Judul: Perdagingan dan Distribusi Daging Kerbau Rawa dan Sapi Peranakan Ongole yang Digemukkan Menggunakan Ransum dengan Suplementasi Campuran Garam Karboksilat Kering
Abstrak: Swamp buffalo is commonly regarded as an animal with relatively low productivity. The objective of the study was to examine the meat yield and it’s distribution within carcass from Swamp buffalo and Ongole Grade cattle fed concentrate containing protected lemuru fish oil in the form of dry carboxylate salt mixture (DCM). Fourteen animal were used in the study comparising eight Ongole Grade cattle and six Swamp buffalo. Each group of animal was allotted to control ration and control ration plus DCM. They were set up in a factorial design with species and ration as the factors. The result showed that administration of protected lemuru fish oil in the ration did not obviously influence meat yield and each distribution carcass. However Swamp buffalo had significantly higher slaughter weight but lower carcass weight (P<0,05). The Swamp buffalo carcass yield were significantly lower weight of striploin, tenderloin, silverside and topside if compared to Ongole Grade cattle.

Judul: Komponen Karkas dan Sifat Fisik Daging Sapi PO dan Kerbau Rawa yang Digemukkan Menggunakan Ransum yang Disuplementasi Campuran Garam Karboksilat Kering
Abstrak: Peranakan Ongole cattle and buffalo are meat producing ruminants commonly found in Indonesia. The study was aimed to examine the carcass yield and meat quality from local cattle and buffalo fattened on feedlot ration supplemented by protected lemuru fish oil in the form of dried carboxylate salt mixture (DCM). They were fattened for approximately 2,5 month. The experiment used six swamp buffalo and eight Peranakan Ongole cattle. The data was analyzed by factorial design with two factor treatment. The first factor was species (cattle and buffalo) and the second factor was ration (supplemented and non supplemented ration with dried carboxylate salt). The result showed that they were no interaction between species and ration on carcass productivity and meat quality characteristics. Carcass productivity and meat quality characteristics were not influenced by ration treatment’s factor. However, bone, tenderness, meat color and fat color were significantly influenced (P<0,05) by species. Buffalo carcass contained less bone compare to Peranakan Ongole carcass. The meat from buffalo was significantly more tender, darker in color, and the fat was lighter in color compare to beef.

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.
