Designed Quality coffee from fermentation

Designed Quality coffee from fermentation

Abstract

Coffee is a critical agricultural commodity to be used to produce a premium beverage to serve people worldwide. Coffee microbiome turned to be an essential tool to improve the bean quality through the natural fermentation. Therefore, understanding the microbial diversities could create the final product's better quality. This study investigated the natural microbial consortium during the wet process fermentation of coffee onsite in Thailand to characterize the microorganisms involved in correlation toward the biochemical characteristics and metabolic attributes. Roasting is another important step in developing the complex flavor/ aroma that make coffee to be enjoyable. During the roasting process, the beans undergo many complex and alternatively change in the physicochemical properties from the gained substances in the fermentation process. The changing in the formation of the substances responsible for the sensory qualities, physicochemical/ aroma attributes as well as the health benefits of the final product. Using the starter culture could also develop the distinguished characteristics of coffee (Research collaboration with Van Hart company)

Wellness center Project

Thammadul Wellness Center is a health and wellness center focused on restoring balance to the body and mind through natural therapy and holistic care. Designed as a retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation, the center integrates alternative medicine, nutritional therapy, appropriate exercise, and an environment that promotes tranquility. The center offers a wide range of services, including Thai herbal spa treatments, yoga and meditation, nutritional counseling, and personalized health restoration programs. The architectural design emphasizes the use of natural materials and a setting that harmonizes with the surrounding environment, creating a serene atmosphere that allows visitors to reconnect with nature. Thammadul Wellness Center aims to promote the concept of holistic health care, emphasizing prevention rather than treatment, so that guests can adopt these wellness practices into their daily lives sustainably.

VIDEO-BASED EMOTION DETECTION FROM FACIAL EXPRESSIONS WITH ROBUSTNESS TO PARTIAL OCCLUSION

Facial Expression Recognition (FER) has attracted considerable attention in fields such as healthcare, customer service, and behavior analysis. However, challenges remain in developing a robust system capable of adapting to various environments and dynamic situations. In this study, the researchers introduced an Ensemble Learning approach to merge outputs from multiple models trained in specific conditions, allowing the system to retain old information while efficiently learning new data. This technique is advantageous in terms of training time and resource usage, as it reduces the need to retrain a new model entirely when faced with new conditions. Instead, new specialized models can be added to the Ensemble system with minimal resource requirements. The study explores two main approaches to Ensemble Learning: averaging outputs from dedicated models trained under specific scenarios and using Mixture of Experts (MoE), a technique that combines multiple models each specialized in different situations. Experimental results showed that Mixture of Experts (MoE) performs more effectively than the Averaging Ensemble method for emotion classification in all scenarios. The MoE system achieved an average accuracy of 84.41% on the CK+ dataset, 54.20% on Oulu-CASIA, and 61.66% on RAVDESS, surpassing the 71.64%, 44.99%, and 57.60% achieved by Averaging Ensemble in these datasets, respectively. These results demonstrate MoE’s ability to accurately select the model specialized for each specific scenario, enhancing the system’s capacity to handle more complex environments.
