Judul: Penjadwalan Mata Kuliah dengan Meminimumkan Banyaknya Ruangan
Abstrak: Course scheduling at Common First Year Program of Bogor Agricultural University (also known as TPB IPB) is determined by the number of available classrooms and the number of courses that are offered at TPB IPB. The university has to offer all of the courses that have to be taken by all of the first year students at IPB. All of the students are divided into a number of paralel classes. The size of the first year students implied the number of paralel classes is large, and this will increase the complexity of scheduling process.This study presents an optimization model for class scheduling at TPB IPB. Optimization model uses integer programming whose objective function is to minimize the number of required classrooms. The solution of the model is the schedule for each class for each course offered by TPB IPB, and the schedule obtained requires the minimum number of classrooms.

Judul: Scheduling of Lectures at the Educational of General Competence  Program IPB
Abstrak: Penjadwalan perkuliahan merupakan masalah yang sering dihadapi oleh setiap perguruan tinggi termaksud Program Pendidikan Kompetensi Umum (PPKU) Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB). PPKU menyusun penjadwalan perkuliahan untuk semua mahasiswa baru dari berbagai program studi di IPB. Penjadwalan ini perlu memperhatikan banyak aspek-aspek seperti waktu, ruangan, dan sebagainya. Pemodelan ini dimodelkan dalam bentuk integer programming dengan tujuan meminimalkan kegiatan perkuliahan pada waktu-waktu tertentu yang dihindari, yaitu periode waktu yang dianggap terlalu pagi (07.00-08.00 WIB), waktu istirahat makan siang (12.00-13.00 WIB), terlalu sore (17.00-18.00 WIB), dan Rapat Rabuan dosen (10.00-12.00 WIB). Dari hasil implementasi, diperoleh penjadwalan perkuliahan yang memenuhi segala ketentuan yang ada., Lecture scheduling is a problem often faced by every university, including the Educational of General Competence Program (PPKU) at Bogor Agricultural University (IPB). PPKU prepares lecture schedules for all new students from various study programs at IPB. Scheduling requires attention to details such as time and location. This modeling is in the form of integer programming with the goals to minimize class schedules at specific avoided times, namely the earliest time slot (07.00-08.00 WIB), lunch break (12.00- 13.00 WIB), the latest time slot (17.00-18.00 WIB), and regular Wednesday lecturer’s meeting (10.00-12.00 WIB). After analyzing the implementation results, we have obtained a lecture schedule that satisfies all the given conditions.

Judul: Hydroxyapatite-Chitosan Composite Coating on Stainless Steel 316 to Improve Corrosion Resistance
Abstrak: Metals that were used in bone implantation should have good corrosion resistance that were not easily corroded when implanted into the body. Metal corrosion resistance of stainless steel 316 can be enhanced through the metal coating by hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite with composition ratio of hydroxyapatite (gram) and chitosan 3% (mL) 0.2:0, 0.2:0.1, 0.2:0.5, 0.2:1.0, and 0.2:1.5. Besides improving the corrosion resistance of metal, the presence of chitosan also maintain the position of hydroxyapatite on metal surfaces. Corrosion resistance increases with increasing amount of chitosan added and the best composition of hydroxyapatite-chitosan composite was 0.2:1.0.
