Judul: Kecernaan Nutrien Dan Performa Sapi Bali Yang Diberi Ransum Hijauan Tinggi Dan Disuplementasi Sabun Kalsium Minyak Kedelai.
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kecernaan nutrien dan performa sapi bali yang diberi 2 jenis ransum berbeda. Penelitian dilaksanakan menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok dengan 2 perlakuan dan 6 kelompok. Perlakuan ransum terdiri dari P0 = 70% hijauan + 30% konsentrat, P1 = P0 + 10% sabun kalsium dalam konsentrat. Variabel yang diukur adalah konsumsi ransum, kecernaan nutrien, pertambahan bobot badan, dan efisiensi ransum. Data yang diperoleh diuji menggunakan Uji T. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan sabun kalsium minyak kedelai sebanyak 10% pada konsentrat tidak berpengaruh (P>0.05) terhadap konsumsi nutrien, kecernaan nutrien, pertambahan bobot badan harian, dan efisiensi ransum. Sapi bali yang diberi ransum P1 nyata meningkatkan (P<0.05) konsumsi lemak kasar. Disimpulkan bahwa suplementasi 10% sabun kalsium minyak kedelai dapat meningkatkan konsumsi lemak kasar dan tidak berdampak negatif terhadap performa sapi bali.

Judul: Metabolit dan Profil Darah Sapi Bali yang Disuplementasi Sabun Kalsium Minyak Kedelai dalam Ransum.
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis metabolit dan profil darah sapi bali yang diberi 2 jenis ransum berbeda. Ternak yang digunakan adalah 14 ekor sapi Bali dengan bobot awal 208.6±46.34 kg dibagi dalam 2 perlakuan dan 7 kelompok. Perlakuan pada penelitian ini adalah P0 (rumput gajah 70% + konsentrat 30%) dan P1 (rumput gajah 70% + konsentrat 30% yang mengandung 10% sabun kalsium) . Peubah yang diamati dalam penelitian ini adalah metabolit darah (glukosa, kolesterol, trigliserida, albumin dan protein total) dan profil darah (sel darah merah, hemoglobin, hematocrit, trombosit, sel darah putih, limfosit, monosit, eosinofil, neutrofil dan rasio N/L). Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan uji T. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa penambahan sabun kalsium minyak kedelai tidak mengganggu (P>0.05) metabolit darah (glukosa, kolesterol, trigliserida, albumin, dan protein darah) dan profil darah (sel darah putih, sel darah merah, hemoglobin, trombosit, hematokrit, limfosit, dan monosit). Namun penambahan sabun kalsium minyak kedelai nyata menurunkan (P<0.05) kadar eosinofil darah. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa penambahan sabun kalsium dapat membantu meningkatkan pertahanan tubuh terhadap infeksi dan toksik lainnya.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
