title: Study the Best Support for Hydrolysis of Tiger Grass

description: Bioethanol, one of the outstanding biofuels, is not only a renewable bio-based resource, but also interesting to research for improving better properties of the enzyme needed in the hydrolysis process. The purpose of this work is to study how to reuse the enzyme used in the hydrolysis step for bioethanol production by immobilizing Trichoderma reesei (T.reesei) on various silica supports, namely, SBA-15, TUD-1, and MCM-48. The amount of the adsorbed enzymes was determined by UV-visible spectrophotometry. Among those studied supports, SBA-15 showed 100% enzymatic adsorption on the support owing to its larger pore diameter of 6.14 nm, which is large enough to accommodate T.reesei enzyme molecules inside the pore channel. Various parameters, viz. temperature, pH, time, and amount of the support for optimizing the immobilized enzyme were investigated. The immobilized T.reesei on SBA-15 support was characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption. The amount of monomeric sugar after the hydrolysis process was measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

title: Mechanism and performance of solid non-particulate soil (waxy solid) removal from fabrics

description: Methyl palmitate or palmictic acid methyl ester was used as both a model solid fat and an oily soil was removed from cotton and polyester above and below the melting point. Surfactants studied were extended surfactants (C12,13-4PO-SO4Na , C12,14-10PO-2EO-SO4Na and C12,14-16PO-2EO-SO4Na), alcohol ethoxylate (EO9), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), methyl ester sulfonate (MES), methyl ester ethoxylate (MEE), and mixed surfactants between extended surfactant (C12,13-4PO-SO4Na) and sodium mono- and dimethyl naphthalene sulfonate (SMDNS). Above the melting point (~30 ºC) of methyl palmitate, the maximum oily soil removal was found to correlate well with the lowest dynamic interfacial tension (IFT) with increasing washing temperature and salinity. Therefore, roll-up of liquid soil is an important mechanism. Below the melting point, the detergency efficiency was high corresponding to the low contact angles (indicating high wettability) of the wash solution on the methyl palmitate surface for all studied surfactants. The solidified methyl palmitate was dislodged from fabric surface and dispersed in the wash solution as small solid particles by surfactant penetration resulting from wetting the surface rather than solubilization. Therefore, surfactant and salinity improves wetting, dispersion stability, and decreases detached particle size. Unlike particulate soil, electrostatics is not the primary driving force for solid non-particulate soil detergency.

title: Effects of bead size and concentration of unstable asphaltenes obtained from different centrifugation techniques on asphaltene deposition in packed bed apparatus

description: Asphaltenes are the heaviest and most polar fraction of petroleum crude oil. They are the collection of components that can be soluble in aromatics solvents such as benzene or toluene, but insoluble in normal alkanes, n-pentane, n-hexane, or n- heptane. Asphaltenes are a class of molecules consisted of grouped aromatic rings with alkane chains. Changing pressure, temperature, composition, and shear rate during transportation can cause precipitation and deposition, resulting in reduced reservoir productivity due to restricted flow lines, fouling and blockages in the pore spaces of the reservoir. The goal of this investigation is to assess validity of two aspects of the packed bed asphaltene deposition methodology and model. The first aspect is on the validity of diffusion coefficient used in the deposition model with respect to bead size in packed bed; the second aspect is on the relationship between the concentration of unstable asphaltenes, the method to measure this concentration, and the deposition rate. In the first part, it was observed that the deposition rate increases as the bead size decreases, as is predicted by the diffusion-limited deposition model used. In the second part, results indicate that concentration of unstable asphaltenes based on long time centrifugation of fresh oil-heptane mixture is the appropriate scalin g for asphaltene deposition rate, instead of aged oil-heptane mixtures.

title: Methane Adsorption by Carbon Molecular Sieve Derived from Polycarbonate and Polyaniline

description: The adsorptions of methane by carbon molecular sieves (CMS) were investigated at 35°C and 45°C by volumetric apparatus with the pressure range from 0 to 800 psia. CMS was prepared from polymer precursors such as polycarbonate (PC) and polyaniline (PANI) by carbonization under nitrogen inert atmosphere and activation by CO2 at temperature 700, 800 and 900°C. The yield of CMS is decreased with increasing carbonization and activation temperature. The methane adsorption capacity at 35°C of CMS derived from PC is 2.82 mmol CH4/g. The methane adsorption of the samples from PC is higher than those obtained from PANI for the same carbonization and activation. It is interesting to note that the CMS derived from 700 °C carbonization and activation of PC is higher than the samples obtained from 800 and 900°C carbonization and activation. As expected, methane adsorption at 35°C is higher than that at 45°C for all samples. BET surface area and pore analysis was used to characterize the physical properties and relate to the adsorption capacity.

title: Improvement of life cycle assessment software and its applications

description: LCSoft is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software which developed for perform LCA together with process design. It is a stand-alone tool with ability to be integrated with other process design tools such as process simulation software (PROII/ASPEN), economic analysis tool (ECON), and sustainable process design tool (SustainPro). In addition, several optional interpretation features are available such as, sensitivity analysis, alternative comparison, and eco-efficiency evaluation. In this research, LCSoft had been improved in performance and application range. The development framework consisted of four tasks. The first task deals with improvement of LCI and LCIA calculation which new pathway for calculation and allocation had been added. The second task deals with new features development which including normalization, parameter sensitivity analysis, data quality indicator, and endpoint impact categories. The third task deals with extension of LCI data in order to cover all of impact categories calculation. The fourth task deals with validation of LCSoft software. The integrated software was validated and verified by comparing assessment results for bioethanol production from cassava rhizome process and for Para-xylene production by Toluene Methylation as case studies and compared with other commercial LCA software. The results indicated that the new feature of LCSoft provided reliable calculations very efficiently, and were especially useful for chemical and biochemical sustainable process design studies.

title: Socioeconomic inequality in relation to oral health among Thai population : a secondary data analysis

description: Since major oral health problems include dental caries, periodontal disease and tooth loss. Studies from many countries reports inequality in oral health which has become challenging worldwide. People with lower socioeconomic position prone to have more severe condition in oral health more than those with higher position. However, there are few studies on socioeconomic inequality in oral health in developing countries, including Thailand. This study aimed to determine the relationship of socioeconomic difference in oral health outcome and oral health behavior among Thai adult population. This study is a cross-sectional analytical study using secondary data from the 7th Thailand National Oral Health Survey (2012). Oral health outcomes are indicated by the number of dental caries, tooth loss, and the CPI index. Socioeconomic status(SES) was indicated by income, education and occupational groups. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine relationship between variables and oral health outcomes. Personal background, access to dental service and oral health-related behaviors were adjusted for analysis. Results show that SES relates to oral health which indicates socioeconomic inequality in oral health for Thai population. Education is the most obvious factors that shows significance among socioeconomic variables comparing to income and occupational groups. People with higher education show better oral health status. Personal background, oral health-related behaviorห and access to dental service also relate to oral health outcomes.

title: Risk of post-traumatic stress disorder and changing of cardiovascular biomarkers among Bangkok firefighters

description: Urban fireﬁghters are at risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because of their occupational exposure to trauma event. PTSD has been recognized as public health problem because it links to many health consequences including cardiovascular disease. This study was conducted in 2 phases. The first phase; a cross-sectional study, was aimed to determine a prevalence of risk of PTSD among all Bangkok firefighters and to access its associated factors. The second phase; a longitudinal study, aimed to access an association between risk of PTSD and changes of cardiovascular biomarker (Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP), Troponin T (TnT), and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)) after 6-months follow-up. In the first phase of the study, all Bangkok firefighters were recruited for self-reported questionnaire. 302 of 1215 firefighters (24.90%) were met the suggested PCL cut-point criteria for civilian (PCL Scores ≥ 30). Health problems, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, sleep quality, duration of work, and past exposure to major fire in Thailand were associated with risk of PTSD (p-value&lt;0.05). In phase 2, all firefighters from 2 purposively selected firefighter stations were recruited to participate. Blood check-up was performed in August, 2017 and February, 2018. 19 risk of PTSD and 35 non-risk of PTSD firefighters were participated. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors reflected for long-term memory, was investigated as a biomarker of PTSD. At baseline of study, the results showed a significant different BDNF concentration between risk of PTSD and non-risk of PTSD firefighters. Two cardiovascular biomarkers (hs-CRP and BNP) were associated with PTSD. After 6 month follow-up, 27.8% of firefighters were loss to follow-up and 14 of them were excluded because of blood samples. 12 risk of PTSD and 13 non-risk of PTSD firefighters were completed follow-up. General characteristic of remained firefighters was not different from baseline (p-value&gt;0.05). The results showed that only BNP was associated with risk of PTSD (adjusted OR=31.22). In conclusion, firefighter at risk of PTSD was increased risk of cardiovascular biomarker change. Further intervention and policy related to coping mental health among firefighter should be introduced for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

title: Reclaiming stolen voices : an indigenous, region-based reading of Leslie Marmon Silko’s ceremony, Patricia Grace’s Potiki and Kiana davenport’s shark dialogues

description: This thesis aims to examine how contemporary indigenous writers reclaim their self-definition through the born-within, region-based perspectives in three novels: Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony (1977), Patricia Grace’ Potiki (1986), and Kiana Davenport’s Shark Dialogues (1998). It propounds that the three novels employ indigenous myths, knowledge, and epistemologies to present their modern indigenous culture, history and identity as distinct from mainstream Western stereotypical perceptions. These writers also suggest the necessity for hybridization of traditional culture in order for indigenous cultures to survive when it comes into contact with the global community. The three selected literary texts present integral roles of nature in the formation of indigenous cultural identity and the destruction of the natural environment is therefore a threat to the survival of indigeneity. My analysis of Ceremony suggests that the protagonist, a World War II veteran, recovers from his wartime trauma and identity crisis after he restores his connection with the natural world through the traditions of ceremonies and storytelling. The author applies the structure of Native American ceremony and storytelling in order to reshape readers’ worldview. In Potiki, this thesis argues that Maori cosmological concepts of time and creation govern the indigenous way of life and their relationship within the community and with the land. These notions help the Maori cope with their losses and create their contemporary Maori identity. It is also contended that the novel is constructed in much the same manner as the Maori ancestral house in order to establish the relationship between the characters as hosts and readers as guests. Finally, the reading of Shark Dialogues argues that Hawaiian-ness is not indicated by ethnicity, but contributed by shared suffering, the spirit of defiance, and love of the land. It also postulates that only through their understanding of their family history are the characters healed from personal conflicts and historical trauma.

title: Trends and factors associated with breastfeeding in Thailand : a secondary analysis of the multiple indicator cluster survey 2005-2016

description: This cross-sectional study was based on secondary data of Thailand Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS round 3, 4 and 5) between 2005 and 2016 and aimed to identify trends and factors associated with breastfeeding in Thailand. Subjects were selected from the three MICS surveys and then pooled together to form final weighted samples of 9757 children under 2 years for studying early initiation of breastfeeding and 2568 children under 6 months for exclusive breastfeeding. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to identify trends and factors. Results indicated that the overall breastfeeding rates were low in spite of an overall slight increase in early initiation of breastfeeding from 27.4% in 2005-2006 to 36.7% in 2015-2016 and a significant rise in exclusive breastfeeding from 6.3% to 27.1% during the decade in Thailand. Factors positively associated with early initiation of breastfeeding (p &lt; 0.05) were north (adjusted OR = 1.530) and south regions (adjusted OR = 1.857), age of child (adjusted OR = 1.008), children ever born (adjusted OR = 1.175), average size of child at birth (adjusted OR = 1.180), and weight of child at birth (adjusted OR = 1.217), while negatively associated factors consisted of age of mother (adjusted OR = 0.973), fourth wealth index quintile (adjusted OR = 0.855), primary (adjusted OR = 0.568), secondary (adjusted OR = 0.706) and higher (adjusted OR = 0.504) education levels of mother, delivered in non-public medical sector (adjusted OR = 0.550), times of received antenatal care (adjusted OR = 0.984), and caesarean section (adjusted OR = 0.448). By contrast, factors found positively related to exclusive breastfeeding (p&lt;0.05) included rural area (adjusted OR = 1.417), north (adjusted OR = 2.948) and northeast regions (adjusted OR = 1.551), age of mother (adjusted OR = 1.023), , female child (adjusted OR = 1.527), Richest wealth index quintile (adjusted OR = 1.675), mothers with secondary educational level (adjusted OR = 3.867), and children ever born (adjusted OR = 1.171), while negatively associated factors included age of child (adjusted OR = 0.637), delivered in non-public medical sector (adjusted OR = 0.621), weight of child at birth (adjusted OR = 0.518), times of received antenatal care (adjusted OR = 0.924), and caesarean section (adjusted OR = 0.551). In addition, the variable of area changed from significance in unadjusted to non-significance in adjusted analysis due to the influence of such variables as region, wealth index quintile, place of delivery, size of child at birth, and children ever born. Accordingly, the researcher recommends increasing exclusive breastfeeding practice in Thailand by considering associated factors.

title: Folklore museums and their roles in displaying and preserving communal cultural heritage : the case studies of Yaowarat Chinatown heritage center, Bang Lamphu Museum and Bangkokian Museum

description: Communal cultural heritage as the embodiment of cultural diversity of the nation, plays more significant roles in the contemporary context. Adopted from the definitions of tangible and intangible heritages and their displaying in communities, the idea of preserving communal cultural heritage has extended its instruments to various fields and different forms. Among them, local folklore museum plays irreplaceable roles in the displaying and maintaining the cultural identity of the local community. In this research, three folklore museums in Bangkok, Thailand are chosen as study cases to examine the roles that folklore museum plays in the process of displaying and preserving communal cultural heritages. First of the first, the realization of an area’s cultural values is the starting point of forming a folklore museum. After a fully understanding of the historical and cultural context of the area, the folklore museum is established to display its content to visitors. During this process, different cultural context and displaying approaches lead to the diverse outcome image and in a way reflect the diverse cultures in Thailand.

title: The creation of a "Lanna sense of place" through fine arts in northern Thailand : a case study of hotel lobby decorations in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai

description: This dissertation will observe and evaluate how the Northern region of Thailand had applied various cultural elements and beliefs in creating a “Sense of Lanna” to attract visitors. How these cultural elements had been applied by the various parties will demonstrate the manner of their commercialization - whether in a positive or negative way. The scope of this research is focused on seven 5-star hotels in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. This area was chosen because Chiang Mai is the most award-winning province in Thailand when it comes to tourism especially. This is in addition to the area having many significant cultural attractions in Thailand. This research has two main components in methodology namely: qualitative and quantitative. For the first part of qualitative, observations were done at those seven 5-star hotels in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. It was found that Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort Chiang Rai had applied the most number of fine art in the lobby area. Furthermore, the eight items (plant, accessories, furniture, religious objects, sculptures, lighting, ceramics, animal objects) were identified to be more favored in decorating most of these selected hotels. Meanwhile, hotels in Chiang Mai had applied more fine art compared to Chiang Rai hotels. However, both provinces had applied Buddhist art motifs widely in decorating their hotel lobby. Another aspect, the influence of local tradition and belief into form and space, was also found. Only Dhara Dhevi Hotel Chiang Mai and Ratilanna Riverside Spa Resort Chiang Mai had combined these two aspects together. From these seven 5-star hotels, only the Dhara Dhevi Hotel Chiang Mai layout was fully designed to face the east. The second part, quantitative, was derived from the 57 respondents involved. From the findings, aesthetic factor was identified as an influential factor of impression towards fine art as decorations in creating the Lanna style for hotels in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. These respondents were also more satisfied with hotels in Chiang Mai in the way they had decorated their hotel lobby area. In conclusion, the Northern region of Thailand is very rich in various elements from its past civilization. The Northern region also prefers to apply Buddhist art motif as the decorative elements in the lobby area. However, it is extremely essential to disseminate accurate and appropriate information when displaying certain meanings and designs to the public.
