Judul: Carcass and non carcass productivity of local beef cattle based on body fatness score
Abstrak: Indonesia has a potentially local beef cattle population which contributes markedly to the national beef production. The main problem of the cattle industry is the diverse condition of cattle fatness slaughtered at the processing plant. The differences in cattle fatness may influence productivity of the local beef cattle. The study was aimed to evaluate the effect body fatness on carcass and non carcass productivity within each frame size of local beef cattle. This study used 144 male local beef cattle obtained from eighteen slaughter houses within ten provinces in Indonesia. They comprised 48 heads of small frame size cattle (bali and madura cattle), 27 heads of medium frame size cattle (ongole cross and sumba ongole cattle), and 69 heads of large frame size cattle (local crossbreed cattle). The experiment used Completely Randomized Design. The collected data were then analyzed using analysis of variance and further between treatment differences were tested by Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results showed that increased body fatness score would be followed by increased slaughter weights, carcass weights, and carcass percentages. The effect of body fatness on weights and percentages of non carcass components showed varying results. Nevertheless, it was suggested that increased fatness score would be followed by increased weights and decreased percentages of non carcass components. The cattle used in this study have not reached optimal slaughtered point, both in proportion and average slaughter weight. Proportion of ideal body fatness level (fat condition) was 19.44 % from the total animal observed. General average of slaughter weight for small, medium, and large frame size 270.30 kg, 354.78 kg, and 389.33 kg, respectively

Abstrak: Beef cattle production in Indonesia can not meet the huge demand for beef. Increased consumption of beef in Indonesia must be balanced with the addition of an adequate production is by way of an increase in beef cattle population. Calves that are kept by the fattening of beef cattle industry in Indonesia generally come from Australia, for example, Brahman Cross cattle (BX). Given the stock price and the lack of beef steer at the time, then to overcome them been procured Heifer cows that have a fairly good quality with a cheaper price than the price of steer beef. This study aimed to study the appearance of body weight, body weight gain and carcass Heifer Brahman Cross cattle by administering different concentrtioans, the number of samples used as much as nine calves. Data obtained in this study treated descriptively. The mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation was calculated using the formula Walpole (1992). With the treatment of three different types of concentrates. Variables observed in this study is the final weight, body weight gain, carcass weight, carcass percentage, meat percentage of carcass weight and carcass percentage of final weight. The results obtained in this study is the final weight of P1 (325.30±10.90) is relatively lower than P2 and P3 respectively (380.30±16,20; 365,66±7.47), of accretion P3 body weight (0.18±0.11) is relatively lower than P1 and P2 respectively (0.43±0,04; 0,79±0.11), carcass weight P1 (153.97±5.05) was relatively lower than P2 and P3 is (168.30±9.96; 173.30±1.91), percentage of carcass P2(43.70±1.18) was relatively lower than P1 andP3 is (47.33±0.51; 47.40±0.45), meat percentage of carcass weight P2 (62.90±1.82) is relatively lower than the P3 P1dan (63.50±1.30; 63.40±1.39), percentage of meat to cutting the weight of P2 (27.48±0.30) was relatively lower than P1 and P3 is (30.06±0.96; 30.42±0.40) , feed intake assessment conducted by a descriptive test with the amountof each P1, P2 and P2 is (7.42; 7.99; 7.38). Overall response Cross Heifer Brahman cattle on feed P2 feed tend to be better than the P1 and P3.

Judul: Nanokristalin Pirit (FeS2) sebagai Material Semikonduktor Fotovoltaik.
Abstrak: Teknologi fotovoltaik adalah suatu proses yang dapat mengubah sinar matahari menjadi energi listrik dengan media semikonduktor. Penggunaan sel surya untuk fotovoltaik hanya dapat mengonversi radiasi matahari menjadi energi listrik kurang dari 20%. Efisiensi akan meningkat ketika material semikonduktor untuk fotovoltaik dibuat menjadi ukuran nano. Pirit merupakan salah satu material semikonduktor fotovoltaik yang memiliki energi pita celah (Eg) dalam kisaran 0.8–0.95 eV. Energi pita celah tersebut terbukti meningkat ketika disintesis dengan metode hidrotermal menggunakan beragam molar [S]:[Fe] pada suhu 200 °C dalam 24 jam. Nilai energi pita celah yang dihasilkan adalah 1.58–2.073 eV. Ukuran nanokristalin pirit yang dihasilkan berada pada kisaran 21.04–58.77 nm menurut data Particle Size Analyzer. Besarnya ukuran nanokristal pirit yang tumbuh kurang dari 50 nm merupakan poin penting untuk aplikasi fotovoltaik.
