The seismic wave is modeled in various frequencies. The result shows dispersive phenomena where high frequency wave tends to propagate in matrix instead pores. In the other hand, the low frequency waves tend to propagate through pore space even though the velocity of pore is very low. Therefore, this dispersive phenomena of seismic wave propagation can be the future indirect measurement technology for predicting the existence or intensity of pore space in reservoir rock. It will be very useful for the future reservoir characterization.

Agit Zulharman, Agus Mulyana, Ginaldi Ari Nugroho
Abstract
Atmosphere balloon for weather monitoring and research application have long been developed in Indonesia. However, the lack of this atmosphere balloon were difficult to control for its movement. By reducing the vertical movement of the balloon, it could controlled the balloon in certain altitude. Atmosphere balloon altitude control that proposed in this research is by using air control method applied in a ballast totex balloon. The control are conducted by filling the air into ballast using dual head pump 9) and discharge the air naturally using air pressure inside the ballast controlled by valve integrated with servo motor as an actuator. If the uplift of the atmosphere balloon filled with hydrogen reaching zero due to the ballast, then balloon will float in certain altitude above surface. Control activation process in the payload conducted wirelessly through radio signal transmission in 433 MHz frequency. Combination of all the component with this method will result a control system that able to resist the uplift of an atmosphere balloon, unfortunately this system in still unstable on floating in the desired altitude. This system still needs to be developed in the part of filled and discharge of the ballast more efficiently.

Sero-Positivity for Histoplasma Capsulatum among the Nearby Residents and Workers of Bat Caves
Pages 408-414
Marx P. Catalan, Anna Dominique Margas, Aprilyn Francisco
Abstract
Histoplasma capsulatum is a dimorphic fungus that thrives mostly in soil enriched with bird or bat guano and is endemic in the Mississippi and Ohio rivers in the United States. Outbreaks associated with this organism usually occur following the disturbance of soil of old roosting site for birds, or a visit to a bat-inhabited cave (Lyon et.al, 2004). Bats and their guanos play an important role in the cultivation of Histoplasma capsulatum. The nutrients present in the guano along with that of the soil; and the environmental conditions support the ecological niche of this fungus. Bat colonies also contribute to the physical parameters necessary for the survival and reproduction of this fungal species by raising the environment’s temperature and humidity (Taylor et.al, 2005). In the last decades, several investigation for the presence of Histoplasma capsulatum in soil. The latest was in 1999, wherein detection of the fungus in the soil was done using polymerase chain reaction (Reid & Schafer, 1999).

Abstract
This study aimed to explore walking as a transportation mode compared with other modes of election for residents around Kiaracondong Railway Station, Bandung, with comparative and descriptive analysis. Initially, the use of modes that will be compared to walking is walking plus train, walking plus angkot, walking plus ojek/others, and car/motorcycle. But the train was not a daily trip for people around the station, so it is not analyzed further. Walking as transport mode explored by trip purposes (school, shopping, work), gender (male, female), and the availability of car/motorcycle. Walking into that has been chosen, except for the purpose of working. We then discuss aspects of parental perception of walkability are grouped into five, namely accessibility, comfort, safety, pleasure ability, and security. From the perception of walkability, only feasibility for walking to distance associated with walking, which is one factor accessibility. While the gender and availability of car/motorcycle has nothing to do with the election of walking as mode of transport.
