The research on improving the strength of solid electrolytes aims to enhance the properties of solid electrolyte materials produced from cement and additives that help develop the cement structure to generate electricity. The main components include sodium chloride (NaCl) and graphite, which contribute to the material’s ability to generate a weak electrical current. The objective is to develop an electricity-generating flooring material. This study involves preparing a mixture of cement, water, sodium chloride (NaCl), and graphite to enhance the material’s electrical conductivity. It is highly anticipated that this research will lead to the development of concrete flooring capable of generating electricity and can be further expanded for future applications.

Soil is home to a diverse array of living organisms that interact within a complex food web, facilitating energy and nutrient cycling essential for sustaining life above ground. Among these organisms, soil microbes play a crucial role in supporting plant growth. Beneficial microorganisms enhance nutrient availability, improve soil structure by increasing porosity, and strengthen plant resistance to diseases. Conversely, harmful microorganisms, such as plant pathogens, can hinder plant growth and reduce crop yields when present in high concentrations. Neutral microorganisms, which naturally inhabit the soil, contribute to the soil ecosystem without directly impacting plants. A single teaspoon of soil contains over a billion microorganisms, yet only about 1% of them can be cultured in laboratory conditions. This highlights soil as one of the richest reservoirs of microbial diversity on Earth.

Most rice is consumed as cooked, milled rice, but a small portion is also ground into flour or separated into a starch fraction and used by the food industry as a gluten-free ingredient. This study aims to find out if different types of rice flour and starch, such as white and colored rice, could be used in industry. This study employs green modification techniques to slow down the digestion process by combining polyphenols with starch. Our initial study found that the raw colored rice has a lower glycemic index than other types of rice, such as brown or white rice. Another study that looked at how the quality of colored rice flour was changed by different methods also discovered that out of the six green methods (annealing, heat moisture treatment, ultrasound, pregelatinization, wet-microwave, and dry-microwave). It found that ultrasound improved the polyphenol bioaccessibility in the rice flour and reduced the digestion rate. The pregelatinization process led to the flour having high solubility and an estimated glycemic index. Different techniques affected the flour/starch quality in different ways. Therefore, for further industrial application, it could also be easier to select the method for food product based on their required techno-functional quality of flour/starch. In addition to the modification techniques, this study showed that the high bioaccessible polyphenol content and high polyphenol content in rice greatly slowed down the rate of digestion. This study also open for further exploring the possibility of using high polyphenol agricultural waste to modify starch and flour in a sustainable manner.

This Project has been undertaken to address the need for skill development and knowledge enhancement in pneumatic systems and automation control, which are crucial in today’s manufacturing industry. Pneumatic systems play a vital role in various production processes, including machine control, automated devices, and assembly lines. However, the Department of Measurement and Control Engineering currently lacks a laboratory dedicated to the study and experimentation of pneumatic systems due to the deterioration and lack of maintenance of the previously used equipment. This has resulted in students missing the opportunity to practice essential skills required in the industrial sector. The authors of this thesis recognize the necessity of reviving and developing a pneumatic laboratory that can effectively support teaching, learning, and research activities. This project focuses on studying and developing industrial robotic arm control systems and pneumatic systems, integrating modern technologies such as Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and AI Vision. These systems are intended to be applicable to real-world industrial contexts. The outcomes of this project are expected to not only enhance the understanding of relevant technologies but also aim to transform the laboratory into a vital learning hub for current and future students. Furthermore, this initiative seeks to improve the competitiveness of students in the job market and support the development of innovations in the manufacturing industry in the years to come.
