Judul: Pengembangan Galamai Tinggi Serat dengan Subtitusi Markisa (Passiflora edulis) dan Kacang Tunggak (Vigan unguiculata).
Abstrak: Kacang tunggak merupakan kacang-kacangan sumber protein yang belum banyak dimanfaatkan dalam bentuk tepung, sedangkan markisa merupakan salah satu buah-buahan hasil pertanian di Indonesia yang produksinya terus meningkat dan memiliki kandungan serat yang cukup tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan galamai tinggi serat dengan substitusi markisa dan kacang tunggak. Rancangan penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan empat perlakuan substitusi markisa dan kacang tunggak. Perbandingan antara markisa, tepung ketan hitam, dan kacang tuggak, yaitu F0 (0:100:0), F1 (10:70:20), F2 (10:60:30), dan F3 (10:50:40). Hasil uji organoleptik menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kesukaan panelis pada F2 lebih tinggi dibandingkan formula yang lain dan terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada atribut rasa dan tekstur, namun tidak pada aroma dan warna. Kandungan gizi galamai terpilih (F2) adalah kadar air 20.4% (b/b), abu 7.27% (b/b), lemak 21.14% (b/k), protein 5.48% (b/k), karbohidrat 45.71% (b/k), dan serat 9.5%. Aktivitas antioksidan galamai adalah 0.045 mg/ml (45 ppm), tergolong dalam aktivias antioksidan kuat. Galamai dapat diklaim sebagai pangan tinggi serat (9.5 g per 100 g) berdasarkan Acuan Label Gizi produk pangan (ALG).

Judul: Aplikasi Pupuk Kalium dan Pupuk Kandang untuk Peningkatan Panen Kacang Tunggak (Vigna unguiculata L.).
Abstrak: Kacang tunggak (Vigna unguiculata L.) merupakan salah satu alternatif substitusi kedelai yang mengandung gizi tinggi. Produksi kacang tunggak masih rendah sehingga diperlukan upaya pemupukan untuk meningkatkan hasil panen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi pemupukan yang tepat serta mengetahui periode panen kacang tunggak. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kebun Percobaan Leuwikopo, IPB, bulan November 2017 sampai Februari 2018. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Split Plot dalam Rancangan Kelompok Lengkap Teracak (RKLT). Petak utama terdiri dari tanpa pupuk kandang dan pupuk kandang kambing 5 ton ha-1. Perlakuan anak petak yaitu pupuk kalium dosis 0, 30, 60, 90, dan 120 K2O ha-1. Semua petak ditambahkan pupuk dasar berupa pupuk Urea dan SP 36 sebanyak 100 kg ha-1. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan pupuk kalium dan pupuk kandang tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap berat kering tajuk, luas daun, kerapatan stomata, jumlah tandan bunga, jumlah bunga, jumlah polong, bobot polong kering, bobot biji kering, jumlah biji kering, dan bobot 100 butir. Periode puncak panen dicapai pada umur 63 hari setelah tanam.

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.
