Judul: Rancangan Pengeringan Lombok Merah (Capsicum anuum L.) dengan Rak Bilik
Abstrak: Tujuan dari perancangan ini adalah untuk memberikan pedoman dalam usaha pengeringan lombok merah di daerah Brebes. Rancangan ini dibuat dengan harapan dapat diterapkan petani, khususnya petani lombok merah. Usaha pengeringan lombok akan didirikan di desa Tanjung Brebes, kabupaten Brebes. Pengoperasian usaha pengeringan ini dilakukan selama 2 bulan antara bulan Juni sampai Agustus, dimana pada bulan-bulan tersebut biasanya terjadi panen raya. Luas tanah yang dibutuhkan untuk pengeringan diperoleh dengan jalan menyewa.

Judul: Mempelajari Pengeringan Cabe Merah (Capsicum annuum L.) dengan Pengering Kabinet Berpemanas Lampu Inframerah
Abstrak: Didalam sektor pertanian, cabe merah merupakan komoditas ekspor yang bagus. Dalam bulan juli sampai bulan September basil produksi cabe merah mengalami kelebihan, terutama saat panen raya Pengeringan cabe merah dilakukan sebagai alternatif untuk menanggulangi masalah tersebut. Dengan pengeringan, cabe merah dapat disimpan lebih lama sehingga penjualannya dapat disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan pasar. Selain di jual dalam bentuk kering, cabe kering ini juga dapat diolah menjadi bubuk yang banyak digunakan dalam masakan instan. Pengeringan cabe merah dapat dilakukan dengan dua cara, yaitu secara tradisional dengan penjemuran dan secara semimekanik dengan alat pengering.

Judul: Effects of Alcohol Consumption on Spatial Memory Performance and Neuron Complexity
Abstrak: Alcoholic beverages have always been a common drink all around the globe. The ethanol that is contained inside these alcoholic beverages have been known to have various negative side effects to the brain if consumed excessively. Other articles have claimed a certain moderate amount of alcohol consumption could have beneficial effects on the brain, but no exact concentration limit of consumption has been elaborated to cause damage in the hippocampal area. The objective of this research is examining the effects of alcohol towards neuron complexity and spatial memory performance. Four groups of mice were used as test subjects and were given the solution pre-orally. The first group is the control group which is given water, the second group was given 5% alcohol, the third group was given 15% alcohol, and the fourth group was given commercially sold alcoholic beverage. The mice were given said solutions in the span of 30 days. Spatial memory performance is observed by how a mice scores inside a Y-maze in the span of 5 minutes after 30 days of treatment. Neuron complexity is determined by the number of intersections of dendrites and the maximum angle of neurons inside the Dentate Gyrus (DG) and Cornu Ammonis (CA) region of the hippocampus which is observed by Golgi-Cox staining, photographed with optilab and then analyzed using the ImageJ application. alcohol consumption does not have any significant effect on spatial memory performance nor neuron complexity in the hippocampal area. These findings are not significantly different than the control group, possibly because the treatment is not chronic enough to trigger a significant physiological change.
