Judul: Penanganan Awal dan Pengeringan Umbi Talas (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schoot) menggunakan Sunbeam Food Dehydrator Tipe DT5600
Abstrak: Drying process had become an effort to process taro corms as the raw material for industry. The main problems of taro corms post-harvesting before drying process were the pre-treatment and how to process the slice of taro corms. The objectives of this research are to study the dehydrator temperature effect and pre-treatment before drying process of taro corms using Sunbeam Food Dehydrator DT5600 (55 ᴼC and 75 ᴼC) to the dried taro corms quality, also to assess the performance of Sunbeam Food Dehydrator DT5600. The slice taro corms had 2 mm thickness. There were four treatments before drying, the first was no treatment as control, the second was blanching treatments of the slice of taro corms within the 7 liters water at temperature of 80 ᴼC for 15 minutes, the third was blanching which followed by the soaking within the 10% concentration of sodium chloride solution, and the fourth was same as third treatment which followed by blanching using 2 g/kg of sodium metabisulphite at temperature of 80 ᴼC for a minute. The result showed that taro which is dried at drying temperature of 75 ᴼC more efficient than that of dried at drying temperature of 55 ᴼC. The drying rate and efficiency of taro drying were 43.84 %bk/jam and 17.38% respectively. Dried taro is categorized into super quality for first and second treatments, first quality for fourth treatments and second quality for third treatments. The pre-treatment of taro drying by using blanching and by the soaking within 10% concentration of sodium chloride solution is recommended to reduce oxalate of dried taro until 81.11%.

Judul: Optimasi Suhu dan Waktu Penggorengan Hampa (vacuum frying) Keripik Talas (Colocasia esculenta)
Abstrak: Taro is a carbohydrate crops potentially as subtitution of rice or for food diversification. Mentawai Islands have a great taro production. Post harvest handling of taro comonly is done by processing it into chips. Conventional frying has the disadvantage that the oil temperature is too high so it can stimulate the acrylamide compound that carsinogenic compound. One of suitable frying technology is called vacuum frying. The aim of this research were to determine the effect of temperature and frying time to physic-chemical characteristic of taro chips, to determine the best temperature and frying time, and to determine the production cost of taro chips. Taro was fried with temperature 102, 107, 112 °C and time of 25, 30, 35 minutes. Temperature and time treatment significantly influenced to physic-chemical parameters such as moisture content, carbohydrate content, hardness, and colors. The best temperature and time for frying taro chips is 112 °C for 30 minutes. The production cost of taro chips for every 100 grams is 5 750 Rupiahs

Judul: Heisenberg Uncertainty of Double SlitSystem Based on Budiyono-Rohrlich Quantum Statistics Model
Abstrak: Interpretasi kuantum dikembangkan untuk memaknai secara fisis dengan jelas bagaimana suatu dinamika pada sistem mikroskopis yang dijelaskan dengan teori-teori kuantum, seperti interpretasi Copenhagen yang mendeskripsikan sistem kuantum sebagai suatu keadaan yang dideskripsikan dengan fungsi gelombang yang berisikan bagaimana peluang keadaan suatu sistem. Interpretasi kuantum juga bisa dibawa dari suatu sistem klasik seperti pada model statistika-kuantum Budiyono-Rohrlich yang menjelaskan bagaimana dinamika kuantum berhubungan dengan sistem klasik dengan penerapan statistika pada model Hamiltonian sistem. Fungsi distribusi dapat mendeskripsikan bagaimana suatu sistem terdistribusi pada suatu ruang pada pandangan klasik namun untuk sistem kuantum fungsi distribusi adalah peluang dari sistem tersebut. Sistem klasik dan kuantum juga dipisahkan berdasarkan pada ketidakpastian Heisenberg tentang suatu pengukuran yang tidak bisa secara sekaligus dilakukan bersamaan. Model statistika-kuantum Budiyono-Rohrlich membawa suatu sistem klasik menjadi sistem kuantum dengan dua aksioma yaitu hukum kekekalan energi rata rata dan konservasi rapat probabilitas. Sistem klasik yang didefinisikan akan diatur dengan menambahkan dua variable matematis berupa ontic extensions dan epistemic restrictions dimana kedua variabel ini yang akan menghubungkan bagaimana sistem klasik bisa diubah menjadi sebuah sistem kuantum. Dua variabel matematis tadi membuat sebuah sistem bisa diperlihatkan ketidakpastiannya lewat perhitungan simpangan rata-rata dan hasilnya akan selalu memenuhi ketidakpastian Heisenberg
