Judul: Penentuan Rute Pendistribusian Minuman Ringan Menggunakan Metode Heuristik
Abstrak: Distribution of goods is one important part in marketing activities. Therefore, it should be done effectively and efficiently. In this article, the study is focused on soft-drink distribution in order to minimize distribution cost, which includes two activities, i.e. delivery and pick-up. The methods used are nearest neighbour heuristic, petal heuristic and some other methods for route improvement. The methods for route improvement are 2-opt method, 3-opt method, restricted 2- interchange, and route merge methods. The study case results show that the more improvements are given, the better route will be obtained.

Judul: Penerapan Metode Heuristik Dalam Supply Chain Network Untuk Menentukan Jalur Distribusi Terpendek
Abstrak: Supply chain management is a process of manufacture and delivery of goods to consumers. One of the main factors of supply chain management is supply chain networks. Supply chain networks consist of two main parts, i.e. , the location of production and the distribution process. Both are related to the determination of optimum distribution channels or routes from producers to consumers which are related to time, distance, and vehicle capacity. This problem is called with the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). This research work was conducted in the supply chain division of KATRACO CV, a private company that engaged in the distribution of fuel oil to gas stations and several companies in Central Java and surrounding areas. This research aims to design a supply chain network for VRPTW case to minimize the total distance. In this work we used a heuristic method , i.e. , sweep heuristic, saving heuristic, and the nearest depot heuristic as constructing route. We also used 2-opt, relocate, and exchange methods as route improvement methods to determine a better routes. Furthermore, VRPTW problem is solved using ILOG Dispatcher program version 2.1 and ILOG Solver version 4.4, which is run in Microsoft Visual C + + version 6.0.

Judul: Karakteristik Anatomi Skelet Kepala Buaya senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii).
Abstrak: Buaya sepit atau senyulong (Tomistoma schlegelii) merupakan jenis buaya asli Indonesia yang berhabitat di sungai-sungai Sumatera, Kalimantan, dan juga pedalaman Sulawesi. Salah satu ciri khas buaya senyulong adalah bentuk moncong yang runcing dan sempit, namun hingga saat ini informasi mengenai struktur skelet kepala buaya senyulong sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari karakteristik anatomi skelet kepala buaya senyulong yang dikatikan dengan fungsi dan perilakunya. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksploratif dengan melakukan pengamatan, pencatatan, dan pengambilan gambar dari skelet kepala buaya senyulong. Skelet kepala berukuran panjang 70 cm, lebar 29 cm, dan tingggi 17 cm dengan permukaan kasar pada os nasale, os frontale, os maxilla, os mandibula, os lacrimale, os jugale. Jumlah gigi pada buaya ini sebanyak 78 buah, terdiri dari 4 buah gigi premaxila, 16 buah gigi maxila, dan 19 buah gigi mandibula. Pada regio orbitalis ditemukan dua pasang fenestrae temporales yang berkembang baik. Fenestra supratemporale merupakan lubang oval yang membentang di sepanjang os parietale. Fenestra infratemporale berbentuk segitiga dan dibatasi oleh os squamosum, os postorbitale, os jugulare, dan os quadratum. Os mandibula hewan ini mempunyai symphysis mandibularis yang panjang yaitu garis yang melintang di corpus mandibulae. Secara fungsional ukuran symphysis mandibularis berkaitan dengan adaptasi hewan terhadap diet makan.
