Judul: E-government: Sistem Informasi Manajemen Persuratan pada Dinas Penanaman Modal dan Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu.
Abstrak: E-government adalah penggunaan teknologi informasi oleh pemerintah untuk memberikan informasi dan pelayanan yang berkaitan dengan instansi pemerintah. Dinas Penanaman Modal dan Pelayanan Terpadu Satu Pintu (DPMPTSP) Kabupaten Bogor menerapkan egovernment untuk mengatasi permasalahan dalam pengelolaan surat seperti banyaknya surat yang hilang dan kesalahan dalam pembuatan laporan surat yang dilaporkan ke Dinas Arsip dan Perpustakaan Kabupaten Bogor. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun sebuah Sistem Informasi Manajemen Persuratan dengan fungsi mengelola surat keluar, mengelola surat masuk, melihat laporan surat masuk, melihat laporan surat keluar, melihat FAQ, melihat contoh surat, disposisi surat serta dapat mencetak daftar kegiatan. Sistem dibangun dengan menggunakan metode prototyping dengan dua kali iterasi dan menggunakan Framework CodeIgniter. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian usability diperoleh nilai rata-rata kepuasan 80,464 dan dapat disimpulkan bahwa pegawai DPMPTSP Kabupaten Bogor sangat puas dalam menggunakan sistem.

Judul: Pengembangan Website Administrator dan Usability Sistem Pelayanan Publik Tingkat Kecamatan.
Abstrak: Upaya yang dilakukan pemerintah dalam mencapai pelayanan pemerintahan yang lebih baik (good govermance) yaitu dengan menerapkan e-government. Penerapan pelayanan publik secara online membuat masyarakat menjadi lebih mudah, cepat dan efisien dalam mendapatkan pelayanan, karena masyarakat dapat mengakses media yang telah disediakan dimana saja, dengan memanfaatkan internet dan mengakses media yang disediakan. Penelitian ini difokuskan untuk pengembangan sistem pelayanan publik kecamatan Bogor Utara dengan menggunakan metode Waterfall, dengan menambahkan modul yang diperlukan oleh admin yaitu berupa fungsi pencarian, SMS gateway dan pengembangan usability didasarkan dari pendekatan Nielsen. Hasil dari pengujian usability yaitu 44% yang bukan masalah usability, 26% masalah usability kecil yang memiliki prioritas rendah, 26% masalah usability utama dengan prioritas tinggi dan 4% masalah usability yang sangat penting dengan prioritas perbaikan yang paling utama.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
