Judul: Konstruksi sangkar cuaca mini untuk sensor suhu elektronik
Abstrak: Pengukuran suhu udara sering dipakai sebagai dasar pengukuran unsur-unsur cuaca. Dalam pengukuran sufiu udara, ada beberapa ha1 yang perlu dihiidari yaitu pengaruh radiasi surya secara langsung maupun pantufannya oleh benda-benda yang ada di sekelilingnya, gangguan dari tetesan air hujan, tiupan angin yang terlalu kencang, dan pengaruh radiasi bumi akibat pemanasan dan pendinginan permukaan tanah setempat, karena ha1 tersebut mempengaruhi akurasi pengukwan. Untuk mengatasi rnasalah tersebut maka sensor suhu harus diletakkan di dalam suatu pelindung yang disebut sangkar cuaca.

Judul: Disain Prototipe Alat Pengukur Suhu Digital Dengan Sistem Kemudi Pengkonversi dan Pembalik Fase
Abstrak: Dalam menunjang kegiatan pertanian, alat-alat ukur yang digunakan untuk mendeteksi antara lain parameter-parameter iklim, keadaan tanah dan tata air, serta sifat-sifat bahan pertanian diperlukan terkendali secara tepat dan akurat. Alat pengukur suhu digital merupakan salah satu alternatif gagasan penerapan teknologi elektronik dalam pembuatan dan pengembangan alat-alat pengukur lingkungan dan sifat-sifat bahan pertanian. Disamping itu alat pengukur suhu sistem digital dapat dikaitkan dengan alat pengolah data (komputer dan mikroprosesor) dalam suatu sistem penginderaan dan pengolahan data jarak jauh yang cepat. Sistem digital merupakan teknik peragaan mutakhir yang dipakai dalam alat ukur elektronik. Dengan sistem digital, kemudahan dan obyektifitas pembacaan, kemudahan kalibrasi, ketelitian dan sensitivitas alat dapat di- tingkatkan dan mudah untuk dibuat. Alat pengukur suhu digital dilengkapi dengan sistem 'scanning' otomatis yang dapat mendeteksi suhu dengan empat buah sensor sekaligus, sehingga penyebaran suhu dalam suatu ruangan dapat dideteksi secara periodik dan otomatis.

Judul: Utilization of hydrolized duckweed (Lemna minor) meal as a soybean replacement in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) diet,
Abstrak: Tilapia is a fast growing fish widely cultured in many tropical and sub tropical countries. The recent production figures reported our global production estimates for 2015 is 5,576.8 metric tons. In developing countries the major challenges facing aquaculture industry is high cost of production associated with fish feeds. Feed represents 40-70% of operating costs for aquaculture operations, increasing expenses and potential declining supplies soybean meal have led scientists to search for less expensive but compatible alternative protein sources for fish feed; most of which are based on animal or plant protein sources. The objectives of study was to determine the incubation period for hydrolysis of duckweed and to evaluate the use of hydrolized duckweed as aprotein source for the growth performance of Nile tilapia Three experiments were conducted to determine the composition and digestibility of hydrolyzed duckweed meal by sheep rumen liquor as the replacement of soybean meal in the diet of Nile tilapia. The first trial examined the effectivity of sheep rumen liquor enzyme to decrease crude fiber contents of (DWM), the added volume of sheep rumen liquor was 100 ml/kg DWM and then it was incubated for 0, 12, 24 hr . The second trial was to evaluate the apparent digestibility of hydrolyzed DWM for Nile Tilapia, apparent digestibility were determined using chromic oxide indicator added to both reference diet and test diets. The feed ingredients used in the trial were hydrolyzed DWM (HDWM) and unhydrolyzed DWM (DWM). Ten fish with an average weight of 18±0.36g were used in the trial and reared in the aquarium of size 30×40×50cm for 15 days; feces were collected from three replicates using a fecal collection column attached to the aquarium. Third trial was to evaluate the growth performance of Tilapia fed test diet with hydrolyzed Duckweed meal (HDWM). The experimental design was set according to completely randomized design with four treatments and three replicates of HDWM inclusion levels that is 0%, 15%, 30% and 45%. Nile tilapia fish with initial body weight of 18±0.36g was kept in 12 units aquarium size of 30×40×50cm at stocking density of 10fish/aquarium, the fish were fed two times a day at 08:00am and 16:00pm to apparent satiation for a period of 60 days. The results indicated that duckweed meal (DWM) hydrolyzed with 100 mL/kg and incubated for 24 hrs showed the lowest crude fiber contents of 13.68% compared to other treatments. Total digestibility of hydrolyzed duckweed (HDWM) meal was 87.3% compared with unhydrolyzed duckweed (DWM) which was 66.8%. Total final weight (TFW), survival rate (SR), specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversional rate (FCR) and protein retention (PR) shows growth performance at 15% inclusion. The results of this study showed that 100mL/kg sheep rumen liquor at incubation period of 24 hr can be suitable for hydrolysis of duckweed to reduce crude fiber also hydrolyzed duckweed can substitute soybean meal at an incubation rate of 15% in the diet of Nile tilapia and had the same growth and FCR with control diet
