A Cold Cover for Raw Milk Transportation

This study was conducted to develop a prototype cooling cover for transporting raw milk, aiming to provide a solution for maintaining the quality of raw milk during transportation to milk collection centers. The cooling cover is made using Phase Change Material (PCM), produced from water mixed with a gelling agent, in an amount of 5.6 kg, attached around an aluminum milk tank (with a capacity of 25 L). The cover is then covered with a UV-reflective fabric in two types: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The temperature reduction performance of both types of covers was evaluated by measuring water temperatures at various points along the radial and vertical directions of the milk tank at six points, using type-T thermocouples, under three environmental conditions: a constant temperature of 25 °C, 35 °C, and outdoor ambient temperature (average temperature 35.5 °C) for a minimum duration of 180 min. The experimental results revealed that at 120 min., the water in the tank covered with PCM-PVC and PCM-HDPE covers had temperatures lower than the ambient temperature by 12.6 °C and 12.9 °C, respectively, under a constant ambient temperature of 25 °C, and under a constant ambient temperature of 35 °C lower by 16.7 °C and 16.4 °C, respectively, and outdoor conditions. Since the temperature reduction performance of PCM-PVC and PCM-HDPE covers showed no significant difference, the performance of microbial quality preservation of raw milk was assessed only with PCM-PVC cover in comparison to a non-covered case (control), by measuring coliform and Escherichia coli counts using compact dry plates. Results indicated that after 120 min., milk in the tank covered with PCM-PVC had an average coliform count of 1.6 × 10^4 CFU/ml and E. coli count of 2 × 10^3 CFU/ml, which was lower than the non-covered control with an average coliform count of 1.5 × 10^4 CFU/ml and E. coli count of 1.1 × 10^4 CFU/ml. This study concludes that the temperature reduction achieved by the cooling cover can help inhibit coliform growth to levels below raw milk quality standards, demonstrating the potential of the cooling cover in maintaining the quality and safety of raw milk during transport, ultimately contributing to an improved quality of life for Thai dairy farmers.

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR CHEMOTHERAPY IN CANCER HOSPITALS AND CHATBOT CONSULTATION

The process of treating cancer patients in the chemotherapy department at Chonburi Cancer Hospital is complicated and inconvenient due to the procedure of submitting blood test results through the personal LINE application of medical staff, which hinders workflow efficiency. Therefore, the researcher has developed a cancer patient management and tracking program in the form of a web-based application and LINE LIFF (LINE Front-end Framework) application to facilitate both medical personnel and patients. The web-based application is designed for medical personnel to monitor, schedule, and collect patient data, while the LINE application is designed for patients to submit blood test results, view appointment schedules, record symptoms after chemotherapy, log their weekly weight, and access a chatbot for consultation. This system is developed based on client-server technology, which enhances data analysis efficiency and supports automated treatment planning. As a result, the cancer treatment process becomes faster, more modern, and more efficient.

Mistake in the First Teleportation Experimental

The concept for this work came from my curiosity about what would happen if, during interdimensional travel in space, a teleportation system were used. This system involves removing matter from one point and transferring it to another while maintaining its original state. If an error occurs and the matter is recreated or fused together, it could result in an experimental creature merging with the spacecraft. I choose the tardigrade as the first experimental subject for teleportation because the water bear has already been sent into space and survived. Therefore, I thought that if we were to actually test this teleportation system, the tardigrade would likely be one of the creatures chosen for experimentation.
