Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

Smart system for tracking raising rate of crickets using infrared camera

Abstract

In raising crickets for meat consumption, the growth rate and growth period of crickets are important data used to identify the number of crickets per breeding area at each age. Therefore, the researcher has an idea to create a system for monitoring the growth rate of crickets in a closed system using an infrared camera combined with computer image processing to study the growth and identify the growth period of crickets at each age in order to obtain knowledge that can be disseminated to farmers to improve the breeding process for maximum efficiency.

Objective

ปัจจุบันจิ้งหรีดถือได้ว่าเป็นสัตว์เศรษฐกิจชนิดใหม่ของประเทศไทยซึ่งทางภาครัฐโดยเฉพาะกรมปศุสัตว์ได้เริ่มมีการส่งเสริมให้ภาคการเกษตรได้เพาะเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดเพื่อการบริโภคสำหรับการส่งออก และเป็นการตอบรับกับเทรนด์อุตสาหกรรมอาหารใหม่ (Novel food) ตามแนวทางขององค์การอาหาร และเกษตรแห่งสหประชาชาติ (FAO : Food and Agriculture Organization) ซึ่งคาดการณ์เอาไว้ว่าจำนวนประชากรโลกจะเพิ่มขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่องทำให้ความต้องการแหล่งโปรตีนมีมากขึ้นตามไปด้วย คณะผู้วิจัยจึงมีแนวความคิดที่จะหาสร้างระบบเลี้ยงจิ้งหรีดที่มีประสิทธิภาพ

Farm Life Agricultural Design

This project presents a design and management approach for agricultural land in Kanchanaburi Province. The case study area is situated in Wangdong Subdistrict, Mueang Kanchanaburi District, covering an area of approximately 18 rai (7.2 acres). As the user seeks a simplified lifestyle in the countryside, surrounded by nature, the design aligns with this vision of simplicity and sustainability. The land is systematically allocated to optimize the benefits for both daily living and agricultural industry development. The crop cultivation zones are designed to suit the local climate and plant varieties, ensuring high-quality yields for continuous utilization. Meanwhile, the livestock zones are clearly delineated to maintain balance and organization. This approach not only ensures food security and income generation but also promotes a lifestyle that harmonizes with nature, minimizes environmental impact, and supports the long-term development of an efficient and eco-friendly agricultural industry. Comprehensive attention is given to the positioning of various zones, considering wind direction and sunlight exposure. Additionally, the design undergoes a rigorous drafting and review process to ensure the optimal outcomes for the land's utilization.

The Effect of Cannabidiol on the Excitability of Nociceptive Trigeminal Ganglion Neurons

This research studies the effect of CBD on the excitability of mice nociceptive trigeminal ganglion neurons. The electrophysiological parameters of the mouse trigeminal ganglion cells are measured using a Whole Cell Current Clamp Model on a primary cell culture treated with 0.5 uM CBD for 24 hours compared to a control group. After obtaining the results statistical analysis is done using a Mann Whitney-U test.
