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.
จุลินทรีย์โพรไบโอติก (Probiotic) หมายความว่า จุลินทรีย์ที่มีชีวิต ซึ่งเมื่อร่างกายได้รับในปริมาณที่เพียงพอจะทำให้เกิดผลที่เป็นประโยชน์ต่อสุขภาพ อาหารที่มีการใช้จุลินทรีย์โพรไบโอติกต้องได้รับอนุญาตจากสำนักงานคณะกรรมการ อาหารและยา และ ต้องใช้จุลินทรีย์ตามที่กำหนดไว้ ดังนั้นการวิจัยนี้จึงนำเชื้อแบคทีเรียแลคติกที่แยกได้จากอาหารหมัก 4 สายพันธุ์ มาศึกษาฤทธิ์การต้านเชื้อแบคทีเรียก่อโรคในอาหาร และ ศึกษาสมบัติการดื้อยาของเชื้อแบคทีเรียแลคติก

This cooperative education report presents a project for developing a Distributed Control System (DCS) for boilers in a sugar factory. The objective is to enhance the control system for boilers 1-8 to operate cohesively within the DCS framework provided by ABB, utilizing the ABB Ability™ System 800xA software. The overall functionality of the system involves creating a control program that begins with the utilization of bagasse, a byproduct from the sugar extraction process, as fuel for the boiler. The program manages various operations of the boiler, including the intake of air into the combustion chamber, the internal functioning of the boiler, and the treatment of flue gases before their release into the atmosphere. The project encompasses the development of the DCS program, the design and creation of HMI display graphics, the study and design of the boiler control system, the documentation of the project, and the control processes utilizing the ABB Ability™ System 800xA software, culminating in the operational outcomes.

Stirling engine is the external heated engine that heat is sup-plied externally to the heater part of the engine. Thus, Stirling cycle engine can be employed with various sources of renewable energy such as biomass, biofuel, solar energy, geothermal energy, recovery heat, and waste. The integration of gasifier, burner, and heat engine as a power system offers more fuel choices of each local area with potential resources resulting independent from shortage and cost fluctuation of fossil fuel. This research aims to investigate the integration of the Stirling engine with a wood pellet gasifier for electric power generation. Biomass can be controlled to have continuously combustion with ultra-low toxic emission. Stirling engine, therefore, is a promising alternative in small-scale-electricity production. Even though many biomass-powered Stirling engines were successfully constructed and marketed but these engines and the use of biomass resources as fuel for power generation are quite new concepts in some developing countries. Especially, the capital cost of this engine is high and unaffordable for installation compared to other power systems. Therefore, this research aims to the study attractive and feasibility of the compact Stirling engine with green energy.
