Judul: Karakteristik Kualitas Telur Tetas dan Perkembangan Tulang Belakang (Somite) Embrio Ayam Arab pada Umur Telur yang Berbeda
Abstrak: Umur telur merupakan salah satu faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi kualitas telur tetas yang digunakan dalam penetasan. Penyimpanan telur yang semakin lama akan menurunkan kualitas telur. Kualitas telur tetas meliputi kualitas eksterior dan interior, faktor ini dapat mempengaruhi perkembangan embrio di dalam telur. Perkembangan embrio meliputi pembentukan tulang belakang (somite). Sampai saat ini data tentang perkembangan somite pada ayam lokal terutama ayam Arab masih terbatas, sehingga diperlukan penelitian mengenai pengaruh umur telur terhadap perkembangan somite pada ayam lokal (ayam Arab). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakteristik telur tetas dan perkembangan tulang belakang (somite) embrio ayam Arab pada umur telur yang berbeda. Penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi mengenai umur telur tetas yang sebaiknya digunakan dalam penetasan.

Judul: Perkembangan Embrio dan Daya Tetas serta Viabilitas Anak Ayam Arab dari Umur Induk yang Berbeda
Abstrak: Low quality and quantity of local chicken egg in Indonesia are mainly due to the poor breeding management. Hen age is one of considered factor of breeding and hatchery management. Until now the embryo development, hatchability, and chick viability of local chicken such as Arab chicken from different age is still questionable, although it has been proven on broilers. This research was conducted at Laboratory of Poultry Hatching, Departement of Animal Science Production and Technology, Animal Science Faculty, Bogor Agricultural University from May till June 2012. The Complete Randomized design with 135 fertile eggs from three different age of hens (36, 42, and 54 weeks) used in this study. Exterior quality of fertile eggs, embryo development, hacthability, and chick viability were observed in this study. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and then continued by Tuckey analysis. Data of shell cleanness, air egg shell quality, extraembrionic membrane development, hatchability, and viability were analyzed by descriptive method. The data showed that egg weigth, egg index, and embryo weight, beak length, head perimeter of 7th incubation time and embryo weight, neck length, and leg length of 14th incubation time were different (P<0.05). Incressing of hen age could effect the decressing embrio capability to absorb nutrition. The temperature of incubator also effected on metabolism rapidity of embrio. The optimum hen age of to produce good embryo development, hatchability, and viability of Arab Day Old Chick is 36 weeks.

Judul: Hybrid solar cells of ZnO nanoparticles/chlorophyll was modified metal ions (Zn2+ and Cu2+ )
Abstrak: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a n-type semiconductor with a wide the energy band (Band Gap) is 3.37 eV at room temperature and 3.34 eV at low temperature with a large exiton binding energy is 60 meV. ZnO has been synthesized by hydrothermal method, resulting in a decrease in particle size over the duration of the hydrothermal changes. Crystallographic structure of ZnO were characterized using XRD, has shown the characteristic pattern of a hexagonal wurtzite structure, the crystallite size increases to changes in particle size. Changes in particle size has also led to a change in the absorption peak of ZnO as has been demonstrated posted under test using the optical properties of UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Changes of this uptake has also led to changes in the energy band gap, which increases its band gap energy of the particle size. In electronic applications, especially in solar cells. Chlorophyll is considered less effective, because of their very nature are easily degraded as a result of several reactions which are acid, lighting and temperature. The results of the stability test using a halogen lamp 34 W/m2 for 5 hours, that the substitution of chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form more stable than natural chlorophyll. The characterization of the optical properties, the combination of ZnO / chlorophyll in the form of hybrid films has led to a shift in the absorption region of ZnO becomes more widely from the UV to Visible. ZnO/chlorophyll has absorption range of 350-515 nm, ZnO / Zn-feofitin 332-401 nm and 332-632 nm for Cu-feofitin. The combination of ZnO/chlorophyll and CuSCN as a solid electrolite in hybrid solar cell, a modified chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form a more stable I-V curve. It is characterized by its fill factor value greater than natural chlorophyll. Nevertheless, solar cells with natural chlorophyll has been able to produce higher efficiency values of chlorophyll were substituted.
