Judul: Penyelesaian Model Mangsa Pemangsa Tiga Spesies dengan Metode Homotopi
Abstrak: In this manuscript, a homotopy method was used to solve nonlinear problem of three species predator prey model with a prey, a predator, and a competitor which is based on Paparao et al. (2013). In this method, a homotopy function is defined by adding of several parameters, one of them is parameter which is used to determine the interval of convergence. Solution of the problem is written in the form of series up to fifth order. The results obtained using the homotopy method were compared with the numerical solution. It is found that of is the value with the smallest error.

Judul: Numerical Solution and Analysis of Predator-Prey  Model with One Prey and Two Predators
Abstrak: Model satu mangsa-dua pemangsa yang merupakan pengembangan dari model Lotka-Volterra disusun oleh Aleebram dan Abu-Hasan (2012). Model ini menggambarkan interaksi antara dua pemangsa yang bersaing terhadap satu mangsa yang sama melalui sistem persamaan diferensial taklinear yang melibatkan 3 variabel dan 18 parameter. Kestabilan dari model dianalisis menggunakan klasifikasi nilai eigen dan kriteria Routh-Hurwitz. Komunitas yang dihasilkan dari model satu mangsa-dua mangsa memiliki dua kemungkinan yaitu koeksistensi antar ketiga spesies atau terdapat populasi yang mengalami kepunahan. Model diubah ke dalam bentuk persamaan Kolmogorov untuk pemeriksaan koeksistensi dari model, dan hasil pemeriksaan ini dikonfirmasi melalui hasil simulasi numerik yang didapatkan. Simulasi numerik model satu mangsa-dua pemangsa dilakukan menggunakan software Octave 8.2.0 dengan menerapkan metode Runge-Kutta Fehlberg, Runge-Kutta orde 4 dan 5. Ketiga metode yang digunakan menghasilkan solusi yang sangat mirip dengan selisih tidak lebih dari 10^-6 . Dari segi efisiensi, metode Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg memiliki runtime yang lebih singkat pada keempat simulasi yang dilakukan dibanding dengan metode Runge-Kutta lainnya.

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
