This research aimed to develop the mixed tea from longan peels and seeds. Population studied were longan farmers who planted longan and preserved the longan product in Ampur Wang Nam Yen, Sa Kaeo Province. From the results, it was found that from By-product in the production of dehydrated longan, longan peels and seeds, which can be processed into ready-to-drink powdered tea. This not only helps reduce waste from the production process but also contributes to generating additional income from these by-products.

This study presents the development of carbon-based multiphase metal oxide nanocomposites (CNF@MOx; M = Ag, Mn, Bi, Fe) incorporating silver, manganese, bismuth, and iron nanoparticles within polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-derived carbon nanofibers. These nanocomposites were fabricated via the electrospinning technique followed by annealing in an argon atmosphere. The resulting nanofibers exhibited a uniform structure, with diameters ranging from 559 to 830 nm and embedded nanoparticles of 9-21 nm. Structural characterization confirmed the presence of various oxidation states of metal oxides, which play a crucial role in charge storage mechanisms. Electrochemical performance testing demonstrated that CNF@Ag/Mn/Bi/Fe-20 achieved the highest specific capacitance of 156 F g⁻¹ at a scan rate of 2 mV s⁻¹ and exhibited excellent cycling stability, retaining over 96% of its capacitance after 1400 charge-discharge cycles. The synergistic combination of electric double-layer capacitance and redox-based charge storage enhances the performance of these nanofibers as promising electrode materials for supercapacitor applications.

This research studies the effect of CBD on the excitability of mice nociceptive trigeminal ganglion neurons. The electrophysiological parameters of the mouse trigeminal ganglion cells are measured using a Whole Cell Current Clamp Model on a primary cell culture treated with 0.5 uM CBD for 24 hours compared to a control group. After obtaining the results statistical analysis is done using a Mann Whitney-U test.

Dwarf whipray (Brevitrygon heterura) is a common species found in a local market in the Gulf of Thailand. However, like many other species of stingrays, it is threatened by overfishing and habitat destruction. Therefore, an accurate species identification is crucial because conservation efforts may vary depending on the species. This study aims to understand morphological variation of B. heterura in the Gulf of Thailand by morphometric study and genetic analysis. During October 2022 and February 2023, we obtained 49 samples from research vessels fish landing ports and local fish markets. We observed two distinct groups based on 43 morphological variables/ratios. B. heterura samples from Chanthaburi, Rayong, Chonburi, Samut Sakhon, Nakhon Si Thammarat and Songkla provinces, called “group A," typically have longer snout length than those from Prachuap Khiri Khan provinces, called “group B" according to external morphological characters for species identification. Three morphological variables/ratios were significantly different between groups A and B. Main characters to explain intraspecific variations between group A and group B are further discussed. DNA barcoding based on a fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene were obtain from eight samples of group A and eight samples from group B. Pairwise percent sequence divergence (p-distance) for COI between group A and group B were 0.0-2.5. This study contributes to the understanding of variations of morphology and genetics of B. heterura in the Gulf of Thailand.
