Judul: Pemadanan Kode Fonetis Secara Otomatis antara Aksara Arab dan Aksara Latin Menggunakan Transliterasi.
Abstrak: Aplikasi seperti IslamiCity dan Lafzi menerapkan sistem pencarian fonetis yang memungkinkan pencarian teks Arab di dalam Alquran menggunakan aksara Latin. Kedua aplikasi tersebut menggunakan aturan pemadanan aksara Arab-Latin tertentu untuk membuat kode fonetis sehingga hasil pencarian tidak sesuai untuk pengguna yang memiliki referensi padanan aksara yang berbeda. Transliterasi dapat digunakan untuk membantu membangkitkan kode fonetis secara otomatis dengan menggunakan algoritme silabifikasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan pengodean fonetis secara otomatis pada aplikasi Lafzi serta membandingkan kinerja sistem dengan kinerja sistem Lafzi berkode manual untuk penutur asli bahasa Indonesia. Sistem menggunakan 2 skema pencarian (pencarian vokal [V] dan tanpa vokal [N]) dan 2 metode pemeringkatan (pemeringkatan jumlah trigram [J] dan posisi trigram [P]) sehingga terdapat 4 skema pengujian: NJ, VJ, NP, dan VP. Pengujian menggunakan 821 variasi query yang didapat dari responden serta diberikan relevance judgments. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja sistem bekerja dengan baik tanpa penurunan kinerja yang signifikan. Nilai average precision (AVP) untuk skema NJ, VJ, NP, dan VP secara berturut-turut adalah 0.644, 0.651, 0.607, dan 0.627.

Judul: Implementasi Pengenalan Suara dalam Pencarian Ayat-Ayat al-Quran Menggunakan MFCC dan Codebook
Abstrak: Pencarian teks ayat-ayat al-Quran tidaklah mudah dikarenakan dibutuhkan keahlian khusus dalam pengetahuan bahasa Arab. Oleh karena itu, dibuatlah sebuah sistem pencarian teks ayat-ayat al-Quran dengan bantuan transkripsi suara agar mempermudah pencarian ayat-ayat al-Quran. Dengan menggunakan MFCC sebagai ekstraksi ciri, suara diubah menjadi sebuah data vektor yang dapat dicirikan dan dijadikan sebuah codebook. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengimplementasikan pengenalan suara ke dalam sebuah sistem pencarian teks al-Quran. Terdapat 4 potongan ayat Al-Quran yang akan diidentifikasi ke dalam ayat-ayat yang mengandung potongan ayat terebut. Penelitian ini berhasil menghasilkan sebuah sistem yang dapat mendeteksi potongan ayat al-Quran pada sebuah ayat dengan akurasi sebesar 85%

Judul: Phylogeography and Species Limits in the Papuan White Snake (Micropechis ikaheka) (Reptilia: Serpentes: Elapidae)
Abstrak: Papua white snake, Micropechis ikaheka, has been distingushed into two subspecies M.i. ikaheka and M.i. fasciatus. However, due to lack of data on their morphology, distribution and ecology, both subspecies often ignored in scintific discussions and refers only byas , Micropechis ikaheka. This study was designed to document the differences between M.i. ikaheka and M.i fasciatus by using scales characteristics and reproductive organ or hemipenes. The study also examine, zoogeography, habitat, diet and cannibalism of both subspecies to better understanding the the ecology of one of the most venomous snakes in the world. This study consists of three topics with method and also different in the size samples, respectively. The first study is the histology and microtopography of the skin were studied using paraffin method and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The second is the hemipenis were examined by following Myers and Cadle (2003), and Zaher and Prudente (2003). The third is the abdominal surgery was carried out to document diet type and the investigate phenomenon of cannibalism in the snake. Specimens for this study came from the collection from Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense (MZB) and Universitas Negeri Papua’s Laboratory (LZU). The research result also indicated that the markers of skin and hemipenis described the same structure and microornamentation in all M. ikaheka groups being compared. Based specimens examined morphological descriptions do not s support the further differentiation in Micropechis. In short, two markers that used in this study could not sufficiently indicate the differences in the level of species and subspecies of M. ikaheka. The study, however, were able to delineate zoogeography and skin color patterns, which fall into four groups: M. i. ikaheka; M. i. fasciatus. M. i. ssp. “intermediate”; and M. i. ssp “black”. This study also revealed that color variations did not overlap in their geographic distribution. It is therefore, it suggested that environmental factors may contribute to the skin color variations. It also assumed that habitat discontinuous and biogeography factors may also cause the loss of the connection between the original populations (vicarians) or follow colonization events (dispersal). The examined of 22 stomach contents of M. ikaheka shows this species is carnivorous, and prey on vertebrates such as amphibians, fish, reptiles, and Mammals. These snakes are opportunistic predators since they prey on all that can be captured, but mainly reptiles (61.5%), followed by mammals and fish (both 15.4%), and amphibians (7.7%). Although categorized as terrestrial animal, the diet study showed that M. ikaheka snakes often go into the water to hunt for fish (the sample from Yapen island), including eel (the sample from Aru island). Based on prey items indentified, there is evidence that M. ikaheka is cannibal. At this time, there still no record on reason for cannibalism, but it is assumed that cannibalism was due to competition between populations and means to control population.
