Judul: Pengembangan Sistem Pakar Agribisnis Cabai (Capsicum annuum. L) Berbasis Android
Abstrak: Penelitian yang berkaitan dengan teknik penyebarluasan informasi pertanian khususnya agribisnis cabai dilakukan oleh Supriyanto (2011), yaitu Sistem Konsultasi Online Agribisnis cabai (Capsicum annuum L.). Sistem konsultasi tersebut merupakan sistem konsultasi yang berbasis web dan membahas mengenai analisis kebutuhan materi konsultasi sampai dengan perancangan sistem konsultasi secara online. Erlan (2011) juga melakukan penelitian dengan topik yang sama, hanya saja sistem yang dibangun berbasis wap yang diperuntukkan bagi pengguna mobile phone (ponsel). Akses terhadap sistem konsultasi berbasis web dan wap memerlukan koneksi jaringan/ internet. Kebutuhan akan internet berarti kebutuhan akan biaya akses internet. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan untuk meminimalisasikan penggunaan internet dalam pengaksesan konten informasi yang dibutuhkan sehingga bisa mengurangi biaya. Pengembangan sistem pakar ini dilakukan dengan teknologi mobile yang saat ini perkembangannya sangat pesat yaitu android. Modul dan basis data pada aplikasi berbasis Android ini akan diintegrasikan menjadi sebuah kesatuan aplikasi android siap pakai. Calon pengguna aplikasi bisa menginstal sistem ini ke dalam perangkat android kemudian menggunakannya. Koneksi melalui jaringan internet hanya diperlukan ketika pengguna melakukan pengunduhan aplikasi ataupun melakukan proses update sistem. Pada penelitian ini juga dilakukan penambahan fungsi-fungsi yang akan memaksimalkan akses terhadap informasi misalnya akses data real time berbasis lokasi pengguna perangkat Android...dst

Judul: Pengembangan Sistem Pakar Agribisnis Cabai (Capsicum annuum. L) Berbasis Android
Abstrak: The objective of the research was to develop a consultation system for Chili Pepper (Capsicum annuum. L) agribusiness based on android. The method included problem identification, the search knowledge sources, knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation and consultation system development based on android. Knowledge from the expert and other’s materials has been captured and represented to develop the system. The system development was done by using extreme programming (XP) which included the stages of analysis, design and implementation. The results of this research is a chili pepper agribusiness expert system based on android which consists of nine consultation modules like choosing the best cultivar, fertilizing recommendation, land preparation, identified disease, controlling insect pest, farmers income and profit gain, after harvest’s technique, government policy, and price information based on user’s location. The system was running well on the android phone. Users can download the application from http://apps.cs.ipb.ac.id or http://appsriset.ipb.ac.id as a mirror link, then install it on their smartphone or computer tablet .

Judul: Separation of Neodymium from U3Si2/Al Fuel Plate for Burn-Up Determination
Abstrak: Neodymium is a common fission product produced in nuclear fission reactions. Neodymium in this study was chosen as a burn-up indicator for U3Si2/Al fuel element plates because the neodymium isotope is a stable fission product with a fairly high yield. Some procedures were carried out to separate neodymium, starting with the separation of cesium isotopes (137Cs, 134Cs) through the precipitation method, then separation of uranium isotopes (235U, 238U) and plutonium isotopes (239Pu, 238Pu) with Dowex 1x8 ion exchange resin, and separation of neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), as well as cerium (Ce) with Dowex 1x4 ion exchange resin. The Cs recovery reached 99.95%. The U and Pu isotopes resulting from the separation are subjected to an electrodeposition process and the weight of each isotope can be measured with an alpha spectrometer. The separation results of Nd from Sm and Ce have been proven using an XRF spectrometer. The neodymium isotopes separation was corrected using the standard addition method, and an average total Nd content of 2.4 ppm was obtained in the PEB U3Si2/Al bottom solution. It is hoped that this separation method can be applied in determining burn-up of nuclear fuel.
