This project aims to study the load transfer in timber building structures by analyzing weight distribution across key structural components such as beams, columns, and floors, as well as the load-bearing behavior of wood under different conditions. The research incorporates structural calculations and modeling to examine load transfer patterns. Additionally, it enhances skills in design, analysis, and teamwork, providing practical knowledge applicable to real-world construction projects.

Given the fact that the equity market contributes a significant amount to Thai economy and increasing participants and interest by Thai companies, these facts inspire and motivate us to establish a study to analyze whether the stock market can indeed be an active booster of company performances and characteristics of companies which will be beneficial from being in the stock market. These results can support higher listing interest from companies, provide actionable ideas to companies aiming to improve their performance in the competitive arena, and suggest improvements for the stock market to further establish a stronger capital market penetration and foundation in Thailand. The main hypothesis driving this project is to examine whether “aging in the market” contributes to measurable improvements in a company’s performance. Specifically, we seek to understand if the presence of Thai companies in the Stock Exchange of Thailand correlates with enhanced operational outcomes, thereby providing insights into the true benefits of public listing on long-term performance.

This thesis project was conducted to identify the optimal conditions for producing concentrated butterfly pea juice using vacuum evaporation to preserve key compounds in butterfly pea flowers, such as anthocyanins—natural pigments with high antioxidant properties. The study applies a Box-Behnken Design, a statistical method that facilitates analysis of multiple factors. The research focuses on the ratio of dried butterfly pea flowers to water, extraction temperature, and evaporation temperature, each of which has a direct effect on the preservation of key compounds, color, aroma, and flavor. The results indicate that using a dried flower-to-water ratio of 1:15, an extraction temperature of 60°C, and an evaporation temperature of 40°C under low pressure can minimize the loss of essential compounds and best retain the properties of the concentrated butterfly pea juice. Findings from this research provide a foundation for developing an industrial production process for concentrated butterfly pea juice and enhance the potential for creating new products from butterfly pea flowers.

With the urgent need for rapid screening of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) due to its association with increased liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma cases from contaminated agricultural foods, we propose a novel electrochemical aptasensor. This aptasensor is based on trimetallic nanoparticles AuPt-Ru supported by reduced graphene oxide (AuPt-Ru/RGO) modified on a low-cost and disposable goldleaf electrode (GLEAuPt-Ru/RGO) for detection of AFB1. The trimetallic nanoparticle AuPt-Ru was synthesized using an ultrasonic-driven chemical reduction method. The synthesized AuPt-Ru exhibited a waxberry-like appearance, with AuPt core-shell structure and ruthenium dispersed over the particles. The average particle size was 57.35 ± 8.24 nm. The AuPt-Ru was integrated into RGO sheets (inner diameter of 0.5 to 1.6 µm) in order to enhance electron transfer efficiency and increase the specific immobilizing surface area of the thiol-5’-terminated modified aptamer (Apt) to target AFB1. With a large electrochemical surface area and low electrochemical impedance, GLEAuPt-Ru/RGO displays ultra-high sensitivity for AFB1 detection. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements revealed a linear range for AFB1 detection range from 0.3 to 30.0 pg mL-1 (R2 = 0.9972), with a limit of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) and a limit of quantification (LOQ, S/N = 10) of 0.009 pg mL-1 and 0.031 pg mL-1, respectively. The developed aptasensor also demonstrated excellent accuracy in real agricultural products, including dried red chili, garlic, peanut, pepper, and Thai jasmine rice, achieving recovery rates between 94.6 and 107.9%. The fabricated aptamer-based GLEAuPt-Ru/RGO performance is comparable to that of a modified commercial electrode, which has great potential application prospects for detecting AFB1 in agricultural products.
