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)

This study focuses on the use of ceramic tile powder as a cement replacement material in concrete at an appropriate ratio. The objective is to investigate the properties of replacing cement with tile powder and to determine the optimal mixing ratio of tile powder in cement mortar that can yield properties equivalent to or superior to conventional cement mortar. The experiment involved preparing cement mortar samples by replacing cement with two types of ceramic tile powder waste from tile manufacturing plants: waste tile powder and rectified tile powder. The mixing process was divided into two parts: Part 1 used a cement and tile powder ratio, while Part 2 used the results of the strength analysis from Part 1 to adjust the ratio accordingly. Various properties were tested, including specific gravity, normal consistency, setting time, tensile strength, and compressive strength. The results of the study revealed that replacing of cement with rectified tile powder provided the highest tensile and compressive strength, comparable to that of conventional cement mortar. Therefore, the use of ceramic tile powder as a replacement can enhance compressive strength while reducing cement usage, which has positive environmental implications by decreasing greenhouse gas emissions from cement production. Furthermore, this approach promotes the effective use of waste materials from the ceramic industry, contributing to the sustainability of the construction industry.

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.
