title: Performance of vacuum consolidation method for soft ground improvement

description: The research has been carried out by the combination of laboratory experiments and finite element analysis to propose an appropriate method to predict soft soil behavior under vacuum preloading. It can be widely applied at the site to support earth works to avoid any instability of embankment. The prediction behavior of improved soft soil using vacuum preloading method should be concerned significantly not only in the laboratory but also at the field. It aims at avoiding the risks of instability of the embankment surcharging during construction. The simulation vacuum preloading method using tri-axial apparatus is proposed to predict the behavior of soft soil improvement in the laboratory and the increasing of undrained shear strength of soil specimen at any degree of consolidation. This modeling is the effective method to determine the increasing rate of strength of the ground corresponding to loading rate during consolidation process, and to restrict using field test during construction, the cause of damage of airtight sheet membrane, and losing of vacuum pressure. A case study of vacuum consolidation at Nakhorn Sri Thammarat Airport was proposed. During soft soil improvement, the field instrumentations were used to assess the very soft soil behavior and minimize the instability problem in order to enhance effectiveness of this method. The research is proposed to support the engineering task more conveniently. In addition, it is expected to make vacuum preloading method familiarly in the future.

title: Effects of artonin e on lung cancer cell anoikis

description: Anoikisis apoptosis that is induced by loss of adhesion. Anoikisis recognized as a key inhibitory process of cancer metastasis. Because lung cancer cells possess an ability to resist anoikisresulting in a high rate of metastasis and death, the present study aimed to investigate a possible anoikis-sensitizing effect of artonin E (AE). AE was extracted from bark of Artocarpusgomezianus. Anoikis sensitization of AE was investigated in H460 human lung cancer cells. The viable cells were measured by 2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) and level of anoikis-related proteins was determined by western blot analysis. AE was shown to enhance H460 cell anoikisin a concentration-dependent manner. We investigated the underlying mechanism of AE and found that AE sensitized the cells by down-regulating antiapoptotic myeloid leukemia cell sequence 1 (Mcl-1) protein but had no significant effect on other proteins including Bcl-2, Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), cav-1 and p53. Furthermore, anoikis sensitization of AE was consistently observed in A549 and H292 lung cancer cells. The present study demonstrates a novel activity of AE on lung cancer cell anoikis for the first time which might lead to the development of a new strategy for lung cancer therapy.

title: Respiratory effects among non smoking women in relation to household cooking fuel uses: liquefied petroleum gas only, coal only and both liquefied petroleum gas and coal in Tu Liem Suburban District Hanoi Vietnam

description: Background: Indoor air pollution due to cooking fuel was significantly ascribed to global disease burden, especially in developing countries. More than 2 million people in Vietnam use beehive coal as daily cooking fuel. To the best knowledge, data on health effects owing to cooking fuel emission in Vietnam are limited. The study endeavour to compare burden of coal use for cooking with that of gas and both gas and coal use in relation to respiratory effects among women in Tu Liem district as well as determines other factors that associate with respiratory effects. Method: This is a cross-sectional study with the participation of 402 non-smoking women who divided into 3 groups, which are gas use only, coal use only and both coal and gas use for cooking. These women were selected by multi-stage sampling technique. Data on cooking fuel practices, house environments, socio-demographic factors and six respiratory symptoms including cough, phlegm, both cough and phlegm with or without cold for 1 month or more, shortness of breath (SOB) when hurrying on level ground, wheeze with SOB in adulthood, current Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) were collected by interview structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed by bivariate analysis with univariable logistic regression; and multivariable logistic regression with p-value ≤ 0.15. Results: In the bivariate analysis findings, six respiratory effects were found the association with kind of fuel use, number of years used beehive coal and biomass, dampness and mould status, distance of house location to main road and farmland, socio-demographic factors. However, in the multivariable logistic regression models after the adjustment with socio-demographic factors, house conditions; only number of years used beehive coal and biomass positively associated with all six respiratory effects. Meanwhile, other factors including dampness and mould status, exposure to cooking emissions from neighboring households, exposure to gas or chemical fumes in workplace just positively associated with some of respiratory effects. There were two factors showed negative relationships with several respiratory symptoms and illness, which were distance from house location to farmland and main road with OR=0.999 and 0.998, 95%CI=0.998-1 and 0.997-0.999 respectively. Conclusion: The longer exposure to beehive coal and biomass emissions is; the higher risk of respiratory impairments is. The intervention or action should be taken to improve the awareness of community about the choice of safer cooking fuel.

title: Factors related to uterine prolapse among married women of child bearing age in Dang District Nepal

description: Uterine Prolapse (UP) is a form of genital prolapse among females. The heavy workload, under nutrition, delivery at a young age, lack of spacing between pregnancies and absence of trained birth attendees are expected to contribute to UP. Study is focused to determine the factors related to UP among married women of child bearing age (15-49 yrs) in Dang district of Nepal. Thus, a descriptive cross sectional study design has been adopted and household survey questionnaire is introduced among randomly selected 385 married women of child bearing age of ward number 1 and 2 of Saudiyar Village Development Committee (VDC) of Dang district of Nepal. Similarly, Key Informant Interview (KII) has been done with 6 social workers to collect qualitative information. Study had reported that out of the total 385 respondents; significant majority (97.7%) did not have uterine prolapse where as only 9 (2.3 %) of the women of child bearing age had uterine prolapse. Based in nature of data and due to small number of women suffering from UP, Fisher's Exact test has been done to test the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Significant relationship (p=0.021) has been observed between age of the child bearing women and occurrence of UP. However, there is not any significant relationship between the lifestyle related and access &utilization of health services factors with occurrence of uterine prolapse among the women of child bearing age.

title: Assessment of farmer and non-farmer health effects related to organophosphate pesticides exposure using blood cholinesterase activity as a biomarker in agricultural area at Ongkharak District Nakhon Nayok Province Thailand

description: This study aims to assess health effects caused by organophosphate pesticides exposure among farmers (n=35) and non-farmers (n=35) in Sisa Krabue sub-district, Ongkharak district, Nakhon Nayok province. The research design of this study was a cross-sectional study during pesticide application period from January to March 2013. Questionnaire and Test-mate ChE (Model 400) for blood cholinesterase levels of both blood enzymes erythrocyte cholinesterase (AChE) and plasma cholinesterase (PChE) were used as measurement tools. Participants were consisted of 25 male and 45 female. Average age (±SD) was 42.63 (±10.41) years old. The results showed that AChE levels of farmers was likely lower than non-farmers and PChE levels in the farmer group was significantly lower than those non-farmer group (p&lt;0.001). The association between AChE levels and PChE levels were likely low negative correlation. Years of using pesticides were significantly associated with PChE levels (p&lt;0.05). The farmers were significantly associated with increase eye symptoms, central nervous system (CNS) symptoms, respiratory system symptoms, and glands (p&lt;0.05). The AChE level was significantly associated with CNS symptoms (p&lt;0.05). The PChE level was significantly associated with eye symptoms, CNS symptoms, respiratory system symptoms, and glands symptoms (p&lt;0.05). In conclusion, farmers may be getting higher risk than non-farmers living nearby/around farmer area. It should be suggest that an appropriated self-prevention from pesticides exposure should be recommended to farmers and non-farmers, particularly, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) should be introduced to farmers.

title: Proper length motif discovery for time series data using MDL principle

description: As one of the most essential data mining tasks, finding of frequently occurring patterns, i.e., motif discovery, has drawn a lot of attention in the past decade. Despite successes in speedup of motif discovery, most of the existing algorithms still require predefined parameters. The critical and most cumbersome one is time series motif length since it is difficult to manually determine the proper length of the motifs—even for the domain experts. In addition, with variability in the motif lengths, ranking among these motifs becomes another major problem, not to mention possible redundancy of sub-motifs. Ultimately, running all possible ranges of parameter is computationally expensive. There are some attempts to deal with the parameter issue. However, they cannot truly eliminate parameters. There is a work that is considered the first parameter-free motif discovery, but it is not as efficient due to scalability problem and solution quality. These problems inspired this work to introduce a novel parameter-free time series motif discovery based on MDL (Minimum Description Length) principle. This work requires no parameter as input. The output is ranked classes of motifs or “K-compression Motif,” that are based on MDL principle. The experiments have been designed to correspond to the objectives: parameter-freeness, correctness, and speed. The proposed algorithm manages to discover proper length of motifs with consistently high accuracy. In addition, the proposed algorithm manages to discover “unexpected” motifs of time series. As for speed, the proposed algorithm is a few magnitudes faster than previous work.

title: Applying double clustering technique for intrusion detection in large-scale log

description: In this dissertation, we proposed an applying double clustering technique for intrusion detection in large-scale log. Log files are list of actions, events and activities that happened in the system. These data of log files are humungous and useless. Therefore, log analysis is another way to enhance the security of the system. K-Mean algorithm and Parallel FP-Growth based on Apache Mahout are applied to cluster these log files and discover the frequent patterns to generate the normal profiles respectively. After the normal patterns are generated, the normal records will be removed from the data set. Therefore, the remaining records are the suspect intrusion records. These remaining records are partitioned and analyzed once again. Finally, the characteristics of these suspect intrusion records are generated. These characteristics are new knowledge and useful to enhance the security of the system.

title: Classifying character's action in role-playing game simulation using resilient backpropagation neural network

description: There are many researches using Machine Learning (ML) to create new design contents in computer game. The challenging task is to classify game character’s action using ML because it can be straightforwardly implemented in the game, thereby enhancing character learning about how to deploy strategies under different game situations. This makes the game more exciting. Very Fast Decision Tree (VFDT) can classify character’s actions in computer role-playing game (CRPG) simulation but the accuracy is not much improved when the number of character’s actions is increased. In this research, Resilient Backpropagation (RPROP) can improve such accuracy when the character’s actions increase, so RPROP is implemented to classify character’s action in the CRPG simulation and compared the accuracy with VFDT. The static strategies and the changing strategies are tested in these experiments. The results show that at the high number of training data corresponding to the computer game data, the proposed scheme performs better than the existing method. RPROP can be designed to use in computer game to decrease the complexity of programming script and improve the excitement of the computer game by giving the player more alternatives.

title: Plantwide control structure design of tert-amyl methyl ether (tame) process

description: The design of plantwide control structure for tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME) process using Wongsri’s design procedure is reported. The design procedure consist of 8 steps which emphasis on plantwide level design: establishing material-balanced plant, disturbance management for quality control, fixing process stream inflows. The TAME is used as a fuel oxygenates to increase the octane number in gasoline. It affects to reduce air pollution. TAME is produced by the catalytic etherification of isoamylenes [2-methyl-1-butene (2M1B) and 2-methyl-2-butene (2M2B)] with methanol. The three main reactions is reversible reaction. The process flowsheet consists of a reactor, a reactive distillation column and two pressure-swing azeotopic distillation columns. In addition, there are two reycle streams and two fresh feed streams. The combined feed of fresh and recycled methanol is regulated and is ratioed to isoamylene flow. Each component is handled at their quantifiers. The designed plantwide control structure performance is comparable to the Luyben’s design.

title: Seismic shear demand of a medium-rise building designed by response spectrum analysis

description: According to ASCE7-05, response spectrum analysis (RSA) procedure can be used to determine the seismic demands of the structures for the seismic design of any type of structures. However, this design procedure has been found to be inappropriate for medium-rise and high-rise buildings. This paper is aimed at verifying the RSA procedure prescribed in the current Thai seismic design code which is based on ASCE7-05 and proposing an appropriate improvement to the RSA procedure if needed. A 16-story medium-rise reinforced-concrete core-wall case-study building is first designed based on RSA procedure and then the non-linear response history analysis (NLRHA) is performed to determine the more accurate seismic demands of the structure. The results show that seismic shear demand of the shear wall from non-linear analysis is about 2 times the shear capacity of the wall designed by RSA procedure. This could lead to shear failure in the shear walls designed by RSA procedure. This study used a modified RSA procedure proposed by Priestly and Amaris (2002) to calculate the design shear force in the walls. In this approach, the Reff (Effective response modification factor) more than 1 is used only for the first mode of translational (E-W direction) and torsional modes, and Reff = 1 is used for other higher modes. The results indicate that this new method could help avoid shear failure in the shear walls.

title: Characterization of PmSERPIN3 gene from black tiger shrimp Penaeus monodon

description: Serpin or serine proteinase inhibitor is a family of a proteinase inhibitor that involves in controlling the proteolytic cascade in various biological processes and has been identified in most of organisms. In shrimp, several serpins have been identified so far. In this study, PmSERPIN3 gene was characterized. From the 5\'- and 3\'- Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends (RACE) techniques, the full-length of PmSERPIN3 cDNA is about 1,456 bp containing an open reading frame of 1,233 bp encoding for 410 amino acid residues with 23 amino acid residues signal peptide was obtained. Genome sequence analysis revealed that the PmSERPIN3 was an intronless gene. RT-PCR analysis revealed that it expressed in all shrimp tissues tested. Moreover, the expression of PmSERPIN3 was also found in all developmental stages including nauplius, zoea, mysis and adult. The expression level of PmSERPIN3 gene did not respond to Vibrio harveyi, white spot syndrome virus and yellow head virus challenges. Using the immunofluorescent staining observed under confocal laser scanning microscope, the result revealed that PmSERPIN3 appeared in 3 main types of hemocytes such as hyaline, semigranular, and granular hemocytes and was up-regulated upon V. harveyi infection. The recombinant PmSERPIN3 (rPmSERPIN3) was successfully produced in Escherichia coli. The proteinase inhibitory activity assay revealed that the purified rPmSERPIN3 could inhibit subtilisin. Interestingly, rPmSERPIN3 also inhibited the shrimp prophenoloxidase system activation in vitro. The effect of PmSERPIN3 on bacterial clearance of shrimp after V. harveyi infection was tested. The results revealed that the number of total bacteria and V. harveyi (CFU/ml) after V. harveyi and rPmSERPIN3 injection at 30 min was higher than the control shrimp for 3.5 and 2.9 fold, respectively. However, rPmSERPIN3 could not inhibit the clot formation of shrimp hemolymph. Taken together, it can be implied that PmSERPIN3 functions as an inhibitor of proPO system activation. Its inhibitory activity takes part in the bacterial clearance efficacy of shrimp.
