Coral In focus

Abstract

Currently, climate change and human activities are causing rapid deterioration of coral reefs worldwide. Monitoring coral health is essential for marine ecosystem conservation. This project focuses on developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model to classify coral health into four categories: Healthy, Bleached, Pale, and Dead using Deep Learning techniques. With pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) for image classification. To improve accuracy and mitigate overfitting, 5-fold Cross-Validation is employed during training, and the best-performing model is saved. The results of this project can be applied to monitor coral reef conditions and assist marine scientists in analyzing coral health more efficiently and accurately. This contributes to better conservation planning for marine ecosystems in the future.

Objective

ปะการังเป็นองค์ประกอบสำคัญของระบบนิเวศทางทะเล แต่กำลังเผชิญกับภาวะเสื่อมโทรมจากภาวะโลกร้อนและกิจกรรมของมนุษย์ การตรวจสอบสุขภาพของปะการังในปัจจุบันอาศัยการสำรวจภาคสนาม ซึ่งใช้เวลานานและอาจเกิดข้อผิดพลาด โครงการนี้จึงนำเทคโนโลยีปัญญาประดิษฐ์มาใช้ในการวิเคราะห์ภาพถ่ายปะการัง ช่วยให้การจำแนกสุขภาพของปะการังมีความรวดเร็วและแม่นยำยิ่งขึ้น

Effect of Seed Priming Technique with Chaetomorpha sp. on Germination and Seedlings Growth of Chili

This study investigated the effects of seed priming with Chaetomorpha sp. seaweed extract on seed germination and seedling growth of chili pepper. The objective was to examine the influence of seaweed extract concentrations on seed germination and seedling development. Seeds were primed in different concentrations of Chaetomorpha sp. extract, compared with a control treatment. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with four replications. Results showed that seed priming with seaweed extract enhanced seed germination characteristics. Primed seeds exhibited improved germination percentage, germination index, and germination rate compared to the control. Additionally, seedlings from primed seeds showed enhanced root and shoot development. This study demonstrates the potential of Chaetomorpha sp. extract as a promising seed priming agent for improving chili pepper seed quality, which can be applied in the production of high-quality chili pepper seedlings.

Improving the Quality and Safety of Food Production and Services in the Canteens of KMITL.

The activities of the project's operations consist of: checking microbe on sample food, hygienic condition of cooker, containers and materials, sanitation knowledge and private sanitation and food quality of canteen and cleaning of cooker. The Food Safety Management program collaborated with the Property Management office, planned the operations, and assessed food vendors based on the SAN 20 food safety standards requirements. Using A.13 testing kits, we conducted testing for coliform bacteria contamination in food, containers, equipment, and hand contact surfaces, collecting 6 samples. These included samples such as prepared food, areas in front of the store, and food handlers' hands. Additionally, we used A.11 testing kits to test for coliform bacteria contamination in water and ice. The analysis of results, including physical, microbiological, and chemical aspects, serve as a guideline for improving the quality and safety of food production and service in the institution's canteen.

TOOTHBRUSH APPEARANCE FACTORS THAT AFFECT BABY BOOMERS' PURCHASING DECISIONS

This study aims to identify the toothbrush appearance factors that affect baby boomers purchasing decisions. The research divide into three stages: The first stage is to classify the toothbrush appearance factors through a review of literature, research, and examining toothbrushes currently available on the market, summarizing them as appearance factors. The second stage is to summarize the results of the toothbrush appearance factors to create a multiple-choice questionnaire in three dimensions: purchasing decisions, aesthetics, and functionality. Collecting data from a group of 30 Baby Boomers aged 57-75 years old. The last stage is to summarize the three dimensions of appearance factors affecting baby boomers' toothbrush purchasing decisions and report as percentages and rank them. The research findings indicate that the most significant toothbrush appearance factor is a "Curved handle," accounting for 80%, followed by “Multi-level bristles” at 70%, a "Rubber thumb rest" at 53.3%, "Handle divided into more than two parts" at 50%, and “Offset shape” at 40%, respectively. In terms of the reason for purchasing decision based on various factors are as follows: the curved handle and offset shape give a sense of purchase with its aesthetic, While the selection of multi-level bristles, the Rubber thumb rest, and the handle divided into more than two parts due to functionality.
