Judul: Pemberian sinbiotik dengan dosis berbeda untuk meningkatkan kinerja pertumbuhan dan sistem imun benih ikan patin Pangasius sp.
Abstrak: Catfish (Pangasius sp.) is one of freshwater commodity which has high economic value. One of problems which often faced by the cultivator in catfish production is the problem of diseases. The aim of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of giving synbiotic with different doses in feed to increase the growth and immune responses on catfish fingerlings. The probiotic used is NP5 (Bacillus sp.), and the prebiotic used is oligosaccharides extracted from sweet potato Sukuh variety. The catfish fingerlings used has average of weight 0,43±0,06 gram and average of length 3.55±0.17 cm, and it was kept as many as 3 fish/liter in aquarium which (30x25x25) cm3 and filled with 10 liter of water. This research has been done in 4 treatments namely K (control), A (adding 0,5 dose of synbiotic), B (adding 1 dose of synbiotic), C (adding 2 dose of synbiotic). The result study shows that giving synbiotic in feed with different doses can give different increasing of growth and immune responses in catfish fingerlings. The catfish fingerlings given 1 dose of synbiotic showed the best increasing of growth and immune responses compared to the other treatments.

Judul: Supplementation of Thymol in the diet to Enhance Growh Performance of Stripped Catfish (P.hypopthalmus)
Abstrak: Budidaya ikan patin (Pangasius sp.) memiliki kendala pertumbuhan lambat untuk mencapai ukuran konsumsi. Salah satu bahan yang dapat digunakan untuk mempercepat pertumbuhan ikan adalah thymol. Tujuan penelitian ini mengevaluasi suplementasi thymol dosis berbeda (0%, 0,1%, 0,2% dan 0,3%) pada pakan dengan masing-masing empat ulangan, selama 60 hari terhadap kinerja pertumbuhan ikan patin. Benih ikan patin yang digunakan memiliki bobot 2,12 ± 0,03 g dan panjang 6,61 ± 0,03 cm. Ikan dipelihara di waring berukuran 2 x 1 x 1 m3 dan ketinggian air 50 cm dengan kepadatan 30 ekor m-3. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai biomassa akhir ikan patin yang diberi pakan dengan suplementasi thymol 0,3% lebih tinggi dibandingkan perlakuan kontrol (p<0,05), namun nilai laju pertumbuhan spesifik, tingkat kelangsungan hidup dan hepatosomatic index tidak berbeda nyata. Pemberian thymol dosis 0,3% dapat menurunkan nilai rasio konversi pakan, retensi lemak, retensi protein dan protein efficiency ratio lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan perlakukan kontrol (p<0,05). emberian thymol dengan dosis 0,3% pada pakan dapat meningkatkan kinerja pertumbuhan ikan patin., Catfish (Pangasius sp.) cultivation has a slow growth constraint to reach consumption size. One of the ingredients that can be used to accelerate fish growth is thymol. The aim of this study was to evaluate different doses of thymol supplementation (0%, 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3%) in feed with four replications for 60 days on growth performance of catfish. The catfish seeds used have a weight of 2.12 ± 0.03 g and a length of 6.61 ± 0.03 cm. Fish are reared in the waring measuring 2 x 1 x 1 m3 and the water level is 50 cm with a density of 30 m-3. The results showed that the final biomass value at a dose of 0.3% was higher than the control treatment, the specific growth rate, survival rate and hepatosomatic index were not significantly different from the control treatment (p>0.05), the administration of thymol dose was 0.3%. can reduce the value of the feed conversion ratio and significantly different fromother treatments. Fat retention at a dose of 0.3% showed a higher value compared to other treatments besides that the protein retention value and protein efficiency ratio at a dose of 0.3% were higher than that of the control treatment (p <0.05). Giving thymol at a dose of 0.3% in feed can increase the growth performance of catfish

Judul: Utilization of terra/MODIS L1B data for analysis of horizontal wind profile in the troposphere
Abstrak: This study was concerned with horizontal wind derived from data collected with the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the NASA’s Earth Observation System (EOS)-Terra satellite. The aim of this study is to develop a method for the estimation of horizontal wind movement in the troposphere based on Navier-Stokes equation. The method was applied to a calibrated and geolocated Terra/MODIS L1B 1 km data set. The data inputs to estimate surface temperature are retrieved from TIR (Thermal Infrared) bands 31 (10.780 μm to 11.280 μm) and 32 (11.770 μm to 12.270 μm). The obtained surface temperatures were later used to approximate geopotential height on a constant-pressure surface by using the modified Poisson equation. The main assumptions used are the hydrostatic equilibrium, ideal gas law, constant lapse rate and constant acceleration of gravity. Based on the distribution of geopotential height, the pressure gradient force is measured by the gradient of geopotential on an isobaric coordinate to present the horizontal wind profile. For certain topographic areas especially in the mountain ranges, there was a disadvantage of using pressure as a vertical coordinate which lead to inaccuracy. In spite of that, Terra/MODIS L1B data with 1 km spatial resolution can be used to estimate the horizontal wind movement in the troposphere.
