Judul: Ketahanan Parallam dari Limbah Batang Kelapa Sawit (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) Terhadap Rayap Kayu Kering (Cryptotermes cynocephalus Light)
Abstrak: Pemanfaatan limbah batang kelapa sawit sebagai bahan baku alternatif pengganti kayu yaitu dengan membuat parallam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh ukuran dimensi long strand dan perekat pada parallam berbahan baku limbah batang kelapa sawit terhadap serangan rayap kayu kering (Cryptotermes cynocephalus Light). Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan perekat isosianat dan phenol formaldehyde serta variasi dimensi long strand berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap kehilangan berat. Sedangkan perekat dan dimensi tidak memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap mortalitas rayap kayu kering. Hasil ketahanan terbaik terdapat pada parallam B dengan long strand lebar 2 cm dan tebal 0.3 cm menggunakan perekat isosianat dengan nilai kehilangan berat dan mortalitas sebesar 12.18% dan 48%, selain itu pada parallam menggunakan perekat isosianat memiliki feeding rate lebih rendah dibandingkan parallam menggunakan perekat phenol formaldehyde. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian ketahanan terhadap rayap kayu kering pada semua contoh uji parallam termasuk kelas awet IV.

Judul: Keawetan Cross Laminated Timber dari Batang Kelapa Sawit (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) pada Berbagai Orientasi Serat.
Abstrak: Lack of raw materials wood push us to make an alternative raw materials a substitute for wood. On the other hand, the longer period the more palm oil plantations (Elaesis guineensis Jacq) resulted in the waste of palm trunks wasted any more. It also spurred us to utilize waste stems of palm by making a cross laminated timber. The purpose of this study was to test the durability of natural cross laminated timber from oil palm trunks on a variety of fiber orientation. Testing is done by the method of JIS K 1571-2004. The results shows that orientation fibers not affect to the weight loss, mortality, and feeding rate. Form of termite attacks tend to spread but the hole following the orientation of fibers. Cross laminated timber to the orientation angles 30o, 45o, 60o, and 90o there are attack from the direction of the side of a test sample. Based on SNI 01.7202.2006, durability of palm trunks against termite attack belong to the durability of a very bad while cross laminated timber from oil palm trunk belongs to the bad durability.

Judul: Aplikasi Android untuk Pengenalan Citra Karakter Jepang dengan Library Tesseract
Abstrak: Japanese is one of difficult language to learn because the writing is relatively complicated and it has three kind of writing hiragana, katakana, and kanji. In this study, the Japanese character recognition system based on Android is designed to recognize Japanese character image and translate it into Indonesian using the library Tesseract OCR (Optical Character Recognition). OCR is a technique to convert non digital text into digital text or literally be interpreted as optical character recognition. In this study there were five functional requirements taking a picture with a camera, taking pictures form gallery, the conversion from image to text, text editing of Japanese character form OCR results, and display the results of Japanese text translations. Based on 10 samples of Japanese characters that have been tested, the accuracy values obtained from the test image from the camera around 80% and 94% image from the gallery. Besides test of applications using the questionnaire reached 91%. Thus this application is expected to be able to recognize the image of Japanese characters and translate them into Indonesian according to user needs.
