K-link Application

Abstract

A platform that aims to connect students from all faculties and departments to promote joint activities and develop effective social and collaborative skills, focusing on: Promoting learning and self-development through reviewing lessons and collaborative learning that are relevant to all faculties and departments in the university, creating a space for negotiation and exchange of knowledge, and supporting joint activities to build relationships and cooperation among students.

Objective

จากสถิติโดยเฉลี่ยแล้วในแต่ละวันคนเราจะพบเจอคนแปลกหน้าประมาณ 47 คน นั้นเท่ากับว่าเรา จะพบเจอคนหน้าตาใหม่ๆมากถึง 17,155 คน ต่อปี ซึ่งในการพบเจอกันของผู้คนโดยปกติแล้วเป็นเรื่องที่ เป็นไปไม่ได้เลยที่จะเจอคนที่ชอบหรือมีความต้องการอะไรคล้ายๆกัน เราจึงเกิดแนวคิดที่จะนำพาคนเหล่านั้นให้มาเจอกันได้ง่ายขึ้นจากการสร้างแอปพลิเคชัน ที่จะ ส่งเสริมการทำกิจกรรมร่วมกันของนักศึกษาทั้งจาก ต่างคณะและภายในคณะ เดียวกัน และยังส่งเสริมการ ทบทวนบทเรียน ทำแบบฝึกหัด เพื่อพัฒนาความรู้ในบทเรียนร่วมกัน ที่จะมีรายวิชาจากทุกคณะ และทุก สาขาภายใต้คอนเซ็ปต์ที่ว่า KMITL GO and grow up together

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.

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.

Evaluation of properties of silver nanoparticles from terminalia chebula Retz extract for film coating strawberry

This research investigates active packaging films made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and nanocellulose fibers (NFC), incorporating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from Terminalia chebula extract, which possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties. The developed films were tested for their mechanical properties, microbial inhibition, and biodegradability. The results showed that the addition of AgNPs from Terminalia chebula enhanced product protection and effectively extended the shelf life of strawberries while being environmentally friendly.
