Judul: Agroindustrial risk management of palm oil-based biodiesel
Abstrak: Biodiesel is fuel generates from vegetable oils that have properties similar to diesel oil. The advantages of biodiesel compared to diesel is an environmentally friendly fuel because it produces much lower emissions (sulfur free, low smoke number) in accordance with global issues, higher cetane number (> 57) so that the combustion efficiency is better than diesel, lubrication properties of the piston engine; biodegradable, a renewable energy because it is made from natural materials, and improve the independence of fuel supply because it can be produced locally. The purpose of this research is to design the risk management decision support system for agro-industry development of oil palm-based biodiesel. The design methods used include: a) risk analysis of raw materials, processing, and marketing using a non-numeric ME-MCDM. Measurement and assessment of financial risks using risk criteria (coefficient of variation). Financial feasibility studies using the instruments: net profit, NPV, IRR, payback period, the BEP and the Net B / C ratio. Determination of objectives and risk management strategies using the rule-base. AHP is used to obtain an alternative value in the aspect of raw material procurement, processing, and marketing. ISM digunakam in institutional management. This research resulted in a decision support system that is useful to help decision makers in addressing the risk of agro-bio-diesel. Risk management model is designed in a decision support system (DSS) with the name "Biodiesel- RM", can be used by industrial users and investors in the field of biodiesel. SPK software development using Microsoft Visual Basic Version 6.0 yamg consists of three main components namely database management system, knowledge base management system and model base management system. Model base management system consists of 4 sub-model: risk analysis of raw materials, processing of risk analysis, risk analysis marketing, and financial risk analysis. Risks can be reduced through agro biodiesel biodiesel industry cluster approach, with fasilisator FKMKI Biodiesel (Forum biodiesel industry cluster management communication), which was formed and initiated by the community clusters and the formation of cooperative agro-industrial biodiesel supported by investors, financing institutions, universities and research institutions

Judul: The design of investment decision support system on palm oil biodiesel industry using dynamic system models, Rancang bangun sistem penunjang keputusan investasi pada industri biodisel kelapa sawit menggunakan model sistem dinamis
Abstrak: The gap between oil compsumption and production in the last few years has put indonesia into the oil net importer country. The increased of world oil’s price up to $60 US per barrel has increased the goverment subsidies more than 100 trillions rupiah in 2005. In order to anticipate the scarcity of oil in the future, the government has to search other energy resources especially renewable energy such as palm biodiesel that can be used as an alternative fuel of petroleum diesel and also known as ecolabelling product. In the frame work to support the development of palm biodiesel investment in Indonesia, this research is aimed to formulate the decision support system (dss) for palm biodiesel investment using dynamic models. The system consist of 5 submodels ie : The assesment of (1) Raw material resources, (2) production technology, (3) financial planning, (4) marketing, (5) environmental impact assesment. The correlation and interaction between submodel are based on logical function and theoritical framework by using system dynamic approach., Pertumbuhan konsumsi bahan bakar minyak yang terus meningkat dengan produksi relatif tetap, telah menempatkan Indonesia saat ini sebagai salah satu negara pengimpor bahan bakar minyak. Kenaikan harga minyak dunia yang mencapai 60 USD per barel telah memperbesar subsidi BBM menjadi lebih dari 100 triliun pada tahun 2005 berjalan. Untuk mengantisipasi kelangkaan BBM di masa mendatang perlu dikaji potensi sumber enerji lain terutama enerji yang dapat diperbaharui, antara lain yang berpotensi untuk dikembangkan sebagai pengganti BBM solar adalah Biodisel Kelapa Sawit (BDS) yang bersifat ramah lingkungan.

Judul: Infeksi Virus Parainfluenza Pada Anjing
Abstrak: Virus parainfluenza anjing termasuk famili Paramyxoviridae, berbentuk pleomorf dengan ukuran bervariasi (bergaris tengah antara 100-500 nm), berpembungkus peka ether, berisi genom RNA dan secara serologis mempunyai kesamaan dengan virus SV-5 kera; dikenak sebagai salah satu kausa penting dari sindrom "kennel cough". Infeksinya dapat mengenai anjing semua umur yang belum pernah terinfeksi atau mendapatkan vaksinasi mengakibatkan gejala klinis ringan yang terbatas pada traktus respirasi atu infeksi yang secara klinis tidak memperlihatkan gejala nyata. Gejala klinis yang nampak setelah masa inkubasi (1-5 hari) terlewati berupa batuk yang tidak berat selama beberapa hari, berbagai tingkat tonsilitis dan pharyngitis dan kadang-kadang ditemukan kenaikan temperatur rektal antara 1-2 derajat C dari temperatur normal rat-rata. Anjing terinfeksi mengandung virus pada traktus respirasi bagian atas dan bawah serta limfonoduli sampai hari ke 9 setelah infeksi. Penyebaran virus antar anjing terjadi secara aerogen.
