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

Co-fermentation of lactic acid bacteria and Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce sour beer

This study aims to investigate the co-fermentation process between lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the production of sour beer, with a focus on its impact on product quality, including pH, organic acid content, sugar content, and sensory characteristics. In this experiment, selected LAB strains and S. cerevisiae were utilized under controlled fermentation conditions. The microbial ratio was optimized to enhance growth and the production of key compounds. The findings indicate that co-fermentation significantly reduces pH compared to fermentation with yeast alone. Furthermore, an increase in lactic acid was observed due to sugar consumption by LAB, contributing to the distinctive flavor profile of sour beer.

A Unified Framework for Automated Captioning and Damage Segmentation in Car Damage Analysis

This research presents a deep learning method for generating automatic captions from the segmentation of car part damage. It analyzes car images using a Unified Framework to accurately and quickly identify and describe the damage. The development is based on the research "GRiT: A Generative Region-to-text Transformer for Object Understanding," which has been adapted for car image analysis. The improvement aims to make the model generate precise descriptions for different areas of the car, from damaged parts to identifying various components. The researchers focuses on developing deep learning techniques for automatic caption generation and damage segmentation in car damage analysis. The aim is to enable precise identification and description of damages on vehicles, there by increasing speed and reducing the work load of experts in damage assessment. Traditionally, damage assessment relies solely on expert evaluations, which are costly and time-consuming. To address this issue, we propose utilizing data generation for training, automatic caption creation, and damage segmentation using an integrated framework. The researchers created a new dataset from CarDD, which is specifically designed for cardamage detection. This dataset includes labeled damages on vehicles, and the researchers have used it to feed into models for segmenting car parts and accurately labeling each part and damage category. Preliminary results from the model demonstrate its capability in automatic caption generation and damage segmentation for car damage analysis to be satisfactory. With these results, the model serves as an essential foundation for future development. This advancement aims not only to enhance performance in damage segmentation and caption generation but also to improve the model’s adaptability to a diversity of damages occurring on various surfaces and parts of vehicles. This will allow the system to be applied more broadly to different vehicle types and conditions of damage inthe future

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.
