Periodic-Review Order Policy For A Two-Echelon Inventory Problem With Seasonal Demand, Noppadon Sakulsom Jan 2018

Periodic-Review Order Policy For A Two-Echelon Inventory Problem With Seasonal Demand, Noppadon Sakulsom

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This dissertation presents methodologies to determine ordering policies for a 2-echelon inventory system with multiple replenishing modes under seasonal demand. The system operates on periodic review basis using reorder point and order-up-to point or (R,s,S). An Echelon stock concept is applied where each location makes decisions on its own inventory information and the information of all locations downstream. We decompose a problem into two phases and propose a methodology based on mixed-integer programming models to determine ordering policies for a system with one replenishing mode. Then, another methodology based on the genetic algorithm and binary search is developed to solve …

Preparation And Stabilization Of Saccharide Fiber Produced By Centrifugal Spinning, Pattama Donghuntong

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

The objectives of this study were to prepare saccharide fiber via centrifugal spinning and further investigate its stability under stress condition. Different saccharides were chosen and spun via centrifugal force to form thread like matter. The results indicated that sucrose (SC) and trehalose (TH) could be fabricated as fiber whereas other saccharides were not able to form. The formation of fiber mainly involved with glass transition temperature (Tg), molten ability including stability of saccharide after melting. High Tg saccharides were a good candidate on fiber preparation. Homogeneous melting with appreciable stability was another factor affecting on fiber preparation. Decomposing after …

An Empirical Study Of Human Capital On Economic Growth: An Investigation Using Three Indices Of Human Capital, Shan Shan Fu Jan 2018

An Empirical Study Of Human Capital On Economic Growth: An Investigation Using Three Indices Of Human Capital, Shan Shan Fu

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This research reexamines the augmented Solow's growth model to find the relationship between human capital and economic growth by using three different proxies for human capital. The first proxy of human capital is the proportion of labor force with secondary education that has been widely used in many studies. PISA score is the second proxy to human capital. It is regarded as being quality of education because this standardized test score could directly reflect the cognitive ability of individuals. The third proxy is the human capital index constructed by Penn's World Table 9.0 that included both quantitative and qualitative aspects …

Expenditure Patterns Of Households Receiving Remittances In Thailand, Sha Ma Jan 2018

Expenditure Patterns Of Households Receiving Remittances In Thailand, Sha Ma

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This article, through the data of the Statistics Bureau of Thailand in 2007 and 2015, examines whether remittances brought about by economic migration will affect household expenditure patterns. This study includes three expenditure patterns: education expenditure, housing expenditure, food and beverage expenditure. The result shows remittances have no effect on housing expenditures. Families receiving remittances, the non-poor households pay more on education than the poor households. And poor households always have more expenditure on food and beverage than non-poor households.

Critical Exponent For Nonlinear Nonlocal Equations, Auttawich Manui Jan 2018

Critical Exponent For Nonlinear Nonlocal Equations, Auttawich Manui

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

In this thesis, we study the nonlinear nonlocal equation ∂t u=J*u-u+u¹+p where p>0 and J is nonnegative, bounded, and radially symmetric with unit integral. The Fourier transform of J satisfies J ̂(ξ)=1-A|ξ|^β (ln1/|ξ| 〗 )^μ+o(〖|ξ|〗^β (ln〖1/(|ξ|)〗 )^μ ) as ξ→0, for 0<β≤2, μ∈R, and A>0. In this study, we establish the local existence, uniqueness, and the comparison principle of solutions. Furthermore, we show that the Fujita critical exponent for this equation is β/n when μ<0. For the case μ>1, we discover that the critical exponent is β/n , and the solutions belong to the global to the small initial data regime.

Streaming Data Classification Method Using Scalable Hyper-Ellipsoids With Linear Discriminant Projection Distance Ratio, Perasut Rungcharassang

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Learning streaming data with limited size of memory storage becomes an interesting problem. Although there have been several learning methods recently proposed, based on the interesting concept of discard-after-learn, the performance of these issues: the learning speed, number of redundant neurons, and classification accuracy of these methods can be further improved in terms of faster speed, less number of neurons, and higher accuracy. The following new four concepts and approaches were proposed in this dissertation: (1) a more generic structure of hyper-ellipsoidal function called Scalable Hyper-Ellipsoidal Function (SHEF) capable of handling the problem of curse of dimensionality by introducing a …

A Numerical Investigation Of Augmented Heat Transfer In Rectangular Ducts With Ribs, Warissara Tangyotkhajorn Jan 2018

A Numerical Investigation Of Augmented Heat Transfer In Rectangular Ducts With Ribs, Warissara Tangyotkhajorn

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

The application of roughness structure of ribs inside a smooth channel is one effective way of heat transfer augmentation, but the accompanied pressure drop could be high. A novel V-rib design with branches was introduced and numerical simulations on the thermo-fluid impact of heat transfer and pressure drop were investigated. The parameters of investigation include the branching number and the pitch ratio of the V-ribs. It appears that increasing the relative pitch ratio serves to improve the overall performance of a roughened channel. The effect of the branching number is only experienced at low pitch ratio. At high pitch ratio, …

The Measurement Of Transverse Relaxation Time (T2) Using Histogram From Roi Setting In Muscle Activity Study At 1.5 Tesla Mri, Kannikar Kanyakham

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Muscle functional MRI (mfMRI) is the method to evaluate the muscle activity before and immediately after the muscle exercise by the magnetic resonance images. Exercise of skeletal muscles enhances image contrast in T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images. In previous studies, the exercised physiology used multiple-spin-echo (MSE) sequences for calculating transverse relaxation time (T2) with several small regions of interest (ROI) within the target tissue. Such a method may not represent all properties of the target tissue. The purpose of this study is to measure T2 in rest and exercise muscle at 1.5 Tesla MRI using average mode values in histogram …
