Abstrak: Irrigation with closed distribution system using pipes is possible to sedimentation in the pipes, therefore is necessary to design piping system so sedimentation in the pipes can be as minimal as possible. Division box in the tertiary irrigation network is very important in addition to divide discharge proportional to the field also as a sediment control that sedimentation in the pipe to a minimum. The main objective of this research is to design division box in the PVC pipe for irrigated paddy field, so that the results will be: (1) Flow characteristics Analysis in the division box for the most optimal pipeline so that the sedimentation in the pipe to a minimum; (2) Simulation to analyze the flow of sediment and flow characteristics in the piping irrigated using surface water as a source of irrigation water, (3) the relation between the design parameters of division box with the flow based on the diameter of the inlet pipe and outlet pipes. Durst (2008 ) explains that the similarity theory of dimensional analysis is that if the differential equations that describe the flow of the problem is unknown . It is important that dimensional analysis can also be used when the physical relation between the amount of which is not known at all . Division box built in the tertiary canals and the quarter in order to divide the irrigation water to all tertiary and quarter. Models of division box was made to simulate the flow in PVC pipe and division box in the same pipeline so that the quaternary as happened in the real situation on the field . In this research made the model of division box for irrigation piping systems with the circular cross section. Analysis of flow characteristics in the division box using the method of dimensional analysis. At the phase of dimensional analysis to determine the flow characteristics in PVC pipes and division box with choosing the basic unit of the relation between derivative quantities. The graphs of the data model and the simulation results in the field validation results that can be used as a reference in designing the division box in the irrigation network that uses PVC pipe for piping irrigated. Results of this graph can be used to determine the design of division box on tertiary irrigation network optimized so as to minimize the occurrence of sedimentation in the PVC pipe.

Judul: Perencanaan Sistem Jaringan Perpipaan Bertekanan untuk Irigasi Padi Sawah di Balai Besar Penelitian Tanaman Padi (Subang, Jawa Barat).
Abstrak: Indonesian Center for Rice Research (ICRR) is a research institute that need precision and high accuracy to strengthen the analysis of research at the institute. One of those research is water balance analysis that need infrastructure such as irrigation. The objective of this research was to design burried pressure pipeline network system for paddy irrigation which starts from the determination of the diameter to the structural analysis. Diameter determination is done by combining the Bernoulli and Darcy-Colebrook-White equation, whereas the structure analysis following the standard of American Water Works Association (AWWA) M41 for pipes made of ductile iron. The results of design indicated that the water from the inlet could not flow by gravity, thus requiring the pump with head difference between the inlet to the outlet was 2.73 m. The main pipe diameters were respectively 36, 30, 24, and 18 in the pipeline while the branch was uniformed with 8 in. Hydraulic gradient along the flow was positive and exceeded the minimum operating pressure at each node, making sure the water can flow throughout both the main and branch pipes. Results of the analysis of the structure of the pipeline due to external loading indicated that the total pressure was still below the maximum bending stress. Total pressure also remained under maximum pressure deflection. Therefore, the pipe can withstand a design load and secure from buckling factor and ring deflection.

Judul: Berat Badan Dan Morfometrik Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis Macularius) Pada Berbagai Umur
Abstrak: Leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) adalah jenis tokek yang hidup di permukaan tanah dan aktif saat fajar dan senja. Studi morfometrik dalam leopard gecko masih terbatas. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengukur dan membandingkan berat badan dan morfometrik leopard gecko dari berbagai umur. Sebanyak 14 ekor leopard gecko (3 ekor jantan dan 11 ekor betina) dikelompokkan menjadi empat kelompok: 0-6 bulan, 7-12 bulan, 13-18 bulan, dan 19-24 bulan. Pengukuran dilakukan setiap bulan selama tiga bulan sehingga hewan dapat ditimbang dan diukur lebih dari sekali. Selama 90 hari pascatetas, pengukuran berat dan panjang dilakukan setiap hari, dua hari, atau setiap minggu tergantung dengan tingkat pertumbuhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelompok umur 0-6 bulan memiliki berat badan 10.69±5.68 g dan total panjang 12.79±3.68 cm; 7-12 bulan memiliki berat badan 16.57±4.52 g dan total panjang 16.7±1.23 cm; 13-18 bulan memiliki berat badan 21.12±3.13 g dan total panjang 19.4±1.15 cm; dan 19-24 bulan memiliki berat badan 27.9±1.53 g dan total panjang 20.8±1.51 cm. Dapat disimpulkan pada leopard gecko kelompok umur 0- 6 bulan memiliki pertumbuhan yang lebih bervariasi pada berat badan, panjang kepala, panjang kaki belakang, dan panjang ekor dibandingkan dengan yang lain.
