This experiment aimed to study the suitable types of polymers for coating with chlorophyll extract and the quality of cucumber seeds after coating. The experiment was planned using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications, consisting of five methods involving seeds coated with different types of polymers: Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Sodium Alginate, Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, and Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, each polymer being coated alongside chlorophyll, with uncoated seeds serving as the control method. The coating substance was prepared by extracting chlorophyll from mango leaves, then mixed with each type of polymer at a concentration of 1%, using an 8% concentration of chlorophyll extract. The properties of each coating method, such as pH and viscosity of the coating substance, were examined before coating the cucumber seeds with a rotary disk coater model RRC150 at a coating rate of 1,100 milliliters per 1 kilogram of seeds. Subsequently, the seeds were dried to reach the initial moisture level using a hot air blower, and seed quality was assessed in various aspects, including seed moisture, germination rate under laboratory conditions, germination index, and seed fluorescence under a portable ultraviolet light illuminator, as well as light emission spectrum analysis using a Spectrophotometer. The experiment found that each type of polymer could be used to form a film together with chlorophyll, which had appropriate pH and viscosity for the coating without affecting seed quality and showed fluorescence on the seed surface both under portable ultraviolet light and spectral emission analysis with a Spectrophotometer. Using HPMC as the film-forming agent with chlorophyll was the most suitable method, enhancing seed fluorescence efficiency.
สารเรืองแสงที่นิยมใช้เคลือบเมล็ดพันธุ์ในปัจจุบันมีหลายชนิด เช่น Rhodamine B, Curcumin, Auramine O แต่สารเหล่านี้บางชนิดหากใช้ไปเป็นเวลานานอาจเป็นพิษต่อร่างกายมนุษย์ หากสะสมในร่างกายอาจก่อให้เกิด oxidative stress ซึ่งกระตุ้นให้เซลล์เกิดการเสียหาย เพิ่มความเสี่ยงของโรคบางอย่างได้ ในงานวิจัยนี้จึงเลือกใช้สารสกัดจากธรรมชาติมาใช้เคลือบเมล็ดพันธุ์ คือ สารสกัดคลอโรฟิลล์ มีข้อดี คือ หาได้ง่าย มีวิธีการสกัดที่ไม่ซับซ้อน แต่ข้อจำกัดของสารสกัดคลอโรฟิลล์คือมีความสามารถในการเคลือบร่วมกับพอลิเมอร์ได้บางชนิด อาจทำให้ประสิทธิการเรืองแสงมีคุณภาพลดลง ดังนั้นการวิจัยนี้จึงมีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อหาชนิดของพอลิเมอร์ที่เหมาะสมในการนำมาเคลือบร่วมกับสารสกัดคลอโรฟิลล์แล้วไม่ส่งผลต่อประสิทธิภาพการเรืองแสงและคุณภาพของเมล็ดพันธุ์

When it comes to the general perception of death, it is often seen as something negative or inauspicious. However, the end or death of someone can sometimes be the beginning of change, influencing thoughts, lifestyles, and attitudes in a positive way for those around them. For students aged 13-18, accessing and understanding this topic remains a challenge. Most available information is often presented in complex forms that are difficult for young people to grasp. Moreover, teaching materials in schools often lack creativity and engagement, leading to a decline in students’ interest in this subject. To address this issue, a website has been designed as an accessible and creative resource. It aims to deepen young people's understanding of the impact of actions and the death of individuals on the world they live in, while inspiring them to become part of creating positive change for the future.

The aim of experiment was to study the pyrolysis oil derived from sorted landfill plastic waste that had been buried for 15 years by the Nonthaburi Provincial Administrative Organization. The pyrolysis oil was produced using a Fixed-Bed Reactor at 450 °C for 1.5 hours with LPG as the feedstock, with the goal of using the pyrolysis oil as an alternative fuel. The experiment was conducted under four different conditions : (1) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has not been washed but has been reduced in size, (2) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has been washed and has been reduced in size, (3) plastic waste buried in a landfill that not has been washed and has not been reduced in size, (4) plastic waste buried in a landfill that has not been washed and has been reduced size, with activated carbon used as a catalyst. The experiment revealed that three products were produced : Oil, gas, and char in different quantity. The pyrolysis oil were compared in terms of quality based on pH, Heating value, Moisture content, Functional group, and Chemical Composition. The pyrolysis oil we obtained will be referenced according to the criteria from the Department of Energy Business. The analysis results of the pyrolysis can explain which conditions are suitable for replacing fuel oil in industrial It is therefore one of the approaches that helps manage plastic waste in landfills, reducing the quantity by converting it into usable energy.

Our project seek to create an Al-powered tarot card reader that bridges the gap between traditional fortune-telling and modern technology. By leveraging a combination of 3D modeling, natural language processing, text-to-speech (TTS), and speech-to-text (STT) systems, the service will deliver an interactive and culturally sensitive experience in Thai and English. Users will input their queries through voice, which will be processed via STT, and receive engaging Al-generated tarot readings through TTS. Additionally, a 3D animated avatar will mimic a real-life fortune teller, adding a visual dimension to the experience. Hosted on a user-friendly website, this platform will redefine fortune-telling by blending tradition with innovation, making it both accessible and engaging for modern users.
