Judul: Pegembangan Industri Gelatin Tulang Ikan Bandeng di Kabupaten Kendal, Jawa Tengah
Abstrak: Gelatin is one of industrial products that has high economic value. Milkfish bones is the potential raw material to produce it.The bones is produced from industry of milkfish without bone from many home industries.This research wasaimed to identify the minimum capacity of milkfish bone gelatin industry and the form of community based enterprise of milkfish gelatin industry. The minimum capacity was defined by calculating values of NPV, IRR, PBP, and BEP, that is 80 kg of gelatin powder per day. This capacity could be met by involving 25 milkfish home industries. The development of community based enterprise would motivate the home industries to joinly develop this industry. In which they hold position to be the owner of the gelatin industry.

Judul: Studi kelayakan pendirian industri gelatin dari kulit split di PT. Samwood Indonesia, Kabupaten Karawang
Abstrak: Permintaan gelatin di Indonesia pada tahun 2003 (sampai bulan Agustus) sebesar 1.738.840 kg (BPS, 2004). Tingginya permintaan tersebut tidak diimbangi dengan jumlah produksi gelatin lokal yang memadai. Hampir seluruh gelatin yang digunakan di Indonesia adalah produk impor. Hal tersebut menunjukkan terdapat peluang yang besar untuk didirikannya industri gelatin berskala besar di Indonesia. Peluang tersebut didukung pula oleh tersedianya bahan baku untuk pembuatan gelatin yang cukup besar. Peluang tersebut coba dimanfaatkan oleh PT. Samwoo Indonesia yang akan memperluas usahanya pada industri gelatin. Industri gelatin perlu didirikan sebagai upaya peningkatan nilai tambah dari bahan baku dan sebagai upaya pemenuhan permintaan gelatin. Berdasarkan hal di atas maka perlu dilakukan studi kelayakan proyek industri gelatin berskala besar di Indonesia. Studi kelayakan pendirian industri gelatin meliputi analisis aspek pasar dan pemasaran, teknis dan teknologis, manajemen dan organisasi, legal yuridis, lingkungan, dan finansial serta ekonomi. Hasil dari analisis beberapa aspek studi kelayakan adalah seperti dibawah ini. Struktur pasar gelatin adalah persaingan murni dalam skala internasional, tetapi perusahaan gelatin ini mempunyai keunggulan dari sisi geografis, harga dan status kehalalan produk dibandingkan perusahaan- perusahaan penghasil gelatin dari luar negeri. Jika dilihat dari derajat persaingan pasar, perusahaan dapat berproduksi dengan acuan kapasitas sekitar 0,18% dari konsumsi gelatin dunia tahun 2001 atau sebesar 500.940 kg pada tahun 2003. Pada level ini, perusahaan hanya akan bersaing dengan perusahaan-perusahaan gelatin internasional yang berada pada urutan bawah. Pangsa pasar gelatin dunia yang masih terbuka sekitar 6.957.500 kg per tahun. Berdasarkan pertimbangan pangsa pasar gelatin dunia, potensi pasar gelatin Indonesia, acuan kapasitas berdasar derajat persaingan pasar dan teknologi proses dan mesin yang dipilih, kapasitas produksi perusahaan ditetapkan sebesar 434.560 kg per tahun. Kapasitas ini hanya sebesar 19,65% dari potensi pasar di Indonesia atau 6,24% dari pangsa pasar gelatin dunia atau 86,74% dari acuan kapasitas berdasar derajat persaingan pasar gelatin dunia. ...

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.
