title: EFFECTS OF CHRISTIAN THEOLOGICAL ENGLISH READING USING CONCEPT-ORIENTED READING INSTRUCTION TO ENHANCE READING COMPREHENSION AND READING MOTIVATION OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

description: The objectives of this study are to investigate the effects of Christian theological English reading using concept-oriented reading instruction to enhance reading comprehension and reading motivation of the undergraduate students. The samples were 29 second year students who studied at the Bangkok Institute of Theology, Christian University, in the first semester, academic year 2014 during 12 weeks. The paired-samples t-test was used to analyze the differences between the students’ mean scores of the Christian theological reading comprehension test and of the reading motivation questionnaire before and after the treatment. The findings shows that (1) the students’ posttest mean scores of Christian theological reading comprehension test are higher than the pretest mean scores at the significance level of p &lt; .05 and (2) the students’ posttest mean scores of reading motivation questionnaire are higher than the pretest mean scores at the significance level of p &lt; .05. Regarding reading motivation constructs, the mean scores increases at significant level of p &lt; .05 in three affirming constructs: intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and prosocial interaction, and the significant decrease at significant level of p &lt; .05 in only one undermining construct: perceived difficulty. Avoidance construct does not decrease significantly after the treatment, whereas antisocial interaction construct does not decrease either, and has low mean scores both before and after the treatment. This could be because the students with strong Christian beliefs are usually not supposed to have antisocial interactions toward other people based on the Christian great commandments. In conclusion, Christian theological English reading using concept-oriented reading instruction can enhance reading comprehension and reading motivation of undergraduate students.

title: A MODEL OF RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN BELIEFS ABOUT LANGUAGE LEARNING, LANGUAGE LEARNING STRATEGIES, PROFICIENCY, GENDER, AND EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT OF THAI UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

description: The present study aimed to 1) investigate beliefs about language learning, language learning strategies, proficiency, gender, and educational context of Thai upper secondary school students and 2) propose the model of relationships between the five variables. The participants were 458 twelfth grade students in Bangkok, academic year 2013. The data were collected by means of a questionnaire. The data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the model of relationships. Findings revealed that Thai upper secondary school students hold beliefs about language learning in terms of the special ability for language learning in some individuals. They viewed English as moderately difficult and emphasized the cultures of the English-speakers, vocabulary learning, and good accent. They also believed that having good speaking skills leads to better job opportunities. The use of language learning strategies was at the moderate level. In this study, most of the participants had high proficiency. There were more female than male students. And the two educational contexts in focus were regular programs using Thai as a medium of instruction and English programs using English. The structural equation model revealed the statistically significant direct effect of educational context on beliefs about language learning and the direct effect of beliefs about language learning on proficiency. The following goodness of fit was achieved: CMIN/DF = 1.42, p = .012, CFI = .983, RMSEA = .031, GFI = .972, AGFI = .957, and Hoelter = 417.

title: EFFECTS OF TASK-BASED INSTRUCTION AND NOTICING THE GAP ON ENGLISH SPEAKING ABILITY OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

description: The objectives of the study were to: (1) investigate the effects of task-based instruction and noticing the gap on students’ English speaking ability; and (2) explore students’ opinions toward the use of task-based instruction and noticing the gap on English speaking ability. The participants were 18 first-year students in the first semester of the academic year 2014 at Bangkok Institute of Theology, Christian University of Thailand for the quantitative method; and 6 out of the 18 students for the qualitative method. The data collection instruments were English speaking pre-test and post-test, transcriptions, stimulated recall, and interview questions. Wilcoxon signed ranks test was used for quantitative data analysis, and content analysis was used for qualitative data analysis. The results revealed that (1) the students’ English speaking ability post-test scores were higher than the pre-test scores at a significant level (p&lt;0.05). The scores increased in the task that required short utterances more than those that required long utterances. The students noticed grammatical range and accuracy the most, then fluency and coherence, pronunciation, and lexical resource respectively. (2) The students felt positive toward the instruction e.g. they experienced a new way of learning and became confident in speaking English. However, some problems occurred regarding the students e.g. some of them could not correctly form the intended messages and lacked confidence to notice the gap alone.

title: DETECTION OF HPV 16 E6 AND HPV 16 L1 PROTEINS BY LATERAL FLOW ASSAY

description: Cervical cancer, the fourth leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide, is associated with the persistence of Human Papillomarus (HPV) infection especially type 16 which covered more than 50% of the cases. In this study, HPV DNA was detected in 185 (71.71%) of 258 cervical swab samples with CIN I (66.18%), CIN II (69.57%), CIN III (81.25%) and SCC, (79.10%). The prevalence of HPV 16 among HPV DNA positive samples was 28.11% (52/185) and the highest prevalence was found in SCC 49.06% (26/53). Nowadays, the screening methods for cervical cancer are based on cytology and HPV detection which are time consuming, require pathologist and special equipments. During cancer development, high expression of E6 oncoprotein is demonstrated while the presence of L1 protein implies the productive stage. Thus detection of HPV 16 E6 might be helpful for early detection of cancer development and that of L1 protein helps in determining the stage of viral infection. Since the lateral flow assay is simple, rapid, cost-effective and no instrument requirement, in this study, a lateral flow assay based on sandwich immunochromatography combining gold nanoparticle-antibody conjugates was developed to detect HPV 16 E6 and L1 proteins. Recombinant HPV 16 E6 and L1 proteins were expressed and used as positive controls in the lateral flow assay. The lateral flow assay for detecting HPV 16 L1 was unsuccessfully developed because of the presence of urea. The developed HPV 16 E6 protein test has been only established. The antibody conjugated with AuNPs (1-10 µg/ml gold), sizes of AuNPs (10 and 40 nm), type of antibodies (polyclonal and monoclonal), and blocking solution (3% PEG and 10% BSA) were optimized. Finally, the mouse monoclonal anti-HPV 16 E6 conjugated AuNPs at the concentration of 10 µg/ml gold, rabbit polyclonal anti- HPV 16 E6 at the captured test line and goat polyclonal anti-mouse at the control line demonstrated the optimal condition providing the signal within 15 min observed by naked eyes. The 40-nm AuNPs gave better sensitivity of detection (5 µg) than the 10-nm AuNPs (20 µg). No cross reactions were found with HPV18, 39, and 45. Although, this developed assay showed very low sensitivity and was unable to test with clinical specimens, the challenge to improve the sensitivity should be further attempted.

title: Lower Cook Inlet Salmon Escapement Database, 1927–2018

description: This database contains salmon escapement data collected primarily by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Commercial Fisheries (ADF&amp;amp;amp;G-CF), in the Lower Cook Inlet (LCI) management area in southcentral Alaska. To facilitate informed inseason management of commercial fisheries targeting Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp., ADF&amp;amp;amp;G-CF uses a variety of methods to monitor escapement on select index streams in LCI (e.g., aerial/ground survey, weir, remote video). Aerial and ground surveyors make periodic counts of sockeye O. nerka, chum O. keta, and pink O. gorbuscha salmon throughout the duration of their respective runs, whereas weir and remote video projects document daily fish passage. Fishery managers use these data daily to manipulate time and area fishery openings/closures to assure that the final escapement level for monitored stocks falls within their individual escapement goal ranges. At the end of the season, periodic aerial and ground survey counts are used to calculate a final escapement index for each stream based on the area-under-the-curve method (AUC; pink and chum salmon) or the peak survey count (sockeye salmon). This LCI salmon escapement database spans the period 1927–2018, which includes data collected by federal fisheries personnel prior to Alaska statehood (1959). The database is comprised of 6 related tables and 1 stand-alone table. Four of the related tables are lookup tables defining primary key fields that are linked to the main data tables. The 2 linked main data tables (1_Escapement Header and 2_Escapement Data) respectively contain relevant details for each survey/escapement monitoring project conducted (e.g., survey ID, date, survey type, survey conditions, etc.) and the fine scale results for each survey ID (e.g., live/dead count by species, stream, stream section, etc.). The escapement data table includes XY coordinates for counts (typically stratified by stream section) so the data can be viewed/analyzed spatially. Finally, because it may be difficult for users of this database to convert individual survey counts into final escapement indices, this database also includes a stand-alone table (3_Reported Escapement) that provides final escapements by stock, species, and year, as well as associated information such as the method used to derive the escapement. This dataset record includes the Microsoft Access database, in addition to plain text exports of each of the tables within that database.

title: DESIGN AND SIMULATION OF COMBINED BIODIESEL PRODUCTION, GLYCEROL REFROMING AND GREEN DIESEL PRODUCTION

description: Biodiesel, an alternative renewable and biodegradable fuel, has been attractive to substitute petroleum diesel, the large amounts of glycerol as a byproduct will be a problem because of the limitation of glycerol applications. Recently, hydrogen production using glycerol as a main reactant has been attractive, because it can use for several processes. For biodiesel production, oil with high free fatty acids (FFAs) content is unsuitable feedstock due to this make the biodiesel process more complicated and using more equipment than virgin oil. In contrast, if FFAs is utilized in hydrotreating process with low amount of hydrogen as one of reactant. Moreover, a novel process by combination of three alternative fuels involving three processes of biodiesel production, hydrogen production via glycerol reforming and hydrotreating of free fatty acid might show the beneficially overall process and produces a variously alternative fuel. This research studied the simulation of combination process for production of biodiesel, hydrogen and green diesel using soybean oil and stearic acid as raw materials. Firstly, the individual process including of biodiesel production, glycerol steam reforming, and green diesel production was investigated to choose the suitable process for combination as base case. After that, this base case was improved by: (1) glycerol purification column can be neglected from the process. This is leading to produce more hydrogen and green diesel than that of the base case because of methanol reforming; (2) hot unconverted oil was recycle to mix with fresh oil which it can reduce the total energy consumption from 14.02 to 13.85 MW. Moreover, high purity of condensed water can be directly used as the steam. (3) furnace combustor was installed to produce heat from fuel gas which this gas produces large amount of energy and return to the process. Pinch analysis showed that the proposed process offers energy saving of 47.24% comparing to the base case. Furthermore, the proposed process can also decrease the total energy consumption to 31.41% comparing to the conventional biodiesel production, glycerol steam reforming and hydrotreating at the same operating condition. It was found that the main energy consumption from the proposed process was obtained from the FAMEs purification and methanol recovery columns. This proposed process showed the efficiency for producing three alternative energy for humanity.

title: THE EFFECT OF K AND Ce PROMOTERS ON THE PROPERTIES OF Ni/gamma-Al2O3 CATALYSTS IN THE HYDROGENATION OF CO2

description: The effect of promoters (Ce, K, La, Mg, and Mn) on the catalytic properties of Ni/Al2O3 catalysts prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method (imp) were investigated in carbon dioxide hydrogenation at 500 ºC and 1 atm. All the promoted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts exhibited in higher CO2 conversion than the non-promoted ones, which may be attributed to their higher reducibility and higher number of active Ni species. All the Ni-based catalysts showed CH4 selectivity nearly 100%. The effect of preparation method was further investigated on K and Ce promoted Ni/Al2O3 catalysts by comparing the solid-state reaction method (ss) with and without dry ball milling and the imp method. The imp_Ni-K/Al2O3 was found to be the most efficient catalyst giving the highest CO2 conversion at 82.03%. According to the CO chemisorption results, the amounts of nickel active sites of the non-promoted ss_Ni/Al2O3 catalysts were lower than the ones prepared by impregnation but when dry ball milling was applied in the preparation of Ni/Al2O3 catalysts by ss method, the CO2 conversion increased. The main differences in the characteristics of the catalysts prepared by solid-state reaction and impregnation were probably the Ni particle sizes and the location of Ni particles on the support. The XPS results suggest that nickel oxide particles were deposited on the external surface of the alumina supports when prepared by the ss method. The best performance among the ss catalysts was obtained over the bm_Ni-Ce/Al2O3 with CO2 conversion as 81.16%, which were comparable to the imp_­­Ni-K/Al2O3. The catalysts performances were correlated well with high Ni %dispersion and the amount of Ni active sites.

title: ALUMINA CORROSION IN DEIONIZED WATER

description: The corrosion behavior of alumina (Al2O3) layer after exposed to deionized water (DI) is studied. This work focuses on the amorphous alumina which is formed via sputtering process, the process that can be found in many microelectronic industries. The corrosion test was conducted by immersing the alumina coated coupon in DI water at different temperature (from 25-80°C) and various period of time. The formation of the corrosion in terms of defect formed on the surface of the coupon is monitored by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). From the result, it showed that the defect begins appearing at 50°C, and tends to become severe when the temperature and the immersion time were increasing. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated that the main functional group of O-H is found after the defect was formed on the surface. Therefore, it is pointed out that such defect is a result from hydrolysis reaction between amorphous alumina and water. The effect of other factors such as pH of water, ions in water, the amount of oxygen dissolved in water and the electron transfer are also investigated and reported. The obtained results are not only aimed to describe this phenomenon or lead to the prevention of this problem but also important as fundamental understanding about the corrosion behavior in basic solution. This knowledge can be used for further improvement and application in microelectronic industries.

title: Effect of solvent on interface of TiO2-PVP/PAN flexible nanofibers

description: Flexible TiO2-PVP/PAN photocatalyst in form of core/sheath nanofibers were fabricated from combining sol-gel method and coaxial electrospinning technique. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was selected as core polymer, while polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was selected as polymer for sheath solution to occur sol-gel process of titania. There are two solvents that commonly used in sol-gel process of titania, which are DMF and ethanol. PAN has limited solubility, therefore, the effect of solvent that occur at core/sheath interface is greatly affected properties of the final products. This research would mainly focus on investigating the effect of solvent at core/sheath interface in flexible nanofibers. The various conditions such as polymer concentration (PVP), titania-precusor (TTIP) amount, aging time of titania-precusor solution and electrical potential used in electrospinning process were investigated their effects. The resultant fibers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive x-ray (SEM-EDX), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The result shows that there is no core/sheath interface when using DMF as solvent in sheath solution and the components from sheath section diffused into core section. After changing the solvent to ethanol, ethanol interact with PAN at core/sheath interface and this prevent fusion of sheath section into core section.
