Judul: Analisis Kebutuhan Irigasi Padi Berdasarkan Metode KP-01 dan CROPWAT 8
Abstrak: There are two different methods for determining irrigation water requirement for paddy, KP-01 and CROPWAT 8, by using climate data. The object of this research was irrigation water requirement. The purpose of this research was to analyse paddy irrigation requirement based on KP-01 method and CROPWAT 8. Those methods have different criterias to determine irrigation water requirement. That can be shown from parameters used such as reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo), effective rainfall, land preparation, crop coefficient and physical soil data. According to the two methods, the average ETo value in KP-01 method was higher than in Penman-Monteith method (CROPWAT 8), 123.61%. Ratio of effective rainfall percentage KP-01 to CROPWAT 8 was 42.91%. Water requirement for land preparation using CROPWAT 8 was calculated from the water requirement during scheduling pre puddling and puddling, while KP-01 used a method developed by Van de Goor and Zijlstra. Water requirement for land preparation using CROPWAT 8 method was larger than KP-01. Paddy irrigation water requirement from CROPWAT 8 calculation was generally lower than that of KP-01, because the effective rainfall (in CROPWAT 8) have fulfilled crop water requirement.

Abstrak: Water balance is the balance of the input and output of water somewhere at a certain period, so it can be to determine the amount of the excess or shortage of water. This study aimed to analyze the flow of water and the excess water needs that occur at BBPTP. The procedure consisted of field studies, literature review and data analysis. Based on the analysis, the direction of water flow in the area around the research flowing to the south where there is a Cijengkol river downstream water flow. Based on the analysis of the water needs of the consolidation that has been done can be concluded highest evapotranspiration values occurred in October that is 7.13 mm/day. The highest value of water demand in October is 2.10 lt/sec/ha. The maximum irrigation discharge occurs in the irrigation channel number 7 is 28.01 lt/sec with 13.34 ha area. Based on the analysis of rainfall can be summed value maximum daily rainfall for the area of research at the Center for Rice Research amounted to 76.25 mm with a return period of 2 years and Gumbel distribution. The maximum effluent discharge occurs in the drainage channel number 88 is 117.30 lt / sec with 14.15 ha area.

Judul: Peptides Hydrolysate Derived from Collagen of Snakehead Murrel (Channa striata) Skin Demonstrate Anti-oxidant and Anti-cholesterol Activities.
Abstrak: Anti-cholesterol and anti-oxidant play crucial role to combat cardiovascular disease (CVD) related to formation of arterial plagues from oxidation of cholesterol. In the past decades, research on bioactive peptides demonstrating anti-cholesterol and anti-oxidant activities have been reported as the alternative drugs. In this study, acid soluble collagen was extracted from the skin of snakehead murrel and employed to induce production of collagenase by Bacillus licheniformis F11.4. The collagenases secreted were in turn purified through AKTA Purifier (ion exchange, DEAE column) and used to produce peptides hydrolysate. The purified enzymes were grouped in two distinct collagenase fractions, designated as fraction D and F. Peptides hydrolysate produced by the fraction D was found to demonstrate HMG-CoA inhibitor activity comparable to pravastatin and limited anti-oxidant activity. Meanwhile, peptides hydrolysate generated using the fraction F demonstrated anti-oxidant activity comparable to BHT (2mM), vitamin C (2mM) and vitamin E (2mM), but limited HMG-CoA activity. Combination of the fraction D and F resulted in substantial HMG-CoA inhibition and anti-oxidant activities.
