The impacts of the 2014 Coup on Thailand's relations with the People's Republic of China and the United States of America
Authors:   , Yang Xue 
Published: May 2024

Thailand's foreign policy in the international stage has often been compared to bamboo that bends with the wind. The contrasting reactions from China and the United States to Thailand's 2014 military coup have shaped the new orientation of Thailand's international relations. China has traditionally pursued a foreign policy of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, gaining favor with the military government led by General Prayuth. The U.S. government, led by President Obama, issued strong outright condemnation and military sanctions against the 2014 coup. In response to the U.S. criticism of the coup and China's non-interference policy, Thailand under the NCPO regime gradually distanced from the U.S. while moving closer to China. By examining Thailand's positions and roles in the selected agendas, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, the South China Sea dispute, and the joining of multilateral economic organizations, this study found that as a result of the 2014 coup, Thailand's international relations are characterized by gradual estrangement from the United States and closer alliance to China in regard to both military and economic relations. Moreover, this study proposes that the foreign policy of the military government during the NCPO regime cannot be described as "bending with the wind" diplomacy.

Published: May 2024

In the context of building earthquake-resistant houses, the use of ferrosement technology can be an effective solution to face unique environmental challenges. The sustainability, strength, and earthquake resistance provided by ferrosement make it an attractive option in an effort to improve the quality and safety of buildings in areas prone to earthquakes. This study will use a comparative method to analyze the cost needs of building earthquake-resistant houses using Ferromen technology. The total cost of materials for ferrosemen houses with type 7 x 6 amounted to 69,783,571,131. The use of ferrrosemen technology in home construction offers significant cost efficiency potential compared to traditional construction methods. This is mainly because the raw materials used in fermenting, such as local soil and fiber, are generally more affordable and widely available. 2. Focus on Strength Ferrocement technology focuses strength on the foundation of the house which uses an inverted T foundation with woven concrete iron, which is much stronger than the river stone foundation. Although further research and local adaptation are still needed, the use of ferrrosement technology is promising as a more economical alternative in house construction. This can be a sustainable solution to improve access to affordable housing for people in various regions, especially in developing countries. However, it is important to consider factors such as soil conditions, climate, and availability of local resources in effectively implementing this technology.

Published: May 2024

Background and aim: TMJ arthralgia is a painful ailment that is thought to be related to local inflammation in the jaw joint. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a single intra-articular (IA) injection of butorphanol into the TMJ for lowering pain and improving mouth opening. The concept was that butorphanol would significantly lessen TMJ pain and improve mouth opening.
Methods: Eleven patients were treated in this serie, which was followed up on for three months. Participants in the study had to be at least 18 years old and have a unilateral TMJ arthralgia diagnosis. Butorphanol IA injections weighing 1 mL were given to all individuals. The main result was an analysis of the per protocol population's change in recorded pain intensity on a visual analogue scale (VAS) at maximum jaw opening.
Results: Mouth opening improved after treatment as values ​​increased: 1 week after treatment mean ± SD = 3.072 ± 0.373, after 1 month of treatment the values of mouth opening ​​increased significantly, the highest values ​​occurred after 3 months of treatment where the mouth-opening values ​​were twice the pre-treatment period. Pre-treatment central trend measures of pain score were: the mean ± SD =7.364 ± 1.12, the pain score decreased after treatment, one week after treatment the mean ± SD =3.636 ± 1.748, one month after treatment values decreased significantly, the lowest pain scores occurred after 3 months of the treatment in which 25% of patients recorded 0 pain and 75% of patients recorded 1 or less pain score.
Conclusion: Following a single-dose IA injection, butorphanol was beneficial for lowering pain and improving mouth opening in individuals with TMJ arthralgia.

A field experiment was carried out during the rainy (kharif) and winter (rabi) seasons of 2011 to 2014 at ICAR Research Complex for Eastern Region, Patna, Bihar to evaluate the performance of rice (Oryza sativa L.)–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system under different tillage practices and sowing methods with economics. Four methods of sowing in rice, viz. zero-tilled rice (ZT), wet sowing through drum seeder, unpuddled mechanical trans planted rice (UT) and puddled transplanting (CT); whereas in wheat 3 methods of sowings, viz. zero-till-sowing (ZT), manual line sowing (CT) and sowing with Turbo Happy seeder (HS), were evaluated and compared. Unpuddled mechanical transplanting of rice followed by manual sowing of wheat recorded the least bulk density (1.52 Mg/m3), which was statistically at par with puddled transplanting of rice followed by zero/reduced tilled wheat (1.55 Mg/m3). The CT-HS and CT-ZT practice under rice–wheat cropping system showed higher water-holding ca pacity (42.34%), mean weight diameter (0.943 mm), water-stable aggregates (32.45%) and higher hydraulic con ductivity (3.05 mm/ hr) over ZT-ZT and CT-CT practice at 0–15 cm of soil depth. Grain yield of conventionally transplanted rice (4.56 t/ha) was statistically at par with unpuddled mechanical transplanted rice, however the highest output : input ratio of 2.4 was recorded in unpuddled mechanically transplanted rice. Wheat grown in plots of manually transplanted rice and mechanical transplanted rice, gave significantly higher yield, i.e. 4.54 and 4.4 t/ ha, with an output : input ratio of 2.1 and 2.2 respectively. Wheat sown by Turbo Happy seeder gave significantly higher grain yield (4.38 t/ha) over other methods of sowing. Zero-tilled rice and mechanically transplanted rice saved 81.6 and 72.3% of sowing cost and 97.3 and 95.6% in terms of time taken in sowing/transplanting on hect are basis respectively. Sowing of wheat through zero-till-drill and Turbo Happy Seeder economized the overall cost of cultivation by 9,800 and 9,110/ha respectively along with 10–12 days earliness in sowing of wheat after harvesting of rice crop. In terms of system productivity, CT-HS and UT-HS practices provided the maximum pro ductivity with higher benefit: cost ratio. From soil health and yield point of view, zero/reduced tillage followed by conventional tillage or conventional tillage followed by zero/reduced tillage in rice–wheat system (CT-ZT scenario) was found most promising tillage practice.

Cloud computing is a technological advancement enabling virtual access to IT resources via the internet, although its management isn't always straightforward. To address this challenge, the concept of serverless computing has been developed as an innovative solution, allowing users to pay based on their usage needs.
However, many companies still struggle with determining the use of serverless and calculating associated costs. This research aims to qualitatively analyze three types of serverless offerings in GCP: App Engine, Cloud Functions, and Cloud Run, using a user stories model. Additionally, it calculates cost estimates using the Google Pricing Calculator.
This study provides insights into comparing each serverless type and assists companies in selecting the appropriate solution. The analysis in this research identifies App Engine as one of the serverless options offering optimal and flexible usage at an affordable price. App Engine is well-suited for businesses or developers seeking a straightforward deployment process. However, it is essential to note that the selection of a serverless platform should be tailored to the needs and complexity of the applications to be executed.

Viscosity corrections for concentrated suspension in capillary flow with wall slip
Authors: Wang Z. Y. , Lam Y. C. , Chen X. , Joshi S. C. 
Published: October 2009

AbstractCorrections for viscosity measurements of concentrated suspension with capillary rheometer experiments were investigated. These corrections include end effects, Rabinowitsch effect, and wall slip. The effects of temperature, particle concentration, and contraction ratio on the end effects were studied and their effects were accounted for using an entrance and exit losses model. The non‐Newtonian effect and the nonlinearity of slip velocity against wall shear stress were described using a slip model. The true viscosity of a concentrated suspension with glass powder suspended in a non‐Newtonian binder system was calculated as a function of shear rate and effective particle concentration, taking into consideration particle migration, which is calculated by a diffusive numerical model. Particle size was found to affect significantly the viscosity of the suspension with viscosity decreasing with increasing particle size, which can be reflected by a decrease in the value of the power‐law index in the Krieger model. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2010
Clinical and molecular features of Joubert syndrome and related disorders
Authors: Parisi Melissa A. 
Published: October 2009

AbstractJoubert syndrome (JBTS; OMIM 213300) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a specific congenital malformation of the hindbrain and a broad spectrum of other phenotypic findings that is now known to be caused by defects in the structure and/or function of the primary cilium. The complex hindbrain malformation that is characteristic of JBTS can be identified on axial magnetic resonance imaging and is known as the molar tooth sign (MTS); other diagnostic criteria include intellectual disability, hypotonia, and often, abnormal respiratory pattern and/or abnormal eye movements. In addition, a broad spectrum of other anomalies characterize Joubert syndrome and related disorders (JSRD), and may include retinal dystrophy, ocular coloboma, oral frenulae and tongue tumors, polydactyly, cystic renal disease (including cystic dysplasia or juvenile nephronophthisis), and congenital hepatic fibrosis. The clinical course can be variable, but most children with this condition survive infancy to reach adulthood. At least eight genes cause JSRD, with some genotype–phenotype correlations emerging, including the association between mutations in the MKS3 gene and hepatic fibrosis characteristic of the JSRD subtype known as COACH syndrome. Several of the causative genes for JSRD are implicated in other ciliary disorders, such as juvenile nephronophthisis and Meckel syndrome, illustrating the close association between these conditions and their overlapping clinical features that reflect a shared etiology involving the primary cilium. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
High‐Oxidation‐State Palladium Catalysis: New Reactivity for Organic Synthesis
Authors: Muñiz Kilian 
Published: October 2009

AbstractRecent years have seen the rapid development of a new field of palladium catalysis in organic synthesis. This chemistry takes place outside the usually encountered Pd0/PdIIcycles. It is characterized by the presence of strong oxidants, which prevent further palladium(II)‐promoted reactions at a given point of the catalytic cycle by selective metal oxidation. The resulting higher‐oxidation‐state palladium complexes have been used to develop a series of new synthetic transformations that cannnot be realized within conventional palladium catalysis. This type of catalysis by palladium in a higher oxidation state is of significant synthetic potential.

Published: October 2009

AbstractWith ammonium persulfate (APS) as the initiator, the kinetics of methyl methacrylate (MMA) grafting polymerization onto flaky aluminum powder (Al) was studied. It was found that the experimental apparent grafting polymerization rate, Rg = KC × C × C, was basically consistent with the theoretical result based on the theory of stable polymerization and equivalent activity, Rg = KC × C × CMMA. The activation energy of grafting, homogenous, and total polymerization rate was calculated as 65.1, 35.4, and 37.5 kJ mol−1, respectively. It could be validated that the relationship among these activation energies accorded with the theoretical result of parallel reactions. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010

Authors: Kumar Santosh , Nigam Nidhi , Ghosh T. , Dutta P. K. , Yadav R. S. , Pandey A. C. 
Published: October 2009

AbstractA novel chitosan–anthraldehyde derivative film was prepared by the reaction of 79% deacetylated chitosan with 9‐anthraldehyde with a hydrogel by a solution casting method. The prepared chitosan derivative film was confirmed by ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy of the absorption peak at 266 nm due to the presence of an anthracene ring. The crosslinking reaction showed significant changes in the Fourier transform infrared spectrum of the chitosan derivative film. The characteristic peak of CHN stretching bands at 1610 cm−1 confirmed the formation of a Schiff base after the reaction of chitosan with 9‐anthraldehyde. The film was evaluated by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and second harmonic generation (SHG). The nature of the crystallinity of the chitosan derivative from X‐ray diffraction analysis confirmed that the film may have had nonlinear optical properties. The chitosan derivative showed a redshifted emission maximum because of the electron‐rich polymer main chain. No reabsorption of the second harmonic signal and no resonance enhancements were noticed during the SHG study; this indicated that the chitosan derivative possessed SHG ability. Overall, the chitosan derivative film opens new perspectives for optical material for biomedical applications. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010

AbstractObjectiveRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but longitudinal observations are limited and the precise magnitude is unknown. We prospectively assessed the incidence of CVD in patients with RA compared with patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and the general population.MethodsThe 3‐year incidence rate of CVD was determined in a prospective cohort (the Cardiovascular Research and Rheumatoid Arthritis Study) of 353 outpatients with RA, and was compared with that in 1,852 population‐based cohort study participants (155 had type 2 DM). We investigated fatal and nonfatal CVD (according to International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision criteria) and used Cox proportional hazards models to assess the incidence of CVD in RA, type 2 DM, and the general population.ResultsThe 3‐year incidence of CVD was 9.0% in patients with RA and 4.3% in the general population, corresponding with an incidence rate of 3.30 per 100 patient‐years (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 2.08–4.25) and 1.51 per 100 person‐years (95% CI 1.18–1.84), respectively. Compared with the general population, the age‐ and sex‐adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for RA was 1.94 (95% CI 1.24–3.05, P = 0.004). Neither exclusion of patients with prior CVD at baseline nor adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors significantly influenced this. Compared with the nondiabetic population, nondiabetic patients with RA and those with type 2 DM had comparable HRs, 2.16 (95% CI 1.28–3.63, P = 0.004) and 2.04 (95% CI 1.12–3.67, P = 0.019), respectively.ConclusionThe risk of CVD in RA was significantly elevated compared with the general population, and comparable with the magnitude of risk in type 2 DM.
