title: Madness as symptomatic of american society in twentieth century American novels : a study of William Faulkner's The Sound and The Fury, Joseph Heller's Catch-22 and Ken Kesey's One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest

description: This thesis studies three twentieth century American novels: William Faulkner’s The Sound and The Fury, Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, which deal with the issue of madness in different ways, from the level of individual plight to the phenomenon of social epidemic. This study is prompted by the ideas set forth by Michel Foucault in Madness and Civilization (1961) and his other writings, which propose that each culture’s varied discourses on madness reflect more about that culture itself than what psychiatrists define as mental disorders. This thesis will therefore question how the literary presentations of madness in these three selected novels mirror the changes in sociopolitical structure, cultural trends and general sensibilities in the twentieth century. It will discuss how William Faulkner’s The Sound and The Fury (1929) represents a transitional period in American history when the unsullied values of the Old South were being replaced by the vulgarity of the modern world. It will also discuss how Joseph Heller's Catch-22 (1961), one of the quintessential anti-war novels in the past century, depicts madness of modern discursive, and sociopolitcal practices in postwar America. Finally, the thesis will explore how Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1962) portrays madness as a means for political and social control in contemporary American society. From William Faulkner to Ken Kesey, each literary representation of madness can serve to illustrate the relationship between madness and society, and explain how the issue of madness, once misunderstood and silenced, has been reassessed in the latter half of the century.

title: Characteristics and catalytic properties of alumina-silica bimodal pore supported cobalt catalyst for carbon monoxide hydrogenation

description: In the present study, differences in characteristics and catalytic activity towards CO hydrogenation of Co catalysts dispersed on alumina-silica bimodal pore supports were investigated. The various amounts of alumina were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method, then calcined them in air. Then, consequently impregnated with the cobalt precursors. After calcination, the various samples were characterized using N[subscript 2] physisorption, XRD, SEM/EDX, TEM, TPR and H[subscript 2] chemisorption. CO hydrogenation (H[subscript 2]/CO = 10/1) was also performed to determine the overall activity and selectivity. It revealed that the size of Co oxide species depends on the amount of alumina in support and type of Co precursor. A wide range of variables including particle size, support interaction, and the alumina content can affect the kinetics of reduction. It was found that for the alumina-silica bimodal pore catalyst, the catalyst dispersed on the high alumina content support exhibited high activities due to high reducibility. With use of cobalt nitrate as Co precursor exhibited highest activities. The use of cobalt chloride as Co precursor exhibited lowest activities due to decrease in cobalt dispersion.

title: The development of shop floor management system in lubricating oil manufacturing industry

description: Manufacturers across many sectors increasingly operate in make-to-order (MTO) environment which has a negative impact on performance. This paper aims to present lean & business process reengineering (BPR) model for effective shop floor management, with the flexibility to position the organisation in MTO environment. Lean & BPR model combines the most common lean production with BPR principles found in the literature. Four elements of the model which contribute to improve the company’s performance are cross-functional team, continuous improvement (kaizen), JIT production and supplier integration. The four phases of the model include identifying, analysing, implementing and evaluating. The new shop floor management system which was developed according to lean production principles was implemented in a case study company. Case results show significant decreases in the amount of drum delivery delays (94.25% decrease), reworks (96.73% decrease), overtime (95.06% decrease), as well as increases in inventory turnover rate (37.76% increase) and labour utilisation (68.14% increase). Lean & BPR model provides a comprehensive solution to a complex shop floor management problem in MTO environment where the company has to be able to respond to dynamically changing market conditions.

title: In situ silica reinforcement of radiation prevulcanized natural rubber latex

description: A method to prepare radiation-vulcanized NR sheets containing in situ generated silica was reported. The NR latex having 50% dry rubber content was irradiated under gamma rays with a total radiation dose of 15 kGy. The prevulcanized latex was then mixed with alkoxysilanes, precursors of silica. The latex misture was heated at 50 [degree celcius] for 48 hours in order to initiate the sol-gel process of the silane to form silica particles inside the rubber matrix. Three types of alkoxysilanes were studied-tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), vinyltriethoxysilace (VTOS), and ethyltriethoxysilane (ETOS). The percentage of conversion from silanes to silica were in the order of TEOS (80%)&gt;VTOS (60%)&gt;ETOS (10%), reflecting the bulkiness and polarity of the vinyl and ethyl substituent of the silane. The silica particles obtained from all silanes dispersed evenly in the rubber matrix as observed by SEM. The silica particles generated from TEOS formed various aggregate sizes of about 1 [micro]m. The sizes of silica particles generated from either VTOS or ETOS were found to be about 0.1 [micro]m and aggregation was not found. Swelling behavior in toluene and water, physical properties and thermal properties of the in situ silica/radiation vulcanized natural rubber composites were also investigated as a function of type and amount of alkoxysilanes used.

title: Development of polymeric electrophoresis microchip for biomarker detection

description: In this work, the development of material to fabricate lab-on-a-chip devices for biomedical applications is demonstrated. The property of different type of polymers: poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and thermoset polyester (TPE) microchips were investigated. The PDMS chips were used to detect carbohydrate and thiol compounds in plasma samples. The results indicated that PDMS microchips suitable for clinical testing. The effect of layer-by-layer polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) coatings on the velocity and direction of electroosmotic flow (EOF) and the separation efficiency of PDMS microchips was studied using different polymer structures and different deposition conditions. The use of polyelectrolyte coatings generated a consistent EOF depending on the polymer structure and improved separation efficiency when compared to unmodified PDMS microchips. Thermoset Polyester (TPE) was prepared as an alternative material for microchip capillary electrophoresis with electrochemical detection (MCE-EC). TPE microchips were characterized in their native, plasma-oxidized, and PEM-coated forms. TPE microchips provided higher separation efficiencies compared to PDMS microchips, even though fabrication of TPE microchips is still very simple. The EOF of native and plasma-treated TPE microchip was higher and more consistent as a function of pH than the EOF of PDMS microchip. The TPE microchip was used to quantify biologically important compounds.

title: Development of ballistic armor based on Kevlar[trademark] fiber and fumed silica-filled polybenzoxazine composites

description: The aim of this study is to develop a ballistic armor produced from the matrix of polybenzoxazine (PBZ) modified with fumed silica (nano-SiO[subscript 2]), and the reinforcing Kevlar[superscript TM] fiber. From our previous research, polybenzoxazine has been reported to be a versatile polymer being tailor-made for many purposes. The outstanding properties of polybenzoxazine are its outstanding mechanical and thermal properties as well as its good processability. One of the unique properties of this polymer is its compatibility with many kinds of fillers. In this study, fumed silica was selected to mix with polybenzoxazine in order to modify its rigidity which is related to its sound propagation velocity. The property is important in ballistic impact resistant mechanism. The suitable condition for the preparation of the polybenzoxazine-fumed silica molding compounds and composites was investigated. The results revealed that the processing condition of the molding compounds to attain their fully cured stage was by heating at 160ํC for 2 hours, 180ํC for 2 hours (in the hydraulic hot-press machine, at 25 MPa), followed by post-curing at 200ํC for 4 hours (in an oven). The experimental results also revealed that the optimal nano-SiO[subscript 2] content in the polybenzoxazine was at 7wt% the Kevlar composite preparation. In addition, the polybenzoxazine matrix modified with 7wt% of the nano-SiO[subscript 2] was able to increase the flexural modulus from 5.98 GPa of the pure polybenzoxazine up to about 7.52 GPa in the composite. The thermal properties were found to increase with increasing the nano-SiO[subscript 2] contents. In the ballistic composite sample, the optimal weight ratio of fiber and modified polybenzoxazine matrix was approximately 75:25. The armor composite with 7wt% nano-SiO[subscript 2] at this composition ratio was able to render desirable ballistic performance up to NIJ standard of level IIIA. The thickness of the polybenzoxazine armor composite that can resist a ballistic impact of the NIJ standard at this level was 30 piles or higher. In addition, it was found that the first plate with the thickness of at least 15 piles was crucial to sufficiently destroy the projectiles of this high level.

title: Measurement of interspinous distance of Thai population in MRI and new design interspinous dynamic stabilization system of the lumbar spine

description: Dynamic stabilization device aim to use in neurogenic intermittent claudication and early degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis not response to conservative treatment.Measurement of lumbar interspinous distance in this study aim to be a pilot study to know the estimation of interspious distance that refers to size of interspinous device. Objectives of this research are measure interspinous distance in Thai patients from sagittal view of MRI lumbar spine and to design and test new design dynamic stabilization system in Finite element method. Mean distance in female are L1-2 12.51 mm, L2-3 11.78 mm, L3-4 10.95 mm and L4-5 10.57 mm. Mean distance in male are L1-2 12.20 mm, L2-3 11.63 mm, L3-4 10.74 mm and L4-5 10.15 mm. Total mean distance from all sample are L1-2 12.36 mm, L2-3 11.71 mm, L3-4 10.84 mm and L4-5 10.36 mm. The differences in interspinous distance between males and females were not significant. The maximum and minimum distances from all samples are 14.2 mm and 8 mm respectively. New design device is U shape with cable to sling around adjacent spinous process. The device design to use by posterior approach, simple and less modularity, easy to manufacturer, can insert without any cut or destroy bony structure and can correct stiffness loss in early degenerative lumbar spine to near normal. Interspinous distance measurement can refer to range of size to manufacturer for the device to cover the use in Thai patients. New design device fulfill all goal describe above under finite element testing. The results of the project could provide design and data for the manufacturer and next step experiment for dynamic stabilization device suitable for Thai population.

title: Contamination of mercury surface sediment in the Gulf of Thailand

description: Surface sediment samples were collected from 39 and 51 stations in the Upper and Lower Gulf of Thailand (GOT), respectively, during an expedition of R.V. Suk of the Royal Thai Navy in October 2003. The sediment samples were analyzed for their sedimentological characteristics using wet sieving and laser diffraction techniques. Organic carbon and carbonate contents in sediments were determined by wet oxidation and acid-base titration techniques, respectively. Total mercury contamination in the sediments was determined by cold-vapor atomic absorption techniques after extraction with aqua regia. The results indicated that grain size fraction of sediment from the Gulf was silt and sand. Average organic carbon in the upper and lower GOT were 0.93 ± 0.61 and 0.68 ± 0.37 percent, respectively. Carbonate contents in the upper and lower GOT were 15.1 ± 7.9 and 16.3 ± 8.6 percent, respectively. Total mercury in the upper GOT sediment was ranged from &lt; 2 to 92.4 with an average of 33.9 ± 27.4 µg/kg dry weight, while total mercury in the lower GOT sediments was less than the upper GOT. Total mercury in the lower GOT was ranged from 6.5 to 50.1 with an average of 24.4 ± 9.0 µg/kg dry weight. However the median of total mercury in the both parts is similar. This indicated the contribution of mercury from land based sources carrying to the GOT through four major rivers that empty to the upper GOT. In general, the mercury concentration in most places was direct related to the percentage of fine grain particles (&lt; 63 µm) presented in the sediments. Although, the level of mercury in the lower GOT sediments was lower than the upper GOT, a petroleum exploration in the lower GOT was shown somewhat related to an elevation of mercury content in some area.

title: Craking of high density polyethylene and polypropylene catalyzed by ZSM-5/Al-HMS composite

description: Composites of microporous and mesoporous materials have been studied as catalyst in the cracking of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP). Microporous ZSM-5 with the Si/Al molar ratio in gel of 40 and mesoporus Al-HMS with the Si/Al molar ratios in gel of 20, 60 and 200 were physically mixed. All synthesized catalysts were characterized using XRD, ICP-AES, 27Al-MAS-NMR, N2 adsorption-desorption, NH3-TPD and SEM techniques. Catalytic cracking of HDPE and PP over various ZSM-5/Al-HMS catalysts were studied under different conditions. When ZSM-5/Al-HMS was used as catalyst, the conversions of both plastics greatly increased comparing with those in the absence of catalyst. The conversions and yields of gas fraction, liquid fraction and solid coke depended on reaction temperature, catalytic to plastic ratios, weight of ZSM-5 per Al-HMS ratios, and Si/Al ratios in Al-HMS. The product selectivity was not significantly changed. The gas fraction obtained by HDPE and PP cracking composed mainly propylene, iso-butylene and C5+. The liquid fraction obtained by cracking of both types of plastic mainly composed of hydrocarbons in the range of C7 to C8. The optimal condition for catalytic cracking of composite ZSM-5/Al-HMS catalyst in this work was at the temperature of 400?C, ratio of ZSM-5 per Al-HMS as 1:1, and the Si/Al ratio of Al-HMS as 60. The catalyst to plastic ratios for HDPE and PP were 10 and 5 wt%, respectively. The reuse of ZSM-5/Al-HMS-60 (1:1) catalyst was performed by calcination. The activity of the reused catalyst for one cycle was not much different from the fresh catalyst.
