Judul: Perbaikan Teknik Produksi dan Analisis Kelayakan Finansial Usaha Produksi Minyak Akar Wangi (Vetiveria zizanoides) di Kampung Legok Pulus Kabupaten Garut
Abstrak: Vetiveria zizanoides commonly known as vetiver is a kind of essential oil that has large marketing opportunities. Haji Ede home industry is one of the vetiver root oil producers that located in Kampung Legok Pulus, Garut. The purpose of this research is to formulate the improvement of production method and to analyze the financial feasibility of vetiver root oil production. The suggested improvement were formulated on the process of harvesting, drying, and distillation. With 10-year investment value of Rp 200,000,000, investment of complement tools each year amounting to Rp 429,000, fixed costs of Rp 27,188,000/year, the variable cost of Rp 1,996,457,500/year, the unit cost of producing oil vetiver is Rp 766,600/kg. The BEP 2,530 kg/year. As the selling price is Rp. 800,000/kg, the profit obtained by UKM vetiver oil refinery is Rp. 88,176,000/year. The NPV of Rp 213,508,492, Net B/C of 3.27, Gross B/C 1.02, IRR 36.17%, and payback period for the past 2 years and 6 months indicate that the business is financially feasible.

Judul: Analysis of export oriented marketing strategy for enterprise refining vetiver oil pt. Pulus Wangi Nusantara at Samarang, Garut
Abstrak: Enterprise of Pulus Wangi Nusantara (PWN) is one of agro industrial enterprise on essential oil specially vetiver oil. In running its business, there are some constraints causing enterprise of PWN has a weak ability to do marketing strategy. Furthermore, it is needed to analyze enterprise of PWN in market activities including strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat (SWOT) analysis faced by enterprise of PWN. Data completing and analysis method were done by using strategic management concept approach. The data and information were proceed quantitatively and qualitatively. The qualitative data was process by descriptive. Quantitative analysis was started from input level through matrix of Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) and External Factor Evaluation (EFE), matching level through Internal-Eksternal (IE) and matrix of Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threat (SWOT), then, continuing by decision level with choosing marketing strategy priority through Quantitative Strategic Planning Matriks (QSPM). Based on internal and external factor identification research and its evaluation, providable that the main strength of enterprise is completing of export administrate qualification with score 0.436, the main weakness is continuity production with score 0.132, the main opportunity is brand of Java Vetiver Oil with score 0.389, and the main threat is the technology used competitor more sophisticated with score 0.119. Analysis from IE matrix providable the result that the position of enterprise is on quadran V that mean hold and maintain. The analysis result with SWOT matrix show many alternative strategy which is classified four selected strategy then. They are: market penetration, product development, direct exporting and human resource development. From matching stage, then calculate to decision making stage with using QSPM method. It shows that best market strategy priority continuously market penetration strategy with score 7.009.

Judul: Transisi Fasa Materi Hadronik ke Materi Kuark pada Inti Bintang Neutron.
Abstrak: Bintang neutron terdiri dari beberapa lapisan yang disusun oleh materi nuklir yang berbeda dengan kerapatan yang semakin tinggi ketika mendekati pusat bintang. Inti luar bintang neutron disusun oleh materi hadronik (nukleon, lepton, dan hyperon), sedangkan inti dalam bintang neutron disusun oleh kuark-kuark bebas (up, down, strange) yang saling berinteraksi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mempelajari bagaimana transisi dari inti luar ke inti dalam bintang neutron dengan menggunakan pendekatan RMF (Relativistic Mean Field) untuk materi hadronik dan CIDDM (Confined Isospin Density Dependent Mass) untuk materi kuark. Tekanan transisi diperoleh ketika potensial kimia barion materi hadronik dan materi kuark bernilai sama. Nilai tekanan transisi dengan parameter SU6-TM1 sekitar 87 MeV/fm3 dan diperoleh massa maksimum bintang neutron yaitu 1.92M dengan jari-jari sekitar 8.62 km. Nilai tekanan transisi dengan parameter SU6-G2 sekitar 53 MeV/fm3 dan massa maksimum bintang neutron yaitu 1.88M dengan jari-jari sekitar 8.16 km. Jenis transisi fasa adalah orde satu ditandai dengan diskontinuitas dalam kerapatan energi (adanya mixed phase). Parameter-parameter pada model nuklir yang digunakan menyebabkan perbedaan kekakuan persamaan keadaan (EOS) dari materi hadronik dan materi kuark sehingga nilai tekanan transisi dari fasa hadronik ke fasa kuark juga berbeda.
