Judul: Hubungan Keragaman Gen IGF2 dan GHR terhadap Sifat Pertumbuhan pada Ayam Lokal.
Abstrak: Local chicken is one of local genetic resources which is potential to be developed as meat producer in Indonesia. Local chicken has some superiority such as adapted in tropic and strong immune system but local chicken still has a weakness which is slow growth. Moleculer technique can be used as one of selection method based on MAS (Marker Assisted Selection) which can be determined by identification of major genes that control growth in chicken such as IGF2 (Insuline-like Growth Factor 2) and GHR (Growth Hormone Receptor) genes. This study aimed to analyze the polymorphism of IGF2 and GHR genes in some local chicken populations and the association with growth traits in kampung chicken. Research consisted of two steps namely analysis of IGF2 and GHR genes polymorphimsm in some chicken populations and association of IGF2 and GHR genes with growth traits in kampung chicken. A total of 313 head of chickens from nine populations consisted of kampung, pelung, sentul, merawang, commercial meat type and the crossbred of kampung-commercial meat type, commercial meat type-kampung, pelung-sentul, and sentul-kampung chickens were used as DNA resources for polymorphism analysis. A total of 56 head of kampung chickens were used as matery for association analysis. Genotyping was done by PCR-RFLP method (Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fargment Length Polymorphism). The data analysis were genotype frequency, allele frequency, heterozigosity, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and association of genotype and phenotype using GLM (General Linear Model). Result showed there were TC mutation on IGF2 gene and GA mutation on GHR gene. IGF2 gene in all population was polymorphic. GHR gene was monomorphic in pelung, sentul and the crossbreed of pelung-sentul chickens. IGF2 gene had high heterozigosity in the crossbred of pelung-sentul, kampung and crossbred of kampung-commercial meat type whereas there was no population with high heterozigosity on GHR gene. The association analysis showed there was no association between IGF2 and GHR genes polymorphism with growth traits in kampung chicken.

Judul: Keragaman Gen Hormon Pertumbuhan pada Ayam Lokal Indonesia dan Persilangannya
Abstrak: Indonesia local chickens have genetic potency with high ecomonic value such as meat and egg production, adapted in tropic and strong immunity. The chicken growth hormone (cGH) gene has a crucial role in controlling growth and metabolism, leading to potential correlations between cGH gene polymorphism and economic traits. This study aimed to identify the cGH gene polymorphism and find out the variation of gene at several local chickens, the crossbred, commercial meat type and layer. Polymorphism in intron 4 of cGH gene was studied in 229 chicken blood samples consisted of kampung, pelung, sentul, commercial meat type, layer, merawang, commercial meat type x kampung, kampung x commercial meat type, sentul x kampung and pelung x sentul chickens. A specific primer set was used to amplify a fragment of growth hormone locus using PCR. PCR products were digested with MspI restriction endonucleases. The amplified fragment digested with MspI enzyme revealed 2 alleles A and B with the frequency of 0.88-0.96 and 0.04-0.12, except in layer chickens only had 1 allele A with the frequency of 1.00. The results showed that cGH gene in MspI locus at kampung, pelung, sentul, commercial meat type, merawang, commercial meat type x kampung, kampung x commercial meat type, sentul x kampung and pelung x sentul chickens were polymorphics, except the layer chickens was monomorphics. The population of Indonesia local chicken and the crossbred that was studied in this research had low heterozygosity value but it was still in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Judul: Numerical modeling of the hydrodynamics of standing wave and scouring in front of impermeable breakwater with different steepnesses
Abstrak: The aim of this paper is to numerically study the effects of breakwater steepness on the hydrodynamics of standing wave and scouring process in front of impermeable breakwaters. A two-dimensional hydrodynamics model based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations and the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method was developed and then combined with an empirical sediment transport model. Comparisons with an analytical solution and experimental data showed the present model is very accurate in predicting the near bottom velocity and capable of simulating the scour/deposition patterns consistent with experimental data. It was found that the additional terms of bottom shear stress in the momentum equations are necessary to produce a physical scouring pattern. Different breakwater steepnesses produce different characteristics of standing wave, the steady streaming system, and scouring pattern in front of the breakwaters, which also affects the correlations between them. An additional analysis of the turbulence field parameters and the sediment transport rate was also performed. All these important information will be presented in details in this paper and can be worthwhile for designing the breakwater in coastal areas.
