Judul: Daya Saing Ekspor Komoditi Hortikultura Indonesia di Pasar ASEAN
Abstrak: Horticulture is one of agricultural sub sector of Indonesia which has quite good potential in international market, such as ASEAN. The objectives of this research are to analyze condition and the competitiveness position of Indonesian horticultural commodities in ASEAN’s market, also to formulate strategy which leads to increase the export competitiveness of Indonesian horticulture. The export competitiveness of Indonesian horticulture is analyzed using Revealed Comparative Advantages, Export Competitiveness Index, and Acceleration Ratio methods. The examined commodities in this research are cut flowers, mangoes, mangosteens, guavas, avocadoes, watermelons, potatoes, tomatoes, gingers, and curcumas. Considering the classification based on the analysis, we can coclude that commodities which have export competitiveness are mangoes, mangosteens, guavas, avocadoes, watermelons, potatoes, gingers, curcumas, and cut flowers, whereas tomatoes have less export competitiveness in ASEAN’s market

Judul: Dayasaing dan Permintaan Ekspor Sayuran Indonesia di Negara Tujuan Utama
Abstrak: The export commodities competitiveness is one of many indicators used for measuring the economic growth of a country. This research analyzed the export competitiveness of the five Indonesian vegetables, including potatoes, tomatoes, onions, cabbage, and chili which are delivered to five major destination countries and compared with competitor countries by looking at the comparative and competitive advantages as well as the factors that influence it. The period of analysis from 2008 to 2012 using Releaved Comparative Advantage (RCA), Export Product Dynamic (EPD), and the Gravity Model which used the data panel regression approach E-views 6. The result of this study indicates that the Indonesian commodities of vegetables do not have a comparative advantage better than its competitors, namely Netherland and China to the world. On the other hand, Indonesia has the best competitive advantage compared to its competitors. The factors that affect is Economic Distance, GDP, Exchange Rate, Population, and the Price of the Export with different results on each of the commodities.

Judul: Pembuatan Film Tipis Lithium Niobat (LiNbO3) Menggunakan Metode Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD) dengan Variasi Kecepatan Putar (Rpm).
Abstrak: Film tipis merupakan salah satu aspek yang mendapat perhatian sangat besar dalam bidang material, karena film tipis merupakan material menarik yang memiliki sifat optik yang sangat tergantung pada konstanta dielektrik, indeks bias, dan energi gap. Lithium Niobat (LiNbO3 ) dapat digunakan sebagai pelapis pada film tipis karena memiliki sifat piezoelektrik, electrooptical, pyroelectrical dan photorefractive yang sangat baik. Film tipis Lithium Niobat (LiNbO3 ) ditumbuhkan menggunakan metode Chemical Solution Deposition (CSD) dengan variasi kecepatan 3500 rpm, 5000 rpm, 6500 rpm, dan 8000 rpm. Metode ini memiliki keunggulan dapat mengontrol stokiometri film tipis dengan kualitas yang baik, prosedur yang mudah dan membutukan biaya yang relatif murah. Energi band gap yang dihasilkan dari film tipis Lithium Niobat (LiNbO3) berkisar antara rentang 2.1 eV – 2.8 eV dengan indeks bias berada pada rentang 2.18-3.2. Film tipis LiNbO3 memiliki parameter kisi a=b=5.54Ǻ dan c = 16.35 Ǻ. Struktur morfologi film tipis adalah permukaan yang homogen dan ukuran kristal berada pada rentang 0.417 μm – 0.680 μm.
