Judul: Optimalisasi Penempatan Access Point di Gedung Graha Widya  Wisuda IPB University
Abstrak: Covering-based model merupakan suatu permasalahan penentuan lokasi yang bertujuan meminimumkan jumlah titik lokasi fasilitas pelayanan, tetapi dapat melayani semua titik permintaan. Dalam penelitian ini akan dibahas penentuan lokasi access point di gedung Graha Widya Wisuda IPB University. Kendala yang dimiliki oleh permasalahan ini adalah terdapat beberapa tipe access point dengan jarak jangkauan dan harga yang berbeda-beda. Penentuan lokasi access point ini akan diselesaikan menggunakan model set covering problem dengan bantuan software LINGO 19.0. Hasil implementasi menghasilkan titik alternatif penempatan yang terpilih adalah titik I1, I5, I8, I9, I11, I12, dan I16, dengan total biaya sebesar Rp 65.550.000,00., The covering-based model is a location determination problem aimed at minimizing the number of service facility locations while serving all demand points. This research will discuss the determination of access point locations in the Graha Widya Wisuda building at IPB University. The constraint faced by this problem is the existence of several types of access points with different ranges and prices. The determination of access point locations will be solved using the set covering problem model with the assistance of LINGO 19.0 software. The implementation results in the selection of alternative placement points, namely I1, I5, I8, I9, I11, I12, and I16, with a total cost of Rp 65,550,000.00.

Judul: Analisis dan Evaluasi Infrastruktur Jaringan Nirkabel Berbasiskan Standar IEEE 802.11 (Studi Kasus di Institut Pertanian Bogor)
Abstrak: Infrastruktur jaringan wireless fidelity (WiFi) milik IPB belum dikelola secara optimal saat ini. Hal ini menyebabkan banyaknya interferensi antar perangkat WiFi sehingga area jangkauannya menjadi tidak optimal. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan sebuah rekomendasi rancangan infrastuktur WiFi yang dapat mengoptimalkan kinerja jaringan. Penelitian ini menggunakan dua model desain infrastruktur jaringan WiFi, yaitu model koneksi langsung dan model koneksi bridging/relaying. Pengujian dilakukan dengan menggunakan dua skenario aktivitas pengguna, yaitu diam dan bergerak untuk mengukur tiga variabel kinerja jaringan, yaitu latency, throughput, dan signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Pada model koneksi langsung dengan skenario kondisi pengguna diam menghasilkan nilai kinerja latency rata-rata 2.5 ms dan model koneksi bridging/relay 165.4 ms. Untuk skenario kondisi pengguna bergerak pada koneksi langsung waktu perpindahan AP rata-rata 2.9 detik dan koneksi bridging/relay 6.2 detik. Sementara itu, untuk hasil pengujian throughput pada koneksi langsung memiliki nilai rata-rata 7.185 Mbps dan koneksi bridging/relay 1.364 Mbps. Dengan hasil yang didapatkan, maka kinerja yang terbaik adalah model koneksi langsung.

Judul: Mercury Toxicity and It’s Effect on Histopathology Change of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
Abstrak: Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of fish species that oportunity to contaminated with mercury. The effects of pollutants can damage living organisms organs and can cause death. The effects caused mercury had acute or chronic character. The aims of this study are to determine threshold and acute toxicity of mercury chloride (HgCl2) of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), to assess the effect of mercury chloride (HgCl2) on several biometric parameters (survival, growth rate of average daily weighted, liver condition, bile and reproductive variability of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), assess the level of damage to the histological structure of the gills, liver and kidney of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) caused mercury chloride (HgCl2) exposure. This study was conducted from February to June 2013. Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were used in this study were female with average weight 20 grams or 11-13 cm length range. Toxicant materials used in this study was mercury chloride (HgCl2). Fish were reared in each aquarium 60x40x30 containing 48 liters of water. This study consists of three stages: a preliminary test, acute test, and sub-chronic test. To determine the changes in biometric condition of tilapia approximated by measuring the survival rate (SR), the growth rate of average daily weight , the content of mercury in the fish organs, hepatosomatic index (HSI), the relative bile volume (VER), gonadal soamtic index (IKG), fecundity and oocit diameter, tissue damage caused by mercury in fish organs by making histological preparations stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The median lethal concentration (96 hr, LC50) of Mercury Chloride was calculated as 1,64 mgL--1.The survival rate was highest in the control treatment (46,67 %) . Mercury chloride with concentration 0.196 mgL--1 show significant effect to changes HSI and relative bile volume, and oocyte diameter of Nile tilapia (p < 0,05). Mercury chloride with a concentration of 0,164 mgL-1 and 0,196 mgL-1 have not a significant effect on the growth rate of weight, gonadal somatic index and fecundity of Nile tilapia (p > 0,05). Mercury chloride cause damage to gills (hyperplasia, hypertrophy, proliferation and neukrosis), liver (hyperplasia, hemorhage, shrinkage of hepatocytes, proliferation and neukrosis) and kidney (hyperplasia, hemorrhage, shrinkage of the glomerulus, proliferation and neukrosis).
