Judul: Tingkah Laku Ingestive dan Seksual serta Agonistik Puyuh Jantan (Coturnix-coturnix japonica) pada Kepadatan Kandang yang Berbeda
Abstrak: Quail have considerable potential as a producer of eggs. Some of them likes C.japonica can spawn more than 300 points in one year at the first production. Quail livestock production can developed optimally in good maintenance management. Factors of stocking density, sex ratio and behavior could be affected to egg production. The subject of this research was to determine the optimal stable density on the behavior of quail. There were three treatment in this research, first density (there was 4 male and 8 female), second density (there was 5 male and 10 female) and third density (there was 6 male and 12 female). The treatment production indicated that the P1 and P2 showed the greatest frequency of sexual was 0,11, P2 showed the greates frequency of agonistic was 0,07 and Ingestive behavior was 7,13. The most highest sexual behavior frequency was showed at stocking density P1 and P2. The most highest agonistic behavior frequency at stocking density P2 and the most highest Ingestive behavior frequency at stocking density P3.

Judul: Performa Produksi dan Kualitas Telur Puyuh (Coturnix-coturnix japonica) pada Kepadatan Kandang yang Berbeda
Abstrak: Stocking density is one of important environmental factor which is need to be considered in generating good production and quality of japanese quail (Coturnix-coturnix japonica) egg. This study was aimed to investigate the effects of various stocking density and determine the most optimum cage density on production and quality of quail egg. A total of 135 of japanese quails were used in this study. The quails were kept in cages with a stocking density of 12 birds, 15 birds, and 18 birds on 62 x 50 x 26 cm cages and each level of treatment consisted of 3 replications. Feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, hen day egg production, average egg weight, and mortality rate were recorded. Egg weight, shell weight, shell thickness, yolk colour, Haugh Unit (HU), and yolk index were also investigated. The obtained data were analyzed by using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Data of hen day production and feed conversion were presented descriptively. All traits were not different among treatments. The quails were kept in cages with a stocking density of 12 birds revealed the most optimum egg production according to the data of hen day production and feed conversion.

Judul: Komposit Polisulfon Tersulfonasi-Montmorilonit Untuk Aplikasi Membrane Electrode Assembly Direct Methanol Fuel Cell.
Abstrak: Membran merupakan salah satu komponen penting dalam aplikasi direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), yang berfungsi sebagai sarana penukar proton. Penelitian bertujuan membuat dan mencirikan komposit polisulfon tersulfonasi-montmorilonit (sPSf-mont) untuk aplikasi membrane electrode assembly (MEA) DMFC. Membran polisulfon tersulfonasi dibuat menggunakan oleum pada suhu 40 oC. Kesuksesan sulfonasi dicirikan dengan derajat sulfonasi sebesar 32.63%, ditambah pada spektrum spektrofotometer inframerah transformasi fourier menunjukkan serapan –SO3 di area 1110-1350 cm-1 dan 2000-1667 cm-1. Montmorilonit dikompositkan dengan 2 ragam konsentrasi, yaitu 2% dan 3%. Didapatkan sPSf-mont 3% sebagai membran dengan daya serap air dan titik leleh tertinggi 28.75% dan 553.51 oC. Pengukuran konduktivitas dan uji aplikasi DMFC menunjukkan MEA sPSf-mont 3% sebagai membran dengan konduktivitas dan beda potensial tertinggi, yaitu berturut-turut 11.1280 mS/cm dan 114.1 mV. Tambahan komposit dan modifikasi MEA telah meningkatkan konduktivitas proton membran dengan komposisi terbaik adalah MEA sPSf-mont 3%.
