This cooperative education project aims to enhance speed and facilitate the verification process for stock issuance, transfers, distributions, and receipts in the warehouse. The primary focus is to address issues related to wasted time and delays in operational processes. Through analysis, it was found that SAP, the current system, involves complex processes requiring specialized expertise. Although the company has developed the iWarehouse system to improve efficiency, delays and procedural complexity persist. To resolve these challenges, Power BI was utilized to visualize data related to stock issuance, transfers, distributions, and receipts, allowing warehouse staff to work more efficiently by minimizing waste and accelerating processes. Additionally, Power Automate was integrated to automate the processing of received stock numbers from emails, reducing errors and delays caused by manual data entry. The results of this improvement indicate a significant increase in employee efficiency and a noticeable reduction in wasted time. Upon project completion, the findings and development approach will be provided to the company for further enhancement.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different salinity levels on survival rate and growth performance of golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata). The experiment was conducted at salinity levels of 0, 5, 10, and 15 ppt, with four replicates each, over an 8-week period. The results showed that golden apple snails reared at 5-10 ppt exhibited survival rates and growth performance not significantly different (p>0.05) from those in the freshwater control group (0 ppt). These findings suggest the potential for developing golden apple snail culture in brackish water systems and the possibility of integration with other brackish water species in polyculture systems.

Designing advanced printed circuit boards for industrial applications involves a variety of steps and methods depending on each company. From what I have learned, I have used Cadence Allegro to design printed circuit boards. This internship was designed on a variety of boards with varying levels of difficulty. Learning in this internship could not be learned in detail within the university. I had to work with many departments within Analog Devices (Thailand) Company. This design was assisted by a mentor who took care of and taught me the work, allowing me to complete the co-operative successfully.

This project aims to develop a conceptual prototype of a weapon aiming system that simulates an anti-aircraft gun. Utilizing an optical camera, the system detects moving objects and calculates their trajectories in real time. The results are then used to control a motorized laser pointer with two degrees of freedom (DoF) of rotation, enabling it to aim at the predicted position of the target. Our system is built on the Raspberry Pi platform, employing machine vision software. The object motion tracking functionality was developed using the OpenCV library, based on color detection algorithms. Experimental results indicate that the system successfully detects the movement of a tennis ball at a rate of 30 frames per second (fps). The current phase involves designing and integratively testing the mechanical system for precise laser pointer position control. This project exemplifies the integration of knowledge in electronics (computer programming) and mechanical engineering (motor control).

Objective or Background: Dental caries is still one of the most significant dental problems worldwide, with prevalence rates up to 90% among children and adults. Cariogenic bacteria, especially Streptococcus mutans, is the primary microorganism involved in the pathogenesis through carbohydrate metabolism and biofilm formation, which are challenging to eradicate. Histatin-5 (HST-5), a human salivary antimicrobial peptide, has demonstrated antimicrobial activity against various fungal and bacterial pathogens. Phytosphingosine (PHS), an endogenous bioactive sphingolipid found in fungi, plants, and humans, also shows antimicrobial properties. This study aimed to evaluate the killing activity of HST-5 alone and in combination with PHS against S. mutans under biofilm-stimulating conditions. Materials and Methods: Antimicrobial activity against a planktonic culture of S. mutans was evaluated using a time-kill assay, and biofilm-forming capacity was confirmed by crystal violet staining assay. The killing ability against 24h pre-formed biofilm was determined using Transferable Solid Phase (TSP) pin lid model. Synergistic activity between HST-5 and PHS was evaluated using the checkerboard technique. Additionally, the cytotoxicity of the tested agent on human gingival fibroblast cells (hGFs) was assessed after 1 h of incubation using an MTT assay. Results: A time-kill assay revealed that both HST-5 and PHS exhibit time- and concentration-dependent activity against the planktonic form of S. mutans. PHS achieved over 90% killing activity within 15 min at 5 μg/ml, whereas HST-5 required 30 min to reach 90% killing at 20 μM. The biofilm formation capacity of S. mutans was confirmed. The inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of HST-5 and PHS against S. mutans biofilm were 25 μM and 13.5 μg/ml, respectively. A synergistic interaction between HST-5 and PHS, with IC50 values reduced by 8-fold and 16-fold, respectively. No cytotoxic effects were observed in hGFs cells at the concentration of the synergistic interaction. Conclusions: Therefore, the combination of HST-5 and PHS may enhance the effectiveness of anti-infective agents against S. mutans biofilm, potentially preventing the development of dental caries.

The evaluation of mango yield and consumer behavior reflects an increasing awareness of product origins, with a growing demand for traceability to understand how the produce has been cultivated and managed. This study explores the relationship between mango characteristics and cultivation practices before harvest, using location identification to provide insights into these processes. To achieve this, a model was developed to detect and locate mangoes using 2D images via a Deep Learning approach. The study also investigates techniques to determine the real-world coordinates of mangoes from 2D images. The YOLOv8 model was employed for object detection, integrated with camera calibration and triangulation techniques to estimate the 3D positions of detected mangoes. Experiments involved 125 trials with randomized mango positions and camera placements at varying yaw and pitch angles. Parameters extracted from sequential images were compared to derive the actual 3D positions of the mangoes. The YOLOv8 model demonstrated high performance with prediction metrics of Precision (0.928), Recall (0.901), mAP50 (0.965), mAP50-95 (0.785), and F1-Score (0.914). These results indicate sufficient accuracy for predicting mango positions, with an average positional error of approximately 38 centimeters.
