Use Of Binary Surfactant Formulations In Low Ift Foam And Surfactant Flood, Sorrawit Tantipalakul Jan 2018

Use Of Binary Surfactant Formulations In Low Ift Foam And Surfactant Flood, Sorrawit Tantipalakul

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Viscous fingering and early breakthrough are the main problems observed during the water flooding. These problems could be overcome by using foam flooding by coinjection of surfactant solution and nitrogen gas as a mobility control in a porous media to help improve the sweep efficiency. To gain the maximum benefits of foam flooding, ultra-low interfacial tension foam was studied to obtain a foaming system with high sweep efficiency and at the same time high oil solubilization to help mobilize the oil phase from reservoir rock. In this work, mixed surfactant systems between sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate (AOT) and internal olefin sulfonate (IOS) …

Knowledge, Attitude And Practice Towards Rational Use Of Antibiotics Among Bangladeshi Medical Tourist In Bangkok, Thailand., Kazi Sabina Arju

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Antibiotics are special drugs used for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections. Antibiotic resistance tends to increase medical expenses, prolonged hospital stays, and increased death rate. Nowadays, antibiotic resistance is one of the most challenges to global public health. Excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics plays an important role in increasing antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance is becoming a global health problem, because the ease of international travel may increase the rapid spread of resistant microorganisms around the world. The aim of this study to strengthen the research gap and to describe the socio-demographic factor and to assess the level …

From “Burmese Brides” To Burmese Wives : Analyzing Transnational Marriages Of Women From Myanmar To Chinese Men Along The Myanmar-Yunnan Frontier, Xuanyi Luo Jan 2018

From “Burmese Brides” To Burmese Wives : Analyzing Transnational Marriages Of Women From Myanmar To Chinese Men Along The Myanmar-Yunnan Frontier, Xuanyi Luo

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Since around 2000, there has a growth of Myanmar women who have married men in Yunnan, China. Media reports from China, Myanmar and the West typically call these women "Burmese brides" and link them to human trafficking, fake marriages, HIV-AIDS, among other issues. This gives the public a negative impression of these women, and views them as mostly vulnerable victims caught in a faceless transnational marriage process. This thesis seeks to correct this limited view and provide a fuller picture of these women and to stress the role of their choice or "agency" in forming their transnational marriages beyond the …

The objectives of this thesis were to detect influenza virus subtypes circulating in different poultry species from Mingalar-Taung-Nyunt live bird market (MTN-LBM) and to determine genetic characteristics and genetic diversity of influenza A …


Appropriate Campylobacter Detection Method And Genetic Variation Of Campylobacter Jejuni In Broilers, Natnicha Phetsri Jan 2018

Appropriate Campylobacter Detection Method And Genetic Variation Of Campylobacter Jejuni In Broilers, Natnicha Phetsri

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Campylobacter has been known as an important cause of gastroenteritis in humans. The primary source is raw or undercooked poultry meat. Previous study showed that Campylobacter isolated from slaughterhouses were associated with Campylobacter isolated from broiler farms. Thus, detection of Campylobacter flock status and sorting flocks prior to slaughtering processes may help prevent Campylobacter contamination between Campylobacter-positive and negative flocks during slaughtering processes. Unfortunately, appropriate sample type and isolation method have not been clearly specified for Campylobacter detection at the farm level. Because Campylobacter are fastidious bacteria, improper detection method can attribute to false negative results. Therefore, the objectives of …
