Judul: Kualitas Fermentasi Dan Kandungan Nutrien Silase Beberapa Jenis Rumput Yang Dipanen Pada Waktu Berbeda
Abstrak: The aims of the research were to analyze fermentation quality. The research used randomized factorial design (5x3) with factor A was grass sources (Pennisetum purpureum, Pennisetum purputhypoides, Panicum maximum, Brachiaria humidicola, and Paspalum notatum) and factor B was the harvest time (morning, noon, and night). The results showed that grass sources and harvest time significantly (P<0.05) influenced pH, solubility and Water Soluble Carbohydrate (WSC). Solubility, those of pH and WSC from Pennisetum purputhypoides were higher than those of the others, and pH and WSC lost from grass harvested at night were higher than the others silage. There were interaction between grass Pennisetum purputhypoides and time of harvesting. It is concluded that kind and harvesting time of the grass influenced pH, WSC and silage solubility but it did not affect sillage dry matter lost and number of lactic acid bacteria.

Judul: Kualitas Silase Daun Singkong, Daun Ubi Jalar, dan Daun Lamtoro yang Dipanen pada Waktu Berbeda
Abstrak: dijadikan bahan pakan. Pemberian pakan hijauan pada ternak dapat berupa hijauan segar atau berupa hijauan yang diawetkan seperti hay dan silase. Silase merupakan pakan ternak yang dihasilkan melalui proses fermentasi an aerob dengan kandungan air yang tinggi. Keberhasilan dalam proses silase salah satunya ditentukan oleh kandungan Water Soluble Carbohydrate (WSC) yang ada pada bahan baku silase. Kandungan WSC pada hijauan berkaitan dengan penerimaan cahaya matahari. Tanaman merubah energi dari matahari menjadi gula sehingga konsentrasi gula secara umum lebih tinggi pada sore atau menjelang malam hari. Konsentrasi gula mulai menurun pada malam hari melalui proses respirasi dalam tanaman dan lebih rendah lagi pada pagi hari. Sehingga kajian kualitas silase hijauan yang dipanen pada waktu berbeda sangat diperlukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan membandingkan kualitas silase dari daun lamtoro, daun singkong, dan daun ubi jalar yang dipanen pada waktu berbeda. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) berpola faktorial (3x3). Faktor A adalah jenis hijauan (daun singkong, daun ubi jalar, dan daun lamtoro); faktor B adalah waktu panen (pagi, siang, dan sore hari).

Judul: Construction of Strongly Optimal Binary Linear Code with Minimum Distance 9 and 11
Abstrak: A binary linear code of length n over q F is a subspace of n q F . A code has three parameters that attached to it, namely length, dimension, and minimum distance. A code with length n, dimension k and minimum distance d is often called [n, k, d ]-code. Usually, when two parameters are given, then we want to find a code that has the best value for the last parameter. Based on Gilbert- Varshamov bound, if a [n, k, d ]-code exists and can not be expanded, we call it a strongly optimal code. In this paper, we construct strongly optimal code with minimum distance 9 and 11. In constructing the code, we created a theorem and algorithm based on Gilbert-Varshamov bound before we implement the algorithm to MAPLE programming language. Because of computational limitations, the program can only construct up to k = 10 for d = 9 and k = 12 for d = 11.
