title: Activation dynamics data for locust hind leg extensor muscle

description: This data set has been acquired and analysed in association with a computational modelling project that compared and evaluated five muscle activation dynamics models for application to insect muscle. The data was acquired in experiments on the extensor tibiae muscle of the locust hind leg (*Schistocerca gregaria*). The zip-archive comprises mostly MATLAB files. Two data files contain original isometric force measurements with controlled stimulation of either the slow (SETI) or the fast (FETI) extensor tibiae motoneurons. Moreover, it contains four files with parameter sets for two non-linear muscle activation models, as proposed by *Zakotnik et al.* [1] and *Wilson et al.* [2], respectively. Finally, a readme file and Matlab script for demonstration of the experimental data are supplied for general information. All data are referred to in the manuscript “Evaluation of linear and non-linear activation dynamics models for insect muscle” by Harischandra et al., that is currently under revision. Data may be used in conjunction with a Matlab toolbox IMADSim that is available from the Matlab Central repository. <br><br> **References:** <br> [1] Zakotnik J, Matheson T, Dürr V (2006) Co-contraction and passive forces facilitate load compensation of aimed limb movements.

title: Sorption-enhanced carbon dioxide reforming and partial oxidation of biogas

description: This work investigates the advantages of utilizing CaO as a CO2 sorbent in the combined carbon dioxide reforming and partial oxidation of biogas over Ni/SiO2.MgO catalyst. The catalytic performance in term of hydrogen yield of the integrated sorption-reaction systems was operated under 3 modes; i.e. i) Ni/SiO2.MgO before CaO, ii) CaO before Ni/SiO2.MgO and iii) mixture of CaO and Ni/SiO2.MgO, is compared with that of the conventional system without CaO sorbent. The results indicate that the mode of mixture of CaO and Ni/SiO2.MgO shows the best performance among the different sorption enhanced systems. However, the results from simulation indicated that the addition of oxygen caused decrease in H2:CO ratio, hydrogen yield and concentration, but increase in exothermic heat. The addition of water was able to enhance H2:CO ratio, hydrogen yield and endothermic heat; however, hydrogen concentration was declined. The CaO addition can improve H2:CO ratio, hydrogen yield and concentration including more exothermic heat. The temperature effect, H2: CO ratio, hydrogen yield and concentration decreased but the overall enthalpy increased at high temperature. For thermal-neutral operation, the condition which gives optimum hydrogen yield of 89.3% with H2:CO = 8.98 are O2:CH4 = 0.00013, H2O:CH4 = 4.8 and CaO:CH4 = 1 at 973 K.

title: Cytotoxicity of two Thai white portland cements mixed with bismuth oxide in human alveolar osteoblasts

description: The purpose of this study was to compare the cytotoxicity of white ProRoot® MTA and two Thai White Portland cement mixed with bismuth oxide; Chang and Kilan to primary human alveolar bone osteoblasts by assessing cell viability and investigating cell morphology and attachment. Chang, Kilan and white ProRoot® MTA were mixed with distilled water. Human alveolar bone osteoblasts were exposed to material extracts from different time: 1, 3, 7, 14 days. Cell viability was assessed using Methyltetrazolium assay and showed as relative percent of the survival rate of experimental group to control group. Differences in mean cell viability between materials and extraction times were analyzed by One-way ANOVA (p &lt; 0.05). In addition, cells were seeded on the material disc and incubated for 24 and 72 hours. Cell morphology and attachment were observed by scanning electron microscope. All day 1 material extracts were more toxic than other time points especially Kilan extracts. There were differences of percents cell viability of material extract at day 1, 3 and 7. However at day 14 those of all material extracts were not different. Cells were able to attach and well spread on all material within both 24 and 72 hours. This study showed that Chang and Kilan were not more toxic than white ProRoot® MTA to primary human alveolar bone osteoblasts at days 3, 7 and 14. Cells could attach to Chang and Kilan in a similar fashion to white ProRoot® MTA.

title: HIV/AIDS risk behaviors among Myanmar migrants in Bangkok, Thailand

description: This cross-sectional study examined HIV/AIDS risk behaviors and modifiable factors for prevention of HIV/AIDS among Myanmar Migrant labors in Khao San Road tourism area in Bangkok. 210 participants (Male 108, Female 102) age between 18 to 35 years were selected and a self-administered questionnaire was utilized to collect data of this study with snowball sampling technique. For data analysis, descriptive statistics was used for all variables and chi-square test, odds ratio and 95% CI were used to describe association between studied factors. Majority of the respondents were at the age of between 25-29years (mean age was 26.4 years). Most of them were Myanmar and Mon. Half of respondents was single. Nearly 70% had not completed compulsory education and worked as shop helpers in Khao San road. They could speak and understand Thai language. Those respondents got HIV information from mass media. The findings in this study suggested that the majority of participants had a moderate level of HIV/AIDS knowledge, mean score 9.73 (minimum 0 to maximum 14), SD ± 2.54. There was no statistically significant difference among male and female respondents about HIV/ AIDS knowledge. But male were more risky in sexual behaviors, alcohol and drug related risks than female. Male 13.6% who had with sex in this study reported they didn’t use condoms when having sex with commercial sex workers (CSW). There were nearly half of respondents who had sex with CSW after drinking alcohol/taking drug answered they had no history of condom use. No injected drug users were found in this study. There were significant associations between migrant status (p-value 0.027), occupation status (p-value 0.005) and visiting to sex workers, between age of respondents (p-value 0.004), gender (p-value &lt;0.001), monthly average expenditure (p-value &lt;0.001) and alcohol drinking and between occupation status (p-value 0.002), monthly income (p-value 0.041), monthly support to family (p-value 0.037) and drug use. Based on the results of this study, it can be convinced that there is still need to spread HIV health information for improvement of HIV/AIDS knowledge and safer sexual behavior among Myanmar migrant workers in Khao San Road, Phra Nakorn District, Bangkok Metropolitan.

title: Diversity of ferns and fern allies at Khao Nan Yai, Khao Nan National Park, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province

description: Diversity of ferns and fern allies at Khao Nan Yai, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province was carried out from July 2007 to April 2008 at elevations ranging from 330 to 1,385 m above mean sea level. A total of two hundred and twenty one specimens were collected. These specimens were identified and classified into 131 species, 58 genera and 24 families. Among these 11 species in 2 genera are fern allies, while 120 species and 3 varieties in 56 genera were ferns. The most common families were Polypodiaceae, Hymenophyllaceae, Dryopteridaceae and Woodsiaceae which included 23, 12 and 10 species, respectively. The collected species can be further classified in to 45 terrestrials and 1 variety, 37 epiphytes and 2 varieties and 14 lithophytes. However, 35 species thrived in more than one habitat. It can be concluded that 68 species were found in tropical evergreen forest, and 46 species grow naturally in hill evergreen forest. Moreover, 17 species grew in both forest types. It is noted that Ctenopterella khaoluangensis (Tagawa & K. Iwats.) Parris is the only endemic species for Thailand. Five species are new records for Thailand, i.e. Cyathea glabra (Blume) Copel., Cyathea hymenodes (Willd.) Sw., Huperzia coralia (Spring) J. Holub, Huperzia hippuris (Christ) J. Holub and Hymenophyllum treubii Racib. Key to the genera and the species were constructed. Full Description, together with ecological data, distribution, local name, and photographs of each species were prepared. The voucher specimens are deposited at the Professor Kasin Suvatabhandhu Herbarium, Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University (BCU) and the Forest Herbarium (BKF), National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department.

title: Sample preparation using membrane dialysis for determination of Iodide Ion in milk and egg samples

description: The sample preparation using membrane dialysis for iodide determination in milk and egg samples was developed. Thio-nit method was used for iodide detection. Several dialysis configurations with polysulfone hollow fiber membrane were investigated. When donor solution (iodide solution) or acceptor solution (deionized water) was recirculated through the membrane which was immersed in the other solution, high %dialysis was obtained, however, dialysis time was quite long and filtration effect was found. The similar effects were observed when the donor and acceptor solutions were recirculated countercurrently across the membrane. When the donor solution was fixed inside the membrane while the acceptor was flown outside in non-recirculation system, only 0.2 mL of sample could provide sufficient %dialysis for dialysis time less than 10 min and the filtration effect was not found. Furthermore, it was found that 1 mL/min of acceptor flow rate could provide sufficient %dialysis in short dialysis time. The donor composition was optimized using the mixture of Na[subscript 2]CO [subscript 3] and NaHCO [subscript 3]. It was observed that the %dialysis was significantly increased due to the ionic strength effect on the dialysis mechanism. However, as higher salt concentration, the % dialysis was decreased. Because of the solution may become more viscous, the diffusion of iodide ion would be slower. The linear dynamic range was 0 to 480 µg/L. The limit of detection and the limit of quantitation were 32.9 µg/L and 97.7 µg/L, respectively. The recovery of 89.7% was obtained from skim milk powder standard reference material with 9 %RSD. This method was applied to milk and egg samples. The recovery of spiked milk and egg samples were in the range of 100-115 % with 4-22 %RSD and 100-112% with 15-22 %RSD, respectively.

title: Heavy metals and acid generation potentials of solid mining wastes from Akara gold mine, Phichit province

description: Gold mining wastes were chemically characterized particularly in aspects of acid drainage formation and heavy metal leaching. Solid mining wastes contain waste rocks and tailings that were taken from the largest gold mine in Thailand, Akara gold mine in Phichit Province. Waste rock samples from C-H pit and tailing samples from tailing storage facility were collected to be representatives of waste material. All samples were tested for geochemical characteristics including leaching of heavy metal and acid generating potentials. All information gained from this study can provide such good idea for environmental management. Two particular types of waste rocks (i.e., silicified lapilli tuff and sheared tuff) appear to have potential to generate acid mine drainage; therefore, good management plan must be taken with great care. Other rock types and tailing samples did not show signature to generate acidic drainage. From metal analyses of tailing, most toxic elements (e.g., Co, Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni and Zn) were found falling within the standard of Thailand Soil Quality Standards for Habitat and Agriculture. Only Mn appears to have higher content than the standard. However both Mn and Pb can leach out exceeding the surface water standard for agricultural at all pH condition, based on experiment leaching test. Ni can leach out exceeding the surface water standard at below pH 4. Thus, these 3 metals are needed to be monitor even at neutral pH condition. For waste rocks, most metals (e.g. As, Ag, Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni and Pb) were found exceeding the average in igneous rocks. However, leaching experiment indicate the most metals have potential to leach out only at lower pH (pH2); besides, many metals show just little difference of leaching at pH 4 and 6.5. Mn, Pb and Cu appear to be the most concern in the leachate because these metals in all rock types yielded high concentration in the leachates at all pH conditions which are over the standards in most cases. These results lead to management and monitoring plan.

title: Estimation of heavy metal intake from seafood consumption in the population of Muang district Rayong province

description: Due to increasing concern about the intake of contaminants in foods, this study was performed to determine the exposure of the 316 primary health care voluntary staff of Muang District, Rayong Province to heavy metal contaminants; cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) in seafood, and to estimate the health risk. The concentrations of these metals were determined in the 13 most consumed marine species, yellow-tail round scad (Decapterus maruadsi), indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta), longtail tuna (Thunnus tonggol), yellow stripe trevally (Selaroides leptolepis), ornate threadfin bream (Nemipterus hexodon), black pomfret (Parastromateus niger), spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson), greasy grouper (Epinephelus tauvina), blood cockle (Arca granulose), green mussel (Perna viridis), banana shrimp (Penaeus merguiensis), soft cuttle fish (Sepioteuthis lessoniana) and splendid squid (Loligo duvauceli). The samples were collected from 3 local markets of Muang District, Rayong Province, between January and February 2008. Analysis of the above contaminants was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). The bivalves had the highest contents of Cd (0.731 µg/g in blood cockle and 0.140 µg/g in green mussel) and Pb (0.096 µg/g in blood cockle and 0.084 µg/g in green mussel), the cephalopods had the highest content of As (7.032 µg/g in soft cuttlefish and 5.807 µg/g in splendid squid), while the highest Hg content was in fish group (0.119 µg/g in spanish mackerel and 0.269 µg/g in greasy grouper). However, the contamination levels of heavy metals were still lower than contamination standard limited level in food issued by the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand, except the total arsenic contents in soft cuttlefish, splendid squid, yellow stripe trevally, ornate threadfin bream and green mussel, which were higher than that limit. The estimated dietary intake of Cd (66.33 µg/person/week). Pb (40.83 µg/person/week), inorganic As (317.32 µg/person/week) and Hg (46.16 µg/person/week) from 13 kinds of seafoods were within the safe limits. It appears that there is no imminent health risk due to heavy metals examined in this study. However, it should be recognized that the subjects may also be exposed to certain contaminants from other foods and sources other than the diet.

title: A Development of the business English reading course using a problem-based learning approach to enhance English learning outcomes of the university of the Thai Chamber of Commerce undergraduate students

description: To develop a business English reading course using the problem-based learning approach (PBL) and to investigate its effects on undergraduate students’ reading English for business communication abilities, problem solving skills and attitudes toward PBL. Research procedure included 2 stages. The first stage was development of the course. The second stage was implementation of the course. The results of the research derived the business English reading course using a problem-based learning approach. The course was consisted of the rationale and its five major components including objectives, content, instructional process, materials and assessment and evaluation. In investigating the effectiveness of the course, 24 English for business communication-major undergraduate students participated in the study for 16 weeks. The research instruments included the reading English for business communication test (the REBC test), the problem-solving skills inventory (the PSSI), PBL log, and PBL attitude questionnaire. Pre-and post-test scores of both the REBC test and the PSSI were analyzed by Dependent Sample t-test. The attitude scores were analyzed by X, S.D. The qualitative data from PBL log were analyzed by Content Analysis. It was found that the students’ post-test mean score of the REBC test was statistically higher than their pretest mean score (p&lt;0.05). The magnitude of the effect size was large. Also, the students’ post-test mean score of the PSSI was statistically higher than their pretest mean score (p&lt;0.05). The magnitude of the effect size was medium. Data obtained from PBL log demonstrated that more than 50 percent of the students reported that they had improved their reading English for business communication, and problem-solving skills. PBL attitude questionnaire revealed that all students had highly positive PBL attitudes regarding most aspects explored. All these findings indicate that the problem-based business English reading course enhanced the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce undergraduate students’ reading English for business communication abilities, problem solving skills and positive attitudes toward the problem-based learning approach.

title: The effect of silane coupling agents on properties of poly(vinyl cloride)/bagasse composites

description: In this research, the effect of silane coupling agents on properties of Poly(vinyl chloride)/Bagasse composites which were produced from poly (vinyl chloride) and untreated or treated bagasse were evaluated. The surface of bagasse was modified by treating the fiber with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (amino), N-(β-aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (diamino) or glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (epoxy). Particularly, this research studied the effects of various types and concentrations of silane coupling agents on mechanical, thermal, and water absorption properties of composites. Bagasse at 60 phr with fiber sizes of 45-106 µm and 106-180 µm were used. PVC dry blend and bagasse were mixed in a two-roll mill followed by compression molding. The composites with treated bagasse showed the increase in the tensile and flexural properties. It showed that tensile and flexural strengths of these composites increased between 24-27% and 14-17%, respectively, compared to composites with untreated fiber. In addition, these composites with treated bagasse absorbed less amount of water than composites with untreated bagasse. However, types and concentrations of silane coupling agents did not show significant effect on impact strength and thermal properties of PVC/bagasse composites. Among three types of silane coupling agent used, the composites with bagasse treated with amino silane coupling agent at 2% by weight of bagasse showed the best results in tensile and flexural properties and they also showed the lowest amount of water absorption.
