Assistant ProfessorVallaya Sutthikhum Ph.D.

Faculty of Science,Mahasarakham University

Since Mahasarakham University is located in the “Middle

of Silk Production Area” of Thailand, my research interest was focused

on the silk protein properties and their utilization, particularly for

the yellowish silk thread produced by polyvoltine Bombyx mori

silkworm. This area possesses the high variety of yellow silkworm strains

which produced different yellow cocoons from the pale to the deep

yellow one. The different in cocoon color was due to the color of silk

coating protein named sericin.

This protein was known to responsible for many beneficial

properties for human such as moisture maintain and antioxidant activity.

My research revealed that the different in these yellow cocoons not only for

cocoon colors but also for biological active properties. The understanding

of silk protein property was challenged to the novel way of silk utilization.

The research area such as cosmetics, agriculture by utilizing silk protein

as a promoter or fertilizer as well as the research in material science by

forming silk sheet as a scaffold for human skin tissue engineering are the

ongoing research for my group.

My research interests are focused on both Mendelian and molecular

genetics of basidiomycetes (mushrooms), particularly, construction of

co-isogenic strains, fruiting body developments, mating type genes, gene

transformation and genetic relationship among basidiomycete population.

A model organism of mushroom (Coprinopsis cinerea) mostly used in my

laboratory, because C. cinerea is an excellent model mushroom due to it

has the small size, and can be easily grown on artificial medium under the

standard laboratory conditions and has small genome without abundant

transposon genes. C. cinerea consists of two types of mycelia, namely the

monokaryons, and the dikaryons. The monokaryon has simple septa and

forms constitutively within the vegetative mycelium asexual spores (oidia)

on specialized aerial hyphae. The dikaryon is generated by mating of two

compatible monokaryons. Dikaryon contains two district nuclei in a hyphal

cell. The dikaryon has forming the clamp cells at each septum and develops

fruiting bodies under appropriate conditions (low light intensity in a day/night

rhythm, 80-90% humidity).

The Study of PharmacologicalEfficacy of Dry Mulberry Burirum-60 in Alzheimer’s Disease

Assistant ProfessorBuavaroon Srichaikul, Ph.D.Faculty of Public Health,Mahasarakham University

In this experiment, we used Morus alba Linn. Burirum 60 leaves collected from Mahasarakham University Research Plantation Field, the Division of Research Innovation and were prepared as a powder in capsule form to control the incidence and maintain brain function condition in Mild stage of Alzheimer’s disease patients. Morus alba Linn. contains many minerals and vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin B3, vitamin B12, vitamin C, essential amino acids, Zinc, Magnesium, Sodium, deoxynojirimycin, GABA, Phytosterol, Calcium, Potassium, folic acid etc. The samples of this research were collected from silk weaving women, ages of 55-70 years old in Silk Innovation Weaving Village, supported by Mahasarakham University.

The samples were divided into 4 groups as follows: group no.1 of feeding silkworms weaving women and intake Morus alba Burirum 60 capsule, group no.2 of feeding silkworms weaving women and intake placebo, group no.3 of non feeding silkworm weaving women and intake Morus alba Burirum 60 capsule, group no.4 of non feeding silkworms weaving women and intake the placebo. All samples were tested with Cognitive Testing Scale and the selected samples were Mild cognitive memory function group. The dosage of Morus alba capsule would have 2 capsules after meals , once daily for 3 months and all the samples were tested for cognitive memory function using the scales of Sage1, Mini-Mental state Examination (MMSE), Functional Assessment Stage tool (Fast) for evaluation and confirmation of the efficacy of Mulberry (Morus alba Burirum 60) effecting the brain function. The data were tested with Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Kruskal Wallis statistical analysis. The result revealed that each 4 groups of Group no.1, no.2, no.3, and no.4 were 3.00, 1.50, 3.00 and 2.00 respectively. It showed that in each group had indicated mean scores with statistical significant difference at p-value 0.05. It showed the development of changing scores tested by SAGE1 scale within the group. Then we compared the mean scores difference among or in between groups by using the Kruskal Wallis statistical method. The result found that the mean rank score among 4 groups before the experiment were 14.10, 12.70, 7.30 and 7.90 respectively and the mean rank score among 4 groups after the experiment were 17.70, 8.70,11.00 and 4.60 respectively. The higher rank of each groups indicated the higher development in obtaining the scores of SAGE1 tested by Kruskal Wallis after the experiment by oral intake of Morus alba Linn. Burirum-60 capsules with the dosage of 200 mg daily for 3 months. It showed the development of cognitive memory function by increasing the ranking scores of group no.1, group no.3 and group no.2 respectively.

Research areas Water requirements for agriculture, water supply, industry,

power generation, ecology and environment have increased in concert

with population growth, lifestyle changes and economic expansion.

A reservoir operation that uses rule curves can improve water budgeting,

better respond to water requirements, provide positive solutions to

flood problems, and achieve long term operation planning. Recently,

the optimization techniques have been applied to solve the complex

problems. My research areas are application of optimization techniques

(linear programming, dynamic programming, genetic algorithm, differential

evolution algorithm, simulated annealing algorithm, ant colony optimization,

shuffle frog leaping algorithm, etc.) to solve water resource problems

such optimal reservoir rule curves, optimal crop planning, flood and drought

control and hydrological situation on land use and climate changes.

environment. In this regard, it is particularly fortunate, because it is easily separable from other wastes and

allows for a relatively economic recovery when properly assisted by the education of citizens and regulation.

However, the recovered material after cleaning is not considered suitable for the production of bottles for

beverages or water and a new route must be developed for its transformation into usable products. A possible

upgrading and recycling approach consists of the blending of recycled PET (rPET) with different polyolefins,

with the objective of saving time, needing relatively less investment for machinery, and obtaining a composite

material with an increased value with respect to the starting polymers. However, although the properties

of rPET are normally lower than those of the virgin material, the cost/effectiveness relation is better. The

blends of rPET with common thermoplastics, such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) based on the

concept of iMFCs, have received much attention during the last decade.. Most previous works have suggested

that the presence of functional compatibilizers could minimize the interfacial tension and improve adhesion

between the two phases, and hence, result in

an enhancement of the mechanical properties

of the final products.

In current work, we interest to explore

the potential of rPET as a processing lubricant

with good thermal resistant, low-cost and easily

available filler for the thermoplastic composites

in comparison with liquid crystalline polymer

(LCP). LCP- or rPET-filled thermoplastics (HDPE,

PP, PS) composites in the form of fiber through

extrusion and drawing processes. In addition,

to extend the application of the rPET-containing

composite fiber, the cross-ply (0°/90°) laminates

of the polymer fibers were prepared using a film

stacking method. Tensile, flexural and impact

tests were employed to characterize the

mechanical performance of the rPET-composite-

fiber laminates.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a plastic that has been used

in various products, such as beverage containers, since the late 1970s.

The plastics have entered into every aspect of our lives, being widely

used particularly in the fields of packaging and building. The large amount

used has caused major problems in terms of resource utilization and the

Bio-oil Production byFast Pyrolysis of Biomass

Assistant Professor Adisak Pattiya, Ph.D.Bio-energy and Renewable Resources Research Unit,

Faculty of Engineering, Mahasarakham University

Due to environmental concern and possible future crisis in energy production

and sustainability, the use and the development of renewable and sustainable energy

sources are of paramount importance. Biomass is an accepted form of renewable energy

and is seen as a means of helping to reduce global warming by displacing the use of

fossil fuels. Energy stored in biomass is derived from sunlight and can be either directly

utilised by combustion or transformed into different forms of energy such as liquid

fuel by a process called “fast pyrolysis”. Fast pyrolysis can apply virtually all types of

biomass as far as they are dried enough (less than 10% moisture content). Since Thailand

is an agricultural county, the biomass such as agricultural residues is readily available.

Fast pyrolysis is globally regarded as a promising route for converting biomass into

liquid fuel (also known as bio-oil) with solid char and gases as valuable by-products.

Nevertheless, the knowledge and know-how of fast pyrolysis technology in Thailand is

still in its infancy. Therefore, the Bio-energy and Renewable Resources Research Unit,

Faculty of Engineering, Mahasarakham University led by Asst.Prof.Dr. Adisak Pattiya has

actively investigated on the production of bio-oil from fast pyrolysis of biomass as well

as the upgrading of the bio-oil product to bio-gasoline.

The process for bio-oil production is

shown by the following diagram. The first

step of the production is the biomass

preparation which includes two steps,

drying and grinding to obtain dry biomass

with suitable particle size. The biomass

is continuously fed into the fast pyrolysis

reactor by two screw feeders. The reactor

is normally maintained at 400-600 °C. Inside

the reactor is hot sand used as heat transfer

medium. When biomass is in contact with

hot sand in the absence of oxygen, fast

pyrolysis reactions occur producing pyrolysis

vapour with char as solid residue. The

pyrolysis vapour and char particle are quickly entrained out of the

reactor by nitrogen flow passing two cyclones where char particles

are separated. The fast pyrolysis vapour together with char fines

is then filtered through the hot filter to remove the residual

char. Part of the vapour is rapidly cooled and condensed by

a condenser, an electrostatic precipitator and dry ice/acetone

condenser, thus producing what is called “bio-oil”

Population genetics, cytogenetics and ecology of black flies (Diptera: SImuliidae) in Thailand

Associate Professor Pairot Pramual, Ph.D.Faculty of Science, Mahasarakham University

My research interest was focus on population genetics and ecology of black flies in Thailand. Black flies are insects of the order Diptera, family Simuliidae. There are 2,142 species described worldwide and approximately 98% of these were blood-sucking insects. Some species of the black flies were vectors of the infectious blindness disease, human onchocerciasis (or River blindness) which is a causal agent of more than 500,000 blindness in Africa. On the other hand, black flies were important components of stream ecology because they are often present as the major macroinvertebrates in the stream ecosystem. Black fly larvae contained giant chromosome (polytene chromosomes) which are important for taxonomic and evolutionary studies.

Figure 2 Black fly larvae attached

Figure 3 Polytene chromosomes

of black fly.

In Thailand, there are 90 species of black flies arranged in six subgenera of the genus Simulium. Because black flies were ubiquitous and taxonomic knowledge of them are thoroughly studied in Thailand thus black flies are interesting model species for population genetic and ecological studies. The objectives of my research on black flies are to assess effect of historical and contemporary ecological conditions on black fly diversity and evolution. Several research approaches including phylogeography, DNA barcoding, cytogenetic and ecology were used. The results indicated that both contemporary and historical event could play significant role on black fly diversity and evolution. Phylogeographic studies in four black fly species in Thailand indicated that Pleistocene climatic change could have profound effect on biodiversity and evolution of Thai faunas. The results of my research pointed out that north and northwest of Thailand contain high genetic diversity thus need priority for conservation program. Meanwhile, ecological studies suggested that physicochemical factors such as stream width, depth, velocity, altitude and water conductivity are among the most important factors associated with species distributions. Adaptations to particular ecological conditions also found as driving factor promote black fly speciation. Cytological study indicated that some morphological species in Thailand (e.g. S. siamense, S. angulistylum and S. feuerborni) were composed of cytological distinct species (i.e. species complex).

Theoretical Analysisof Photoinduced Electron Transfer in Proteins Photoinduced electron transfer (ET) reactions are always the first

steps of energy conversion in solar cells, photochemical reactions of

organic and inorganic compounds, photosynthetic reactions, and also

photoreceptors in plants, bacteria, insects and even mammals. Scope

of this work aims to establish which ET theory is most suitable for ET in

proteins. If we could identify which theory best describes the experimental

ET rates, we can expect huge applications of this theory to phenomena

from solar cells, redox reactions of organic and inorganic compounds to

photosynthetic reactions and photoreceptors.

The method consists of the following procedure

1) Molecular dynamics simulations of flavoprotein are performed to obtain sets of atomic coordinates of

protein.

2) Donor-acceptor distances and electrostatic energies in the protein are calculated with the atomic

coordinates.

3) Time-dependent ET rates are calculated with ET theories

4) Fluorescence dynamics is obtained with the ET rates taking average over MD time region.

5) ET parameters in the ET theory and ET rates are determined so as to obtain a best-fit between the

observed and calculated fluorescence decays.

DNA Barcoding,Systematics and MolecularPhylogeny of TropicalMicro-lichen in Thailand

Assistant ProfessorKhwanruan Butsatorn Papong, Ph.D.Faculty of Science, Mahasarakham University

DNA barcoding and molecular studies on symbiotic organisms, such

as lichens are helpful for identification and understanding the evolution

of mutualistic relationships. The new tool in this century for identified

lichen species is DNA barcode; it’s very powerful technique for taxonomist

in the world. The knowledge of the diversity and phylogeny of lichens in

SE Asia is currently poor, especially in Thailand. In traditional taxonomy

of micro-lichen was separated mainly based on ascoma morphology. For

example, the micro-lichen of large family calls Graphidaceae. Currently

molecular data strongly suggest that Thelotremataceae is synonymous

with Graphidaceae, now more than 1,000 species were member of this

family.

This research will attract future students to this fascinating group of lichen in a framework for modern

systematic studies, the evolution and contribute to understanding species concepts in micro-lichen in Thailand

and SE Asia. Also this research will provide wide access of data, such as easy to use-identification tools, images

for keys, and databases to the general public.

Since 2007, my research on taxonomy, molecular phylogeny and DNA barcode of micro-lichen in Thailand

was found interesting result presented by publication on lichen was increase in last 6 years. In 2009-2010,

I working on diversity of lichen was financial support by Division of Research Facilitation and Dissemination,

Mahasarakham Universtiy, and then 2009-2011 was support by TRF for young researcher working on taxonomy

and molecular phylogeny of lichen. In this year (2012-2016) I received the grant from TRF and Mahasarakham

Universtiy for working on DNA barcoding, systematics and molecular phylogeny of lichen, this project on

progress. The results of my research was found a new genus, 21 new species, 92 new records in Thailand,

14 new combinations, one new to SE Asia and 3 new records in SE Asia were presented on 17 international

publications. A graduate student was finished her master thesis on lichen was participate on my research,

Ph.D student who working on systematics and molecular phylogeny on one group of lichen in Thailand still

working in my laboratory.

Water resourcemanagement, Modelingand Forecasting

Assistant ProfessorBungon Kumphon, Ph.D.Faculty of Science,Mahasarakham University

My research interest was focus on modeling and forecasting base on water resource management. Water shortages due to variable rainfall distributions and increasing community water demands often pose significant problems for the relevant regional authorities. Reservoirs play an important role in water resource management, especially for essential water supply during droughts. Reservoir operating rules are intended to guide and manage reservoir systems, so that water release is in the best interest of the system objectives. A multi-reservoir system in a river basin consists of several reservoirs located in series or in parallel. The multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) approach is pursued in order to derive an optimal reservoir operational plan for the multi-reservoir system located in the Chi River Basin of Northeast Thailand. The results strongly suggest that the reservoir management may be improved, although only two decision variables (storage and release) were considered in the investigation. Indeed, the notably high assurance in the calculations reported indicates that the reservoir managers may confidently proceed to suitably modify their operational procedures. For the planning and design of crop scheduling and water management in Northeast Thailand, thedistribution of weekly rainfall was investigated from dataon weekly rainfall for a part of Chi River Basin surroundingthe Lampao Reservoir. The data is fitted wellby K4D with L-Moments estimation, and there is someevidence for a generalized Pareto distribution. There isusually one distribution that passes the goodness-of-fittest. For the estimated rainfall at the specificprobability 0.75, there is low to no rainfall in the dryseason, which is the best time for drying crops or anyassociated activity that has no water requirement (from week 1 to 6, 8, 10 and 45 to 52). On theother hand, there is very high value of rainfall in therainy season (from week 19 to 40 and theawareness weeks for heavy rain are week 33 to 36). I have 7 publications in international journals (e.g. Water Resource Management, Open Journal of Statistics, Journal of Water Resource

and Protect ion, Thai land Stat ist ic ian) ,one chapter publ i shed in Aspects o f mathemat i ca l model ing , Birkhäuser Basel, and was a reviewer of several journals (e.g.Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, Songklanakarin Journal of Sc ience and Technology, Brit ish Journal of Applied Science & Technology). I was an assistant team in workshop on Complex Sample Survey Designby National Statistical Office, and International Health Policy,Thailand and invited speaker at Chonnam University, Chonnam, South Korea.

Cultural Dimensions on theFabric Cover of Palm-leaf Manuscripts: Case study in Mahasarakham Province.

The fabric cover of palm -leaf manuscript is important in protecting the

manuscripts as well as expressing community cultures. This study investigated

the fabric cover of palm-leaf manuscripts found at 36 temples in Mahasarakham

Province including 11 districts and 2 sub-districts. Major purposes of this study

were to analyze patterns of art and cultures, values, beliefs; and to develop

a database of the fabric cover of palm-leaf manuscripts.

The findings indicated that in protecting the manuscripts, self-made fabric

such as silk skirt called mudmee, phapoom, pha hang grarok, phakhawma

(loincloth), and phasarog (skirt) were mostly used , followed by phalaykid made

from cotton and silk, and other types of fabrics such as screened cotton fabric

and brocade were also used.

Art patterns, colors, and designs appeared on the fabric reflected

local identities. In addition, using silk fabric was a traditional way to protect

manuscripts. However, other materials such as grass, bamboo, wooden boxes,

and glass boxes were gradually used.

Originally a fabric cover was made and given to the monks with

high respect, on the other hand, the later period a commercial fabric from

the central Thailand was used due to the change in values and cultures.

Monetary Economics,International Economics, Agricultural Economics and Economics of Public Finance.

My research interests in the fields of Monetary Economics, International Economics, Agricultural Economics and Economics of Public Finance. My researches were more specifically on issues related to government policy and its effect on economic activities and competitiveness of the county.

I started working on a projects related to monetary policy, the research aimed to investigate the money demand behavior under inflation targeting framework in Thailand, with a research question is that whether there exist a stable long run and short run equilibrium relationship between real money demand (M1 or M2) and their determinants in Thailand after adopted the inflation targeting as a monetary framework of monetary policy. A co integration analysis and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) were conducted on quarterly data over 2001Q1 to 2010Q1. The results indicate that there exists a long run equilibrium relationship between real money demand (both M1 and M2) and its determinants: real income, exchange rates, and external interest rates.

After the first project, I continued working on monetary policy in Thailand by analyzing how monetary policy has been transmitted into the macro economy through the credit channel of monetary policy. In addition, the research also tested the effectiveness of monetary policy through credit channel in Thailand under Flexible Exchange Rate Regime by using the Vector Autoregression model (VAR). The results find that a change in the M1 money demand has more effect on economic growth while a change in M2 has a stronger effect on the price level. In addition, the results also show that the M1 money demand is responsive to credit channels of monetary policy.

Saranya Raksong, Ph.D.Mahasarakham Business School, Mahasarakham University

Since the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) become the popular issue among researchers, I worked on the ASEAN issue by using econometric model to analyze the stability of money demand in five major ASEAN countries.The objective of this research is to test the stability of money demand function in the ASEAN 5 countries, including Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia. The results indicate that there exists a long run equilibrium relationship between real money demand (M2) and its determinants: real income, exchange rates, and external interest rates in the ASEAN 5 countries. In addition, the CUSUM plot indicates that the money demand functions in the ASEAN5 are appeared to be stable.

Some of my research focused in the SMEs issue. I have done the research on factors influencingthe Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) the Northeastern Thailand access tothe Bank Credit. The research found that the majority source of fund of the SMEs in Northeastern Thailand is the credit from domestic commercial bank. The factors the Influence the Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) access to the bank credit including the business collateral, manager’s education, and working experience, the business market share and business plan, and transaction cost of credit. The findings of this research might use as a guideline for the SMEs entrepreneurs to prepare for access to bank credit. In addition, the government sector can also use this research as basic information for promote the SMEs in Thailand.

My current work focuses on the effects of government price intervention policy on the competitiveness of Thai rice export in ASEAN. The research was conducted by using secondary data, time series data from 1997 – 2012. The research found that Thailand still in the situation that highly competitiveness in world rice export. In addition, the research also shown that the factors affecting competitiveness of Thai rice export in ASEAN were ASEAN GDP, exchange rate, and the level of government price intervention.

To development the administrat ive management of Web Based GIS, it is named carbon2 Markets proving that carbon stored under this project is real and provable. Interested persons can access to the information through the internet at www.carbon2markets.org. Nevertheless, carbon2Markets has been designed to support various internet protocols such as Keyhole Markup Language (KML), Web Map Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS), Representational State Transfer (REST) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). Carbon2markets system has been designed and developed by Prof.Dr.David L.Skole and his staff from Michigan State University. Right after that, the system has also been developed for the Carbon Credit for Forestry in Thailand by Faculty of Sciences, Mahasarakham University.

Conclusion The carbon credit compensation research project

has been joined from farmers network Inpang from the 5 provinces of the Northeastern area of Thailand. The project is the collaboration between Faculty of Science, Mahasarakham University, National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT), Michigan State University, United States of America and Inpang Farmers’ Network. Under the research teamwork, both research team and farmers have conducted the infield check on biological data of the forest. It is also included the application of the Remote Sensing and GIS and Area Data Development System to be prepared for Forest Carbon Inventory for Thailand to be proposed to the Climate Change Market in Chicago’s Chicago Climate Exchange or CCX. However, the project was able to calculate the carbon amount, and its value from the area 625 rai (1 ha = 6.25 rai) from the farmers joined the project, it is convertible to the amount of 75,000 ton carbon and it is sold at the price 4.25 US$ per ton carbon. The net amount of the income for the farmers joining the project is 37,000 US$ equivalent to 1,000,000 million baht from selling carbon in 2 years from 2011-2012. It must be noted here it is the first carbon credit sale for the first time for Thailand and ASEAN.

Academic achievement Findings can be used as baseline data to further development of the Forestry Carbon Credit for compensation and voluntary sale for Thailand.

Laotian Migrant Workers in theIndustrial Sector in the Northeastof Thailand

The research on employment processes among Laotian migrant workers in the industrial sector in the North East of Thailand aims to: 1) study employment process among Laotian migrant workers in the industrial sector, 2) study the interaction and opera-tion of the government, entrepreneurs and labor management towards the lifestyle of Laotian migrant workers, 3) study working life in the industrial sector, the adjustment, struggle, and negotiation of Laotian migrant workers in their area of migration. The research was conducted using the qualitative method of interviews with individual Laotian migrant workers in the industrial sector, interviews with individuals involved with labor management including the government sector, private development agencies and entrepreneurs. The research findings showed

Assistant ProfessorChoopug Suttisa, Ph.D.Faculty of Humanities and Social,Mahasarakham University

that the lifestyle of Laotian migrant workers in the industrial sector in the Northeast of Thailand was under the method and condition of governmentpolicies and capitalism, which had ways to increase this fund by extracting surplus value from migrant workers.

The researcher used the concepts of Transnationalism from below and transnationalism in the dimension of the political economy analysis of David Harvey (2003) with regard to spatio-temporal fix and tactics in everyday life. It was found that the work life of migrant workers in each factory had common characteristics, e.g. they had to work hard and for long hours each day, they earned low daily wages and inadequate benefits, and their jobs exposed them to certain health and safety risks. It was also found that the tactics of entrepreneurs in terms of incentives in various forms -- patronage systems and benefits -- had forced migrant workers to work harder and expose themselves to greater risks in order to earn greater compensation. In addition, amid pressure, these migrant workers had to adjust, struggle and negotiate in order to survive in the new workplace and with new living conditions. Certain policies were proposed, such as the government should adjust labor management theories by incorporating an economic promotion concept, a national security concept, a human rights and human security concept, should place importance on the local level, the actual area of operation, and should establish a clear system and mechanism at all levels in order to perform labor management more effectively.

Currently, reservoir operation in Thailand is a

very challenging proposition because water resources

are limited and change suddenly. A large volume of

water is obtained in the rainy season, but there is lack

of water in the dry season.As such, it becomes very

important to find the best method to determine an

exact water resource plan.The water requirements

encompass agriculture, consumption, industries,

power generation, ecology and the environment.

These requirements have increased with an increase

in the population, lifestyle changes and economic

expansion. It is well known that droughts and

floods occur each year in the northeast of Thailand.

Therefore, a suitable criterion of optimal water

operation for storage reservoirs needs to be found.

It has been reported that reservoir operation using

rule curves could provide a positive solution to flood

problems and achieve long term operational planning.

This research aims to develop reservoir management

by using a conditional differential evolution algorithm,

which combines a complex reservoir simulation

system to search the operating rule curves. A

conditional constraint was applied to the search

process to reduce the fluctuation of operating

rules. Minimum average water shortage and

downstream flood control were adopted as the objective

function of the search process. Two types of models,

the conditional differential evolution (CDE) and the

conditional genetic algorithm (CGAs), are developed.

The results of CDE and CGAs as well as the rule curves

which are used in the present (here after shown by

present rule curves) were compared. The CDE model

was evaluated to determine the optimum rule curves

of the Lampao reservoir in the northeast region of

Thailand. From the results, it was found that the

reservoir operating rule curves from the CDE showed

a lower frequency and quantity of water shortage than

that of the present reservoir operating rule curves.

In addition, the frequency and quantity of downstream

flooding were reduced. The results also demonstrated

that the CDE provided better reservoir operation

in each inflow situation. Therefore, it can be said

that the reservoir operating rule curves obtained

from this research could help reservoirs operating

in the Lampao basin.in the industrial sector in

the Northeast of Thailand was under the method

and condition of governmentpolicies and capitalism,

which had ways to increase this fund by extracting

surplus value from migrant workers.

Domain 1: Diversity of weeds and agricultural management The agricultural sector of Thailand is the most important sector in the economy, especially for food production. More recently, with rising population, food consumption has been continually increasing. Farm inputs are now rising, with the effect of increasing farmers’ incomes. Traditional weed controls such as hand weeding, ploughing and mulching are now replaced by a greater reliance on herbicides. Thus, the rapid changes of agricultural management can be factors that affect shifts in weed flora composition in ecosystems.

Scope of work• Farmer’s perception on weed flora of Thailand • Pilot study and observatory study for agriculture, environment & health• A base-line list of weed species and the recent changes in weed flora of Thailand• Impact of Thai rice agriculture to patterns of weed species occurrence and abundance• The change of weed flora in the North-East arable fields and its importance for biodiversity

Domain 2: Tea products development: Value adding to local herbs in healthy tea products Thailand is rich in plant species with high biodiversity, especially medicinal plants, attributed to the diversity of local wisdom in Thailand that combines traditional knowledge on herbal medicine. Thailand is the country's potential to create healthy products from traditional herbs. Unfortunately, this knowledge is not being applied to the relay and the social life of the current levels. Herbal products on the market are still limited to a narrow range, with the use of herbs well known, only a few species. Resources make effective herbal high intrinsic value to be overlooked. Mahasarakham University by experts from Walai Rukhavej Botanical Research Institute engaged as a consultant to the company in the research and development of herbal medicinal products from Thailand to markets worldwide, combining the local wisdom in Thailand along with the development of manufacturing technology, which is difficult because no one has ever done before. The Giving Tea Company has participated with Industrial Technology Assistance Program (iTAP) in development projects to add value to traditional herbal products, herbal tea, and healthy tea products. In addition, research team helps in the discovery, development, formulation and manufacturing process improvements and industrial manufacturing companies to form a new tea blend which is popular in abroad from traditional herbs in the country. Importantly, what novelty and the product of the company advantage is that the benefit of human health with research support and outstanding products and have been well received by the market in the country and abroad. Success in this project makes healthy market with good products to consumers and enhances the economic value of domestic resources, as well as the key for the company to enhance its competitiveness. The company plans to expand production by focusing on products and projects further to the global competition. "A great improvement to create more value from existing resources and knowledge. We want to develop a product based on what is in the country to create a brand of Thailand, known in the tea and can compete with foreign brands". This project is also academic performance by bringing products to registered patent in multiple items with a herbal tea 4 leaves, Cleansing, Mulberry Rice, and Absolute mulberry. Furthermore, the many items in between a registered patent include Diuretic renal care, Refresh, Aura, Anti-aging (or menopause), Elixir of life, Laxative, and Very berry tea.

The functioning of the diverse flora as a whole, and how it both synthesizes knowledge fromlocal and global sources worldwide andprovides the key information to biodiversity knowledge and its value adding to the healthy products.

Bioanalytical and analytical method developmentof drugs focusing on HPLC and CE techniquesaccording to ICH guidelines

Research in the area of pharmaceutical analytical incorporates into most of research work in pharmaceutical sciences e.g.pharmacognosy, pharmacokinetics, pharmaceutical technology, pharmaceutics as well as medicinal chemistry.As an important tool to indicate both qualitative and

quantitative analyses, understanding of separation behavior is very useful in the areas stated above. My research interest focuses on separation techniques, especially in HPLC and CE (capillary electrophoresis) both in theoretical and application aspects. This approach allows the determinations of achiral or chiral drugs and their related substancesin raw materials andpreparations. The extensive analytical techniques can be applied for determination of metabolite-profilingin complex matrices such asbiological fluids and plants. According to the current research, extraction of bioactive compounds with high yield using software-assisted optimization has been investigated by means of partial least square analysis and multiple linear regression analysis; for instance, extraction of mulberry leaves and edible flowers. To determine bioactive compounds mainly phenolic and flavonoid compounds, spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods have been applied for quantitative analysis. The high quality of the extract exhibitsin high amounts of bioactive compounds as well as safety consideration. Toxicity testing of the extract in animal model has been evaluated before product development process. For acute toxicity, Blood chemistry parameters and major organ histology of experimental animals have been assessed. In the field of drug analysis, the current research focuses on analytical method development and validation according to ICH guideline [Q2(R1)]. The well-developed and robust analytical methodsof HPLC and CE perform an important role on the analysis of drug substances and drug products. In addition, the analysis of related substances including enantiomeric impurities, intermediates and degrade products are also important to indicate the quality of pharmaceuticals. For chiral analysis, stereoisomer separation employing native cyclodextrins and derivatives are used as chiral selectors. To understand complex constant and mobility of drug-chiral selector, cyclodextrin-modified CEisapplied to investigate the separation mechanism. This technique is also used for

the determination of enantiomeric impurities of drugs As mentioned previously, the research interest is primarily on the application of analytical techniques to investigate the separat ion of drugs, related substances and plant secondary metabolites in drug substances, drug products and complex matrices. Moreover, the optimization of extraction, analytical method deve lopmen t and p roduc t development are also performed by means of software-assisted to achieve the optimal point.

My research involves the design and construct of machinery applied in agriculture in order to replace workers and increase production rates. Research works are mainly concerned and focused on silk and silk products. In 2014, a device for controlling the heddle weaving for brocade woven was developed as my research.The motivation of this research came from gathering interviews the famous weaving group. It was found that an important issue of weaving is occurred when weaving pattern somewhat difficult, it is necessary to take at least 3 people weave together. Brocade pattern with more complex,

it may be woven only 20 centimeters per a day. Therefore, many workers feel that brocade weaving is time-consuming and laborious work. They refuse to study and preserve the art of traditional weaving. The traditional weaving then began to be lost. From exploring and study problems, hence this research aims to design and develop devices that assist in brocade weaving. This equipment must be easy to use and maintain the uniqueness of traditional weaving as well.properly assisted by the education of citizens The device for controlling the heddle weaving for brocade woven has been improved under the guidance of the user. It can be divided into two parts.

The first part was to modify hardware as follows; changed a control box, added a cover strap, increased the number of pneumatic cylinder from 15 to 20. The second part was to upgrade software. The new modification made the program more flexible. Users could also key in the pattern or modify the existing pattern by themselves. Furthermore, 13 brocade patterns were also recorded and they were ready to use. From the experiment in using the device for controlling the heddle weaving, it was found that the device could reduce time of weaving at the average of 21.60 percent. Ngu Loi Pattern was a pattern

that the assist device can perform the highest time saving, i.e., average of 36.13 percent. An analysis of brocade quality was done by comparing the quality of brocade woven from the assist device with brocade traditionally woven. The opinion score is expressed as a number in the range 1 to 5, where 1 is the lowest quality and 5 is the highest quality. The average values of the opinion score can be summarized as follows: 4.8 for the yarn quality within brocade 4.9 for density, 4.7 for accuracy and 4.9 for continuity of brocade pattern. From the results in regard to brocade quality analysis, it could be concluded that the quality of brocade woven by the assist device was not different from brocade woven traditionally, i.e. the beauty and the identity of brocade fabric are retained, while the time is shorter.

Research work 1. Scope of work-objective

To study the kinetics of macadamia drying

by microwave dryer combined with hot air including

appearance of kernel and energy consumption.

2. Materials and Methods

Macadamia nuts with shell with the initial

moisture content of 18.35% wet basis was dried until

the final moisture content less than 4% wet basis. The

drying temperatures of 40 50 and 60 degree Celsius

combined with microwave powers of 300 450 and 600

watts were the conditions of the study.

Summary The result indicated that the increase in

microwave power could reduce the moisture content

of macadamia more than the increase of drying

temperature. After drying and shelling, it found that

the kernel of macadamia was darker when microwave

power increased. Also, the dark color was not uniform

in all conditions except the drying at microwave

power of 300 watts in all drying temperatures. When

considered in terms of energy consumption, the drying

of 40 degrees Celsius combined with microwave

power of 450 watts had the lowest energy

consumption of 0.17 kW-h.

The result benefits academic/commercial This drying technique could reduce the

drying time of product to remove the moisture

content down to safe storage level with less energy

consumption.

Research work: During the last decade, use of traditional medicine has expanded globally and has gained popularity. In Thailand, people have been more interested in traditional medicine as well. However, a large number of people were indecisive to use herbal medicine because of the limitation of scientific evidence. Even though long historical use of many practices of traditional medicine, including experience passed on from generation to generation, has demonstrated the safety and efficacy of traditional medicine, but scientific data is needed to provide additional evidence of its safety and efficacy. Almost all of Thai traditional drugs whose their for mulae routinely contain up to a dozen or more botanicals have not been proved by scientific methods. I would like to support using of herbal medicine and Thai traditional preparation in Thailand, therefore my research work was focus on standardization of herbal medicine especially Thai traditional preparation

The result benefits academic / commercial The results of pharmacological activity corroborate the effectiveness of the traditional use of Prasaplai as well as its safety which were confirmed by no toxicity and no report in the traditional use. These results showed that Plasaplai is a good alternative drug for relieving dysmenorrhea. The guideline for standardization of Prasaplai by HPLC was established to support the quality control of Prasaplai and to enhance patient’s confidence. The major compounds in the HPLC chromatogram were identified. Moreover, three new fatty acid esters were found in the HPLC chromatogram of Prasaplai during the chemical characterization. They were isolated and identified as two new compounds,(E)-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)but-3-en-1-yl

linoleate and (E)-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)but-3-en-1-yl oleate and one known (E)-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)but-3-en-1-yl palmitate. Finally, the origin occurring of these compounds were studied. The result of clinical study also supported the traditional use of Prasaplai. The know-how from Prasalplai research was transferred to PharmCare Pharmaceutical which was established by Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahasarakham University since 2012. Prasaplai and many products from medicinal plants were produced under the PharmCare brand and sell on the market now. All products of PharmCare were scientifically researched by our staff of Faculty of Pharmacy, Mahasarakham University.

Standardization of medicinal plants and Thai traditional preparation.

which compose of many medicinal plants. Complete studied (Chemistry, toxicity, pharmacological activity, formulation, quality assurance, clinical study) of the potential Thai traditional drug, Prasaplai was represent of my work here. Prasaplai is a Thai traditional preparation that is comprise ten medicinal plants and two chemical compounds. These components are the Acorus calamus L., Allium sativum L., Citrus hystrix DC., Curcuma zedoaria Roscoe, Eleutherine palmifolia (L.) Merr, Nigella sativa L., Piper chaba Hunt, Piper nigrum L., Zingiber cassumunar Roxb., Zingiber officinale Roscoe, sodium chloride and camphor. It has been commonly used by Thai traditional practitioners as a remedy for relieving dysmenorrhea and adjusting a cycle of menstruation as well as antiflatulent. Like other traditional preparations, Prasaplai has been used for a long time but its pharmacological activities and quality control have not been scientifically proved before. Therefore, the pharmacological activities and characterization of Prasaplai were studied to prove or confirm the traditional use. The inhibitory of smooth muscle contraction, antiinflammatory and estrogenic activity were studied as models of anti-dysmenorrhea of Prasaplai including acute toxicity test for safety. The characterization of Prasaplai by HPLC and identification of some major peaks as markers of Prasaplai preparation were investigated. Formulation and clinical study of Prasaplai were also done to prove the traditional use.

Introduction to main research topics Research performed within my research group is directed at the investigation of steroid actions in various regards. The actions of gonadal steroids in and outside the reproductive neuroendocrine system are analyzed, and in particular the actions of endocrine disruptors (EDs) are being investigated within the EURISKED consortium. Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) and Selective Androgen Modulators (SAMs) of plant and medicinal mushroom origins, and purification of active compounds and their effects on the (ageing) brain, reproductive neuroendocrine, cardiovascular, skeletal and uro-genital systems are investigated in the context of the EUROESTROGENES and NRCT projects.

Scope of research work and objectives: EDs have been defined as exogenous substances that alter function(s) of the endocrine system and consequently cause adverse health effects in an intact organism, or its progeny, or (sub) populations. Molecular and cell biological experiments as well as research in animals and in the human indicate that EDs act via receptors of the steroid receptor super-family and can have effects on many organs of the body. Steroid receptors for estrogens, androgens, adrenocorticoid and thyroid hormones are found in practically all cells of the body. The functions of the brain, thyroid, and the reproductive neuroendocrine, cardiovascular, immune and skeletal systems during development and in adult life are regulated by these hormones, and can therefore be affected by EDs. An EDS with a defined action in one organ (e.g. estrogenic activity) can exert similar or no estrogenic or even antagonistic effects in other organs. Risk assessment for organs known to be estrogen-, androgen-, progestin-, glucocorticoid- or thyroid hormone-receptive following exposure to EDs cannot be completely made yet. The ultimate goal of my research project is to study such effects with basic experimental tools. Due to the high risk of undesirable side effects physicians and patients are now insecure whether to continue or begin with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and are therefore seeking for alternatives. As a result, plant extract producing companies claim estrogenic and/or anti-androgenic activities with only desired but no adverse effects. The most prominent examples are soy bean, white kwoa krua (Pueraria mirifica), and the medicinal mushroom Phellinus linteus. Whether their health claims are justified or not needs to be confirmed both in laboratory tests and in clinical studies. The aim of the present project is therefore to shed some new lights

on the effects of soy isoflavones (genistein, daidzein, equol), puerarin, and the extracts of Phellinus linteus on the brain, reproductive neuroendocrine, skeletal, immune and thyroid functions in both female and male individuals.

Materials and methods: In order to identify substances as EDs with possible estrogenic, anti-estrogenic, androgenic, anti-androgenic, or thyroid hormone action the methods used by my research group are genomic and proteomic array assays, recombinant cell lines with reporter genes, cell lines with defined receptor populations and biological endpoints. For determination of acute and chronic effects in various organs in the neuroendocrine, cardiovascular, skeletal, thyroid, immune and uro-genital systems of developing and steroid-deprived rats or mice, measurements of gene and protein expressions are made. In addition, measurement of the expression of male and female sexual behavior and fertility are also included. ED concentrations in body extracts, organs and the blood of experimental animals are performed.

Expected outcomes: • Risk assessment through in vitro effects of EDs, and of the extracts of the medicinal mushroom Phellinus linteus in cell experiments with special reference to the steroid receptor type involved in these effects and whether these effects may be organ specific • Risk assessment through in vivo effects of EDs, and of the extracts of the medicinal mushroom Phellinus linteus in animal experiments with special reference to multi-organic effects and the resulting risk assessments thereof

Scope of work-objective Many researchers have developed models to display the visual characteristics of real yarns for modeling ply yarns structure, woven fabrics, knitted fabric and complex textile composite yarns. Most of the previous works regarding geometrical modeling of yarn structure are based on single line yarn path. The fiber finite elements are developed to predict yarn. Most of them are regarding the numerical solutions of systems of analytical equations for yarn mechanics. These presentations are limited to virtual representation and prediction of the micromechanical properties of yarn structure. Therefore, other approaches to describe the yarn structure need to be considered.

Material and methods Proposed new geometric model for constructing three-dimensional fibres, yarns and fabrics (woven, knitted and textile composite) structure based on fiber assemblies model.CAD (Computer Aided Design) software is used to model of fabric structures as an assembly of many fibers by twisting based on new geometric model.Next step is finite element analysis method.CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) method is used to predict the properties of the models and is investigated. The results are compared with experiment.
