title: Comparison of liquidus temperature of E-glass by uniform temperature method and heating stage microscope

description: Liquidus temperature (T[subscript L]) is a glass property that is difficult to determine or calculate. T[subscript L] of binary and ternary systems can be found in phase diagram but not available for multicomponent systems such an industrial glass. The furnace temperature control basing on an excess of T[subscript L] data from approximation will increase unnecessary energy used. In this work, series of glass in system of E-Glass and ECR-Glass were fabricated from chemical grade oxides. The effects of addition of alkali oxides (12 and 3 wt% of Na [subscript 2[O and K[subscript 2]O on T[subscript L] were study. T[subscript L] was measured using two different methods which were a uniform temperature method and heating stage microscope. The reference standard glass and standard aluminum were used to assess the accuracy of the furnace and the heating stage used respectively. It was found that T [subscript L] measured by the uniform temperature method was higher than that measured by heating stage about 115 degrees celsius. In addition, first order polynomial function was used to model an equation for predcting T [subscript L] relate to component concentrations. The major primary crystalline phases detected by optical microscope, XRD and SEM/EDX were wollastonite and anorthite. The study of effect of alkali oxides on T [subscript L] was noticed that K[subscript 2]O containing glasses tended to have higher T[subscript L] compared to Na[subscript 2]O containing glasses. Addition of alkali oxides led to crystallization of wollastonite crystals. T [subscript L] of industrial glass composition was 1085 degrees Celsius while the simulated glasses showed higher T [subscript L]. The variation0-1.3 wt% of iron oxide in this glass compositions showed the T [subcript L] tended to decrease slightly with increasing of concentration of iron oxide

title: Pointwise bound of SO(d,C) -invariant holomorphic functions which are square-integrable with respect to a gaussian measure

description: The Segal-Bargmenn space HL[superscript2] (C[superscript d], u[subscriptt]) has been extensively studied. Here, we consider the space HL[superscript2] (C[superscriptd], u[subscriptt]) [superscrptSO(d,C) consisting of all functions F in HL[superscript2](C[superscript d, u[subscript t]) which are invariant under the action of the complex special orthogonal group SO(d,C). It is a closed subspace of HL[superscript2] (C[superscript d], u[subscript t]), and hence is a Hilbert space. In this work, we establish a pointwise bound for a function in this space.

title: Theoretical study of keto-enol isomerization in H-ZSM-5 using DFT and oniom methods

description: Conversions of acetaldehyde to hydroxyethylene, acetone to 2-hydroxypropylene, butanone to 2-hydroxybutene, 2-pentanone to 2-hydroxypentene, 3-methyl-2-butanone to 2-hydroxy-3-methylbutene and acetophenone to 2-hydroxyphenylethylene catalyzed by H-ZSM-5 have been theoretically studied using quantum chemical methods. Geometry optimizations of species reacting with H-ZSM-5 using of 3T and 5T cluster models computed at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level and 50/3T and 72/3T cluster models computed at the ONIOM(B3LYP/6-31G(d):AM1) level have been carried out. Three steps of the reaction mechanism were found and thermodynamic properties of each reaction step and equilibrium constant of overall reaction have been obtained. The overall reaction of the conversion for all systems is endothermic.

title: Democracy in Thailand under Thai Rak Thai government

description: The general elections of 2001 and 2005, which led up to the eventual landslide victory of the Thai Rak Thai party, led by billionaire businessman Thaksin Shinawatra, offers the first chance to evaluate the latest Thai Constitution, and assess democracy in Thailand under the current government. In analysing the democratization process of Thailand, it is important to begin with the overthrow of the absolute monarchy in 1932. Since then, various constitution have been promulgated as the principle of the 'democratic' regime but also successive military dictatorships have reinforced the political hegemony of the ruling elite by creating a particular form of state identity linked to repression. Significant change to the Thai political system whch were the result of class struggle in the October 1973 and May 1992 uprisings, shows that the power of the state could only be countered by mass-based social movements. Therefore, the fundamental principles of democracy; political equality and popular participation, are only effective in conjunction with class politics from below. For this reason the democratic model used in this thesis places much importance of the existence of political space where movements can operate. This study finds that the 1997 constitution has diminished political choice by favouring large political parties such as Thai Rak Thai. "Independent bodies" created by this constitution; when not dominated by the ruling party also serve to demobilize popular participation by reducing the role of the people to passive voters. Finally the increasingly repressive measures used by the government have further reduced democratic space. Democracy has been diminished under the Thai Rak Thai government

title: The Localization of christianity in Bangkok protestant churches : a study on christian music

description: Despite prolonged and intensive Christian missionary efforts for the last 400 years, the religion lays claim to only about 2% of the population. One of the main reasons for the dismal failure is the foreignness of Christianity, where its Western forms -- hymns, buildings styles, pulpits and worship styles -- are all alien to Thai culture. However, with more Thai Christians starting local churches and taking over the leadership of the missionary-planted churches, as well as foreign missionaries becoming more aware of the cultural issues, attempts have been made at localizing Christianity in Thailand. Based on a questionnaire survey of 18 churches, participant-observation research at four selected churches, and in-depth interviews with church leaders, worship leaders, and songwriters, this thesis explores the range and extent of foreign influences on Christian music as well as the level of localization in the music used in Protestant churches in Bangkok. Research findings show that three-quarters of the songs sung during the Sunday worship service are translated, mainly from English. This suggests that Western influences remain prevalent in church culture, and have been noted in areas such as theology, musical instruments, and the definition of "good music". The author identifies four factors that affect localization of Christianity in Bangkok: the tension between tradition and modernity; the middle class, the emergence of Thai pop; and the concept of "Thainess". Hence, churches with a middle class congregation tend to try to portray a "modern" image by using music in the Western style, which could be either hymns or praise choruses. Conversely, churches which hearken back to "tradition" and want to show that it is possible to be both "Thai" and "Christian" are likely to use Thai cultural forms in the Sunday service. However, the use of Thai traditional tunes and instruments in church is not popular in Bangkok as it is likely to offend the urban sensibilities of the middle class, the main demographic of the city churches. Hence, the most suitable way to localize Christian music in Bangkok is perhaps, to borrow a phrase from one of the informants: Write Thai songs by Thai people with Thai experiences for Thai people -- but use the Western style of music.

title: Plant leaves and their associated bacteria for the degradation of PAH deposited on leaf surface

description: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are priority pollutants that continuously generated by the incomplete combustion of organic fuels from traffic and industrial processes. Interest in using plant leaves as a mechanism for biodegradation of atmospheric PAHs is motivated by the fact that leaves are exposed to the atmosphere and microbes are the most abundant inhabitants of the phyllosphere. In leaves, PAHs become potentially available to microbial degradation as it accumulates on plants surfaces by gaseous and particle-bound deposition. The objectives of this study were to identify an ornamental plant that contained high number of PAH-degrading bacteria and to apply this plant and its associated bacteria to reduce the deposited PAHs. The study used phenanthrene as a modeled PAS. Six plant species were analyzed; namely Wrightia religiosa Benth. ex Kurz, Pereskia grandiflora Haw., Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L., Excoecaria cochinchinensis Lour. Var. cochinchinensis, Ixora sp., and Hymenocallis littoralis Salisb. Their leaf samples were collected from two locations in Bangkok that had high and low amounts of air pollutants. The concentrations of phenanthrene-degrading bacteria on leaves were ranged from 3.5x10[superscript 4] to 1.95x10[superscript 7] CFU/g. There was no significant relationship between the number of bacteria and location, moisture content, or wax content of the leaves and thus colonization of phenanthrene-degrading bacteria probable depended on other plant characteristics. From the six species of plants screened, the leaves of the Ixora sp. Showed the highest concentration of phenanthrene-degrading bacteria. Further laboratory studies were carried out using Ixora sp. to determine the rate of phenanthrene degradation by indigenous bacteria and added Sphingomonas sp. P2, a known PAH-degrader. The results indicated that the leaf associated bacteria effectively reduced the amount of phenanthrene that accumulated on the leaves. In addition, the augmentation with Sphingomonas sp. P2 increased the rate of phenanthrene degradation. This was detected along with a rapid increase in number of phenanthrene-degrading bacteria on the augmented leaves. The survival of the augmented bacteria on leaves, however, requires further investigation. The study also isolated four leaf indigenous bacteria and found that they could completely degrade 100 ppm of phenanthrene in liquid medium within 9 days. Finally, using 16S rDNA gene sequencing, one of the indigenous bacteria was identified as Deinococcus sp. The application of Ixora sp. and their associated bacteria would be a natural and environmentally friendly approach to reduce the amount of atmospheric PAHs.

title: Molluscicidal activity of saponins from tea seeds Camellia oleifera Abel. on golden apple snails Pomacea canaliculata Lamarck

description: The molluscicidal activity of tea seed extract from Camellia oleifera Abel. against golden apple snails Pomacea canaliculata Lamarck. Showed the LC[supscript 50] values at 6.79 ppm after 24 h. Bioassay-directed fractionation of C. oleifera Abel extract resulted in the isolation of saponins group designated D4 with molecular weight between 1226-1338 Dalton. The bioassay data revealed that at 0.66 ppm D4 had molluscicidal activity with 43.44% mortality against the golden apple snails. In addition, the quantitative analysis of D4 was performed by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography with UV detector. Optimal chromatographic conditions are C18 column (250x4.60 mm), 40% methanol-0.1% acetic acid in water as mobile phase, flow rate 0.,80 mL/min, wave length detection at 235 mm. Satisfactory validation parameter was obtained: standard calibration was constructed from 10-200 ppm (R [superscript 2]&gt;0.9990). Extract of fruit pericarp from C. oleifera Abel. And extract of commercial tea seed granule was analyzed with HPLC method. The amount of D4 in saponin crude extract from tea seed cake, CU1-MeOH, CU1-H[subscript 2]O, FP-MeOH and FP-H[subscript 2]O were found to be 6.82, 0.43, 0.25 and 1.07 % w/w, respectively.

title: Applying CIECAM02 to images with unknown reference white

description: The aim of this thesis was to investigate the means of applying CIECAM02 color appearance model to images with unknown reference whites. The investigation was done by estimating reference whites of digital images using four different models: white patch (WP), gray world (GW), the CIE illuminant D65 (D65) and the white point of the CRT monitor (CRT), which were tested to be used as the parameter in CIECAM02. There were three original images: "Fruits", "Wine", and "Orchids". Images reproduced via CIECAM02 with suitable reference whites would give good color matches to the original images. The result showed that there were not the reference-white estimation models that gave the best result in all cases. WP performed consistently for all images but it did not give a good result. GW gave good color matches for achromatic images such as Wine but did not work well for colorful images like Fruits. D65 provided the best result for the colorful image but did not give a good result in other cases. Overall, the white point of the testing monitor (CRT) was recommended because its performance was less dependent on images and yielded a high accuracy in all cases

title: The Survival of the Joe Louis Theater : theater management

description: To examine the types of theater management that have contributed to the survival of the Joe Louis Theater in the last decade and other factors that have enabled the theater to thrive in difficult time. Hun lakhon lek, a Thai variant of doll-puppetry, emerged about a century ago. Joe Louis Theater stages regular performances of hun lakhon lek in an urban area and through domestic and international recognition it has established a strong foothold. The puppet theater in the past and to a certain extent in the present gave performances at occasions such as funerals. Unlike these ritual ties between the theater and the audience, the Joe Louis Theater has established a commercial relation with people. The research undertaken reveals that the Joe Louis Theater uses modern theater management methods. A small family troupe has come to operate like a company. A formal hierarchical structure is found in this organization. This organization consists of a board oftrustees, and arts manager and staff that emphasizes the commercial aspect. A strategy, molded by this organization, is practiced in the four P's: place, promotions, price and productions. It has urban, popular and commercial characteristics. Located them in Suan Lum Night Bazaar, which is a shopping and entertainment complex, Joe Louis Theater survives as a part of it. While modern management methods are used in the Joe Louis Theater, there still exists traditional way of management, based on family members. Particularly, among puppeteers, the master-apprentice relationship plays a significant role. The findings of this research suggest that the management methods used by the Joe Louis Theater are a mixture of modern and traditional methods. However, this mixture is changing. Modern theater management methods used by the Joe Louis Theater have created new cultural and commercial relations with people, and thereby ensured its survival in a rapidly changing world. Its presentation style and well-trained puppeteers have also enabled it to survive and thrive in difficult times, thus enabling the art form of hun lakhon lek, their artistic creations and their love for the art to survive.
