Judul: Pengaruh Penggunaan Ekstrak Sargassum spp terhadap Kesegaran Fillet Ikan Kembung (Rastrelliger sp)
Abstrak: Ikan mengandung berbagai senyawa yang diperlukan oleh tubuh yang terdiri dari protein, lemak, karbohidrat, vitamin dan garam-garam mineral sebagai sumber energi, membantu pertumbuhan tubuh dan mempertinggi daya tahan tubuh. Ikan merupakan salah satu bahan pangan yang mudah membusuk, oleh karena itu berbagai usaha dilakukan untuk memperpanjang daya awet antara lain dengan aditif makanan. Aditif makanan dapat berasal dari sumber alami dan bahan pengawet kimia. Zat antibakteri yang berasal dari alga laut marga Saryassum memililci prospek sebagai aditif makanan untuk pengawetan pangan, selain itu perlu juga diperhatikan faktor keamanan/lcesehatan terhadap Iconsumen. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mendapatkan ekstrak dari ganggang laut yang mengandung substansi zat antibakteri dan mempelajari pengaruh penambahan ekstrak ganggang laut Sargassuln spp dalam pengawetan fillet ikan kembung (Rastrelliger sp) .

Judul: Ekstraksi zat antibakteri dari Sargassum sp. dam aplikasinya sebagai zat pengawet filet ikan Kembung (Rastrelliger sp.)
Abstrak: Ekstraksi zat antibakteri dari rumput laut dilakukan dengan cara mengekstrak rumput laut jenis Sargassum sp dengan pelarut metanol melalui pengadukan ("stirring") selama 12 jam. Rumput laut diblender selama kira-kira 2 menit dalam pelarut metanol. Kemudian dilakukan pengadukan dengan menggunakan pengaduk magnetik selama 12 jam. Setelah itu disaring dengan kertas saring. Supernatan dievaporasi pada suhu kurang dari 41°C. Pelarutnya diuapkan dengan "freeze dryer". Hasilnya diaplikasikan sebagai pengawet pada filet ikan kembung (Rastrelliger sp). Ikan kembung segar disiangi, di filet dan dicuci. Setelah dicuci ikan dikelompokkan menjadi lima kelompok, masing-masing kelompok diberi perlakuan sebagai berikut: ikan tanpa perendaman dalam ekstrak kasar (A0), direndam dalam ekstrak kasar 1% (A1), direndam dalam ekstrak kasar 2% (A2), direndam dalam ekstrak kasar 3% (A3), dan direndam dalam ekstrak kasar 4% (A4). Perendaman dilakukan selama 1 jam. Setelah satu jam kemudian masing-masing kelompok ikan disimpan pada suhu kamar selama 12 jam. ...

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.
