Physical aging of Zr65Cu17.5Ni10Al7.5 glassy alloy has been studied after holding its samples with variation of time and temperature of annealing. The results showed that the enthalpy and entropy decreased with time according to a non-exponential kinetics. The Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) heating scan after annealing was analyzed using Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan (TNM) model. The analysis showed that a set of parameters that fitted the heating scan data for one annealing time did not fit the heating scan data for another annealing time. This is explained due to approximations used in the model and the effect of Johari-Goldstein (JG) relaxation to the physical aging.

The partners in this Community Service Program (PkM) are a group of freshwater fish cultivators in RW 04 Jatibening Baru Village, Bekasi City. Two main problems for partners are: 1. the high cost of fish feed so that business profits are not maximized and 2. business management that is not yet optimal. The purpose of this PkM activity is to apply appropriate technology for fish feed pellet machines as a result of faculty members’ research to benefit partners. The implementation method for this PkM is: The first stage is to collect data on the need for the number of fish feed pellets from partners, which then determines the type of pellet maker that is most suitable and then manufactures the pellet maker. The next stage is conducting training to partners in making fish feed pellets and business management with the canvas business model. By carrying out this service activity, it can be concluded that: 1. partners are able to reduce the cost of fish feed by 50%, 2. partners are able to make nutritional compositions for fish feed, and 3. partners understand the basics of the canvas business model in business management.

Estimating entropy of glass cannot be performed using the time-dependent and irreversible part of the heat capacity (Cp) which is measured in the glass-formation range. The difference of the estimate and the real change in entropy can be determined by calculating the change in the CpdT and CpdlnT integrals before and after isothermal annealing by using DSC. In this paper, we report this estimation difference for Zr65Cu17.5Ni10Al7.5 glassy alloy. The minimized annealing results in the CpdlnT integrals for the cooling and the heating paths approach the same value. We affirm that entropy is an ensemble-averaged value since the Clausius limits show that the estimation of the residual entropy is not affected significantly by irreversibility and its value can be estimated from the Cp data.
Daerah wisata Guci, Tegal setiap hari dapat menghasilkan sampah organik dan anorganik yang mencapai 1 ton per hari. Hal ini disebabkan pengunjung yang naik dari tahun ke tahun, ditambah lagi hari libur yang dapat menambah kapasitas sampah di daerah wisata tersebut. Karena itu, diharapkan ada penyelesaian masalah sampah di wisata Guci, Tegal yaitu penanganan sampah yang tepat dan dapat dilakukan secara mandiri. Metode yang digunakan dalam memecahkan masalah ini adalah dengan persiapan, pra kegiatan, kegiatan, demonstrasi dan pasca kegiatan. Dalam kegiatan tersebut dihadiri oleh para karyawan pengelola wisata sebanyak 20 orang. Hasil utama dari kegiatan pelatihan ini adalah para karyawan mendapatkan ilmu mengenai pentingnya memilah sampah, memperkenalkan mesin pengolah sampah organik dan mengetahui cara menjalankan mesin tersebut. Sehingga diharapkan mesin pengolah sampah organic dapat membantu dalam mengurangi timbunan di penampungan sampah. Kontribusi dari hasil pelatihan penggunaan mesin pengolah sampah organik ini yaitu dapat membantu para karyawan wisata Guci untuk dapat mempraktekkan mesin dan menambah pengetahuan mengenai pengolahan sampah menjadi sesuatu yang berguna dan bermanfaat.
