Judul: Persepsi Masyarakat terhaciap Telur Ayam Omega-3 eli Bogar
Abstrak: Omega-3 egg is modificated egg with higher nutrition content than conventional egg and has a lot benefits for health and intelligence. This study aimed to identify public perception on omega-3 egg and its benefits by dividing them into several categories. There were 50 selected sample of respondents having knowledge about omega-3 eggs which are also divided into five characteristic. There are pregnant women, infants mother, educated at least bachelor people, disease susceptible age (45-60) years, and the elderly (> 60) years. Respondents were given eleven questions about the advantages of omega-3 egg and five choices of virtues in consuming omega-3 eggs. The result indicated that all categories of respondents agree with all the advantages of omega-3 eggs. While, the virtue in consuming omega-3 eggs are chosen selected by respondents were toddlers intelligence. In conc1usion,the study has showed that society in Bogor area received omega-3 egg products as adventageous products for health and brain intelligence

Judul: Persepsi Konsumen terhadap Daging Kelinci (Studi Kasus di Kabbupaten Bogor)
Abstrak: Kelinci adalah salah satu ternak penghasil daging sehat yang dapat dijadikan sumber protein karena litter size yang tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasikan karakteristik, kebiasaan umum konsumsi, dan persepsi konsumen terhadap daging kelinci. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode wawancara terhadap 100 responden dengan teknik purposive sampling. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif untuk mendeskripsikan karakteristik, kebiasaan konsumsi, dan persepsi konsumen. Skala persepsi responden diukur menggunakan skala likert 1 sampai 4. Pengolahan data menggunakan uji validitas dan reliabilitas untuk menguji kuesioner dan uji Kruskall Wallis untuk melihat adanya perbedaan pendapat pada tiap karakteristik konsumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsumen daging kelinci mayoritas mengonsumsi daging kelinci pertama kali di rumah makan dengan pilihan metode panggang sebagai cara memasak favorit. Konsumen daging kelinci memilih untuk membeli daging langsung pada peternak kelinci. Persepsi konsumen terhadap daging kelinci tergolong baik, ditunjukkan dengan rataan total skor 3,10 pada semua aspek yang diamati. Daging kelinci dapat diterima oleh masyarakat Kabupaten Bogor sebagai salah satu sumber protein hewani., Rabbits are one of the livestock producing healthy meat that can be used as a source of protein because of the high litter size. This study aimed to identify characteristics, general consumption habits, and consumer perceptions of rabbit meat. This study used an interview method of 100 respondents with purposive sampling techniques. The research method used is descriptive analysis to describe the characteristics, consumption habits, and perceptions of consumers. The respondent's perception scale was measured using a likert scale of 1 to 4. Data processing uses validity and reliability tests to test questionnaires and Kruskall Wallis tests to see if there are differences of opinion on each consumer characteristic. The results showed that the majority of rabbit meat consumers consumed rabbit meat for the first time at restaurants with the choice of roast method as a favorite cooking method. Rabbit meat consumers choose to buy meat directly from rabbit breeders. Consumer perception of rabbit meat is good, indicated by an average total score of 3.10 on all aspects observed. Rabbit meat can be accepted by the people of Bogor Regency as a source of animal protein

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.
