Judul: Analisis Bobot Badan, Indeks Massa Tubuh, serta Profil Lipid (Total Kolesterol dan HDL) Pada Monyet Ekor Panjang (Macaca fascicularis) dengan Diet Tinggi Lemak dan Intervensi Nikotin.
Abstrak: The aim of this study was to obtain information of body weight, BMI (Body Mass Index), lipid profile especially cholesterol total and HDL cholesterol related to intervention of nicotine. This research consisted of 15 long tailed macaques, divided into three groups based on the types of diet. There were diet type A with energy derived from tallow, diet type B with energy derived from tallow and yolk eggs, and diet type C with commercial diet of Monkey chow. Observation was done before and during the intervention of low dose nicotine with dosage 0.75 mg/kg BB/12 hours per oral. The results of blood lipid analysis showed that there was a significant increase in cholesterol level total during three months of nicotine intervention, especially in group B. However, we found HDL level (P<0.05) was increased in the second month of diet type B and in the third month of diet type A and C. There was no significant decrease in body weight and BMI (P>0.05) during the period of nicotine intervention.

Judul: Profil Bobot Badan, Indeks Massa Tubuh dan Glukosa Darah Monyet Ekor Panjang (Macaca fascicularis) yang Diberi Pakan Tinggi Energi dan Nikotin Cair
Abstrak: Nicotine with specific dose has been reported to have an affect to decreased appetite on rodents. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the effect of nicotine on body weight, body mass index and blood glucose levels of cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) fed high energy diet given for three months. Ten adult males cynomolgus monkeys were randomly divided into two groups. The first group fed with main ingredient from beef tallow and the second group with commercial monkey chow. In both diets, nicotine liquid were added with final dosage consumed by monkeys of at least 0,75 mg/kg body weight. The design used in this study was complete randomized design in time. Data collected was analyzed to find correlation between time and treatment. Measurement was performed monthly on body weight, body mass index and blood glucose levels. Results showed that weight loss was not significant (P>0,05), however BMI and blood glucose level was decreased significantly in the first group (P<0,05). The conclusion of this study, nicotine intervention given for three months in adult male cynomolgus monkeys with high energy diet from beef tallow reduced blood glucose level and body mass index but not its body weigh

Judul: Mempelajari Model Rancangan Hidrolika Sub Unit Irigasi Curah dengan Tekanan Rendah
Abstrak: Faktor penting dalam keberhasilan penerapan sistem irigasi curah adalah perancangan yang tepat dan efisiensi operasional dari sistem yang dirancang. Desain irigasi curah dilakukan dengan beberapa tahapan. Perhitungan rancangan hidrolika sub unit merupakan tahapan kunci dalam proses desain irigasi curah. Persyaratan hidrolika jaringan perpipaan harus dipenuhi untuk mendapatkan penyiraman yang seragam. Jumlah dan spesifikasi sprinkler (pencurah) maupun jenis dan diameter pipa yang beredar di pasaran sangat beragam. Tahapan rancangan hidrolika sub unit biasa dilakukan dengan metoda coba-ralat (trial-error method). Hal ini cukup rumit dan membutuhkan waktu yang tidak sedikit. Maka dibutuhkan suatu metoda perhitungan rancangan hidrolika sub unit yang sederhana sehingga memudahkan dan meminimalkan kesalahan dalam perancangan irigasi curah.
