Abstrak: Body weight data of Priangan (PP) and crossbreds with St. Croix (HH) and Mouton Charollais sheep (MM) (totally 488 heads, consisted of 149 Priangan Sheep, 115 St. Croix X Priangan (HP), 68 Mouton Charollais X Priangan (MP), 101 MP X HP (MHP) and 55 HM X HP (HMP) heads) were collected at Experimental Station in Indonesian Research Institute for Animal Production. The data were utilized for comparing three non linear growth curve models, i.e Logistic, Gompertz and Von Bertalanffy and the effect of genotype and environment on the goodness of fit, computational simplicity and growth curve parameters. Comparison of genotype, effect interse mating and estimate of heterosis effect were done using Least Square Means methods from growth curve parameter for each models. The results show that the Von Bertalanffy model had better goodness of fit when compared to Gompertz and Logistic models based on the value of Sum Squares Error, Mean Square Error and coefficients of determination, but the model more complicate to compute than the Gompertz and Logistic models regarding on iteration process. Logistic models had smaller standard error for the parameter that have biological interpretation mature size (A) and rate of maturing (k) than others in regard of it’s simplicity in computation. Mature size (A) in all models affected significantly (P<0.01) by genotype, year of birth, sex and type birth and rearing, except in logistic models affected significantly (P<0.05) by type of birth and rearing. Rate of maturing (k) was affected significantly (P<0.01) by year of birth in all models. B/M parameter (integration constant/shape parameter) in all models affected significantly (P<0.01) by year of birth, sex, parity and type of birth and rearing except for the B parameter in Von Bertalanffy model affected significantly (p<0.05) by sex. Crossbreeding increased the mature size (A) compared with Priangan sheep. Relative superiority of mature size (A) of the crossbreds sheep in Logistic, Gompertz and Von Bertalanffy models for MP = 20.6, 19.4 and 19.26 % for HP = 8.6, 8.17 and 8.08 % for MHP = 18.23, 16.92 and 16.94 % for HMP = 20.21, 19.54 and 19.51%, respectively. Crossbreeding decreased rate of maturing (k) of when compared to Priangan sheep. Relative superiority of rate of maturing (k) of the crossbreds sheep in Logistic, Gompertz and Von Bertalanffy models for MP= -7.08, -4.42 and -4.91% for HP =- 1.39, -0.73 and -1.34% for MHP = 6.28, 9.64 and 7.18% for HMP = -1.58, -0.39 and -1.68%, respectively. Mature size (A) tend to decrease in crossbreds sheep because of the interse mating process that make decreased in relative superiority of mature size (A) in the next generation. Rate of maturing (k) fluctuated heavily make it very difficult in biological interpretation because of small sample size that resulted large deviation in predicted heterosis values due to maternal effect and maternal heterosis. Based on this result, it is recommended that Von Bertalanffy model can be used to describe the growth curve model in Priangan sheep and the crossbreds although the model more complicate to compute. It’s indicated that MHP sheep has good prospect to develop further

Judul: The Relative Superiority of Milk ProductioD of Priangan Cross with St.Croix and Moulton Charollais Sheep.
Abstrak: Priangan sheep is one of some native sheep that had been well known to the people of West Java. This sheep have some advantages including their ability to produce multiple birth, reach sexual maturity faster and resistant to internal parasite. However, this sheep have also some disadvantages including low milk production, high bawl mortality and low mature weight Crossbreeding is one way to improve the genetic qnality of this sheep. The objective of this study is to evalnate whether the Priangan, St.Croix, and Moulton Charollais cross are superior in milk production when compared to Priangan sheep. This study was conducted at small rwninant experimental station of Research Institute for Animal production from June to August 2002. The superiority of the crossed sheep was detennined by subtracting the average milk production of the crossed sheep and Priangan sheep and then divided the values by the average milk production of Priangan sheep. The data had heen corrected by parity and type of birth. The General Linear model of SAS were used to calculate the least square means. The result shows that the superiority of Moulton Charollais-Priangan cross (MP), St.Croix-Priangan cross (HP), StCroix-Moulton Charollais crossing (MHP) for milk production were 59.48 (11%), 55.89 (5%) and 54.66 I (2%), respectively when compared to Priangan. However, the Moulton Charollais-St.Croix-Priangan cross (MHP) had lower milk production (44.87 I or -16%) when comprued to Priangan. Key words: milk production, St. Croix, Moulton Charollais, Priangan, crossing

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
