title: Hydrogen production and nitrate uptake in cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

description: The effects of external factors on both H2 production and bidirectional Hox Hoxhydrogenase activity were examined in the non-N2 fixing cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803. Exogenous glucose and increased osmolality both enhanced H2 production with optimal production observed at 0.4% and 20 mosmol kg-1, respectively. Anaerobic condition for 24 h induced significant higher H2ase activity with cells in BG110 showing highest activities. Increasing the pH resulted in an increased Hox-hydrogenase activity with an optimum at pH 7.5. The Hoxhydrogenase activity gradually increased with increasing temperature from 30℃ to 60℃ with the highest activity observed at 70℃. A low concentration at 100 μM of either DTT or β-mercaptoethanol resulted in a minor stimulation of H2 production. β- mercaptoethanol added to nitrogen and sulfur deprived cells stimulated H2 production significantly. The highest Hox-hydrogenase activity was observed in cells in BG110-Sdeprived condition and 750 μM β-mercaptoethanol measured at a temperature of 70ºC; 14.32 μmol H2 mg chl a-1 min-1. The nitrate assimilation mutant strains ΔnarB, ΔnirA and double mutant, Δnar:ΔBnirA gave higher H2 production than the wild type when cells were adapted in normal BG11 for 24 h. Nitrate uptake in response to osmotic upshifts in the non-diazotrophic cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 was studied. A small increase of osmolality by 30 and 40 mosmol kg-1 sorbitol and NaCl resulted in about 3.5- and 4.5- fold increase of nitrate uptake, respectively. At 25 mosmol kg-1 or higher, NaCl exhibited higher nitrate uptake than sorbitol suggesting a stimulatory effect of Na+ on the uptake activity. External 20 mM NaCl stimulated nitrate uptake with Ks and Vmax values of 79 μM and 2.45 μmol min-1 mg Chl-1, respectively which were about 2-fold higher than those without NaCl. Ammonium and DL-glyceraldehyde, an inhibitor of CO2 fixation, caused a reduction of nitrate uptake. Cells pre-incubated in darkness showed drastic reduction of uptake activity by 70% suggesting energy-dependent nitrate uptake systems in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. Nitrate transport was sensitive to various metabolic inhibitors including those dissipating proton gradients and membrane potential. Altogether, the results suggest that nitrate uptake in Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is dependent on and stimulated by Na+ ions and that the uptake requires energy provided by electrochemical potentials generated by electron transport.

title: Factors related to health-related quality of life among adult Myanmar migrant workers at Chiang Rai Regional Hospital and Pirom Clinic in Muang district, Chiang Rai province, Thailand : a cross-sectional study

description: A cross sectional study, conducted among 401 adult Myanmar migrants between the ages of 18 and 59 years old selected through purposive sampling, was undertaken at Chiang Rai Regional Hospital and Pirom Clinic, located in Muang District, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand beginning from February 8th-20th, 2010. The objectives of this study were: (1) To describe the socio-demographic characteristics, work history, accessibility to health care, and perception related to the Health Belief Model among adult Myanmar migrant workers and (2) To assess the health- related quality of life of adult Myanmar migrant workers. Participants were interviewed through face-to-face interviews guided by a questionnaire comprised of questions regarding socio-demography, work history, accessibility to health care in conjunction with the Health Perceptions Questionnaire (HPQ) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Survey (WHOQOL-BREF). Frequency, percentage, and standard deviation were utilized for the analysis of the descriptive statistics, whereas the chisquared test was employed to examine the association between the independent variables and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Respondents consisted mostly of Myanmar women between the ages of 18 and 29 years old, most of who had never received any formal education and were unable to read Thai or Burmese. In addition to having worked in Thailand from between one year and one and a half years, working primarily in industries such as domestic services or food services, they earn between 2,000 and 3,999 baht per month. Most participants travel anywhere between two to three kilometers to reach their preferred health care facility and encountered a wait time of more than thirty minutes. The majority claimed that there was an inadequate amount of translators and forms in different languages. The results demonstrate that more than half of the participants (56.0%) demonstrated a moderate level quality of life, followed by high (43.8%) and low (0.2%). The data revealed that the factor that appeared to be the most associated with a higher quality of life level was individual perception related to the Health Belief Model, most notably within domains of current health, susceptibility and resistance to illness, future health, and worry and concern regarding health. Hospitals and clinics should provide an adequate number of forms in other dialects and translators in order to facilitate care given to migrant patients. In addition, wait time should be decreased in order to increase the number of patients seen per day with the objective of improving health-related quality of life for migrants.

title: Qualification and quantification of dissolved organic matters in brewery wastewaters and their treated wastewaters

description: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in wastewater from three breweries in Thailand, namely Sites 1, 2 and 3, was qualified and quantified through DOM surrogates, fluorescent excitation-emission matrix (FEEM), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (pyrolysis GC/MS), stepwise along the treatment train which typically comprises a series of biological processes, i.e. upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) followed by activated sludge (AS). To evaluation DOM characteristics in greater detail, DOM in all samples was isolated into six DOM fractions viz. hydrophobic neutral (HPON), hydrophobic base (HPOB), hydrophobic acid (HPOA), hydrophilic base (HPIB), hydrophilic acid (HPIA) and hydrophilic neutral (HPIN) using a series of DAX-8, AG-MP-50, and WA-10 resins prior to further analyses. The results revealed that major organic fractions in brewery wastewater were HPOA and HPIB which were also found to be the main trihalomethane (THM) precursors for all three studied breweries. The major DOM components in brewery wastewater from three sites (both light and lager beers) were groups of tryptophan-like substances and fulvic and humic-like substances. The reduction of DOM was mainly found to occur during the UASB treatment which was attributed to the removal of these two major DOM fractions. This resulted in a direct reduction in trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP). In other words, the reduction in THMFP was mainly due to the disappearance of tryptophan-like substances and partially occurred from decreases of degraded fulvic and humic-like substances of the two main THM precursors. The effectiveness of the UASB and AS treatments on the reductions in DOC, UV254, and THMFP were comparable, i.e. 65, 87, 79 for DOC; 65, 88, 70, for UV254, and 71, 90, and 78% for THMFP were observed for Sites 1, 2 and 3, respectively. However, the existing THMFP of the final effluent from all three breweries was still high when compared to THMFP in the water supply facilities. Among all organic fractions, HPOA, particularly fulvic and humic-like substances, was of particular concern for water reclamation process of treated brewery wastewater, since it was still relatively predominated in residual DOM in the effluents and it was considered likely to be refractory in biological treatments. In addition, FEEM analytical results were consistent with the results from conventional DOM analyses such as DOC and UV254¬ with certain level of confidence, where FEEM was reduced by 55, 86, and 64% for Sites 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Hence, FEEM could be potentially employed as a simple monitoring technique for DOM in brewery wastewater.

title: Effects of miscut substates on surface morphology of thin film simulated by DAS sarma-tamborenea model

description: The Das Sarma-Tamborenea (DT) model is a model used to study molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) thin film growth process. In MBE simulations, atomic diffusion follows Arrhenius hopping probability which depends on number of nearest-neighbor bonds and substrate temperature. The DT model simplifies this and uses only bond counting in the diffusion process. Substrate temperature can be varied via the change in the diffusion length. In the thesis, the DT model with long surface diffusion length is used to study thin film growth on miscut substrates. It is found that the change in the diffusion length is not clearly seen in the simulated film, which disagrees with experimental results. We modified the diffusion rule of the DT model by increasing the mobility of atoms and results from the modified DT model agree with experiments. First, using the modified DT model to study effects of surface diffusion length (L [subscript d]) on the miscut substrate as the terrace width (L [subscript t]) and the step height (s) is fixed, we found that the film can maintain the initial tilt angle for a long time when iota [subscript d]is more than or equal to L [subscript t]). Seconds, the effects of the initial configuration of miscut substrate is studied. The first case, the terrace width is varied and step height is fixed at 1 sites, we found that the initial pattern can survive for a long period of time when L [subscript 1] is less than or equal to iota [subscript d] In the second case, the step height is varied and the terrace width is fixed at L [subscript t] = iota [subscript d], we found that s &gt; 1 induces roughness on the film surface confirmed by the rapidly decreasing persistence probability.

title: Theoretical analysis of sold oxide fuel cell with internal methane reforming

description: To present a performance analysis of a planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) fed by methane with direct internal reforming under an intermediate temperature operation. The electrolyte material used in SOFC was focused on an oxygen ion-conducting (SOFC-O2-) and a proton-conducting electrolyte (SOFC-H+). A detailed electrochemical model that takes into account all voltage losses (i.e., ohmic, activation and concentration losses) used in this study was validated with experimental data reported in literature. The characteristic performance of SOFC was analyzed by considering the role of support structure and the effect of design parameters. The simulation results showed that an anode-supported design of both the SOFCs gives the best performance. Further, it was found that decreasing electrolyte thickness and increasing electrode pore size and porosity can improve the performance of SOFC-O2- and SOFC-H+. A decrease in cathode thickness has less effect on the performance of SOFC-O2- whereas a decrease in anode thickness is less sensitive to the performance of SOFC-H+. The performance of the anode supported SOFC-O2- and SOFC-H+ under the direct internal reforming operation of methane and isothermal condition was analyzed based on a one-dimensional steady-state fuel cell model coupled with a detailed electrochemical model taking into account all various voltage losses. It was found that increases in operating temperature, pressure and steam to carbon ratio can enhance the efficiency of both the SOFCs. Under the operating temperature of 1073 K and pressure of 1 atm, the performance of SOFC-H+ was considerably lower than SOFC-O2- because a low protonic conductivity of electrolyte leads to much higher ohmic loss in the SOFC-H+. In case of SOFC-H+, the effect of water content in oxidant was considered and found that the SOFC-H+ performance decreases with an increase in water content in oxidant. Further, high CO content at a fuel channel was observed and this may hinder the SOFC-H+ performance by reducing catalyst activity. To avoid the problems associated with low actual performance and the presence of high CO content at the fuel channel of SOFC-H+, a SOFC combined system consisting of SOFC-O2- and SOFC-H+ was proposed in this research. The performance of the SOFC system was primarily evaluated by using the SOFC model based on the conservation of mass and a detailed electrochemical model. The results showed that the performance of the SOFC-O2- -SOFC-H+ combined system provides a higher efficiency compared with the use of a single SOFC. Further, it was indicated that increasing the operating temperature, pressure, degree of pre-reforming as well as decreasing the inlet fuel velocity and cell voltage can improve the efficiency of the SOFC system.

title: Use of multiplex PCR to predict nodulation of rhizobia isolated from root nodules of soybeans grown in Bang Rakam district soils, Phitsanulok province

description: Soybean rhizobia are motile, non-spore-forming, Gram negative bacteria. When in soybean root nodules, these rhizobia change atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia for soybeans’ use for growth. Traditionally, nodulation property of soybean rhizobia is determined by inoculating each soybean rhizobium strain in Leonard jars containing germinating soybean seeds. Soybeans are grown for 28 days before observing numbers of crown and total number of nodules. This method is labor-intensive and time-consuming. The aims of this research are to find optimal conditions for multiplex PCR reaction for use in the prediction of nodulation efficiency of 33 slow-growing soybean rhizobium strains isolated from Bang Rakam district, Phitsanulok province. In addition, identification of 5 slow-growing soybean rhizobia by polyphasic taxonomy will be carried out in this research. The results obtained indicated that the optimized conditions for the multiplex PCR reaction were 200 ng target DNA and concentrations of primer nodD1F, nodD1R, nodYF, and nodYR were 8.0, 12.5, 12.5 and 8.0 pmoles respectively. Separation of the multiplex PCR products by agarose gel electrophoresis showed two multiplex PCR patterns. Pattern 1 consisted of DNA fragments of 317 bp and 657 bp while pattern 2 consisted of DNA fragments of 340 bp and 657 bp. No correlation was found between multiplex PCR patterns and nodulation efficiency in terms of the average numbers of crown and total nodules. Identification of 5 randomly selected slow-growing soybean rhizobia showed strains D361, D373, and D388 were Bradyrhizobium japonicum while strains D416 and D467 were B. liaoningense.

title: Effect of soy protein isolate supplementation on insulin resistance, fasting blood glucose and lipid profile in type 2 diabetic outpatients at public health center 66, health department, Bangkok metropolitan administration

description: This quasi-experimental study was conducted to determine the effects of soy protein isolate (SPI) supplementation on insulin resistance, fasting glucose and lipid profile in type 2 diabetic outpatients at Public Health Center 66. The duration of the study was 10 weeks with 2 periods: a 4-week dietary counseling period and a 6-week supplementation period. Thirty-eight subjects participated in this study and were randomly assigned into SPI group (supplemented with 30 g/day of SPI containing 32 mg of isoflavones) and control group (no SPI supplementation). Fasting blood biochemistry, body weight, height, and anthropometry were examined before and after the SPI supplementation period. The results showed that there was no significant difference in fasting plasma glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and insulin resistance (assessed by the HOMA-IR model) between SPI and control group. Fasting plasma glucose in control group was significantly increased (p=0.03), whereas HbA1c level in SPI group was significantly decreased (p=0.01) from baseline. The reduction of HOMA-IR was larger in the SPI group than that in the control group. No significant differences were found between groups for serum lipid profile. The concentration of TC, LDL-C, and TG were decreased greater in SPI group than those in control group. TC was significantly decreased from baseline in the subjects of the SPI group with baseline TC higher than 5.18 mmol/l (200 mg/dl) (p=0.04). There were no significant differences in weight, BMI and anthropometric data after SPI supplementation between groups and within group. This study indicated that SPI with isoflavones supplementation improves glucose control, insulin resistance and lipid profile in type 2 diabetes.
