Judul: Pengembangan Front End Aplikasi IPB Connect Berbasis Web pada Modul Alumni dan Mahasiswa Menggunakan Metode Lean UX
Abstrak: Pertumbuhan jumlah alumni terus bertambah setiap tahun, oleh karena itu semakin tinggi juga kebutuhan untuk menjaring dan mempererat tali silatuhrahmi para alumni pada satu wadah. Berdasarkan alasan tersebut pengembang sebelumnya membangun aplikasi IPB Connect. Pengembangan sebelumnya masih memiliki kekurangan berupa saran-saran dari user, oleh karena itu aplikasi IPB Connect akan dikembangkan lebih lanjut. Fokus pengembangan selanjutnya adalah pengembangan bagian Front End pada modul Alumni dan Mahasiswa. Dengan menggunakan metode yang sama pada pengembangan ini yaitu metode Lean UX. Prototipe aplikasi ini dibuat dengan menggunakan bahasa pemrograman HTML, CSS, dan Javascript. Framework Javascript yang akan digunakan yaitu AngularJS. Hasil dari pengembangan aplikasi IPB Connect telah dilakukan pengujian ke beberapa pengguna dan dari hasil pengujian terhadap pengguna dapat disimpulkan bahwa penelitian pengembangan aplikasi IPB Connect sudah sesuai dengan apa yang dibutuhkan oleh pengguna.

Judul: Pengembangan Aplikasi IPB Connect Modul Alumni dan Mahasiswa Berbasis Web Menggunakan Lean UX
Abstrak: Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) merupakan salah satu perguruan tinggi tertua di Indonesia. Setiap tahun IPB sudah meluluskan banyak alumni dan tercatat telah meluluskan 133.788 lulusan sampai dengan Januari 2016. Aplikasi IPB Connect ditujukan untuk alumni dan mahasiswa Institut Pertanian Bogor dan berfokus kepada pertukaran informasi. Pembuatan aplikasi ini dibagi menjadi dua arsitektur back-end dan front-end. Penelitian ini berfokus pada perancangan front-end aplikasi IPB Connect pada modul Mahasiswa dan Alumni menggunakan metode Lean UX. Metode Lean UX memiliki empat tahapan, yaitu Declare Assumptions, Create an MVP, Run an Experiment, dan Feedback and Research. Metode Lean UX mengutamakan kolaborasi tim dan satu user yag menguasai permasalahan untuk saling bertukar pikiran. Aplikasi IPB Connect berbasis web telah berhasil diimplemetasikan dan memiliki fitur lowongan pekerjaan, event dan reuni, explore alumni dan share memories.

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.
