title: A study of factors influencing the purchase of high-sugar-content beverages at tea-and-coffee stores in Thailand

description: This project is a contemporary topic in applied marketing that focuses on a health issue that is important to Thailand. The purpose of this research is to identify the characteristically differences among three segments who prefer different sweetness level in beverage, to identify the critical factors on purchase intention of high-sugar-content beverage in tea-and-coffee stores, and to determine the appropriate marketing strategies to boost healthier diet by reducing the level of sugar consumption.This proposed topic is important to Thailand because the provision on a better understanding of the consumer insight based on their demographic factors, attitudes, purchase intention, behaviors and external influences would benefit the stakeholders in the beverage industry and public sectors to make more effective impact to alter the consumer’s decision on sugary consumption which would lead to a declining risk in obesity and diabetes. As for the marketing managers, they could use consumer insight obtained from this study to predict the future healthy trends and be prompted for the coming change in consumer mindset. Results show that the majority of population prefers the less sweet beverage. This group is heavily influenced by the external factors and highly aware of solutions to overcome the consumption of sugary beverage. The second largest segment prefers the standard sweet beverage. This group is moderately influenced by the external factors and unlikely to cope with negative health impacts. The smallest segment prefers the nearly non-sweet beverage. This group is lightly influenced by the external factors and highly aware of health issues and solutions to overcome the consumption of sugary beverage. Results also show that three critical factors that influences the consumption of high-sugar-content beverage are (1) News & Coping Method Conscious (2) Peers & News Influences and (3) Health Conscious.

title: The effect of The 4-week duration of the unilateral postero-anterior cervical mobilization in the treatment of unilateral neck pain

description: This study investigated the effect of the ipsilateral unilateral postero-anterior (IUPA) cervical mobilization technique for treating unilateral neck pain over 4-week treatment course. Fifteen patients (1 male and 14 females, aged 24-56 years) completed the treatment course. The patients received IUPA cervical mobilization twice a week for 4 weeks. The measurement of pain intensity and cervical range of motion (ROM) took place every visit while the Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores were measured only at baseline and pre-treatment of the 8th visit. The global perceived effect (GPE) was measured at pre-treatment of the 5th and the 8th visits. One-way repeated measures analysis of variance and post-hoc analysis demonstrated significant improvement in pain at rest and on worst movement (p &lt; 0.05). Paired t-test demonstrated significant difference in the NDI scores between baseline and the 8th visit (p &lt; 0.001). Approximately 73 percent of patients reported their GPE as improved. No statistical significant differences in cervical ROM of each visit from baseline were found (p &gt; 0.05). The results suggest that the IUPA cervical mobilization technique is effective in decreasing pain and disability while improving GPE in the patients with unilateral neck pain. The clinical effect on pain is cumulative with the subsequent applications of the mobilization. However, it is not effective in improving cervical ROM.

title: Direct benzaldehyde synthesis via the partial oxidation reaction of toluene in a bubble reactor

description: This research studied a new route for the direct synthesis of benzaldehyde from toluene and hydrogen peroxide in a bubble reactor using titanium silicalite-1 catalysts modified with different amount of Al. The reaction is carried out at atmospheric pressure. Parameters investigated are amount of aluminium, crystallization time, and hydrogen peroxide concentration. The study found that all modified catalysts yield benzaldehyde as the major product with a small amount of o-cresol and p-cresol as by products. The experimental results also show that Al added into TS-1 promotes the formation of benzaldehyde and suppresses the formation of cresols. Too much Al added, however, will increase the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide which results in lower reaction products formed.

title: Oseltamivir-resistance detection of avian influenza H5N1 and molecular genetics of influenza A virus in Thailand

description: Severe respiratory illness can be caused by several factors. The important factor is viral infection especially influenza A virus infection. Influenza A virus can cause severe respiratory illness in every age which makes patient has high fever, cough, sneeze including pneumonia particulary in children or elderly people. In this thesis, the molecular genetics of influenza A virus in Thailand were studied. There were influenza A virus subtype H1N1, H1N2, H3N2 and also H5N1 which spread among avian species in Thailand since 2004 and cross species to infect human. The studies consisted of firstly, the H5N1 influenza virus from human plasma was isolated and proved that the virus can replicate in the cell culture experiment. Secondly, Oseltamivir resistant detection of H5N1 influenza virus was designed using 2 specific TaqMan probes. This method can detect the mixture of both wild type and oseltamivir resistant virus which could be the advantage for monitoring the change of virus in patient during Oseltamivir treatment. Thirdly, the 2 distinct genotypes, genotype Z and V H5N1 influenza virus spreading in Thailand were identified and characterized which showed the difference in the sensitivity of Amantadine drug. Fourthly, influenza A virus, H1N1 and H3N2, infants and children who admitted to Chulalongkorn memorial hospital since 2006-2007 were detected. The sequences of HA and NA gene were characterized for comparing the receptor binding and antigenic site of each subtype. In addition, they were compared with H1N1 and H3N2 vaccine strain from Northern hemisphere 2007-2008, the finding showed the isolated subtypes were not different from vaccine strain. As a final, subtypes of swine influenza virus were isolated. Three subtypes, H1N1, H1N2 and H3N2, are described. Phylogenetic analysis of the SIV hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes shows individual clusters with swine, human or avian influenza virus at various global locations.

title: Phytoremediation of diesel contaminated soil by jack bean Canavalia sp. Inoculated with rhizobium and arbuscular mycorrhiza

description: Phytoremediation is the outstanding way to remediate the diesel contaminated soil for both environmental and economic reasons but there is a major concern about the low bioavailability. Therefore the use of symbiosis of plants and microorganisms in order to stimulate the phytoremediation should be considered. In this study, phytoremediation of diesel contaminated soil by Canavalia sp. inoculated with rhizobium and arbuscular mycorrhiza ( AM) was established. The AM fungi were isolated and cultivated in sorghums for inoculums production. Canavalia sp. was biostimulated in non contaminated soil with only AM at 10, 20, 50 or 100 spores or 10 g rhizobium or the mixture of both microorganisms. The results after three months inoculation showed that the presence of AM and rhizobium in soil significantly stimulated the growth of Canavalia sp. and increased % AM infection. Analysis of diesel contaminated soil after treating with Canavaria sp. co-inoculated with 100 spores AM with 10 g rhizobium resulted in the decrease of diesel contaminated in soil. In addition, hydrocarbon products of diesel oil were also detected in plant shoots but very little in roots. This phenomenon proved that the phytoaccumulation was occurred and played a role in diesel contaminated removal of soil.

title: Catalytic study of cobalt modified titanium silicalites-1 in the hydroxylation of toluene to cresol by hydrogen peroxide

description: This research investigated the hydroxylation of toluene by hydrogen peroxide in a bubble reactor using titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) catalysts modified with Co. The reaction is carried out at 70C and atmospheric pressure. Parameters investigated are hydrogen peroxide concentration, appropriate amount of cobalt, crystallization time, and effects of treatment (washing with nitric acid solution). The experimental results show that the addition of too much cobalt salt before catalyst crystallization results in the separation of cobalt cation from the catalyst crystal structure. Such excess cobalt will form a cobalt compound which can be washed off with nitric acid solution. The washing of such cobalt compound can increase the catalytic activity of the catalyst. Reaction study shows that the formation of cresol prefers a low hydrogen peroxide concentration. At 3wt% hydrogen peroxide concentration, selectivity toward cresol up to 100% can be achieved. At a too high hydrogen peroxide concentration, benzaldehyde becomes the main reactor product.

title: Applications of near infrared spectroscopy technique for quality control of pharmaceutical ingredient blending

description: The blending of Active Pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and more ingredients affects the uniformity and product quality. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has become an interesting analytical technique to control the uniformity and product quality. This technique is a particularly more powerful method than high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for rapid and non-invasive analysis of powder blends. The objective of this study is to apply NIRS technique to control the quality of blend homogeneity. The NIR calibration model was performed by Partial Least Squares (PLS) model. The PLS calibration showed a strong correlation with the reference values and great accuracy were demonstrated, i.e., for API without lubricant set correlation coefficient (R²) = 0.9980, standard error of prediction (SEP) = 2.49, and for API with lubricant set R² = 0.9980 SEP = 2.24. The paired t-test at the 95% confidence level did not indicate any differences between the validation results by the NIRS and the method as specified in USP30 in powder blending process. From the experiment, the suitable mixing time of API and disintegrant were determined at 20 minutes and the mixing time of lubricant was not less than 3 minute after the homogeneity of API and disintegrant. The NIRS technique has potential to reduce the production time and cost in the future which have to be develop for on-line process control.

title: Reforming reaction of methane by carbon dioxide over supported nickel catalysts

description: Carbon dioxide reforming of methane was carried out on supported nickel catalysts. The effect of different types of supports on the activity of nickel catalysts was investigated. Two types of supports, i.e. alumina in different phases and zeolite Y were adopted in this study. It has been found that 7%Ni/50%χ-γ-alumina exhibited the highest conversion as well as the highest coke resistance of all the catalysts studied. When compared between the mixed phase alumina and zeolite Y supported nickel catalysts, the former was found to possess both higher activity and stability than the letter. In addition, the comparison of mixed phase alumina supported catalyst with the commercial silica-magnesium oxide supported one was also made for carbon dioxide reforming of methane at the same conditions. Though the commercial silica-magnesium oxide supported nickel catalyst exerted higher conversion than did the mixed phase alumina supported one; however, the mixed phase alumina supported catalyst still showed essentially better stability.

title: Trichloroethylene cometabolic degradation by Rrhodococcus sp. L4 induced with plant essential oils and their components

description: Contamination of soil and groundwater with trichloroethylene (TCE) has become an important problem because of its toxicity and persistence. Cometabolic degradation of TCE by toluene-degrading bacteria has the potential for being a cost-effective bioremediation technology. However, the application of toluene may pose environmental problems. In this study, several plant essential oils and their components were examined as alternative inducer for TCE cometabolic degradation in resting cells assay of a toluene-degrading bacterium, Rhodococcus sp. L4. Using the initial aqueous TCE concentration of 14 µM, lemon and lemongrass oil-grown cells were capable of 20% and 27 % TCE degradation, which were lower than that of toluene-grown cells (57 %). The ability of TCE degradation increased to 36% when the bacterium was induced with cumin oil. The induction of TCE-degrading enzymes was suggested to be due to the presence of citral, cumin aldehyde, cumene, and limonene in these essential oils. In particular, the efficiency of cumin aldehyde and cumene as inducers for TCE cometabolic degradation was similar to toluene. TCE transformation capacities (Tc) for these induced cells were between 9.4-15.1 µg of TCE mg cells-1. However, these induced cells were able to effectively stimulate TCE degradation only for a short period. Immobilization of Rhodococcus sp. L4 on plant materials rich in essential oils i.e. cumin seeds, orange peels and lemon grass leaves was believed to help producing and maintaining TCE-degrading enzyme. Of all materials, cumin seeds- immobilized cells were more effective to sustain TCE degradation as well as to protect the bacteria from high TCE concentrations. A maximum Tc of 60 µg of TCE mg cells-1 was found from the cumin seeds-immobilized cells. Moreover, the immobilized cells could be reused for TCE biodegradation after a reactivation in mineral salts medium for 12 hrs. Enzymatic study found that the activity of toluene dioxygenase (TDO) enzyme from Rhodococcus sp. L4 was decreased in the presence of TCE. However, TDO activity could be recovered after removing TCE from the system. The addition of cumene to enzymatic reactions could protect TDO enzyme inactivation. These findings supported the whole-cells and immobilization study, in which the repeated addition of essential oil component i.e. cumene, cumin aldehyde, limonene and citral could maintain TCE-degrading activity of Rhodococcus sp. L4.

title: Thermomechanical properties of arylamine-based benzoxazine resins alloyed with epoxy resin

description: In this research, effects of addition of epoxy resin into various arylamine-based benzoxazine resins, i.e. aniline, m-toluidine, and 3,5-xylidine systems, which designated as BA-a, BA-mt, and BA-35x, respectively, have been investigated. Processing windows of BA-35x, BA-mt, and BA-a were found to be widened with the amount of the epoxy resin. Gel points of benzoxazine-epoxy resin mixtures can be well predicted by an Arrhenius equation e.g. the gel time of BA-35x alloyed with epoxy resin at composition 70:30 mass ratio can be estimated by t[subscript gel]=0.7012×10⁻⁷ exp(10.563/T). An addition of the epoxy to the polybenzoxazines increased the crosslinked density of the resulting polymer alloys which influenced their major properties. From dynamic mechanical analysis, T[subscript g] values obtained from the peaks of loss moduli of BA-a and BA-mt alloyed with epoxy resin were found to show a synergistic behavior with the maximum T[subscript g] value at the benzoxazine-epoxy composition of 80:20 mass ratio with the T[subscript g] values of 182℃ for BA-a and 213℃ for BA-mt systems. However, in the BA-35x and epoxy binary mixture, the decreasing trend in T[subscript g] from 241℃ to 223℃ with an addition of epoxy resin up to 40wt% was observed. In benzoxazine-epoxy polymer alloys based on m-toluidine, the degradation temperature at 5% weight loss was found to be the highest value among polybenzoxazine-epoxy alloys, i.e. at composition 80:20 mass ratio, T[subscript d] was found to be 357℃ for BA-mt system, 352℃ for BA-35x system, and 345℃ for BA-a system. In addition, the flexural strength and the flexural strain at break of all three binary systems were found to increase with increasing amount of the epoxy i.e. the flexural strength up to 182 MPa for BA-a/Epoxy at 60:40 mass ratio (compared with about 141 MPa of the neat BA-a) 161 MPa of BA-mt/Epoxy from 129 MPa of the neat BA-mt, and 155 MPa of BA-35x/Epoxy from 112 MPa of the neat BA-35x.
