Judul: Pemanfaatan Primer Pengapit Pre-1 (Porcine Repetitive Element) untuk Mendeteksi Daging Babi pada Beberapa Produk Sosis
Abstrak: Perlindungan terhadap kosumen yang membutuhkan makanan halal di negeri ini nampaknya perlu mendapatkan perhatian yang lebih khusus mengingat beberapa kali terjadi pemalsuan terhadap produk pangan yang berlabel halal. Upaya lebih dini untuk mendeteksi daging babi pada produk olahan daging khususnya sosis dilakukan dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah analisis PCR menggunakan primer pengapit PRE-1 (Porcine Repetitive Element) yaitu p408, p27 dan p18 dapat digunakan pada produk sosis yang beredar di pasaran dan untuk mengetahui tingkat akurasi teknik ini dalam mendeteksi daging babi pada produk tersebut, dilakukan di Laboratorium Bioteknologi Hewan dan Biomedis, Pusat Penelitian Bioteknologi, IPB dan Laboratorium Biologi Molekul Miki-oba, Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Bioteknologi, Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia, Cibinong, dari bulan Mei 2000 sampai Februari 2001.

Judul: Upaya Mendeteksi Adanya Daging Babi dalam Makanan Jadi Melalui Uji DNA.
Abstrak: Makanan jadi seperti bakso sangat rawan tercampur dengan daging babi. Hal ini akan membabayakan umat Islam yang memang dilarang mengkonsumsi daging babi. Upaya awal untuk mendeteksi daging babi dalam bakso dengan menggunakan teknik PCR dilakukan dalam skala laboratorium. Penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mendeteksi adanya daging babi dalam makanan jadi menggunakan teknik Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) ini dilakukan diLaboratorium Bioteknologi Hewan dan Biomedis Pusat Antar Universitas Bioteknologi Institut Pertanian Bogor di Kampus IPB Darmaga dan Laboratorium Biak Sel dan Jaringan Hewan Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Bioteknologi , LIPI Cibinong pada bulan Maret sampai Juli 1999.

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.
