Judul: Studi Kelarutan Gula dan Komponen Kimia Polisakarida Beberapa Pakan Konsentrat Sumber Energi yang Berbeda Kualitasnya
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jumlah gula yang terlarut dalam pelarut air, basa atau asam serta untuk mengetahui komponen kimia polisakarida beberapa pakan konsentrat sumber energi yang mempunyai kualitas berbeda. Materi yang digunakan adalah jagung kuning, sorgum, dedak padi dan gaplek yang masing-masing terdiri dari kualitas bagus dan jelek. Bahan pakan tersebut digiling kemudian dilarutkan dalam air, asam 0,02 N atau basa 0,02 N untuk mengisolasi polisakaridanya. Bahan kemudian diambil supernatannya dengan menggunakan centrifuge (3500 rpm). Peubah yang diukur adalah total gula dari bahan yang larut dalam air, basa dan asam sebelum dan setelah dialisis; persentase oligosakarida dari total gula sebelum dialisis; persentase peningkatan total gula dan oligosakarida bahan pada pelarut basa dan asam dibandingkan air serta komponen kimia polisakarida sorgum dan gaplek.

Judul: Kajian Penyaringan Sirup Gula
Abstrak: Kehadiran gula dalam industri rninuman ringan sangatlah penting. Gula yang tidak dimurnikan biasa disebut "plantation white sugar" menyebabkan sirup gula berwarna, tidak jernih dan terbentuk "f lok" . Oleh karena itu diperlukan penyaringan sirup gula dengan bahan-bahan pembantu penyaringan untuk meningkatkan hasil filtrasi Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mempelajari pengaruh perlakuan phosphat (B) yaitu tanpa phosphat (B1) dan 0.366 ml phosphat (B2); perlakuan panas (C) yaitu tanpa panas (C1) dan suhu 8O0c (C2) ; perlakuan tanah diatomae yaitu tanpa tanah diatomae (Dl) dan 1.7 gram tanah diatomae (D2) dan perlakuan flokulan yaitu tanpa flokulan (El) dan 0.4 ml flokulan terhadap ketiga jenis gula (A) yaitu gula impor (Al), gula Rejo Agung (A21 dan gula Madukismo (A3) pada penyaringan sirup gula untuk meningkatlcan kejernihan gula cair yang dihasilkan. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah rancangan faktorial acak lengkap dengan lima faktor diukur secara duplo dan dua kali ulangan.

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.
