Judul: Kajian Klasifikasi Usahatani Ubi Jalar pada Petani Kecil Berdasarkan UU No.20 Tahun 2008, (Studi Kasus di Desa Cikarawang, Kecamatan Dramaga, Kabupaten Bogar, Provinsi Jawa Barat)
Abstrak: Sweet potato has potential as a diversified source of high carbohydrate food, can be used as a food chart, pakanm and industrial raw materials. Reviewing the size of the business in commodity sweet potatoes in pespektif SMEs considered important, sweet potato farming in the perspective of SMEs is measured by net worth and the value of revenues per year, but in the measurement of economic studies of a business can be calculated based on the performance of its business.

Abstrak: The massive growth of sweet potato downstream industries in Indonesia has triggered the excalation of sweet potato availability as derivated product ingredient. Almost seventy percent of national sweet potato production was processd by industries. It leads to sweet potato intensification to increase its level of commercialization. However the uneven distribution of Indonesia economy contribution leads to a different infrastructure and market accessibility development. This study that was conducted in two villages namely Cikarawang and Purwasari aimed to identify the level of commercialization of sweet potato farming due to differences in infrastructure and market accessibility and to analyze the factors that affect the level of commercialization of sweet potato farming. Cikarawang has a closer market accessibility and better infrastructure than Purwasari.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
