Judul: Optimasi jaringan syaraf tiruan menggunakan algoritme genetika
Abstrak: Neural network is one of common computational model to recognize pattern. Backpropagation algorithm can be used as method to train the networks weights. One of the drawbacks of backpropagation training is the initial weights generated randomly. It causes the instability of neural network training performance. Because of this, many experiment and training must be conducted to obtain the desired model. This research combine genetic algorithm and neural network to overcome random generation problem. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to find the optimal initial weights based on learning using Mean Square Error as objective function. The initial weights using GA is expected to be stable and better than those generated. The experimental research showed that genetic algorithm can be used to optimize the performance of backpropagation neural network. The optimal initial weights from genetic algorithm is more stable than the initial weights from regular method. The classification accuracy of genetic algortihm and neural network is also higher than regular method. This indicated GA method is promising to increase the neural network performance and can be applied in various real problem.

Judul: Optimasi Jaringan Syaraf Tiruan Dengan Algoritma  Genetika Untuk Peramalan Curah Hujan
Abstrak: Informasi tentang banyaknya curah hujan sangat berguna bagi para petani dalam mengantisipasi kemungkinan terjadinya peristiwa-peristiwa ekstrim (kekeringan dan kebanjiran) yang akan berakibat kegagalan dalam proses produksinya. Dengan demikian, ketersediaan informasi ini memerlukan suatu metode peramalan curah hujan yang akurat. Beberapa penelitian yang sudah dilakukan belum memberikan hasil yang memuaskan. Algoritma genetika standar adalah metode yang digunakan untuk optimasi konfigurasi neuron pada lapisan tersembunyi dalam Jaringan Syaraf Tiruan (JST) ini. Teknik pembelajaran JST yang digunakan dalam metode peramalan curah hujan ini adalah JST propagasi balik standar dengan arsitektur banyak lapis yaitu satu lapisan input, satu lapisan tersembunyi, dan satu lapisan output. Keakuratan hasil prediksi JST diukur berdasarkan R2 dan RMSE-nya. Ujicoba terhadap sistem telah dilakukan JST dalam peramalan curah hujan dan hasilnya dibandingkan dengan metode principal component regression (PCR) dan JST propagasi balik standar dengan hasil terbaiknya dengan jumlah neuron 9 dan laju pembelajaran 0.02. Hasil peramalan curah hujan menggunakan metode PCR menghasilkan R2 sebesar 63%, sedangkan peramalan dengan menggunakan metode jaringan syaraf tiruan propagasi balik menghasilkan R2 sebesar 74%, dan JST yang dioptimasi menjadi 87%. Hal ini menunjukkan adanya peningkatan R2. Berdasarkan ujicoba tersebut dapat diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa optimasi JST dengan algoritma genetika dapat digunakan untuk memperbaiki tingkat pendugaan curah hujan dengan menggunakan data GCM daripada metode PCR dan JST propagasi balik standar.

Judul: Insecticidal Activity of Essential Oils Leaves of Cinnamomum spp. (Lauraceae) against Crocidolomia pavonana and Their Phytotoxicity on Broccoli Seedlings
Abstrak: Essential oils from leaves of 13 species of Cinnamomum were tested for their insecticidal activity on the cabbage head caterpillar Crocidolomia pavonana with leaf immerse method. The results showed that the treatment with 1% (w/v) essential oils leaves of C. celebicum, C. multiflorum, C. sintoc, and C. verum caused 21.45, 93.65, 60.30, and 76.10% mortality, respectively. Based on the results of phytotoxicity and insecticidal activity tests, C. multiflorum oil was further tested at 6 concentration levels. In all treatments, larval mortality has occurred at 24 hours after treatment (HAT) and increased at 48 HAT. LC50 of C. multiflorum oil at 24 and 48 HAT was 0.504 and 0.396%, respectively. The treatment with C. multiflorum oil at ≤0.31% did not inhibit the development of C. pavonana larvae. Determination of the chemical constituents of Cinnamomum oils were carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). Totally, 345 compounds were identified. Methyleugenol constituted the main component (49.4%) of leaf essential oil of C. multiflorum and was assumed to be responsible for the insecticidal activity of the oil against C. pavonana larvae. LC50 of pure methyleugenol obtained at 0.365% (48 HAT) and 0.363% (72 HAT). The results showed that C. multiflorum was more effective with LC50 value equivalent to methyleugenol content of 0.32% (24 HAT) and 0.24% (48 HAT).
