Judul: Identifikasi penyakit padi dan anthurium menggunakan wavelet dengan klasifikasi k-nearest neighbors
Abstrak: Leaf disease on Anthurium and rice can inflict financial loss to farmers. Eradication of the diseases can done, determining the type of disease is still difficult. This research proposed a new study on measuring for automatically identification of plant disease based on leaf image with the input of digital image. Detection process started with feature extraction using Haar wavelet transform and the identification process using the k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN). This study, used the image which consists of seven hundred images, divided into seven classes consisting of 80% for training data and 20% for test data. The experimental result showed that identification of plant disease with leaf anthurium using k-NN is better than that of leaf anthurium and rice. The experimental result show that the accuracy system is 72.8%.

Judul: pengukuran kinerja k-nearest neighbors dan self organizing maps menggunakan fast fourier transform untuk identifikasi penyakit tanaman (studi kasus : tanaman padi dan anthurium)
Abstrak: Plant diseases can reduce the plant sale price, resulting in losses on farmers especially in the economic field. Eradication of the diseases has been done, but determining the type of disease is still difficult. This research proposed a new study on measuring for automatically identification of plant disease based on leaf image with the input of digital image. Detection process started with feature extraction using Fast Fourier Transform and the identification process using the k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) and Self Organizing Maps (SOM). This study, used the image which consists of six hundred pieces of images, that divided into six classes consisting of 70% for train data and 30% for test data. The experimental result showed that identification of plant disease using k-NN is better than that of SOM. The accuracy achieved 76% and 62% for k-NN and SOM respectively.

Judul: Rasio Molar dan Konsentrasi Katalis Methyl Ester Sulfonic Acid pada Proses Sintesis Gliseril Ester
Abstrak: Glycerol is a by-product of biodiesel industry production which still can be further processed into more value-added products. The example is the utilization of glycerol by means of esterification between glycerol and oleic acid with methyl ester sulfonic acid (MESA) catalyst, producing glyceril ester. The purpose of this study was to obtain the conditions of esterification with variable factors were molar ratio between oleic acid and glycerol and the concentrations of added MESA catalyst. Before esterification, crude glycerol was purified by adding 5% (v/v) phosphoric acid 85%, producing glycerol with ±80% glycerol content. Furthermore, glycerol was then esterified with supply of nitrogen, at temperature of 180 °C, and the stirring speed of 400 rpm for 90 minutes. The best combination of molar ratio and concentration of catalyst MESA is on ratio molar 0,8:1 (glycerol : oleic acid) with 0,5% added of catalyst MESA. Esterification on that condition produced glyceryl ester with the yield of 79,55%, density 0,940 g/cm3, acid value 44 mg KOH/g sample, viscosity 90 cP (30 oC), kinematic viscosity 49,04 cSt (40 oC), flash point 206 oC, pour point -1,5 oC, and boiling point 105 oC.
