Judul: Kelayakan Pembangunan Pelabuhan Perikanan di Kabupaten Nias Utara Ditinjau dari Potensi Sumberdaya Ikan, Pemasaran dan Kebutuhan Nelayan
Abstrak: Kabupaten Nias Utara belum memiliki pelabuhan perikanan, sehingga perlu dilakukannya studi kelayakan pembangunan pelabuhan perikanan untuk meningkatkan pemanfaatan potensi sumberdaya ikan di lokasi tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan kelayakan pembangunan pelabuhan perikanan di Nias Utara ditinjau dari potensi sumberdaya ikan, pemasaran dan kebutuhan nelayan. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode studi kasus dengan jenis data yang dikumpulkan berupa hasil wawancara dan kuisioner. Data yang dianalisis dengan menggunakan tiga faktor, yaitu produktivitas perikanan, pemasaran perikanan, dan kebutuhan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa potensi sumberdaya ikan di Nias Utara masih banyak namun armada penangkapan masih sedikit, kemudian ikan yang didaratkan rata-rata dijual ke luar daerah dan sebagian dijual di daerah lokal dengan persentase masing-masing sebesar 65% dan 35%. Setelah itu, kebutuhan nelayan akan pelabuhan perikanan adalah 4,59%. Berdasarkan data yang diperoleh tersebut, maka perencanaan atau pembangunan pelabuhan perikanan di Kabupaten Nias Utara layak layak untuk dilakukan.

Judul: Studi Pengembangan Perikanan Tangkap di Kabupaten Nias
Abstrak: Perikanan tangkap merupakan salah satu kegiatan ekonomi yang sangat penting di Kabupaten Nias. Potensi sumberdaya perikanan yang terkandung di wilayah perairan laut Kabupaten Nias cukup tersedia namun pemanfaatannya masih belum optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan komoditas unggulan di Kabupaten Nias dan menentukan strategi pengembangan perikanan tangkap di Kabupaten Nias secara optimum. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode survei yang dilaksanakan mulai bulan Desember 2007 sampai dengan bulan November 2008. Penentuan komoditas unggulan menggunakan analytical hierarchy process (AHP) dan penentuan strategi pengembangan perikanan tangkap di Kabupaten Nias menggunakan Analisis SWOT berdasarkan aspek biologi, teknik, ekonomi, dan sosial.

Judul: Enhancement of photon absorbtion on BaxSr1-xTiO3 thin films semiconductor using photonic crystals.
Abstrak: In this research, has been conducted BaxSr1-xTiO3 (BST) thin films manufacturing for mole fraction x = 0.25, 0.35, 0.45, and 0.55; and concentration of 1 molar using chemical solution depositon (CSD) method. The materials, which are used in this research, are barium acetate [Ba(CH3COO)2, 99%], strontium acetate [Sr(CH3COO)2, 99%], titanium isopropoxide [Ti(C12O4H28), 97.999%], gallium trioxide [Ga2O3], 2-methoxyethanol [H3COOCH2CH2OH, 99%] and 1 x 1 cm of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) glass as substrate. Two BST thin films are made that for BST thin films which are doped by 10% galium (BGST) as p-type layer and pure BST solution as n-type. BST solution is made by reacting barium acetate [Ba(CH3COO)2, 99%], strontium acetate [Sr(CH3COO)2, 99%] and titanium isopropoxide [Ti(C12O4H28)] into 2-methoxyethanol solvent [H3COOCH2CH2OH, 99%] in accordance with mass gram for each x value. While, BGST solution is made in the same way as BST solution, plus adding gallium at 10% of the mass of BST. Once all materials are reacted, then vibrated using ultrasonic for 90 minutes, and followed by coating BGST / BST on the TCO substrate. Once the layer is formed, then annealed for 15 hours at temperature of 500 °C with increasing rate of 1.67 oC/minute. Characterizations of BST thin films with or without photonic crystals include the absorbance and transmittance in the visible light spectrum, as well as the electrical photoconductivity characterizations. From BST thin films without photonic crystals indicate that our thin films have light absorption area on almost the entire range of the visible light spectrum even to the infrared range with absorption value over than 67.6%, in addition, it can be seen that the maximum absorbance of BST thin films for all mole fractions lie in blue to green light spectrum region, 457 nm ≤ λ ≤ 570 nm and the minimum in yellow to red light spectrum region, 570 nm ≤ λ ≤ 678 nm. The largest absorbance is found at x = 0.25 with average absorbance value of 92.04% and maximum and minimum absorbance peaks at wavelength of 500.89 and 657.72 nm, respectively. At x = 0.35, average absorbance value decreased to 83.55% with maximum and minimum peaks at 505.73 and 613.68 nm, respectively. Then increased to 91.16% at x = 0.45 with maximum and minimum peaks at 506.04 and 618.56 nm, respectively. At x = 0.55, average absorbance value decreased to 80.12% with maximum and minimum peaks at 507.85 and 608.79 nm, respectively. Moreover, it can be seen that the addition of barium mole fraction leads to wider maximum absorbance or minimum transmittance peaks and narrower minimum absorbance or maximum transmittance peaks in the same range of the green and blue & red light spectrums, respectively. BST thin films with photonic crystals show increasing in absorption for all x values in the range of 3.04 into 13.33%. At x = 0.25, average absorbance percentage increased 3.96% from 92.4 into 95.68%, for x = 0.35 average percentage increased 7.07% into 89.45 from 83.55%. Furthermore, average absorbance of BST thin films at x = 0.45 increased 3.04% from 91.16 into 93.93% and x = 0.55 has
