Judul: Program Ekstraksi file-file database
Abstrak: Pengolahan data pada Sistem Database Terdistribusi mempunyai konsep penting yaitu terjalinnya interkoneksi antar database-database lokal yang ada. Ini dapat dilakukan jika ada program aplikasi global yang baik dan dapat menangani berbagai kemungkinan perbedaan format data mengingat adanya otonomi yang wajar pada tiap database lokal. Salah satu bentuk aplikasi global yang dipertimbangkan ialah program aplikasi ekstraksi data. Program EKSTRAK versi 1.0 ialah salah satu alternatif bentuk program aplikasi ekstraksi data yang dapat mengekstrak data dari file-file data berbeda jenis berdasarkan suatu kondisi query yang didefinisikan. Program ini dirancang selain dapat dipakai pada lingkungan komputer pemakai-tunggal (single-user) juga dapat dipakai pada lingkungan banyak-pemakai (multi-user) atau Local Area Network.

Judul: Perbandingan alokasi file sistem terpusat dan terdistribusi
Abstrak: Awalnya pada sebuah jaringan, file-file hanya disimpan pada satu server saja, seiring dengan kebutuhan dan perkembangan teknologi maka sekarang file-file sering disimpan secara terdistribusi. Kekonsistenan dan efisiensi adalah salah satu yang harus diperhatikan pada penyimpanan file secara terdistribusi, dan salah satu cara untuk menangani hal tersebut adalah dengan algoritma alokasi file. Beberapa algoritma alokasi file antara lain alokasi file sistem terpusat dan alokasi file sistem terdistribusi. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan perbandingan untuk mengetahui perbedaan kinerja antara kedua algoritma tersebut. Perbandingan tersebut dilakukan dengan menggunakan simulasi komputer. Beberapa perbandingan kinerja yang dilaksanakan adalah dengan perbedaan selang waktu kedatangan rata-rata. perbedaan ukuran file dan perbedaan persentase read dan write. Hasil simulasi ini memberikan beberapa data, yaitu duration dan throughput. Hasil perbandingan antara kedua metode tersebut menunjukkan bahwa metode alokasi file sistem terdistribusi memiliki lebih banyak keunggulan dibandingkan dengan metode alokasi file sistem terpusat, yaitu duration yang lebih kecil dan throughput yang lebih besar.

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.
