Judul: Development Strategy of Paddy Seed Breeding  at UD. Agro Tani, Tuban Regency
Abstrak: Pemenuhan kebutuhan benih padi bersertifikat masih terbilang kurang dan ini menjadi salah satu tanggung jawab penangkaran benih padi sebagai produsen dan pengedar benih padi bersertifikat untuk mengembangkan usaha dan memperluas jangkauan pasarnya, salah satunya adalah UD. Agro Tani. Adanya kelemahan internal, persaingan hingga lingkungan bisnis yang dinamis mengharuskan UD. Agro Tani untuk terus melakukan pengembangan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi faktor internal dan eksternal untuk merumuskan alternatif strategi. Metode yang digunakan adalah matriks IFE, EFE dan SWOT. Matriks IFE dan EFE menunjukkan bahwa perusahaan kuat secara internal dan merespon lingkungan eksternal dengan baik. Alternatif strategi yang didapatkan dari matriks SWOT yaitu: 1) meningkatkan produksi dan penyaluran benih padi dengan tetap menjaga mutu dan kualitasnya, 2) memaksimalkan manajemen internal dan pencatatan administrasi serta informasi, 3) mengoptimalkan pengaturan waktu pengujian hingga pemasaran benih padi, 4) meningkatkan pengaturan dan pengawasan produksi lapang., Fulfillment of certified paddy seeds is still lacking and this is one of the concern of paddy seed breeders as producers and distributors to develop their business and expand their market reach, one of which is UD. Agro Tani. The internal weaknesses, competition and a dynamic business environment require UD. Agro Tani to keep developing. The purpose of this research is identify internal and external factors to formulate alternative strategy. The methods used are IFE, EFE and SWOT matrices. The IFE and EFE matrices show that the company is internally strong and responds well to the external environment. Alternative strategies obtained from the SWOT matrix are: 1) increase the production and distribution of paddy seeds while maintaining the quality of the seeds, 2) maximizing internal management and recording administration and information, 3) optimizing the timing of testing to marketing of paddy seeds, 4) improve organization and supervision of field production.

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.
