This research aimed to isolate and culture four strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from fermented foods. The antimicrobial activity of the lactic acid bacteria was studied using the agar spot method and the antibiotic resistance properties of the lactic acid bacteria were studied using the agar overlay diffusion method. The results showed that each strain of lactic acid bacteria had different levels of antimicrobial activity and antibiotic resistance, which are safety properties of probiotic microorganisms.

In this project, we introduce Power Grid Analyzer (PGAz), an open-source software package based on MATLAB, specifically designed for analyzing and controlling future power grids. Initially, PGAz is equipped with four fundamental features: power flow (PF), optimal power flow (OPF), small-signal stability analysis (SSSA), and time-domain simulation (TS). At this stage, Part I concentrates on the development of PF and OPF. The formats of our developed tool are presented, along with its command prompts. In this part, we have developed several conventional yet effective methods in the PGAz package to address PF and OPF problems, including techniques such as the Newton-Raphson method, Gauss-Seidel method, Interior Point Method, Iwamoto’s method, Fast Decoupled Load Flow, Genetic Algorithm, and Particle Swarm Optimization. Additionally, it emphasizes important aspects, algorithms, and various case studies that have been tested against IEEE benchmarks ranging from the IEEE 5-bus to the IEEE 300-bus test systems. The results demonstrate the capabilities of PGAz for future educational and research applications in PF and OPF. Finally, we outline a plan for developing Part II, which will mainly focus on SSSA and TS.

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.

This special problem aims to study and compare the performance of predicting the air quality index (AQI) using five ensemble machine learning methods: random forest, XGBoost, CatBoost, stacking ensemble of random forest and XGBoost, and stacking ensemble of random forest, SVR, and MLP. The study uses a dataset from the Central Pollution Control Board of India (CPCB), which includes fifteen pollutants and nine meteorological variables collected between January, 2021 and December, 2023. In this study, there were 1,024,920 records. The performance is measured using three methods: root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and coefficient of determination. The study found that the random forest and XGBoost stacking ensemble had the best performance measures among the three methods, with the minimum RMSE of 0.1040, the minimum MAE of 0.0675, and the maximum of 0.8128. SHAP-based model interpretation method for five machine learning methods. All methods reached the same conclusion: the two variables that most significantly impacted the global prediction were PM2.5 and PM10, respectively.
