title: Investigation of sputtering parameters in preparation of group-V doped Zno leading to P-type transparent conducting oxide thin films

description: Group-V doped ZnO thin films were investigated for the sputtering parameters of p-type conductivity. Phosphorus-doped ZnO thin films obtaining from sputtering of phosphorus-doped ZnO target exhibit n-type conductivity which is a main result of substitution of phosphorus into the zinc site. Most of nitrogen-doped ZnO thin films obtaining from sputtering of pure ZnO target under a mixture of N[subscript 2] and Ar gases and from sputtering of pure Zn target under a mixture of N[subscript 2]O and Ar exhibit very high resistivity in the order of 105 [omega]cm and do not exhibit p-type conductivity. This relates to that most of nitrogen atoms cannot occupy oxygen sites and may appear as interstitial in the films. Small amount of nitrogen occupying oxygen sites and acting as acceptors cannot compensate the donors to exhibit p-type conductivity. Finally, preparation of intrinsic ZnO with the insertion of the ultra-thin Zn:N middle layer by sputtering with suitable post annealing leads to p-type ZnO films . The film crystalline structure was distributed to quasi-stable states with p-type conductivity by short-time vacuum annealing and then redistributed to stable states with n-type conductivity by long-time vacuum annealing. The temperature and time of annealing process after the end of sputtering process are the main parameters leading to p-type conductivity. This leads to the phase formation of Zn[subscript 3]N[subscript 2] and the diffusion of nitrogen and oxygen atoms.

title: Results of ICP-AES analysis of 6 bronze sheets from Songjia cemetery, China

description: Six thin Chinese bronze chariot accessory sheets from Songjia cemetery of Shaanxi Province were dated to the late Western Zhou Dynasty (9th to 8th centuries BCE) and analysed for their elemental composition and motif techniques. The objects were cold worked and annealed with embossed motifs and carved lines. This is the only case of cold working and annealing with embossed motifs and carved lines in China; these techniques may have come from or been influenced by other cultures. These findings are important for revealing the development of the cold working, annealing techniques and relevant motif techniques in China.

title: Distribution of the big-headed turtle Platysternon megacephalum Gray, 1831 in Thailand and a case study on population status and conservation management at Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary, Chiang Mai Province

description: The distribution of the big-headed turtle, Platysternon megacephalum Gray, 1831, in Thailand was studied from December 2006 to April 2009. Mountain streams of protected and unprotected areas throughout Thailand, except in the southern peninsular region, were ground surveyed. This study confirms the occurrence of P. megacephalum in one new river basin, Nan and nine previously reported river basins in the north, northeastern, north central and western parts of Thailand. Among these, twenty-two new localities were reported with elevations between 430 and 1,350 m asl in small, often fast flowing mountain streams in dry dipterocarp and monetane rain forests. During August 2008 to August 2009, their population status, movement, home range and threats of P. megacephalum in Thailand, and a case study on population status and conservation management were studied at Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary, Chiang Mai Province by radio telemetry and interview. The results revealed that most of the turtles lived near one another with some slight overlaps. Their re-sighting positions were not uniformly distributed within the boundaries of their respective home ranges. No correlations were found among the turtles in terms of the pattern or order of movements but there were significant differences between frequency of movement and the adults (χ2=18.96, p&lt;0.001). An analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed no significant relationships between the interval adjusted minimum stream distances moved by the turtles and either rainfall or temperature. Significant differences in P. megacephalum hunting was found with human gender (p&lt;0.001), age (p&lt;0.001) and level of education (p=0.006) and with the conservation agreement with gender (p=0.037), age (p&lt;0.001) and level of education (p&lt;0.001). This study recommends a proper management plan that should be implemented rapidly.

title: Implicit load sharing strategy for grid computing system

description: Grid technology has been extensively introduced as a computing framework for aggregating the computing resources geographically distributed over the Internet. A single grid system or a single “Virtual Organization” can be built in the form of multiple heterogeneous computing clusters from different organizations who share the same objective. Thus, grid system has unique characteristics such as no direct communication between the computing nodes in different clusters, large data transfer overhead due to WAN latency, etc. In order to effectively use these massively computing resources within grid system, we must employ load sharing strategy to distribute workload in the system. Load sharing strategy is always one of the key components to overall performance of grid computing system. However, most strategies assign workload with respect to explicit information. This kind of information represents the characteristics of the computing resources which are difficult to be collected and unreliable to be used for making load sharing decision within grid computing system. In this work, we propose a new metric for making load decision called “implicit information”. It is a single metric that can represent how fast a computing node can process the submitted jobs. Moreover, it can be gathered at the coordinator node which is responsible for distributing workload during the execution. Thus, this information is comprehensive and can be used for making load decision immediately without any resource models or any monitoring services. Since implicit information cannot be used as direct substitution of explicit information, we decide to propose a new implicit strategy and its extensions for addressing unique characteristics within grid computing environment. We simulate our experiments using network simulator (NS) to evaluate the performance of our proposed strategy. We then vary the characteristics of both underlying systems and submitted applications. The obtained results of implicit strategy are compared to those from other load sharing strategy in the past. The simulation results indicate that it outperforms traditional strategies especially when information inaccuracy occurred in the system.

title: On-line preconcentration of lead for the determination with flame atomic absorption spectrometry

description: A method for on-line preconcentration and determination of Pb(II) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry was developed. The solid phase extraction was applied in the preconcentration and silica gel chemically modified with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (Si-MPTS) was used as column packing material. The Si-MPTS was synthesized and characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). In the determination of Pb(II), the sample solution (10 mL) was passed through the column with a flow rate of 9.0 mL min-1. The sorbed Pb(II) ions were eluted with 200 µL of 0.05 mol L-1 HCl solution at a flow rate of 1.4 mL min-1. The preconcentration factor of 50 and sample throughput of 37 samples h-1 were achieved. The performance of the system was investigated under the optimum conditions using the solution containing 20 and 100 µg L-1 of Pb(II). The percentage recovery and the precision (%RSD) of the method were 102.2-106.8% and 4.8 -10.2 %, respectively. The accuracy of the method was tested by using certified reference material (SRM 1643e). The proposed system was applied for the determination of trace levels of Pb(II) in water samples.

title: An empirical comparison of binomial tree models for SET 50 index options

description: An option is a popular security which is used to reduce and manage the investment risks. The best results of applications of option depend on analysis of option, valuation of option, and some suitable investing strategies. In this research we concern about valuation of option using an empirical comparison of binomial tree models. We compare binomial tree models for SET50 index option in terms of pricing and hedging performances. The underlying asset of SET50 index option is the Stock Exchange Thailand index 50 (SET50) which is traded in the Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX). The sample data are taken from December 28, 2007 through December 29, 2008. The empirical comparisons are employed among three binomial tree models: the standard binomial tree (SBT), the implied binomial tree (IBT), and the generalized binomial tree (GBT). The performances are measured in terms of the mean error (ME), the mean percentage error (MPE), the mean squared error (MSE), and the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE).

title: SBTAR : an enhancing method for automate software test tools

description: Software testing is an important process to improve the quality of software in software development. Thus, many automation tools are created to help testing functionality of software. However, some usability issues of these tools have to be considered. One is that result logs which are generated from tools generally contain useless information. Therefore, testers cannot effectively use these logs; another issue is that all logs are not flexible to use since they need to open with a specific application. In order to eliminate these limitations from the test tools, this thesis proposes a new method, SBTAR, to improve the usability of automated test tools in a part of the result logs. Based on a tool named as IBM Rational Robot, some additional features are proposed. The first feature helps testers to manage all test objects where these objects are stored in a centralized database by adding, moving or deleting the objects’ properties, test conditions, and error messages that will be recorded into the result log. The second feature generates report that contains useful information. Moreover, this result log also increases flexibility by Microsoft Word or WordPad to make them readable. Thus, the defects of the tested programs can be identified easily.

title: Bird species diversity in Phu Khao Tong Area, Kang Khoi District, Saraburi province

description: The main objectives of this study were to examine bird species diversity in 5 different types which were forest, reservoir, grassland, agricultural field and residential area as well as to investigate biological and physical factors that many affect bird species in those habitats. Species diversity of birds in Phu Khao Tong area Kang Khoi District, Saraburi Province were monthly assessed by point count method from January 2008 to December 2008. The total number of bird species in the study area is 103 species. The number of bird species for a grassland, an agricultural field, a residential area, a reservoir, and a forest around Phu Khao Tong area were 73, 64, 55, 46, and 38 species respectively, and Shonnon-Weiner diversity index were 3.39, 3.37, 3.14, 3.06, and 3.01 respectively. The most similar in bird species between two habitat types was that between the agricultural field and the residential area with a Sorensen’s similarity index (S) of 0.78 while bird species in the forest and the residential are was least similar with the similarity index of 0.47. Moreover, a biological factor that showed correlations with the bird diversity and bird abundance was human disturbance (Pearson correlation = -0.725 (p = 0.00) and 0.528 (p = 0.01) respectively) while all physical factors investigated in this study did not correlate with bird diversity (p ≥ 0.05). Since in this study the grassland contained the highest bird diversity, the habitat type found between mountains should be preserved for bird corridor, however, those located near main road may be used for the constructions of infrastructure. At the present time forests in Phu Khao Tong area were on the process of restoration, so disturbance by human on these forests should be minimized.

title: Proton conductivity in Y-doped barium zirconate for intermediate temperature direct ethanol fuel cell

description: (BYZ) pellets with x=0.06-0.4 were fabricated by solid state reactions with a relative density higher than 95\%. The microstructures of the BYZ pellets reveal that BYZ surface has higher porosity than that of bulk, which may arise from the BaO evaporation during sintering process. The impedance analysis shows that the higher values of the bulk conductivity than those of the grain boundary. The highest bulk proton conductivity is obtained at x=0.1, while the highest grain boundary and total proton conductivity is at x=0.2. The activation energies of the proton conductivity are between 0.42-0.47 eV and 0.68-0.82 eV in the bulk and grain boundary, respectively.The dense and uniform BYZ thin films of 140-200 nm in thickness were obtained by co-sputtering (M1) and 2-step sputtering (M2) techniques. The XRD patterns of M1-BYZ thin films show that the concentration of Y is increased with the increasing DC power of the Y target. phase segregation is observed in the M1-BYZ files, while the YSZ phase segregation appears in the M2-BYZ thin films. The conductivities of the BYZ thin films are about 100 times than those of the pellet samples. This high conductivity may be caused by microstructure, grain size, impedance measurement, impurities, and ionic conduction mechanism.

title: Comparative efficacy and safety of pitavastatin 1 MG once daily dose versus atorvastatin 10 MG once daily dose in outpatients with hypercholesterolemia

description: Objectives: To compare the efficacy and safety of pitavastatin 1 mg once daily with atorvastatin 10 mg once daily in terms of: (1) serum lipids, hsCRP, and fibrinogen alteration, (2) the percentage of patients who achieved their LDL-C goals according to NCEP ATP III guidelines, (3) adverse event rates, and (4) annual cost of drug treatment. Methods: A randomized, open-label, parallel study was conducted during November, 2008 to May, 2009 at outpatient department, Phramongkutklao Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. One hundred patients were randomly assigned equally into the pitavastatin 1 mg once daily group and atorvastatin 10 mg once daily group for 8 weeks. Data were assessed using laboratory data (12-hour fasting blood), physical examination, and patients’ interviews. Results: Of 100 patients enrolled, 98 patients completed the study. There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics between groups except serum AST level. Although, mean AST in pitavastatin group was statistically higher than atorvastatin group but there was no clinically significant difference between groups. Pitavastatin 1 mg once daily reduced LDL-C and TC from baseline lower than atorvastatin 10 mg once daily (37.37% vs. 45.75%, p&lt;0.001 for LDL-C and 27.55% vs. 32.31%, p=0.005 for TC), but there was no significant difference in percent TG, HDL-C, hsCRP, and fibrinogen change between groups (p&gt;0.05). The percentage of patients who achieved their LDL-C goals was not significantly different between pitavastatin and atorvastatin group (74% vs. 84%, p=0.220). In addition, the number of patients who experienced adverse events was not significantly different between groups (p&gt;0.05). Annual cost of drug treatment in pitavastatin 1 mg once daily group was lower than atorvastatin 10 mg once daily group by 40.51% (5,856.00 baht vs. 14,457.00 baht, respectively). Conclusions: Although pitavastatin 1 mg once daily dose reduced TC and LDL-C lower than atorvastatin 10 mg once daily dose, but the percentage of patients who achieved their LDL-C goals was not significantly different between groups. Moreover, pitavastatin 1 mg once daily is an alternative regimen for cost saving than atorvastatin 10 mg once daily.

title: A non-linear semi-supervised learning framework for distance metric learning

description: This dissertation consists of two main contributions. The first contribution focuses on developing a new framework of kernelizing Mahalanobis distance learners. The new KPCA trick framework offers several practical advantages over the classical kernel trick framework, e.g. no mathematical formulas and no reprogramming are required for a kernel implementation, a way to speed up an algorithm is provided with no extra work, the framework avoids troublesome problems such as singularity. Rigorous representer theorems in countably-infinite dimensional spaces are given to validate our framework. Furthermore, unlike previous works which always apply brute force methods to select a kernel, we derive a kernel alignment formula based on quadratic programming which can efficiently construct an appropriate kernel for a given dataset. In the second contribution, we present a general framework of semi-supervised dimensionality reduction for manifold learning which naturally generalizes existing supervised and unsupervised learning frameworks which apply the spectral decomposition. Algorithms derived under our framework are able to employ both labeled and unlabeled examples and are able to handle complex problems where data form separate clusters of manifolds. Our framework offers simple views, explains relationships among existing frameworks and provides further extensions which can improve existing algorithms.

title: Effect of curcumin on leukocyte-endothelium interaction in rats with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs induced peptic ulcer

description: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs induce gastric injury. Curcumin, the active ingredient of Curcuma longa Linn., is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammation. The present study determined the possible mechanism that curcumin could attenuate gastric injury induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups. Control group was fed olive oil 0.5 ml 30 minute prior to 5% NaHCO⁻₃ 1 ml at time 0th, 4th hr. NSAIDs group was fed olive oil 0.5 ml 30 minute prior to indomethacin (150 mg/kg BW day twice day) dissolved in 5% NaHCO⁻₃ 1 ml at time 0th, 4th hr. Pretreatment group was fed curcumin 200 mg/kg BW dissolved in olive oil 0.5 ml 30 minute prior to indomethacin 150 mg/kg BW dissolved in 5% NaHCO⁻₃ 1 ml at time 0th, 4th hr. After 8th hours 30 min, the leukocyte adherence of post-capillary venule in stomach was studied by intravital fluorescence microscopy then rats were sacrificed. The serum and stomach samples were collected at the end of the study. The stomach histopathology in indomethacin group showed multiple erosions with mild to moderate inflammation. Serum of ICAM-1 level and leukocyte-endothelium interaction increased significantly when compared with control group. Pretreatment with curcumin group resulted in decreasing the elevation serum of ICAM-1 level and leukocyte-endothelium interaction. In conclusion, curcumin could attenuate gastric injury induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs through the reduction of ICAM-1 level and leukocyte-endothelium interaction of gastric microcirculation.
