Abstrak: Strawberries (Fragaria vesca) are the fruit of herbaceous plants which were first discovered in Chile, the United States. Fruit confectionery or candied fruit is fruit preserved with sugar. Candied processing can be grouped into wet and dry process. The different types of wet and dry candied views of the process after a soaking in sugar solution.

The design process undertaken to determine the Business Plan: Net Present Value (NPV) of business, B / C Ratio, IRR, Pay Back Period (PBP) and Break Even Point, which will determine the business whether viable to run or not. The process of calculation are financial analysis / feasibility studies, market potential of candied strawberry industry are still open, the location chosen for this industry is Ciwidey with certain considerations. Based on the calculation of costs and production capacity, the sale price of candied strawberries were Rp 125.000/kg. Total production capacity of 13.520 kg / year with a workforce of 12 people. Based on the analysis of financially, this project NPV Rp. 1.070.841.068, -; IRR at 33%; B / C ratio of 2.4, and PBP for 4 years and 4 months so it can be concluded that the Candied StrawberriesIndustry is worth to establish. Based on the sensitivity analysis, the industry will be established if it is not feasible to achieve price increases of raw materials for 22.3% or decline in selling prices by 12.4%

Abstrak: Puncak Berry Farm is an agribussiness company in west java that developed the business of strowberries and vegetables cultivating for the needs of its agrotourims. The study aimed to analyze the combination of productions that bring in the optimal return. The analysis method that used in this study is Linnear Programming (LP) which from the models of goals and abstacles function. The result shows that the residual value of polybag that used for production, in the actual condition the value greater that zero, while the residual value on the optimal condition is zero. In the other side, the resource on the optimal condition shows the excess, it seen from the slack or surplus value that greater that zero.

Judul: Perbandingan Karakteristik Anatomi Skelet Kepala Komodo (Varanus komodoensis) dan Biawak Air (Varanus salvator).
Abstrak: Komodo dan biawak air diklasifikasikan dalam Ordo Squamata dan Famili Varanidae. Meskipun kedua hewan ini termasuk dalam ordo dan famili yang sama tetapi perannya di alam berbeda. Komodo sebagai predator utama memiliki ukuran tengkorak yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan ukuran tengkorak biawak air yang berperan sebagai predator opportunistik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari komparasi karakteristik struktur skelet kepala komodo (Varanus komodoensis) dengan skelet kepala biawak air (Varanus salvator). Struktur kepala ini dikaitkan dengan fungsi skelet kepala untuk mendukung perilaku sehari-hari. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara mengamati dan mengukur tulang-tulang penyusun skelet kepala komodo dan biawak air, serta mengamati perilaku sehari-hari kedua hewan melalui pengamatan video. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ukuran skelet kepala komodo memiliki panjang 21.9 cm, lebar 11.6 cm, dan tinggi 8.9 cm. Skelet kepala biawak air memiliki panjang 16.0 cm, lebar 7.0 cm, dan tinggi 5.0 cm. Komodo memiliki gigi marginal dan lingual dengan tipe gigi pleurodont dan ziphodont, yaitu bentuk gigi seperti pedang dan melengkung ke arah lateral. Biawak air memiliki gigi marginal dengan tipe pleurodont yang tumbuh disamping rahang dengan satu gigi pengganti pada setiap gigi marginal. Hubungan antar tulang penyusun skelet kepala komodo relatif longgar dan memiliki os temporale yang sangat berkembang, sehingga pembukaan mulut komodo sangat lebar dibandingkan biawak air yang tidak memiliki kraniokinesis. Kedua hewan ini memiliki canalis intercisivum yang terdapat pada palatum durum menghubungkan cavum oris dan cavum nasi. Secara fungsional, saluran ini dikaitkan dengan kemampuan penciuman yang tajam karena saluran ini berhubungan dengan organ vomeronasale. Perbedaan struktur skelet kepala komodo dan biawak air berperan dalam melakukan aktifitas sehari-hari kedua hewan ini.
