Abstrak: Voice signal can be used to represent a speaker. Voice can also be used to recognize the age range and the gender of the speaker, because of the difference in frequency of the voice signal for different age and gender. Age range for this experiment is divided into children (8-10 years old), teenagers (12-17 years old) and adults (30-50 years old). We performed feature extraction to obtain a representation of the speaker using Mel-Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient (MFCC). MFCC is used with 13, 20, 26 coefficients. Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) is used as the feature matching model. The PNN model is constructed from three different proportions of TRD (Training data) : TSD (Testing data) (25%:75%, 50%:50%, 75%:25%). MFCC with 26 coefficient gives the best accuracy of 93.47%. The proportion of 75% (TRD) : 25% (TSD) also gives the best accuracy of 94.22%. PNN-age and PNN-gender identification result in an accuracy of 91.26%. Specifically, PNN accuracy percentage for male and female are 92.26%, and 95.20%, respectively, while for children, teenagers and adults the accuracies are 99.85%, 92.28% and 95.57%, respectively. In conclusion, the average of accuracy for all categories is 91.26%. The experiment using the voice of male-teenagers gives the worst accuracy, which is caused by the overlapping frequencies of voice in children, teenagers and adults.

Judul: Perbandingan Metode Pengenalan Pola Suara Menggunakan Codebook dan Probabilistic Neural Network Berdasarkan Kisaran Usia dan Jenis Kelamin
Abstrak: Voice signal be used to identify a speaker, including the age range and gender based on the difference of its frequency characteristic. This research compares two method of voice identification namely codebook and probability neural network (PNN) in recognizing the age range and gender of the speaker. In this research, the age range is divided into three categories namely children (8-11 years old), teenagers (12-17 years old) and adults (30-50 years old). Each age category is divided based on gender, so that there are six categories in total. This research utilized 600 voice data representing the total six categories. MFCC is used as a method of feature extraction, whereas K-means is used as the clustering method. Several important parameters in the MFCC process are the number of cepstral coefficients, overlap, and time frame. The overlap and time frame values are 0.5 and 40 ms, respectively; whereas the chosen cepstral coefficients to produce the maximum accuracy are 13, 20, and 26. The comparison of voice identification is constructed from three different proportions of training data and testing data (25%:75%, 50%:50%, 75%:25%). It is shown that the accuracy of codebook method is 97.20% whereas that of PNN is 95.17%.

Judul: Characterizations of low alloy steel sae 4422  plated with chromic acid (Cro3)
Abstrak: Characterizations of low alloy steel SAE 4422 plated with chromic acid (CrOrO3) was use Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), RD),Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-Ray (EDAX), Hardness Test and Roughness Test. Microstructures analysis exhibits cracks and grain boundaries microcracks as a characteristics of chrome metal found at plating metal. Perlite and Ferrite as grains of steel found at base metal with grain boundaries around it. Phase analysis of plating metal appropriate to chrome metal with lattice constant (a) is 2.559 Å and phase analysis of base metal appropriate to iron ferrite with lattice constant (a) is 3.318 Å. Both plating and base metal have cubic system. Chemical analysis of plating metal at surface section exhibits that cracks area have highest value of carbon element compare with grains and grains boundaries area. While chemical analysis of base metal at cross section exhibits that perlite have highest value of carbon element compare with ferrite and grain boundaries. The hardness value of plating metal at surface section and cross section are 753 and 637 VHN. While, the hardness value of base metal and interface area at cross section are 205 and 373 VHN. The roughness value at measurement points of chrome surface for as received sample are 0.445 μm. Observation used Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy exhibits surface irregularities combine to form surface texture of plating metal at surface section.
