Judul: Aplikasi bahasa mesin pada perangkat mikroprosesor Z-80 untuk kontrol digital cara proporsional pada mdel pengeringan benih jagung (Zea mays L.)
Abstrak: Mikroprosesor merupakan suatu komponen rangkaian elektronik yang telah menimbulkan perubahan besar dalam cara perancangan sistem elektronik. Dalam penerapannya yang beraneka ragam, mikroprosesor telah digunakan dalam kalkulator saku, instrumen laboratorium, barang komsumer, sistem pengendalian pesawat terbang dan sistem-sistem komputer. Salah satu aplikasi dari pengontrolan suhu ini adalah pada ruang pengering benih jagung. Benih jagung berupa butiran biji jagung yang diperoleh dari tanaman yang telah tua. Untuk menjaga tingkat germinitas benih, maka perlu dilakukan pengontrolan suhu dan kelembaban pada ruang pengeringnya. Suhu yang terlalu rendah dan kelembaban tinggi akan menyebabkan benih tumbuh sebelum waktunya. Sedangkan suhu yang terlalu tinggi akan menyebabkan benih menjadi rusak dan tidak dapat ditanam. Dengan kontrol otomatik maka kondisi suhu dapat terjaga dalam kisaran suhu yang aman dan optimal bagi benih jagung.

Judul: Pembuatan Alat Tanam Benih Jagung (zea mays) Otomatis Berbasis  Mikrokontroler
Abstrak: Until this time, majority of Indonesian farmers plant seeds by using a dibble (conventional method), that needs extra power, more human operators and is ergonomically inefficient. Therefore, a more precision seedling machine is needed to alter the manually seedling process into mechanically seedling process by using seed planter. A seed planter consists of mechanical component and electronic components. The mechanical component includes draft machine, dibble wheels, a supporting wheel, hopper, a metering device , a drainage tube, a fertilizer plot opener, and a covering hole device. The electronic component includes a metering motor, a micro-controller, a magnet sensors, a motor-driver and a electrical power supply. The design methodology used in this research is based on functional and structural design. Moreover, ergonomic values of the designed seed planter are also condidered based on the Indonesian average anthropometries. This dimension of the seed planter is of 130 cm (length) x 100 cm (width) x 90 cm (height) cm. The length of the connecting rod is 110 cm with a wheel diameter of drill 40 cm. The seed storage capacity of the hopper is 3.0 kg. The metering device diameter is 12 cm. The operating capacity of the croping tool is 11.63 hours / ha. The proposed seed planter is designed to be operated by a single human operator with pushing power of 223.71 watts. The enriched feature of the seed planter is precicesness of seeding and and multifunction capabilities (making seed holes, allocating seed & granular pesticide, closing seed holes, producing fertilizing rows).

Judul: Posisi Filogenetik Kura-Kura Carettochelys Insculpta  (Reptillia: Testudinata)
Abstrak: Carettochelys insculpta is an endemic freshwater turtle of southern Papua and northern Australia. Phylogenetic position of this turtle is remain unresolved until now. Most of the research conducted show close relationships of C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. However, some of the research show distance between C. insculpta and members of Trionychidae family. This research is conducted to analyze phylogenetic relationship between C. insculpta and other members of Testudinata using 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and both gene as markers. DNA samples were obtained from three different organisms of C. insculpta. Two species used as outgroups were Alligator mississippiensis and Iguana iguana. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out using Neighbor-Joining method with Felsenstein 1981 (F81) modeltest. A polytomy tree of Testudinata was produced by using 12S rRNA gene. However, analysis using 16S rRNA and both genes as markers confirmed that C. insculpta was located between the Chelonidae and the Trionychidae family.
