A DESIGN GUIDELINE FOR PROTOTYPE APPLICATION OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AT KING MONGKUT'S INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY LADKRABANG.

Abstract

This research aims to study the guidelines and develop a prototype of an application for public transport users to plan their journey and increase safety in using different types of public transport to travel to King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. The objectives are as follows: 1) To study the factors of user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design that affect the users of the application for using public transport. 2) To study the needs of users of public transport applications who must travel to King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. 3) To present the guidelines for designing the user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) and to produce a prototype of the application for using public transport to travel to King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. The research includes a review of the literature on User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design, as well as a look at examples of public transportation applications and pick-up sites near King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. This study is based on qualitative research. There are examples of employing relevant applications during the interview. The target audience is students aged 18 to 35 who will give prototypes for application development to satisfy their requirements. Provide information that is actually useful to users. The research results found that the public transport vehicles that the target group used the most were the Songthaew (the pick-up truck), train, airport rail link, motorcycle taxi, taxi, and bus, respectively. Users were concerned about various safety issues and wanted to design features to increase safety and confidence in using public transport vehicles for students, such as sending locations to relevant officials in the event of an emergency or when assistance was needed, and important information about public transport vehicles that students needed, such as calculating prices, calculating travel times, bus schedules, official and clear pick-up and drop-off points, bus routes, driver registration, suggestions or route recommendations, and the time of public transport vehicles arriving at the point where users were waiting, etc. The guidelines for designing the User Experience (UX) were presented from the analysis of the target group's data, which was a prioritization of the features of the menu for recording frequently used routes, a menu showing nearby pick-up points, a menu for searching for routes and selecting using various user constraints, such as calculating travel prices or travel times, and a menu that could set fonts and color modes to support a variety of users. This was because the study of user needs for fonts found an equal demand for Thai fonts with looped (Looped font) and without looped (Loopless font), as well as a study of the application's color requirements, which required both light and dark colors to be displayed in approximately equal amounts. This includes the design of the user interface (User Interface) by designing symbols that allow users to access the desired information quickly without confusion.

Aggregated gallic acid-modified platinum nanoparticles as colorimetric sensor for tannic acid detection in beverages based on displacement phenomenon

A new colorimetric assay for the rapid detection of tannic acid in beverage samples based on displacement phenomenon of aggregated gallic acid-modified platinum nanoparticles is developed for the first time. PtNPs were functionalized with gallic acid, promoting the formation of the green-hued aggregated nanoparticles. While colorimetry offers a rapid method for identifying tannic acid, challenges remain in sensitivity and accuracy of detection on the PtNPs colorimetric probe, particularly in the presence of anthocyanin interferences. To address this, we developed a sample preparation method to degrade anthocyanin in beverages. Tannic acid was easily displaced onto the gallic acid-coated PtNPs surfaces, causing dispersion and resulting in a visible color change from green to orange−brown. Under the optimal conditions, the colorimetric sensor exhibited a linear response in the range of 1−2,000 µmol L−1 (R2 = 0.9991). The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were found at 0.02 and 0.09 µmol L−1, respectively. The proposed sensor expressed superior selectivity over other interfering substances and demonstrated excellent precision with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.00%−3.36%. More importantly, recoveries ranging from 95.0−104.7% were obtained, indicating the capability of proposed colorimetric sensor to detect tannic acid rapidly and accurately in real beverage samples.

Graphene Oxide Composite Membrane for Wastewater Treatment

This research focuses on the fabrication of graphene oxide (GO) composite membranes using the Phase-Inversion Method, which transforms polymers from liquid to solid through phase separation. This process creates a porous membrane structure, making it highly adaptable, cost-effective, and suitable for wastewater treatment, separation processes, and industrial filtration applications. Graphene oxide, with its nano-layered structure, offers excellent molecular sieving properties, high water permeability, and chemical and mechanical stability, making it an ideal additive for membrane fabrication. The GO-based membrane demonstrates efficient removal of nanoparticles, heavy metal ions (Pb²⁺, Cr⁶⁺, Hg²⁺), organic pollutants, and microorganisms while exhibiting antifouling properties and high hydrophilicity due to oxygen-functional groups. Applications of this membrane include industrial wastewater treatment, desalination, and the removal of pharmaceutical contaminants, such as antibiotics and hormones. The incorporation of GO enhances membrane performance, providing a sustainable and energy-efficient solution for water purification.
