Judul: Land use planning for Areca-based farming system toward Sustainable agriculture development in Krueng Simpo sub watershed
Abstrak: Low land productivity is the main problem of upland farming systems in Sub DAS Krueng Simpo. This is likely due to inadequate agrotechnologies and soil and water corservation technigues on upland farming systems. Therefore, it is presumed that the existing upland farming systems is not sustainable. Objectives of this research were 1) to identify and to evaluate land use characteristics and agrotechnologies on upland farming systems, (2) to develop alternatives of sustainable upland farming systems. Identification and upland farming systems were conducted useing survey method, evaluation of land use was conducted through land capability evaluation using method of Klingebiel and Montgomery, and developing alternatives of improved upland farming systems were carried out using USLE model. Results of this research showed that land use in the area was dominanated by underbrush, fallowed by forest and mixed garden with undulating topography and high erosion as limiting factors. All type of land-uses are generally suited to their land capability classes. Upland farming systems were generally dominated by areca-based farming systems with predicted erosion rate was ranged from 15.5 – 90.9 tons/ha/year; it was much greater than the local tolerable soil loss (TSL, 26.9 tons/ha/year). Total farmers income on upland farming systems was much lower than the income that can suppart worth life living standard (KHL, Rp 16.000.000/household/yr). Improved areca-based farming systems with appropriate agrotechnologies including balance fertilization, countruction of ridge and traditional terraces as well as raising livestocks can decrease erosion to less than local tolerable soil loss and to increase farmers income to more than worth life living standard.

Abstrak: Low land productivity is the main problem of upland farming systems in Sub DAS Molompar. This is likely due to inadequate agrotechnologies and soil and water corservation technigues on upland farming systems. Therefore, it is presumed that the existing upland farming systems is not sustainable. Objectives of this research were 1) to identify and to evaluate land use characteristics and agrotechnology of coconut based farming system, (2) to develop alternatives of coconut based farming system. Identification and upland coconut based farming systems were conducted useing survey method, evaluation of land use was conducted through land capability evaluation using method of Klingebiel and Montgomery, and developing alternatives of improved upland coconut based farming systems were carried out using USLE model. Results of this research showed that land use in the area coconut based was dominanated by underbrush, fallowed by forest and mixed garden with undulating topography and high erosion as limiting factors. All type of land-uses are generally suited to their land capability classes. Upland farming systems were generally dominated by coconutbased farming systems with predicted erosion rate was ranged from 1.6-93.5 tons/ha/year; it was much greater than the local tolerable soil loss 27.00-36.00 tons/ha/year. Total farmers income on upland farming systems was much lower Rp 4.717.500-12.119.500/household/yr than the income that can suppart worth life living standard Rp 17.200.000/household/yr. Improved coconut-based farming systems with appropriate agrotechnologies including balance fertilization, countruction of ridge and traditional terraces as well as raising livestocks can decrease erosion to less than local tolerable soil loss and to increase farmers income to more than worth life living standard.

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.
