Judul: Pengembangan Mobile Web Modul Alumni dan Mahasiswa pada IPB Connect Menggunakan Lean UX.
Abstrak: Alumni adalah orang-orang yang telah mengikuti atau tamat dari suatu sekolah atau perguruan tinggi. Alumni yang sudah lulus sering kali renggang komunikasi dengan alumni lainnya. Oleh karena itu, beberapa Alumni IPB berinisiatif membentuk Himpunan Alumni Institut Pertanian Bogor (HA-IPB). Apabila hubungan silahturahmi antar alumni tetap terjalin baik, banyak manfaat yang didapat salah satunya adalah memudahkan dalam mencari informasi lowongan pekerjaan. Inilah alasan utama peneliti sebelumnya membangun aplikasi IPB Connect. Modul dan platform pada aplikasi ini memiliki 3 bagian yaitu, modul alumni dan mahasiswa berbasis web, modul alumni dan mahasiswa berbasis mobile dan modul CDA dan Himpunan Alumni berbasis web. Penelitian ini fokus pengembangan aplikasi IPB Connect pada modul mahasiswa dan alumni bagian front end mobile web dengan menggunakan metode Lean UX. Pembuatan prototipe akan dikembangkan pada tingkat high-fidelity menggunakan AngularJS

Judul: Pengembangan Front End Mobile Web IPB Connect pada Modul Alumni dan Mahasiswa menggunakan Lean UX
Abstrak: Setiap tahun IPB telah meluluskan banyak alumni dan tercatat telah meluluskan 133.788 alumni per Januari 2016. Saat ini IPB perlu menyediakan fasilitas kepada alumni dan mahasiswa untuk saling memberi dan memperoleh informasi. Aplikasi IPB Connect dikembangkan dengan tujuan menghubungkan dan memperkuat tali silaturahmi antar alumni dan mahasiswa IPB. Pengembangan aplikasi IPB Connect dibuat dengan dua bagian yaitu Front End dan Back End. Pengembangan ini merupakan bagian Front End yang fokus pada desain antarmuka. Pengembangan aplikasi IPB Connect menggunakan metode Lean UX. Metode Lean UX yang dikenalkan oleh Gothelf (2013) memiliki 4 tahapan yaitu Declare Assumptions, Create an MVP, Run an Experiment, dan Feedback and Research. Metode Lean UX mengutamakan kolaborasi tim dan satu user yang menguasai permasalahan untuk saling bertukar pikiran. Aplikasi IPB Connect berbasis mobile web telah berhasil diimplementasikan dan memiliki fitur lowongan pekerjaan, event & reuni, explore alumni dan share memories.

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.
