PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN TEPUNG DAUN INDIGOFERA SP DALAM RANSUM TERHADAP KONVERSI DAN EFISIENSI PAKAN BURUNG PUYUH (COTURNIS-COTURNIS JAPONICA)

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan tepung daun indigofera sp dalam ransum terhadap konsumsi pakan dan pertambahan bobot badan burung puyuh (Coturnis-Coturnis Japonica). Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 4 perlakuan dengan 3 kali ulangan. Setiap ulangan terdiri dari 5 ekor puyuh, perlakuan yang diterapkan yaitu: P0 = Tanpa perlakuan (kontrol). P1 = Perlakuan tepung daun indigofera sp (5%). P2 = Perlakuan tepung daun indigofera sp (10%). P3 = Perlakuan tepung daun indigofera sp (15%). Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Juni sampai Juli 2021. Bertempat di Desa Pakeng, Kecamatan Lembang, Kabupaten Pinrang, Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, penambahan tepung daun indigofera sp dalam ransum berpengaruh sangat nyata (P<0,01) terhadap konversi pakan dan efisiensi pakan burung puyuh. Adapun perlakuan terbaik yaitu P3 (penambahan 15% tepung daun indigofera sp)

Implementing Weekly Work Plan Lab into CM 214 - Residential Construction

A schedule is one of the primary components of any construction project and can determine the success of a job. Schedules most often contain high-level line items and lack the details it takes to actually implement daily work in the field. Subcontractors, as the specialists, understand the myriad of smaller tasks that a master schedule omits. It is the job of a superintendent to extract this information from subcontractors during pull plans, to build precise schedules, called weekly work plans (WWP). At Cal Poly it is expected that students receive a well-rounded curriculum in how to build various types of schedules. The CM 214 Residential class builds a Tiny House to help students understand the basic steps in building a home. The class does an excellent job teaching through learn-by-doing, however, there is always room for improvement. The proposed class module is centered around a WWP lab, where the goal is to enhance student learning outcomes and prepare students for their careers. The WWP lab was devised from an internship experience, working for Turner Construction at the LA Stadium at Hollywood Park. A WWP is a more detailed schedule than a traditional schedule, which is utilized by superintendents to build and track their work. In the lab, students will be responsible for filling out the WWP before they start building and then track the progress of their work throughout the day. This assignment will help students to increase collaboration, accountability, understanding of the complete building process, and to limit rework

Institutional and environmental problems in geothermal resource development

A number of regulatory and institutional impediments to the development of geothermal energy exist. None of these seem likely to prevent the development of this energy source, but in the aggregate they will pace its growth as certainly as the technological issues. The issues are associated with the encouragement of exploration and development, assuring a market for geothermal steam or hot water, and accomplishing the required research and development in a timely manner. The development of geothermal energy in the United States at a high level is apt to cause both favorable and unfavorable, though manageable, impacts in eight major areas, which are discussed

Process for Thermal Fixation of Atmospheric Nitrogen

This paper discusses a new process for converting atmospheric nitrogen into nitric acid and nitric oxides based on technology and information developed by our aerospace programs. The basis of this process is the high temperature reaction of air to form appreciable percentages of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is thermodynamically unstable at lower temperatures and the initial equilibrium must be frozen in a few milliseconds as the air temperature is decreased to a region of slow kinetics. In this process, compressed air is heated in an electric arc to 3000 - 4000°K. Then it is immediately cooled very fast in a magnetohydrodynamic power conversion unit to about 2000°K and the generated electricity is recycled to the arc heaters. The nitric oxide (NO) formed in the arc is cooled further rapidly in a water spray to about 1400 K. This makes possible a recoverable concentration of 5.0 to 9.0% NO in air for this process. Finally, the nitric oxide reacts with more oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide which is converted to nitric acid by absorption in water. Although some of the thermodynamics and kinetics for this process have been known for years, accurate quantitative determination of the equilibrium and reaction rate values was not done until the aerospace programs in reentry sciences and atomic physics were carried out in the last few years. Engineering and applied science data for this process are required for electric arc heaters, gas heat transfer, gas dynamics, and high temperature materials, and this has been obtained in various aerospace programs

Abstract Quality education is one form of educational services to be provided by all educational institutions in Indonesia, according to the act of the Republik Of Indonesia Number 20 of 2003 article 5 paragraph 1, every citizen has equal rights to receive a good quality education. The research objective are to analyze the main caused of the education quality decreasing and analyze the effort to increase the value of the standard components of education in Madrasah AliyahNegeri 1 Barito Timur, Barito Timur regency. This research used a qualitative method, the data collected by observation, interviews, and documentation. Analyze the data starting with data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The data validation used the observation extension and triangulation techniques. The Subjects are Educators and Education Standards, Facilities and Infrastructure Standards, and Management Standards. The informants are Teacher and Education Staff, and Chairman of the School Committee. This research show, are : (1) Educators and Education Staff are decreasing due to number of teachers are lacking and not in accordance with their educational background, less than 41% of teachers have educator certificate, students don’t have the counselor. The Headmaster of Madrasah doesn’t have Madrasah Headmaster Certificate. Head of the Library doesn’t have a certificate and library staff. Head of laboratory not enough qualified and doesn’t have a lab technician. The Head of Madrasah doesn’t have entrepreneurial capability, unable to plan supervision programs, unable to evaluate the result of supervision, and unable to follow up the result of supervision. Head of the Administrative Staff doesn’t have a certificate. (2) Facilities and Infrastructure Standards are decreasing due to the science lab and practice facilities were not optimally utilized. (3) Management Standars are decreasing due to Work Plan Medium Term (RKJM), The Annual Work Pland (RKT), and the process of determing the organizational structure didn’t consider the opinions of the school committe. The Headmaster didn’t take responsibility to the implementation of non-academic management. Madrasah’s supervisors didn’t conducted academic supervision since 2014. The effort of Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Barito Timur to improve the education quality, are : collecting data of student success and forming the division of teacher assignments. So from the result of this study, Urgent-Important Quadrant Theory by Stephen Covey needs to implementing, to prioritize improvements the current components, and the weekness are improvements would be increase the value of quality education are: (1) Educators and Education Standards are improve by proposing the subject teachers to Banjarmasin Religious Training Center to receive professional education and training competency.
