Judul: Pengaruh Berbagai Taraf Penggunaan Komplek Onggok-Urea-Zeolit dalam Ransum Terhadap Persentase Karkas, Organ Dalam dan Lemak Abdominal Ayam Broiler.
Abstrak: Penggunaan Onggok sebagai pakan ternak merupakan salah satu pemanfaatan limbah tapioka yang tepat. Onggok kurang menguntungkan apabila disubstitusikan dalam ransum unggas karena umumnya kandungan protein kasar yang relatif rendah dan serat kasar yang relatif tinggi, oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan pengolahan yang tepat untuk meningkatkan kualitas onggok agar dapat dimanfaatkan secara optimal. Pembuatan komplek onggok-urea-zeolit dengan cara biologis dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan kualitas onggok. Fermentasi dengan menggunakan mikroorganisme Aspeergillus niger dapat membantu menurunkan serat kasar dan meningkatkan proteinnya.

Judul: Evaluasi Pemanfaatan Komplek Onggok-Urea-Zeolit yang Difermentasikan dengan Aspergillus niger dalam Ransum Ayam Pedaging.
Abstrak: Indonesia adalah negara agraris yang kaya akan hasil pertanian, tetapi selama ini pemanfaatan limbahnya belum optimal contohnya adalah onggok yang merupakan limbah industri tapioka dan mempunyai energi yang cukup tinggi tapi miskin protein kasar. Salah satu pengolahan onggok yaitu dengan jalan teknologi fermentasi dengan menggunakan Aspergillus niger untuk membentuk onggok-urea-zeolit komplek. Penelitian komplek onggok telah dilakukan di Laboratorium Lapang Ilmu Nutrisi Unggas, Fakultas Peternakan, Institut Pertanian Bogor, dimulai dari bulan Maret sampai Juni 2000. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melillat pengaruh komplek onggok-urea-zeolit yang difermentasikan dengan Aspergillus niger terhadap performan ayam pedaging. Penelitian ini menggunakan 200 ekor ayam pedaging strain Hybro yang diproduksi oleh PT Manggis Farm.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
