EQUIPMENT FOR ASSISTING INDIVIDUALS WITH VISUALLY  IMPAIRED IN DAILY LIFE INSIDE BUILDING

Abstract

This thesis presents the application of deep learning for object classification. The selected deep learning architectures studied include Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and ResNet18. It covers data preparation, feature extraction, parameter tuning for accuracy comparison, and performance evaluation of the selected models. The aim is to propose an efficient model for use in devices that assist visually impaired individuals in classifying indoor objects and providing sound alerts.

The Innovative Role of Recycled Aggregates in Concrete for Future Construction

This research suggested natural hemp fiber-reinforced ropes (FRR) polymer usage to reinforce recycled aggregate square concrete columns that contain fired-clay solid brick aggregates in order to reduce the high costs associated with synthetic fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs). A total of 24 square columns of concrete were fabricated to conduct this study. The samples were tested under a monotonic axial compression load. The variables of interest were the strength of unconfined concrete and the number of FRRlayers. According to the results, the strengthened specimens demonstrated an increased compressive strength and ductility. Notably, the specimens with the smallest unconfined strength demonstrated the largest improvement in compressive strength and ductility. Particularly, the compressive strength and strain were enhanced by up to 181% and 564%, respectively. In order to predict the ultimate confined compressive stress and strain, this study investigated a number of analytical stress–strain models. A comparison of experimental and theoretical findings deduced that only a limited number of strength models resulted in close predictions, whereas an even larger scatter was observed for strain prediction. Machine learning was employed by using neural networks to predict the compressive strength. A dataset comprising 142 specimens strengthened with hemp FRP was extracted from the literature. The neural network was trained on the extracted dataset, and its performance was evaluated for the experimental results of this study, which demonstrated a close agreement.

Production of Lactic acid bacteria prototype from Thailand for use as probiotics for livestock animals

This research gives a comprehensive overview of the use of antibiotics in livestock production, highlighting both the benefits and the risks associated with their use. The benefits, such as improving immunity, digestion, and reducing infections, are contrasted with the growing concern over antibiotic residues and the development of drug resistance. The shift towards alternatives like probiotics is explored as a sustainable solution, with a specific focus on lactic acid bacteria (LAB) found in the digestive systems of livestock. Thailand’s regulations, which control antibiotic use in animal feed, are also discussed, setting the stage for the study on LAB as a potential replacement for imported probiotics. 1. Use of Antibiotics in Livestock: Antibiotics have been used to promote growth, improve digestion, and prevent infections in livestock. However, the improper use of antibiotics can lead to residues in animal products and the development of drug-resistant bacteria. 2. Global Trends in Antibiotic Use: Many countries, like the European Union and Japan, have banned antibiotics as growth promoters, while others, like China and the U.S., are planning similar bans. 3. Thailand's Approach: Thailand has implemented a regulation since September 2020 to control the use of antibiotics in animal feed, requiring control at both feed mills and farms that mix their own feed. 4. Probiotics as an Alternative: Probiotics, particularly lactic acid bacteria (LAB), are being studied as an alternative to antibiotics. LAB are naturally found in the digestive tracts of livestock and are considered beneficial for maintaining gut health and replacing the need for antibiotics. The study examines the potential of LAB from Thai livestock (broilers, pigs, and cattle) as a sustainable alternative to imported probiotics, aiming to overcome issues like low survival rates of foreign probiotics in practice.
