Judul: Optimasi Penjadwalan Pelajaran dengan Algoritme Genetika (Studi Kasus Penjadwalan Pelajaran SMA Insan Cendekia Al Kausar Sukabumi)
Abstrak: Lesson scheduling is a job that takes a good deal of time, especially at SMA Insan Cendekia Al Kausar Sukabumi. This study aims at building a computer-based scheduling system using genetic algorithm. The process of genetic algorithm in this study starts with representation of SMA Insan Cendekia Sukabumi timetable into a chromosome that is composed of genes. This process is followed by crossover, mutation, selection, elitism and population replacement of the previous generation. The usage of probability crossover (Pc) of 0.9 and probability of mutation (Pm) of 0.1 turned out to produce the largest fitness value. The data derived from the chromosome with the largest fitness value then used as the lesson schedule.

Judul: Penjadwalan Perkuliahan Dengan Menggunakan Algortima Genetika
Abstrak: Pembuatan jadwal mata kuliah dalam suatu kampus adalah suatu tantangan dan pekerjaan yang cukup komplek. Selain dilihat dari sisi mahasiswa, juga harus dilihat dari sisi dosen, yaitu kemungkinan-kemungkinan dosen akan mengampu lebih dari satu mata kuliah yang ada, sehingga harus diperlukan solusi agar dosen tidak mengajar dua mata kuliah berbeda pada hari dan jam yang sama. Di Fakultas Ilmu Komputer Universitas Kuningan proses pembuatan jadwal penggunaan ruangan dan laboratorium selama ini masih dilakukan secara manual oleh bagian akademik dan Kepala laboratorium. Pada penelitian ini penulis mencoba menyelesaikan masalah penjadwalan perkuliahan menggunakan algoritma genetika dengan metode rank based selection. Percobaan dilakukan sebanyak 7 kali, dimana total pengampuan matakuliah sebanyak 329, jumlah ruang sebanyak 15 kelas terdiri dari 10 ruang teori dan 5 ruang laboratorium, jumlah hari sebanyak 6, sedangkan slot waktu dalam 1 hari yaitu 12 dan hari jumat 10 slot waktu, total 1 minggu sebanyak 70 slot waktu. Pada penelitian ini berhasil memberikan solusi terbaik untuk penjadwalan dengan crossover 0.7 mutasi 0.4, nomor populasi 10, rata-rata waktu adalah 3 jam untuk menghasilkan jadwal terbaik.

Judul: Development of Antioxidant Film from Basil Seed (Ocimum citriodourum) Mucilage Incorporated with Thyme Essential Oil.
Abstrak: The objectives of this research was to evaluate the effects of thyme essential oil addition on physical properties and antioxidant activity of lemon basil seed mucilage film. Lemon basil is a common name for the culinary herb (Ocimum citriodourum). This research project investigated the properties of an edible film based on lemon basil seed mucilage (LBSM) incorporated with thyme essential oil (TEO). LBSM (0.4% w/v) films were prepared by adding glycerol as plasticizers at the concentration of 30% w/w based on the weight of LBSM and then incorporated with TEO for antioxidant properties. LBSM films were given different concentrations of TEO (0%, 1%, 2% and 3% v/v) (0% as the control). The result showed that films with 3 % TEO had the highest water vapor permeability (WVP) (3.27±0.38 x10-4g mm/m2d kPa), while the control film showed the lowest WVP (1.36±0.28 x10-4g mm/m2d kPa). Water solubility were decreased with the increase in TEO concentration (p<0.05). 1% TEO films showed the highest tensile strength (5.17±0.54MPa) but lower % elongation at break (11.28±1.86%) compared to the other two films (p<0.05) (excluding the control). Scanning electron microscopy showed that the microstructure of the TEO LBSM films had a critical effect on its physical properties, further supporting the tensile strength and WVP results. The 3% TEO film exhibited the highest radical scavenging activity on DPPH (3.3±0.04 % inhibition) (p<0.05) while the others were very low and had slight difference. Increasing the amount of TEO will increase the antioxidant activity, but further increasing the concentration of TEO will also weaken the physical properties of the film.
