The study investigated the extraction of astaxanthin-rich oil from shrimp waste biomass, a valuable byproduct rich in functional lipids and proteins. Wet rendering has long been an inexpensive method to extract oil, however the high temperatures and long cooking times negatively affect the amount of astaxanthin. On the other hand, the study looked into employing deep eutectic solvent as a green solvent and combining a wet rendering process with high-shear homogenization and high-frequency ultrasound-assisted extractions. DES-UAE at 60% amplitude and wet rendering at 60 °C were found to be the ideal conditions, as were DES-HAE at 13,000 rpm and wet rendering at 60 °C. With a notable increase in oil yields of 16.80% and 20.12%, respectively, and improved oil quality (lower acid and peroxide values) in comparison to the conventional wet rendering, experimental validation validated the effectiveness of the DES-HAE and DES-UAE procedures. DES-UAE notably raised the amount of astaxanthin. This study demonstrates that DES-HAE and DES-UAE are quicker, lower-temperature substitutes for obtaining premium, astaxanthin-rich shrimp oil, resulting in more effective use of this priceless byproduct.

The designing of mosquitoes counting system instrument is presented in this work. The mosquitoes that were counted died in order not to measure duplicate counting data. As soon as the input source counting machine can detect the mosquito, the single trigger signal is transmitted to the IOT system to interrupt the server immediately. The number of real mosquito is not transmitting to the IOT but only a signal to interrupt the server. The server records the number of the interrupt signal with real-time clock. Then the interrupt information will be further handled. The front end counting machine consist of the high voltage generate with the suitable voltage value and electrode distance for the required mosquitoes size. The low trigger pulse signals of the mosquitoes killed by high voltage are sending to the controller unit. Immediately, interrupt counting signal of the number of mosquitoes is sent to the big stream data collection on IOT system by the time stamp technique. Form the measurement results, 10 live sample mosquitoes in a limited space box to fly though the counting machine show that the count results are 100% correct count.

KinderForest : Puzzle Building Game with VR Technology is designed to utilize Virtual Reality (VR) technology with the primary aim of promoting creative problem-solving skills and basic practical application abilities among players. This project presents the game in an Augmented Virtual Reality (AR VR) format, emphasizing physical engagement of players during gameplay while fostering creativity and fundamental application skills. The project team has chosen to utilize Unreal Engine 5.1 and Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality glasses to develop the game in the form of augmented virtual reality technology. Within the game, there will be various levels that require creative thinking and different approaches to pass. Time constraints will be a crucial element in completing missions and progressing through these levels. Players will physically move their bodies in response to in-game movements. Each level will present unique challenges that will necessitate both physical movement and problem-solving skills. The game will provide different rewards based on the outcomes of mission completion, and players will be informed of their results once they have successfully passed a level.

This research project aims to study and develop a metaverse system for tourism in Horklong Subdistrict, Phitsanulok Province. The primary goal is to create a prototype metaverse system that showcases the cultural and historical tourist attractions in Horklong Subdistrict through virtual reality technology. This will help promote tourism in rural areas that are not yet widely known and enhance the modern promotion of tourist attractions in the province. The development of the metaverse system in this project utilizes virtual reality technology to simulate the experience of touring Horklong Subdistrict via a virtual boat ride. Users will be able to access the system through the Unity platform, which is a tool used to develop 3D and VR applications. The system is designed to allow users to choose to ride a virtual boat and visit various places that have been creatively recreated in a virtual format. These locations are designed and developed using 3D models based on real data collected from the Horklong Subdistrict area. This project is therefore an initiative to sustainably promote cultural and historical tourism in Phitsanulok Province. It has the potential to increase income for local communities as well as to disseminate local knowledge and wisdom to a broader audience. The metaverse system for tourism in Horklong Subdistrict is thus an important project in modernizing the province’s tourism sector and attracting more visitors, both domestically and internationally.
