Judul: Kinerja Usahaternak Sapi Perah pada Kedua Kelompok Ternak di Kelurahan Kebon Pedes, Kota Bogor
Abstrak: Dairy cows is one of animal husbandry that produce milk. The production of dairy cow milk in Indonesia is lower than the demand of milk. So, animal husbandary milk has good chance and prospect in business. Bogor is one of city in West Java which has numbers of family with lifelihood rely their family on animal husbandry business. There are two cattle farmers groups that still operate in Bogor, Kelompok Ternak Maju Terus („Maju Terus‟ Cattle Group) and Kelompok Ternak Sumber Makmur („Sumber Makmur‟ Cattle Group). The purpose of this research is to analyze the determinant factors of milk production and the influnce of milk production to business performance in both cattle group in Kebon Pedes, Bogor, West Java. The income approach and R/C ratio analysis are used to gain the research purpose. The result of this research are the determinant factors that statistically significant are the number of productive cows, the amount of feed both green feed and „waste‟ feed, otherwise concentrate is not statistically significant. The cattleman performance of („Maju Terus‟ Cattle Group is better than „Sumber Makmur‟ Cattle Group for the R/C ratio is higher.

Judul: Analisis efisiensi produksi dan peran koperasi terhadap usaha ternak Sapi Perah di Kecamatan Cibungbulang Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Indonesia has a potency to develops the dairy industry in the future, however Indonesia still imports about 73% of its dairy need and produces the 27% remaining domestically (Kementerian Pertanian, 2013). Kawasan Usaha Ternak (KUNAK) Cibungbulang, Bogor District is purposively established by the Koperasi Peternak Susu (KPS) Bogor as a national pilot area of an environmentally friendly dairy farm. Further, it is also expected that its milk production can support national milk supply. However, as the milk production in KUNAK Cibungbulang still highly depends on the input usage, therefore the influencing factors of milk production analyses are interesting to be examined. Moreover, this study also analyses the farmer’s income level, the optimum input usage, and also the dairy cooperative’s role in supporting the farmer’s activity. This study applies the double linear regression which has been transformed into the natural logarithm form, the farm management income analysis, the efficiency analysis of production factor, and the descriptive analysis. The result of the study indicates that the significant production factors which influence the milk production are: the amount of the feed, concentrate, tofu dregs, and workers. The analysis is resulting an evidence of profitable dairy farm. However, it is also important to increase the usage of optimum input and the cooperative roles, thus the KUNAK Cibungbulang can reach its optimum profit. The research found that inputs farm have not been used optimally, even the dairy cooperatives have supported the farms well.

Judul: Nanokristalin Pirit (FeS2) sebagai Material Semikonduktor Fotovoltaik.
Abstrak: Teknologi fotovoltaik adalah suatu proses yang dapat mengubah sinar matahari menjadi energi listrik dengan media semikonduktor. Penggunaan sel surya untuk fotovoltaik hanya dapat mengonversi radiasi matahari menjadi energi listrik kurang dari 20%. Efisiensi akan meningkat ketika material semikonduktor untuk fotovoltaik dibuat menjadi ukuran nano. Pirit merupakan salah satu material semikonduktor fotovoltaik yang memiliki energi pita celah (Eg) dalam kisaran 0.8–0.95 eV. Energi pita celah tersebut terbukti meningkat ketika disintesis dengan metode hidrotermal menggunakan beragam molar [S]:[Fe] pada suhu 200 °C dalam 24 jam. Nilai energi pita celah yang dihasilkan adalah 1.58–2.073 eV. Ukuran nanokristalin pirit yang dihasilkan berada pada kisaran 21.04–58.77 nm menurut data Particle Size Analyzer. Besarnya ukuran nanokristal pirit yang tumbuh kurang dari 50 nm merupakan poin penting untuk aplikasi fotovoltaik.
