title: Development of determination methods for food pathogen Vibrio papahaemolyticus by detecting quorum sensing signals

description: This study aimed to develop the methods for V.parahaemolyticus determination based on its AHL production property. The first two experiments were the development of methods for AHL determination by colorimetry method, and evaluation of the method efficiency by validation following USFDA guideline. The methods including AHL extraction and determination of AHL coloring complex by spectrophotometry (λmax= 520), called Procedure A, and determination of AHL existing in broth media without performing extraction step called Procedure B, were developed for AHL determination. The efficiency of both methods were not significantly different. Based on statistical analysis of validation parameters, both methods were accurate, precise and selective for AHL determination. Method sensitivity evaluation showed that, minimal AHL concentration could be detected by either procedure was 30 µM. These methods could detect AHL produced from V.parahaemolyticus cultured in NB containing minimal population approximately 6 logCFU/ml. However, the Procedure B was selected for the further works because it was more rapid and less laborious. The influences of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on AHL production properties were investigated using colorimetry (Procedure B) and HPLC analysis. It was found that strains, cultivation times and cultivation conditions could not influence on both quality and quantity of AHL produced from V.parahaemolyticus. Interestingly, 8% NaCl in cultural media could induce V.parahaemolyticus to produce 28 folds larger amount of AHL than the other factors, whereas it had not influence on AHL quality. Therefore, AHL which was 3-hydroxy-C4-HSL could be one of the V.parahaemolyticus identity. Finally, Procedure B and 8% NaCl peptone water as an enrichment selective media for growing V.parahaemolyticus and inducing its AHL production were investigated. It was found that this methodology could determine V.parahaemolyticus starting at 2 logCFU/ml within 20 hours both in single and co-cultured with other bacteria. Therefore, this new strategy could be an alternative for a simple and rapid identification of V.parahaemolyticus.

title: A comparative study between Thai and Japanese workers on motivation and job satisfaction in relation to productivity enhancement

description: There are a lot of differences between Thailand and Japan. Both people have different culture and background. However, there are many factories of Japanese companies in Thailand and they work together. Questionnaire was enforced to analyze their differences about job satisfaction and motivation in both countries. Selected company is a Japanese manufacturing company which has factories in Thailand, too. All questions were based on the the Herzberg's motivator-hygiene model and considered well by related managers. All scores of answers were calculated and compared by T-test. Main respondents were chosen at random and many of them were young people who have some experiences in manufacturing companies. The results were different from the Herzberg's model and results of Thai people and Japanese people were also different. Thai people focus on working environment, especially salary. On the other hand, Japanese people focus on not only working environment but also working contents. Human relationships and working contents play important roles for Japanese people. The opportunities which both people work together are increasing now. Japanese people are focusing on Southeast Asia. If they can understand each other more and more, they can enjoy working and get good results of works.

title: A comparative analysis of English feature articles in magazines published in Thailand and Britain : linguistic aspects

description: This research aims at discussing distinctive characteristics of Thai English in terms of noun modifiers and sentence constructions, in comparison with one native variety: British English. Based on the concepts of world Englishes and nativisation, distinctive characteristics of Thai English can be explained as transfers from Thai language, culture, and communication norms. Data used in the analysis are feature articles taken from English language magazines published in Thailand and in Britain. 28 English articles written by Thai writers are collected from Thai English magazines and 28 English articles written by native speakers are collected from British English magazines. The analysis is done in two levels: quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis. In the first step, frequencies of occurrence of all types of noun modifiers and sentence constructions in Thai English corpus and British English corpus are compared using chi square statistics. The test signifies that a high number of noun postmodifiers and complex sentences are distinctive characteristics of Thai English. Furthermore, findings from the qualitative analysis show that the use and the construction of noun postmodifiers and complex sentences in Thai English distinctively differ from those in British English. Noun postmodifiers are generally used as language embellishment. Clausal postmodifiers, complement clauses and adverbial clauses are important causes of the high frequency of complex sentences. In addition, noun postmodifiers and complex sentences in Thai English have longer and more complicated constructions than those in British English. All distinctive characteristics of Thai English can be properly explained as transfer from Thai language system, culture, and communication norms. This information provides evidence showing nativisation of English in Thai context. Therefore, the existence of Thai English as a variety of world Englishes, to some extent, can be claimed since Thai English can express its unique identity, while at the same time, still maintain intelligibility in international communication.

title: Nonlinear adaptive control for continuous stirred tank reactor

description: A continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is a type of reactors used commonly in industrial processing. It has inherently nonlinear and complex dynamic behavior and therefore it is difficult to handle with a linear controller. In this research, a nonlinear adaptive control approach is developed based on generic model control (GMC) with online adaptation of its tuning parameters. An extended Kalman filter has been incorporated to the control approach in order to determine unknown/uncertain parameters. The performance of the designed controller has been evaluated in two cases: disturbance changes and plant/model mismatches. The simulation results have shown that the nonlinear adaptive control provides good control performance in both cases. Moreover, this controller is found to be better than the GMC and conventional Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller in all cases.

title: Preparation of silver nanoparticle thin films for sensing applications

description: Silver nanoparticles were prepared by the reduction of silver nitrate with sodium borohydride in the presence of a polyelectrolyte acting as a capping agent. Different polyelectrolytes were used including poly(methacrylic acid, sodium salt), poly(acrylic acid, sodium salt), poly(4-styrene sulfonic acid-co-maleic acid, sodium salt), sodium alginate and humic acid. Their concentrations were varied from 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 mM. All prepared solutions exhibited a strong plasmon band at the wavelength of 400 nm confirming the formation of silver nanoparticles. Layer-by-layer technique was used to deposit silver nanoparticles into thin films. The growth of these films was affected by the dipping time, the dilution and the ionic strength of the solution. Nanoindentation measurements revealed that the film hardness decreased when lower concentrations of capping agents were used in the preparation of the silver nanoparticles. Sensing properties of silver nanoparticles were then investigated in the forms of solution and thin film. It was found that only nanoparticles prepared in the presence of 0.1 mM of capping agents could be used for organic compound sensing. It was also observed that at this concentration, alginate-capped silver nanoparticle solution had the highest sensitivity to organic compounds while its thin film displayed a strong color shift from yellow in water to red in methanol and ethanol. The best detection was achieved when the ratio of alginate:silver nitrate was 0.1:1. In the case of herbicide sensing, it was found that the color of humic acid-capped silver nanoparticle solution changed from yellow to orange red and purple with increasing herbicide concentration. Furthermore, an improvement of the sensing sensitivity of the film could be done by the modification of film surface with a layer of polycationic polymer.

title: Remittance flows from Thailand to mawlamyine, mon state, Myanmar

description: The focus of this study is on the development impact of informal remittances sent by Myanmar migrant workers from Thailand to Myanmar. Methodologically, this is a qualitative research based on case studies. Information had been collected by doing field research with in-depth interviews to remittances senders, recipients and remittance service providers in Bangkok, Mae Sot in Thailand and Mawlamyine in Myanmar. Literature review was useful for doing analysis on the field data in theoretical approach. Matching case studies between migrants in Thailand and their household left behind give a portrait of remittance channel started from the hands of senders to the door of recipients. Firstly, determining factors on the propensity and the remittance sending behaviors of migrant workers had been explored to identify the capacity of sending remittances. Secondly, this study tried to portray clear picture of the whole remittance service operating system and the role of the players who are involving in various stages of the money transfer process as middle man between senders and the recipients. It highlighted the choice of remittance service by the migrant workers, types of services they are being offered and the costs and risks involving in informal money transfer system. Thirdly, the way the recipients utilized the remittances has been assessed to identify its impact on the economic development of recipients. The intensity of poverty and the lack of favorable investment climate are affecting the expenditure pattern of recipient household. Findings on the saving, spending and investment behaviors of the recipients showed that the larger volume of remittances is flowing into the unproductive expenditure rather than productive investment. This study raises a set of policy adjustment for Myanmar and the host country. It also points out other areas for further research relevant to remittances of Myanmar migrant workers and its development contribution.

title: Anthropometric measurements of knee joints in Thai population: correlation to the sizing of current knee prostheses

description: Anthropometric data on distal femoral condyle , proximal tibiae and patellar of 200 knees in 200 Thai subjects were measured using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The mean resected femoral anterior-posterior (AP) length and femoral medial-lateral (ML) width of all subjects were 45.43 mm and 64.06 mm, respectively. The mean resected femoral AP length and femoral ML width of males were 48.53 mm and 70.15 mm respectively. The mean resected femoral AP length and femoral ML width of females were 43.32 mm and 59.91 mm respectively. The mean tibial AP length and tibial ML width of all subjects were 46.04 mm and 68.7 mm respectively. The mean tibial AP length and tibial ML width of males were 49.49 mm and 73.6 mm respectively. The mean tibial AP length and tibial ML width of females were 43.23 mm and 64.95 mm respectively. The mean patellar thickness, SI length and ML width of all subjects were 18.95 mm, 35 mm and 40.63 mm respectively. The mean patellar thickness, SI length and ML width of males were 20.42 mm, 36.43 mm and 43.02 mm respectively. The mean patellar thickness, SI length and ML width of females were 17.7 mm, 32.97 mm and 38.64 mm respectively. The differences in the knee joint structure between males and females were significant (p&lt;0.0001). All parameters of the distal femoral condyle, the proximal tibia and the patellar were compared to the size of the total knee prosthesis (femoral component, tibial component and patellar component) with 4 prosthetic systems which currently used in Thailand; NexGen (Zimmer, Warsaw, Indiana), P.F.C. Sigma (Depuy-Johnson and Johnson, Warsaw, Indiana), Genesis II (Smith&nephew), Scorpio tm (Stryker). For the distal femoral condyle, the Scorpio tm systems were suitable for Thai male population. The NexGen and Sigma systems were suitable for Thai female population. For the proximal tibia, the Sigma and the Scorpio tm systems were suitable for Thai male and female population. This finding shows that an implant component suitable for using in Western population may not be suitable for Thai population. The results of the project could provide fundamental data for the design of knee prostheses suitable for the Thai population.

title: A prevalence study of infections by different serotypes and genotypes of dengue virus in different blood and body fluid compartments of acutely-infected individual patient

description: In this present research, we performed a prevalence study of infections by different serotypes and genotypes of dengue virus (DENV) in different blood and body fluid compartments of acutely-individual patients by using nested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (nested RT-PCR) and sequencing. 95 dengue patients were enrolled and confirmed by standard criteria of enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and nested RT-PCR. All specimens from all dengue patients were serotype by using multiplex RT-PCR. We detected serotypes of dengue virus from 85 of 95 patients. We found both single and multiple infections. We found dengue serotype 1 (DEN-1) at 24.61% (16 of 85), serotypes 2 (DEN-2) at 9.23% (6 of 85), serotypes 3 (DEN-3) at 16.93% (11 of 85), and serotype 4 (DEN-4) at 49.23% (32 of 85). Moreover, 23.53% or 20 of 85 patients were multiple infections, a proportion that is more than previously reported. We found the rate of double infections with DEN-1 and DEN-4 at 25% (5 of 20), which was the same as those of DEN-2 and DEN-4. DEN-1 with DEN-2 was 10% (2 of 20), DEN-2 with DEN-3 15% (2 of 20), and DEN-1 with DEN-3 8.7% (2 of 23). In addition, we also detected multiple infections with 3 serotypes of dengue virus. We found that triple infections with DEN-1, DEN-2, and DEN-4 were 10% (2 of 23), and also one patient with DEN-1, DEN-3, and DEN-4. Next, all specimens were genotyped by DNA sequencing. We found that single-serotype dengue isolates from several compartments of an acutely-infected individual patient on the same day are of a single genotype and strain. Isolates from the following days, however, demonstrated selected mutations. A correlation between single or multi-serotype infections and clinical severity cannot be demonstrated from the present study.
