Studi Perbandingan Penggunaan Aspal Minyak Dengan Aspal Buton Lawele Pada Campuran Aspal Concrete Base Course (Ac-bc) Menggunakan Metode Marshall Test

  Campuran beraspal merupakan bagian perkerasan lentur  yang terletak dibagian atas atau diatas lapis poondasi. Karena letaknya diatas maka campuran beraspal harus tahan terhadap pengausan akibat beban roda kendaraan dan pengaruh lingkungan (panas matahari dan air hujan). Disamping itu, campuran aspal dituntut untuk memiliki kekuatan yang baik sehingga dapat mengeliminasi tegangan vertical. Campuran Aspal Concrete Base Coarse (AC-BC) merupakan bagian dari perkerasan lentur yang berfungsi sebagai lapis pondasi. Pada Penelitian ini di lakukan pengujian perbandingan penggunaan aspal minyak dengan aspal buton dengan menggunakan method karakteristik marshall mulai dari kepadatan, rongga dalam campuran, rongga dalam agregat, rongga terisi aspal, stabilitas marshall, stabilitas flow dan hasil bagi marshall sehingga akan diperoleh karekteristik sesuai dengan spesifikasi teknik 2010.  Dari hasil studi perbandingan campuran ac-bc, penggunaan aspal minyak, aspal buton dengan variasi kadar aspal minyak, maka diperoleh campuran yang provorsional yaitu, campuran ac-bc dengan menggunakan aspal buton 25% dari berat agregat dan campuran ac-bc dengan kadar apal minyak  5,0 %, memiliki grafik stabilitas yang hamper sama akan tetapi pada campuran tambahan lawele memiliki stabilitas flow yang relativ tinggi. Sehingga penulis menyimpulkan penggunaan tambahan asbuton memiliki keunggulan dipergunakan untuk konstruksi jalan lingkungan dan untuk pekerjaan pemeliharaan jalan lingkungan sehingga perlu dikembangkan oleh instansi pemerintah maupun swasta guna perkembangan jaringan transportasi di provinsi Gorontalo pada khususnya dan Negara Indonesia pada umumnya.      Kata Kunci : Aspal Minyak, Aspal Buton, Lawele, Marshall Test

Effects of nonuniform incident illumination on the thermal performance of a concentrating triple junction solar cell

PublishedJournal ArticleA numerical heat transfer model was developed to investigate the temperature of a triple junction solar cell and the thermal characteristics of the airflow in a channel behind the solar cell assembly using nonuniform incident illumination. The effects of nonuniformity parameters, emissivity of the two channel walls, and Reynolds number were studied. The maximum solar cell temperature sharply increased in the presence of nonuniform light profiles, causing a drastic reduction in overall efficiency. This resulted in two possible solutions for solar cells to operate in optimum efficiency level: (i) adding new receiver plate with higher surface area or (ii) using forced cooling techniques to reduce the solar cell temperature. Thus, surface radiation exchanges inside the duct and Re significantly reduced the maximum solar cell temperature, but a conventional plain channel cooling system was inefficient for cooling the solar cell at medium concentrations when the system was subjected to a nonuniform light distribution. Nonuniformity of the incident light and surface radiation in the duct had negligible effects on the collected thermal energy. © 2014 Fahad Al-Amri and Tapas Kumar Mallick.This work was supported by King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia

The Extension Workers' Competency in Developing Small Agribusiness Capital in the District of Bogor, West Java

Extension agents had to develop their competencies in promoting small agribusiness capital. They needed this new skill so they could assist small farmers to develop their agribusinesses. Every enterprise – what ever its scale -- needed capital. In conjunction with this, the objectives of this research were: (1) to describe the distribution of extension agents on selected characteristics, (2) to identify the agents' competencies in promoting small agribusiness capital, as well as (3) to analyze the relationship of the agents' characteristics and their competencies in promoting small agribusiness capital. Data were collected through interviews with the agents. The obtained data were analyzed by using qualitative as well as quantitative procedures. The research results demonstrated that: firstly, the Extension agents mostly indicated their generic competencies in Agricultural Extension, and lack in specific competencies in farm management, especially in small agribusiness capital formation. Secondly, agents considered promoting the small farmers self-help capability, facilitating the promotion of village financial institution, and evaluating extension program as the three most important competencies, and thirdly, regardless of their characteristics, most of the agents interviewed agreed to the rank order of nine competency areas

Sarjana (Sarana Belajar Anak Jalanan): Pemberdayaan Anak Jalanan Mandiri, Kreatif dan Inovatif melalui Pendidikan Kewirausahaan

Makassar city is one of the cities in Indonesia that can not be separated from the problem of street children. Street children are a very vulnerable social group from various acts of violence, whether physical, emotional, sexual or social violence. Therefore, through the program of dedication to the community intend to participate actively in solving the problems of street children through the program "SARJANA (Sarana Belajar Anak Jalanan): Empowerment of Independent Street Children, Creative, and Innovative Through Entrepreneurship Education". The expected expenditure of this program is to enable street children to become independent, creative and innovative in that it no longer becomes a begging demanding society through entrepreneurship education and the provision of appropriate skills in a relatively short period of time. Methods of implementation are: (1) providing entrepreneurial materials, (2) Production and Financial Management materials, (3) Marketing Management Materials, (4) motivational materials, (5) monitoring and evaluation. The result of this devotion is that the built children already have the creative ability to produce various products that can be the future to be self-supporting

Effect of DGAT1 Gene on Hot and Cold Carcass, Neck and Non-Carcass Traits in Indonesia Sheep

Quality carcass and non-carcass are two inseparable components that result from slaughtering animals with high economic value. The aims study is effect of polimorfisme DGAT1 gene on hot and cold carcass, neck and non-carcass traits in Indonesia sheep. A total of 50 rams used in this study were collected from 10 Barbados Cross Sheep (BCS), 10 Compass Agrinac Sheep (CAS), 15 Javanese Thin-Tailed Sheep (JTTS), and 15 Jonggol Sheep (JS). The sheep were slaughtered at 10-12 months old with an average body weight of 20.45 kg. Identification of the DGAT1 gene polymorphism was performed by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The effect of the DGAT1 gene and breed with carcass and non-carcass traits were described using a T-test. The result showed that we found two genotypes: CC (466 bp), and CT (76, 390, and 466 bp) in sheep. The DGAT1 gene polymorphisms (g.8539 C>T) were in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE). The DGAT1 gene polymorphisms had a significant (P<0.05) on carcass traits in neck. However, the DGAT1 gene had no significant association (P>0.05) with non-carcass traits. The CT genotype had the highest value of carcass traits compared to CC genotypes. Therefore, the quality of carcass and non-carcass in Indonesian sheep for the DGAT1 gene only affects the neck value
