Judul: Uji Kinerja Tarik Traktor Tangan Dengan Bahan Bakar Minyak Nyamplung Murni
Abstrak: The world's problem nowadays is obout the energy crisis. In Indonesia the demand for transportation and other household purpose is still quite large. In the other hand, fuel oil is one of the non-renewable resources that only has limited stock and it took million years to form it. Therefore, the renewable fuel oil is high required in human's daily life. tamanu seed produce oil that can replace petroleum or any other non-renewable fuel oil.

Judul: Kajian Kinerja Tarik Traktor Tangan dengan Menggunakan Bahan Bakar Biodiesel Minyak Sawit
Abstrak: This study discusses the tractive performance of hand tractor (drawbar pull, drawbar power, and cultivated field capacity using mouldboard plough) fueled with biodiesel from palm oil and analysed the economics of biodiesel implementation as fuel. The tests were performed on Huanghai DF-12L. In this study, palm oil biodiesel are tested as diesel fuels in neat (B100) and blended forms with diesel fuels commercial (B20, B40, B60, B80); the performance of hand tractor using biodiesel in neat and blended forms compared with using diesel fuels commercial. In order to determine the traction performance characteristic, hand tractor operated at constant engine speed mode 2000 rpm (the full load condition of the engine). Hand tractor loaded by Yanmar YM330T (four wheel tractor) that operated at five levels engine speed mode that is 1200 – 2000 rpm with 200 rpm increments. The tractive tests were performed on grass track and concrete track, whereas cultivation performed in dry land. The results indicated that drawbar pull and drawbar power of hand tractor on grass track and concrete track were uniformed (especially on grass track); hand tractor fueled with B40 and B100 showed increase trend compared to diesel fuels commercial, whereas other fuels tested showed decreased trend. Otherwise the cultivated field capacity of hand tractor fueled biodiesel from palm oil closely followed those of fueled with diesel fuels commercial. Based on this study, the implementation of biodiesel from palm oil either neat or blended forms are suitable as alternative diesel fuel for hand tractor although more expensive compared to diesel fuels commercial.

Judul: Mathematical model of Hematopoietic Stem Cell in Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia with and without Therapy
Abstrak: Leukemia or blood cancer is a diverse group of neoplastic disease, characterized by the multiplication of abnormal leukocytes or malignant transformation of blood-forming cells in bone marrow and lymphoid tissues. One of the most common types of leukemia is Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML), which is usually diagnosed by the presence of certain chromosomal abnormalities, the so-called Philadelphia chromosome (Ph). One of the treatments of CML is Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF). In this paper, we discuss two Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC) models, i.e. HSC without treatment and HSC with G-CSF treatment. The model of HSC without treatment included three equations representing the dynamics of HSC, leukocyte and platelet. Whereas, the model of HSC with G-CSF treatment includes the previous three equations and adds two more equations representing G-CSF injection and G-CSF circulation. The stability behavior of the system approaching the equilibrium points in the simulation study is carried out using Mathematica 7.0. The simulation results show that the G-CSF treatment can successfully decrease the number of HSC, which means reducing the CML.
