Judul: Rancangan fungsional dan struktural kandang ayam ras pedaging dengan konstruksi bambu di Sukabumi Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Ayam ras pedaging (broiler=peranggang) merupakan ternak unggas yng diusahakan dalam sekala rumah tangga dan industri peternakan. Ayam ras pe aging secara genetis sengaja diciptakan sedemikian rupa sehingga dalam waktu yang reletif singkat yaitu sekitar 4-8 minggu hasilnya sudah dapat dimanfaatkan. Direktoret Jenderal Peternakan, Departemen Pertanian RI (1998) menyatakan bahwa sela na periode 1990-1994, konsumsi terhadap daging ayam ras pedaging terus me tingrat yaitu sekitar 8,21%/orang/tahun. Lebih dari 50% daging unggas dikonsumsi sebagai sumber pangan hasil hewani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang kandang ayam ras pedaging sistem beralas tebal (litter) yang berumur ekonomis tinggi. Tujuan khusus yaitu membuat rancangan fungsional dan struktural dengan mengunakan konstruksi bambu. merancang struktural sehingga mendapatkan suatu dimensi konstruks yang seekonomis mungkin dan membuat detail sambungan yang paling sesua: ir tuk digunakan, serta membuat rencana anggaran biaya yang dibutuhkan ntuk pembangunan kandang tersebut.

Judul: Rancangan Kandang Ayam Ras Petelur Sistem Baterai dengan Konstruksi Bambu
Abstrak: Ayam ras petelur termasuk salah satu jenis unggas yang memiliki nilai komersial yang tinggi. Ayam ras petelur khusus dibudidayakan untuk produksi telur. Untuk mernenuhi kebutuhan konsumen, ayam yang ditemakkan harus berkualitas tinggi dengan kuantitas tetap dan berkesinambungan. Hal ini hanya akan terpenuhi jika ayam yang dipelihara berasal dari bibit unggul, diberi pakan yang cukup dan kandang yang sesuai untuk pertumbuhan dan perkembangannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang kandang ayam ras petelur dengan sistern baterai. Tujuan lainnya adalah memanfaatkan bambu sebagai bahan konstruksi utama, dan menghitung pembebanan yang timbul akibat berat konstruksi dan pengamhnya terhadap bahan konstruksi yang digunakan. Perancangan ini juga bertujuan untuk menganalisis biaya yang dibutuhkan untuk realisasi pembangunan kandang.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
