Perspektif Hisoris Arkeologis Tentang Keragaman Bentuk Bentuk Masjid Tua di Nusantara

In the early history of Islam, the mosque which literally means place of prostration did not refer to a building with a roof or boundary. Most important is the place of prostration. But in subsequent developments, the mosque became more specific sense, namely a building even the environment walled and used as a place of prayers.

The shape and structure of the ornament is dependent on the culture that existed before. It is also easily found all over the archipelago, the shape and ornamentation are influenced by elements of the pre-Islamic, but also influenced by foreign cultures such as China, the Middle East and Europe

Aspek Fisiologis Dan Biokimiawi Infeksi Jamur Patogen Tumbuhan

Physiological and biochemical aspects of plant fungal pathogen infections. Interaction between plants and pathogens is a major subject of interest in the field of contemporary plant pathology. Specificity of this kind of interaction is a very comprehensive phenomenon involving complicated mechanisms at different levels. Elucidation of this phenomenon including physiological and biochemical aspects is therefore an important task. From this point of view, enzymes play one of the most important roles in the infection process and pathogenesis. Our current understanding in this area is quite limited. A relatively limited number of enzymes have so far been studied in relation to the infection process and pathogenesis in plants. In this review, ivolvement of the enzymes, i. e. cutinases, esterases, hydrolases, lyases, cellulases, depolymerases and proteases, during the pathogenesis and their role in different stages of disease development is analyzed

Penerapan Konsep dan Prlnsip Pembelajaran Kontekstual (Contextual Teaching And Learning) dan Desain Pesan dalam Pengembangan Pembelajaran dan Bahan Ajar

In designing, developing, and delivering instructional materials, both for face to face apd written or mediated instruction there are some important principles that should be considered. Among the principles are the contextual teaching and learning (CTL) and the instructional message design principles. The contextual teaching and learning principles consists of relating, experiencing, aplying, cooperating, and transferring. The instructional message design principles consists ofreadiness and motivation, attention directing devices, repetition, student's active participation, and feedback. To get effective instruction, those principles should be imple­ mented and integrated to the instructional strategy components whichconsists ofpre instructional activities, presenting information, eliciting performance, providing feedback, testing, and follow up activities (transferring, remedial, and enrichment)

Pengaruh Fraksi Al2o3-Y2o3/Sio2dan Feed Rate Serbuk Terhadap Kekuatan Lekat Danketahanan Termal Lapisan Pada Substrat Hastelloy Dengan Metode Flame Spray Untuk Aplikasi Nosel Roket

Nosel roket merupakan bagian roket yang mengatur laju, masa, arah dan tekanan fluida yang keluar dari ruang bakar. Nosel harus dapat menahan energi kinetik dan panas dari fluida yang berasal dari ruang bakar.Material yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah serbuk Al2O3-Y2O3/SiO2 yang memiliki nilai konduktifitas panas rendah. Material tersebut dilapiskan kepada substrat hastelloy® x menggunakan metode flame spray dengan memvariasikan feed rate 6, 12 dan 18 gram/menit. Dengan memvariasikan jumlah komposisi ittria 3, 5 dan 7 % pada Al2O3-Y2O3/SiO2. Lalu dilakukan torch termal pada temperatur 1400 oC dengan waktu maksimal 30 detik agar dapat dilihat ketahanan termal.
