Judul: Ekspansi Kueri pada Sistem Temu Kembali Informasi Berbahasa Indonesia menggunakan Kamus Dwibahasa
Abstrak: The most frequent problem on information retrieval is the users inability in representing information they need, in a query form. Thus, one of the solutions to overcome such situation is by applying query expansion technique. By applying the method, query will be expanded, and the new query produced will be used to do the search task. One of the approaches in determining the term of the expansion is Translation with Bilingualism Dictionary, which works through query translation process using dictionary, and the calculation of weight from each expanded candidate terms. In order to increase the relevance of the search result, this research uses Translation with Bilingualism Dictionary as the method to apply. Acknowledging the influence of the method, the research trial and error through the observation of the eleven recall precision number is applied to the produced retrieval result by using different expansion terms. Based on the observation of the produced precision number, it is identified that the use of Translation method in this research has not been successfull in increasing the relevance of the search results. The more expansion terms used, the smaller the precision number produced.

Abstrak: In information retrieval, a problem that often happens is that users face difficulty in forming queries intended to find relevant information. In addition, different vocabularies are used by authors to write the same topic leading to vocabulary gap. Query expansion is one way to overcome the problem. Query expansion is a process of adding terms or phrases to the original query to improve information retrieval performance. In this study, the term expansion is obtained from the translation of medical dictionary. Furthermore, several expansion terms are selected based on the proximity relationship with the original query. Test results show that the performance of information retrieval with query expansion using a medical dictionary gives an average precision of about 82%, and more than 95% of relevant documents can be retrieved by this system.

Judul: Production of Nanocellulose- Polyvinyl Alcohol- Alginate Based Filaments
Abstrak: Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFBs) are solid waste that are produced from crude palm oil extraction. Generally, it contains around 41-46.5% of cellulose, 25.3-33.8% of hemicellulose, and 27.6-32.5% of lignin (Suriyani 2009). Nanocellulose (NC) was isolated from OPEFBs through several treatments, including delignification, bleaching, ultrafine grinding, and ultrasonication. The obtained nanocellulose was processed further into filaments by mixing with sodium alginate and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). In this project, nanocellulose- PVA- alginate based filaments were produced by wet spinning method with CaCl2 as coagulant solvent. The effect of several formulations and CaCl2 concentration on the morphological, mechanical, and thermal properties of filaments were observed. The results showed that the increasing of NC concentration produced filaments that have better thermal properties and higher crystallinity, but the morphology of filament surface become rougher. The increasing of NC concentration up to 7% also increased the filament mechanical properties. Meanwhile, the increasing of CaCl2 concentration produced filaments that have better thermal properties, smoother surface, and higher crystallinity (up to 10% CaCl2), but with decreasing of mechanical properties (tensile strength) due to some cracks that occured on the surface of filaments with 13% of CaCl2.
