Effects Of Soil Composition, Surfactant Structure And Washing Conditions On Diesel Contaminated Soil Removal Efficiency Using Micellar Solution, Angkana Jantanaprasartporn

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Surfactant solutions are commonly used for the remediation of petroleum-contaminated soil due to their good petroleum removal performance, time-saving capability, and cost effectiveness. However, applying surfactants in excess concentrations could make oil recovery difficult. Moreover, residual surfactants in soil are toxic to microorganisms and plants. Thus, it is crucial to identify a suitable surfactant concentration for soil washing applications. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of soil composition (sand, silt, clay and organic matter), surfactant structure (Tween 20, 40, 60 and 80, and Tergitol 15-S-7, 9 and 15). Subsequently, two surfactants from each series (Tween …

English Language Assessment Policy And Agency Of English Teachers In Thailand, Benjamas Dhammarungruang Jan 2020

English Language Assessment Policy And Agency Of English Teachers In Thailand, Benjamas Dhammarungruang

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

The concept of human agency has received increasing attention in the field of education in the past decade. Education researchers, those in the area of English language education included, have much to grapple with in exploring and conceptualizing agency of teachers—or teacher agency. This is because teacher agency has been emphasized in education policy, stressing the importance of teachers acting as "agents of change." Yet, ironically, education policy both enables and constrains teacher agency due to the conflicts between the rhetoric of policy text and the reality of teaching context faced by the teachers. This paradoxical situation, coupled with the …

Study Of Platelet Production From Megakaryocyte By Using Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell, Jaturawat Pawinwongchai

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Thrombopoiesis is the process of platelet production from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Glycoproteins (GP) Ib-IX-V that is expressed on the surface of megakaryocytes and platelets binds von Willebrand factor (VWF) plays roles in platelet production. Either the GPIb deficiency or hyper-function can cause macrothrombocytopenia, the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, the pathogenesis investigations were performed in the human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) model. CRISPR-Cas9 was used to generate the hiPSCs carrying a gain-of-function GP1BA p.M255V mutation which was described in platelet-type von Willebrand disease (PT-VWD). The GPIb deficiency hiPSCs were previously derived from a Bernard Soulier syndrome …

Application Of Phage Display Technology For The Production Of Antibodies Againststreptococcus Suis Serotype 2, Pattarawadee Sulong Jan 2020

Application Of Phage Display Technology For The Production Of Antibodies Againststreptococcus Suis Serotype 2, Pattarawadee Sulong

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Streptococcus suis (S. suis) serotype 2 infection is problematic in the swine industry and responsible for most cases of human infection worldwide. Since current multiplex PCR cannot differentiate between serotypes 2 and 1/2, then serotype-specific antibodies (Abs) are required for serotype identification to confirm S. suis serotype 2 infection. This study aimed to generate Abs specific to S. suis serotype 2 by phage display from a human heavy chain variable domain (VH) antibody library. For biopanning, whole cells of S. suis serotype 2 were used as the target antigen. With increasing selection stringency, we could select the VH Abs that …

Synthesis Of Nanoscale Zerovalent Iron (Nzvi) Derived From Lignin Containing Wastewater For Arsenic Removal, Phoomipat Jungcharoen

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) plays a significant role in environmental remediation including the removal of arsenic from groundwater and drinking water. This study synthesized modified nZVI particles in order to remove arsenic in drinking water. Reductive precipitation under various conditions was used to produce non-modified nZVI (B-nZVI) and lignin-modified nZVI using either 1 g/L lignin solution (L-nZVI) or pulp and paper wastewater (P-nZVI) as the substrate. Ferrous to borohydride molar ratio of 1:1 was found to be the most appropriate ratio for L-nZVI and P-nZVI production since lignin was incorporated into the nZVI structure the most.

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Riceberry rice, a new pigmented rice variety from Thailand, contained high anthocyanin content and expressed various biological activities. This study aimed to investigate the anti-obesity effects of Riceberry rice extract (RBE) in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and to identify the mechanism of RBE and its phytochemicals on insulin secretion from pancreatic INS-1 cells. In 3T3-L1 cells, RBE inhibited preadipocyte proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest without causing cytotoxicity. During adipogenesis, RBE downregulated transcription factor and adipogenic gene expression leading to the decrease in adipocyte number and triglyceride accumulation. Moreover, RBE reduced glucose uptake by downregulating glucose transporter 4 gene expression and enhanced …
