Judul: Komposisi dan Distribusi Otot Kambing Kacang dan Kambing Peranakan Etawah yang Dipotong pada Bobot Sedang.
Abstrak: A total of 36 goats which consist of 26 kacang goats and 10 peranakan etawah goats were used to evaluate the muscle composition and distribution slaughtered in medium body weight (16.49 kg). Compositition of carcass in slaugter weight, carcass weight and a half weight carcass kacang goats were significantly different (P<0.01) than PE goats. The expensive muscle group (1+3+5) were 52.15% of carcasses muscle of kacang goats and 51.47% of carcassses muscle of peranakan etawah goats. The other muscle group 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 were 4.75, 12.02, 3.82, 3.20, 7.22 and 16.76% of kacang goats 5.34, 12.56, 4.07, 3.06, 7.11 and 16.42% peranakan etawah goats. The weight of group 1 (proximal thigh) on kacang goats was heavier than PE goats. Percentage of all weight in both breed goats have relatively equal proportions except group 2 that was percentage distal thigh muscle PE goats was larger than kacang goats at the medium slaughter weight.

Judul: Perbandingan Distribusi Otot Kambing Kacang dan Peranakan Etawah pada Bobot Lepas
Abstrak: A total of 43 goats which consist of 27 kacang goats and 16 peranakan etawah goatswas used to evaluate the comparison of muscle distribution between kacang goat and PE goat slaughtered over the weight 10 Kg. The data of body components was analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) while muscle of distribution and other body components were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with slaughter weight, half carcass weight as a covariable. The result showed that groups of muscles and body components among these breeds were no significantly different (P>0.05). There were no significantly differences among breeds in muscles of groups except the percentages of muscles of groups 3 and the muscles of groups 5. There were no significantly differences among breeds in body components except inter muscle fat weight, subcutan fat weight, inter muscle fat percentage, subcutan fat percentage, and kidney fat percentage. In general, the major muscles groups percentage (groups 1+3+5) in kacang goat is 60.35% and 60.71% for peranakan etawah goat.

Judul: Utilization of terra/MODIS L1B data for analysis of horizontal wind profile in the troposphere
Abstrak: This study was concerned with horizontal wind derived from data collected with the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the NASA’s Earth Observation System (EOS)-Terra satellite. The aim of this study is to develop a method for the estimation of horizontal wind movement in the troposphere based on Navier-Stokes equation. The method was applied to a calibrated and geolocated Terra/MODIS L1B 1 km data set. The data inputs to estimate surface temperature are retrieved from TIR (Thermal Infrared) bands 31 (10.780 μm to 11.280 μm) and 32 (11.770 μm to 12.270 μm). The obtained surface temperatures were later used to approximate geopotential height on a constant-pressure surface by using the modified Poisson equation. The main assumptions used are the hydrostatic equilibrium, ideal gas law, constant lapse rate and constant acceleration of gravity. Based on the distribution of geopotential height, the pressure gradient force is measured by the gradient of geopotential on an isobaric coordinate to present the horizontal wind profile. For certain topographic areas especially in the mountain ranges, there was a disadvantage of using pressure as a vertical coordinate which lead to inaccuracy. In spite of that, Terra/MODIS L1B data with 1 km spatial resolution can be used to estimate the horizontal wind movement in the troposphere.
