Judul: Perbandingan Niali Gizi Tepung Sagu Dan Jagung Sebagai Sumber Karbohidrat Untuk Ternak Monogastrik
Abstrak: Perkembangan peternakan yang semakin pesat pada dewasa : ini mengakibatkan peningkatan kebutuhan bahan makanan ternak asal biji-bijian khususnya jagung, sehingga ada kemungkinan persediaan jagung tidak mencakupi, oleh karena itu perlu dicari bahan makanan bukan biji-bijian seperti sagu atau singkong untuk menggantikan jagung.

Judul: Mengkaji Berbagai Varietas Jagung Sebagai Sumber Energi
Abstrak: Jagung merupakan salah satu bahan makanan utama yang paling unggul dalam kadar energi dan ia merupakan salah sa- tız bahan makanan utama dalam ransum ternak, penggunaannya dalam ransum umumnya 40 - 55 persen. Penelitian ini mencoba mengungkap sedikit tentang kua- litas nutrisi dari berbagai varietas jagung hibrida yang masuk ke Indonesia, termasuk salah satu hasil dari Institut Pertanian Bogor dan juga jagung unggul non-hibrida hasil Balai Penelitian Tanaman Pangan Bogor. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Jurusan Ilmu nutrisi dan Makanan Ternak, Fakultas Peternakan, Institut Pertanian Bo- gor, pada tanggal 6 Desember 1987 sampai dengan 14 Pebruari 1988. Penelitian ini menggunakan 15 ekor tikus "rat" betina strain "Wistar Albino LMR" masa lepas sapih umur 30 hari. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok yang terdiri dari tiga kelompok bobot badan dan masing-masing anggota kelompok diberi perlakuan menurut ransum yang dicobakan yaitu ransum yang mengandung jagung bersari bebas Kalingga, ransum yang mengandung jagung hib- rida C-l, ransum yang mengandung jagung hibrida Pioneer-2, ransum yang mengandung jagung hibrida CP-1, ransum yang mengandung jagung hibrida IPB-4 yang masing-masing merupa- kan perlakuan dari R1, R2, R3, R4 dan R5. Untuk mengeta hui perbedaan antar perlakuan dilakukan Uji Jarak Duncan. Hasil percobaan dengan penggunaan ransum perlakuan R1, R2, R3, R4 dan R5, Berdasarkan sidik ragam tidak me nunjukkan perbedaan yang nyata terhadap konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan dan efisiensi penggunaan ransum. Namun jika ditinjau dari rata-rata produksi (ton/ha), harga benih sebar per kg, umur panen, ketahanan terhadap bulai dan efisiensi penggunaan makanan, maka jagung ber sari bebas Kalingga adalah jagung terbaik.

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.
