Fire retardant

Fire retardant

Abstract

The purpose of this invention is to develop a forest fire prevention agent that has the ability to prevent long-term forest fires, not only to suppress forest fires or prevent forest fires from spreading widely, but to prevent them from starting to catch fire from the beginning. It can prevent forest fires comprehensively and can be prevented for a long time during the peak forest fire period or the dry season, which is about 3-4 months. There are no residues or minimal residues without causing harm to the surrounding environment under the specified standards. Emphasis is placed on the use of raw materials, equipment, and chemicals that can be easily found in Thailand. This includes using the value of production costs as low as possible. This makes it suitable for use in large quantities for spraying and protecting forest areas in forest areas that are prone to fire. Estimated average for pollution caused by forest fires include particulate matter (PM), including PM2.5, PM10, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide, Nitrogendioxide, VOC etc.

Objective

ป่าไม้เป็นทรัพยากรธรรมชาติที่มีคุณค่าต่อมนุษย์มากมาย ป่าไม้เป็นแหล่งปัจจัยพื้นฐานสี่ประการที่ทำให้มนุษย์สามารถดำรงชีวิตอยู่ได้ นอกจากนี้ป่าไม้ยังเป็นที่อยู่ของสิ่งมีชีวิตต่างๆรวมถึงสัตว์ป่าและพืชพรรณนานาชนิด ปัญหาไฟป่าเป็นอีกปัจจัยที่ส่งผลให้ทรัพยากรป่าไม้เสื่อมโทรมลงอย่างมาก ส่งผลให้ป่าไม้ไม่สามารถฟื้นตัวได้ทันตามวัฏจักรธรรมชาติ ปัจจุบันประเทศไทยได้สูญเสียพื้นที่ป่าไปเป็นจำนวนมากกว่า 1000000 ไร่ในสิบปีหลังสุด และผลกระทบจากไฟป่าทำให้เกิดปัญหาหมอกควันกระจายท้่วไปในบริเวณภาคเหนือ ภาคกลาง และตะวันออกเฉียงเหนือของประเทศ ทำให้ประชาชนจำนวนมากประสบปัญหาโรคระบบทางเดินหายใจ นวัตกรรมนี้จึงถูกสร้างขึ้นเพื่อต้องการลดปัญหาไฟป่าและปกป้องคลุมครองพื้นที่ป่าของประเทศ

Real time mosquito counter by ripple detection system

The designing of mosquitoes counting system instrument is presented in this work. The mosquitoes that were counted died in order not to measure duplicate counting data. As soon as the input source counting machine can detect the mosquito, the single trigger signal is transmitted to the IOT system to interrupt the server immediately. The number of real mosquito is not transmitting to the IOT but only a signal to interrupt the server. The server records the number of the interrupt signal with real-time clock. Then the interrupt information will be further handled. The front end counting machine consist of the high voltage generate with the suitable voltage value and electrode distance for the required mosquitoes size. The low trigger pulse signals of the mosquitoes killed by high voltage are sending to the controller unit. Immediately, interrupt counting signal of the number of mosquitoes is sent to the big stream data collection on IOT system by the time stamp technique. Form the measurement results, 10 live sample mosquitoes in a limited space box to fly though the counting machine show that the count results are 100% correct count.

Aggregated gallic acid-modified platinum nanoparticles as colorimetric sensor for tannic acid detection in beverages based on displacement phenomenon

A new colorimetric assay for the rapid detection of tannic acid in beverage samples based on displacement phenomenon of aggregated gallic acid-modified platinum nanoparticles is developed for the first time. PtNPs were functionalized with gallic acid, promoting the formation of the green-hued aggregated nanoparticles. While colorimetry offers a rapid method for identifying tannic acid, challenges remain in sensitivity and accuracy of detection on the PtNPs colorimetric probe, particularly in the presence of anthocyanin interferences. To address this, we developed a sample preparation method to degrade anthocyanin in beverages. Tannic acid was easily displaced onto the gallic acid-coated PtNPs surfaces, causing dispersion and resulting in a visible color change from green to orange−brown. Under the optimal conditions, the colorimetric sensor exhibited a linear response in the range of 1−2,000 µmol L−1 (R2 = 0.9991). The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were found at 0.02 and 0.09 µmol L−1, respectively. The proposed sensor expressed superior selectivity over other interfering substances and demonstrated excellent precision with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.00%−3.36%. More importantly, recoveries ranging from 95.0−104.7% were obtained, indicating the capability of proposed colorimetric sensor to detect tannic acid rapidly and accurately in real beverage samples.

Asymmetrical resonant cavity thin film devices designed for vanadium dioxide applications

In this paper, Vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin-film devices with two different use cases have been redesigned to introduce an asymmetrical resonant cavity structure. The structure is designed with the goal of enhancing the optical performance of the central VO2 layer and has an anti-reflection property in the cold state. The advantages and limitations of such a design are discussed.
