title: Extraction of γ-oryzanol and proteins from raw and de-oiled rice bran using subcritical and supercritical fluids

description: Subcritical and supercritical fluid extractions have been developed in order to recover valuable compounds from lignocellulosic biomass. In this work, the authors focused on γ-oryzanol and proteins extraction from rice bran and de-oiled rice bran which are generally used as an animal feed. The experimental results showed that supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂) could be used to extract rice bran oil with relatively high γ-oryzanol concentration whilst subcritical water (SW) could recover 100% of protein. The kinetic information of rice bran protein hydrolysis under SW atmosphere indicated that proteins/polypeptides hydrolyze to amino acids within two pathways. Moreover, the increase in temperature and reaction time (over 200 ℃ and 30 min) favored the proteins/polypeptides degradation rate. Thus, the extraction condition for SW extraction should be optimized or the amino acid production would be focused instead. Finally, the multi-fluid processing or consecutive extraction process using SC-CO₂followed by SW was investigated. The suitable condition obtained from each single-fluid extraction was used. The results showed that SC-CO₂ extraction and SW extraction could be operated sequentially without any interaction. The obtained products were not only rice bran oil with high concentrated γ-oryzanol and proteins, but also sugars, amino acids and other value-added products.

title: Corrosion behaviors of nanocrystalline Ni-W alloys

description: Owing to the substantially enhanced hardness of the nanocrystalline (nc) grain size, nc Ni-W alloys show great promise as coating materials. However, the limited knowledge on corrosion of these materials has hindered their utilization in a range of industries. Thus, this research employs a systematic investigation, which is designed to address various factors influencing corrosion, namely, grain size, W content, crystallographic texture, surface composition, grain boundary relaxation, grain growth and pH, in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution at room temperature. This research is divided into three parts. In part I, electrodeposited nc Ni-W alloys with a range of grain size were investigated. It was found that W content and crystallographic texture are the factors governing corrosion in alkaline condition, while W content is the factor governing corrosion in acidic condition. In Part II, the annealed nc Ni-W specimens were investigated to single out the effects of grain boundary relaxation and grain growth on corrosion. Both effects were found to have insignificant effect on corrosion rate. In part III, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was utilized to examine the electrochemical corrosion phenomena at the sample/electrolyte interface. Corrosion of nc Ni-W alloys was controlled by capacitance (C[subscript dl]) and charge transfer resistance (R[subscript ct]), which indicates corrosion resistance of nc Ni-W alloys. The results in Part III show the similar trends in corrosion resistance to those shown in Parts I and II.

title: A very fast incremental neural learning for classification using only new incoming datum and hyper-ellipsoidal function

description: This research proposes a very fast 1-pass-throw-away learning algorithm based on a hyper-ellipsoidal function that can be translated and rotated to cover the data set during learning process. The translation and rotation of hyper-ellipsoidal function depends upon the distribution of the data set. In addition, the versatile elliptic basis function (VEBF) neural network with one hidden layer is proposed. The hidden layer of the proposed neural network is adaptively divided into subhidden layers according to the number of classes of the training data set. Each subhidden layer can be scaled by incrementing a new node to learn new samples during training process. The learning time is O(n), where n is the number of data. The network can independently learn any new incoming datum without involving the previously learned data. Therefore, there is no need to store all previous data in order to mix with the new incoming data during the learning process.

title: Efficiency of carbon deposition by carbon dioxide assimilation of microalgae and bivalves

description: Effect of CO₂ concentration on photosynthesis efficiency (Fv/Fm) was studied with Isochrysis galbana and Tetraselmis suecica. The results showed that the Fv/Fm of both species in pure air culture was similar to microalgae cultured in 1.5% of CO₂ (Fv/Fm = 0.8) and 1.5% CO₂ clearly enhanced growth of the microalgae. While CO₂ concentration higher than 1.5% inhibited photosynthesis in both species. The maximum cell density of I. galbana and T. suecica cultivated in F/2 medium supplemented with 1.5% CO₂ were 1.87x107 and 2.39x106 cells/ml, respectively. With this study growth rate of oyster blood cockle and hooded oyster could not be detected, biological CO₂ assimilation process using marine microalgae and marine bivalve was evaluated by carbon assimilation of the green mussel Perna viridis fed with Tetraselmis suecica under laboratory condition. Incorporation of carbon dioxide into microalgae biomass was performed through aeration. The experiment consisted of three treatments which were mussels without feeding (Control), mussels fed with T. suecica cultured with air (Treatment 1: T-Air), and mussels fed with T. suecica cultured with 1.5% CO₂ in air (Treatment 2: T-CO₂). The results showed that growth of mussels in T-Air and T-CO₂ was 22.4 ± 4.0 mg/individual/day and 28.9 ± 12.3 mg/individual/day, respectively which was significant higher than control (mussels without feeding). Growth of mussels in T-Air was significantly lower than T-CO₂, (p≤0.05). Growth of mussels in T-Air was significantly lower than in T-CO₂. Carbon content in shell (15.59 ± 0.57 % D.W.) and meat (38.28 ± 1.72 % D.W.) of mussels fed with aerated T. suecica (T-Air) was significantly higher than that found in mussels fed with 1.5% CO₂ T. suecica (14.2 ± 0.47 and 36.61± 0.43 % D.W. in shell and in meat, respectively) (p≤0.05). With T-Air, 1.93±0.28% and 9.28±1.33% of carbon from T. suecica cells was assimilated into shell and meat of the mussel, respectively, while in T-CO₂, carbon assimilation from T. suecica cells in shell and meat was 2.21±0.56% and 11.17±2.81% respectively. Larger carbon deposition was from surrounding water through calcification process. As meat of the mussel can be utilized as food and carbon can be long term stored as shell, hence carbon assimilation using microalgae and bivalve could be considered as an alternative way of carbon dioxide mitigation process.

title: Modification of titanium surface for supporting osteoblast adhesion and differentiation

description: Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) film created via Layer-by-Layer deposition can be used to modify the surface properties of materials in order to improve cell-material interactions. In this study poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC), poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (PSS) and poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) sodium salt (PSS-co-MA) were assembled into PEM {(PDADMAC/PSS)4/PDADMAC+PSS-co-MA} film on glasses, titanium (Ti) discs and polycaprolactone (PCL) films. PSS-co-MA PEM film coated substrates had better wettability property than uncoated substrates. The effects of PSS-co-MA PEM surface on murine pre-osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1) and human primary osteoblastic cells were examined. Results showed that PSS-co-MA PEM film coated substrates promoted osteoblast differentiation. In this regard, the increase of alkaline phosphatase activity, osteoblastic mRNA expressions (type I collagen, osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin and dentin matrix protein 1), osteocalcin protein secretion and calcium deposition rate were noted compared to uncoated substrates. To test bone induction ability in vivo, PSS-co-MA coated PCL films were implanted in murine calvarials defects. Result showed an increased amount of new bone formation around the PSS-co-MA coated PCL films compared to uncoated PCL. In conclusion, PSS-co-MA film enhanced osteoblast differentiation and could be used to promote mineralization in bone tissue engineering and to improve osseointegration for dental implants.

title: Load feasible region determination using boundary tracing method

description: This dissertation proposes a method for determining load feasible region on a plane between real power axis and reactive power axis. The considered problem in this research is the transfer capability determination from a source to a sink area in a power system. The proposed method uses the boundary tracing process by determining a boundary point of load feasible region with the distance minimization from an unfeasible loading point. Then, next boundary points are traced using vector operations and the distance minimization repeatedly until obtaining a closed contour of load feasible region. The proposed method has been tested with 2-bus system, 6-bus system, IEEE 24-bus system, and Thailand power system. The results show that this method can determine load feasible regions for several source-sink pairs. The load feasible region shows limits of load changes due to several activities, e.g. load increment, load shedding, and reactive power compensation. This method can visualize feasible load conditions more obviously than the conventional load margin determination methods, e.g. repeated power flow and continuation power flow. Moreover, the proposed method can determine the outermost boundary of load feasible region affected by the considered system parameters.

title: Migration of specialist physicians in an economic community : a comparison of Thailand and Poland

description: With the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in 2015, the free movement of specialist physicians, whose competencies are the practicing of advanced diagnosis and treatments for severe patients, will be allowed within the region. However, their future migration patterns within the AEC still have not been assessed yet. This study aims to examine future migration patterns of Thai specialist physicians within the AEC. The methodology of this study consisted of three steps: (1) reviewing relevant literature regarding the migration of Polish specialist physicians in the European Union (EU). This review was used as a benchmark for Thailand’s case; (2) opinion surveying of 76 Thai resident physicians by self-administered questionnaires; (3) conducting in-depth interviews (IDI) of three Thai specialist physicians and seven resident physicians. The literature review shows that the number of emigrated Polish medical doctors had significantly increased after the country’s accession to the union since 2004. Most of them were anesthesiologists. Main destinations were the UK, Sweden, Germany, and Ireland, respectively. The main pull factors in the destinations included better income, working conditions, and professional development. The evaluation of questionnaires reveals that 97.3% of respondents intend to work in Thailand, for at least 5 years after finishing the specialist training. In fact, only 22.4% and 23.7% knew about the AEC, and the Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRAs) on ASEAN medical practitioners, respectively. However, 33.8% were interested to work full-time in ‘Singapore’ for more than one year. The IDI shows that the main push factors in Thailand include heavy workload, poor financial management of hospitals, and medical malpractice litigations. The main pull factors in more developed ASEAN countries are reported to be better income and better working conditions. In addition, the health care system of Singapore is perceived to be ‘fairer’ and ‘more transparent.’ In conclusion, unlike Poland, Thailand does not seem likely to face a large flow of external migration of specialist physicians to other member states in the future. However, according to Thailand-Poland comparison, the improvement of domestic working and living conditions are recommended for the Thai government.

title: Companion data of a Systematic Mapping Study of Programming Languages for Data-Intensive HPC Applications

description: As the current existing literature on the topic of HPC is very dispersed, we performed a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) in the context of the European COST Action cHiPSet. This literature study maps characteristics of various programming languages for data-intensive HPC applications, including category, typical user profiles, effectiveness, and type of articles. We organised the SMS in two phases. In the first phase, relevant articles are identified employing an automated keyword-based search in eight digital libraries. This lead to an initial sample of 420 papers, which was then narrowed down in a second phase by human inspection of article abstracts, titles and keywords to 152 relevant articles published in the period 2006--2018. The analysis of these articles enabled us to identify 26 programming languages referred to in 33 of relevant articles. This document is the data companion for a paper published elsewhere and presents a detailed list of the selected papers. Besides, the document also presents the form of our questionnaire-based survey. We also include the filled in questionnaires and raw data of the referred survey. To validate the SMS results we conducted a survey (in November 2018) with 28 HPC experts involved in the cHiPSet COST action to which we added, in October 2019, 29 HPC experts which were not involved in that COST action. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling, and contacted directly by the authors. In total, we received 57 filled survey forms.

title: Political connection and earnings quality

description: Researchers suspect that there exist political connections which provide advantages and allows politically connected firms to gain extra benefits than non-connected firms or exploit the connections to maximize their profits. This thesis isolated the quality of accounting information and market reaction toward earnings announcement to see whether they are affected by political connection. By employing accrual method to study the relationship between political connections and the quality of accounting information in terms of earnings of the firms listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand during 2000-2008, the paper reported that political connection causes the quality of earnings to be lower in comparison to non-connected firms while political connection provides benefit in terms of having a lower cost of debt and found that connected firms have an overall lower cost of debt. Finally, we found that connected and non-connected firms have similar pattern of market reaction towards earnings announcement.
