Judul: Profitabilitas Usaha Pengolahan dan Nilai Tambah Produk Minyak Kelapa (Studi Kasus : Tiga Usaha Pengolahan Minyak Kelapa di Kabupaten Ciamis)
Abstrak: One of processed products from coconut fruit that already been known is coconut oil. Coconut oil factory is located in Ciamis as an informal businesses. The purpose of this research is to analyze profitability and value added of coconut oil and its side product called galendo. Research was conducted at three coconut oil factories in Ciamis which have different scale. The results of this research show that all factories are profitable. Mr. Nana’s factory with medium scale capacity is the most profitable business. But, factory that produces the most profitable coconut oil and galendo is Mr. Babas’ factory. Highest profitability product is influenced by product innovation. From value added analysis shows Mr. Babas has the highest added value in coconut oil and Mr. Nana has the highest added value in galendo.

Judul: Analysis of Business Development Derivative Products Coconut Processing in Jambi Province
Abstrak: This study analyzes the business development of coconut derivative products processing, i.e. processing of cooking oil, coconut husk and coconut shell charcoal. It is an effort to increase value-added commodities and to increase the coconut farmers’ income. The business will be run through a cooperative business entity in order to achieve the effectiveness and efficiency of business. Feasibility analysis results indicate that the three businesses are feasible to be developed in the district of Tanjung Jabung West, where the Net Present Value is positive, are the Net Benefit Cost Ratio greater than 1. The Internal Rate of Return is greater than interest actual interest and Payback Period of business is faster than a predetermined project period. Development of coconut derivative products processing business based agency cooperative efforts to increase farmers' income up to 17,48 percent per year. It also increases the absorption of human resources and can enhance regional development through the allocation of SHU by 15 percent to fund education, social and environmental development. In addition, its existence is able to absorb the labor of up to 42 people in each area.

Judul: Transisi Fasa Materi Hadronik ke Materi Kuark pada Inti Bintang Neutron.
Abstrak: Bintang neutron terdiri dari beberapa lapisan yang disusun oleh materi nuklir yang berbeda dengan kerapatan yang semakin tinggi ketika mendekati pusat bintang. Inti luar bintang neutron disusun oleh materi hadronik (nukleon, lepton, dan hyperon), sedangkan inti dalam bintang neutron disusun oleh kuark-kuark bebas (up, down, strange) yang saling berinteraksi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mempelajari bagaimana transisi dari inti luar ke inti dalam bintang neutron dengan menggunakan pendekatan RMF (Relativistic Mean Field) untuk materi hadronik dan CIDDM (Confined Isospin Density Dependent Mass) untuk materi kuark. Tekanan transisi diperoleh ketika potensial kimia barion materi hadronik dan materi kuark bernilai sama. Nilai tekanan transisi dengan parameter SU6-TM1 sekitar 87 MeV/fm3 dan diperoleh massa maksimum bintang neutron yaitu 1.92M dengan jari-jari sekitar 8.62 km. Nilai tekanan transisi dengan parameter SU6-G2 sekitar 53 MeV/fm3 dan massa maksimum bintang neutron yaitu 1.88M dengan jari-jari sekitar 8.16 km. Jenis transisi fasa adalah orde satu ditandai dengan diskontinuitas dalam kerapatan energi (adanya mixed phase). Parameter-parameter pada model nuklir yang digunakan menyebabkan perbedaan kekakuan persamaan keadaan (EOS) dari materi hadronik dan materi kuark sehingga nilai tekanan transisi dari fasa hadronik ke fasa kuark juga berbeda.
