Cracking the PM2.5 Code

Abstract

Air pollution, particularly PM2.5, is a major environmental and public health concern in Bangkok. Instead of predicting PM2.5 levels, this project aims to identify the most significant factors influencing PM2.5 concentration. By analyzing historical air quality, weather, and other environmental data, we will determine which variables—such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, or other pollutants—have the greatest impact on PM2.5 fluctuations.

Objective

PM2.5 pollution is a serious issue in Bangkok, causing respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and reduced air quality. Identifying the most critical factors contributing to PM2.5 can help in creating solutions to improve public health.

Design of Feature "BAAC Good Worker" in Line OA BAAC Family

Currently, Thailand is facing the issue of an aging agricultural workforce and a shortage of labor. The hiring process for agricultural workers is primarily based on word-of-mouth within a limited, narrow area. This may have indirect negative effects in various aspects, such as the lack of basic selection criteria (experience, skills), budget control, and hiring processes. As a result, the idea of creating a job platform specifically for farmers was conceived.Currently, Thailand is facing the issue of an aging agricultural workforce and a shortage of labor.

Sustainable Water Hyacinth Disposal electric smart boat Innovation

The Water Hyacinth Removal Electric Smart Boat is a small, streamlined boat capable of working in any area. Even small areas with a lot of water hyacinth volumes with advanced technology that the researcher has created and designed. The structure of the boat is made of aluminum material, is 4.80 meters long and 1.20 meters wide, and is powered by a diesel engine 14 hp. Reinforcing drive in tandem with spinning, chopping weeds and the ability to remove water hyacinths by spinning 3-5 per day with only one operator on boat. Therefore, the control and removal of water hyacinths by smart boat works better than conventional mechanization. It can work quickly and at a low cost. This water hyacinth removal electric smart boat concept will be built on the original system.

Development of high protein Jasmin-rice coated with rice protein isolate

In the development of high protein jasmine rice products, hydrocolloids, HPMC at 0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1% w/v and MD at 10% w/v were used. This hydrocolloid contained 30% w/v dissolved protein and was coated with raw jasmine rice. It was found that different amounts of HPMC affected the adhesion of proteins in rice. Then, the hydrocolloid with the best adhesion, 0.25% w/v, was used to find the optimum amount for coating rice at ratios of 1:3 and 1:5, which affected protein content, texture, color, water retention and sensory acceptability.
