Judul: The Use of Iterated Variations Method to Solve Problems of Paired Oscillation.
Abstrak: Masalah osilasi berpasangan merupakan suatu masalah osilasi yang dilakukan oleh dua pegas sekaligus secara bersamaan. Model matematika pada masalah osilasi berpasangan berupa suatu sistem persamaan diferensial integral Volterra orde satu. Sistem persamaan diferensial integral Volterra orde satu yang diperoleh dinyatakan dalam variabel simpangan kedua pegas selama osilasi dengan koefisien bergantung pada konstanta pegas dan massa kedua benda. Penurunan model matematika pada masalah osilasi berpasangan menggunakan asumsi bahwa pegas berupa mode normal. Penyelesaian masalah osilasi berpasangan diperoleh dengan menggunakan metode iterasi variasi. Pada metode iterasi variasi dibentuk suatu fungsi koreksi yang berupa formula iterasi, dengan hampiran awal diberikan sembarang. Dengan menggunakan bantuan software berbasis matematika, diperoleh grafik hampiran penyelesaian untuk masalah osilasi berpasangan. Berdasarkan grafik, hampiran penyelesaian untuk pegas kiri mendekati penyelesaian sebenarnya pada selang [0,0.4], sedangkan pada pegas kanan hampiran penyelesaian mendekati penyelesaian sebenarnya pada selang [0,0.6]. Hal ini diperoleh dari iterasi yang dilakukan hingga iterasi ke-57.

Judul: Penggunaan Metode Homotopi untuk Menyelesaikan Masalah Getaran Taklinear
Abstrak: Nonlinear problem is a problem that contains nonlinear mathematical equation. One example of nonlinear problem is oscillation. Nonlinear problem is difficult to solve directly, so it needs an analytical approach. Homotopy method is one of the known analytical approaches. In this paper, nonlinear oscillation problem is solved using the homotopy method. The use of homotopy method is done by defining a homotopy function that requires auxiliary parameters to control the convergence region of the solution. The solutionis a recursive formula with given initial conditions. A case study using MAPLE shows that oscillation frequency and the equilibrium position converge to some certain values. This convergence of solution depends on the selection of auxiliary parameters in the homotopy function.

Judul: Development of ready-to-drink white tea shot.
Abstrak: White tea leaf has been shown to possess physiological activities and has catechin which is the most abundant antioxidant compound found. This study was conducted to develop white tea shot formulated with white tea extract (WTE), ascorbic acid (AA), and sucrose (SC) in order to get high stability of catechin in the product. The first part of the study was conducted to choose best formula of white tea shot. The amount of water was set at 50 ml while WTE was set at 0.4% water basis. AA and SC amount were varied at 0.02, 0.05, 0.10% for AA and 3.0 and 6.0% for SC. The formula chosen was consists of 50 ml water, 0.4 % WTE, 0.10% AA, and 6.0% of SC. The decision was based on the rating hedonic test and short time storage catechin stability analysis of six formulation which the chosen formula revealed the least catechin lost and acceptable overall product likeness. The study also revealed that addition of AA is significant to lower catechin loss (P<0.05) while addition of SC did not reveal any effect (P>0.05). Physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristic was also observed in this study.
