Coral In focus

Abstract

Currently, climate change and human activities are causing rapid deterioration of coral reefs worldwide. Monitoring coral health is essential for marine ecosystem conservation. This project focuses on developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model to classify coral health into four categories: Healthy, Bleached, Pale, and Dead using Deep Learning techniques. With pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) for image classification. To improve accuracy and mitigate overfitting, 5-fold Cross-Validation is employed during training, and the best-performing model is saved. The results of this project can be applied to monitor coral reef conditions and assist marine scientists in analyzing coral health more efficiently and accurately. This contributes to better conservation planning for marine ecosystems in the future.

Objective

ปะการังเป็นองค์ประกอบสำคัญของระบบนิเวศทางทะเล แต่กำลังเผชิญกับภาวะเสื่อมโทรมจากภาวะโลกร้อนและกิจกรรมของมนุษย์ การตรวจสอบสุขภาพของปะการังในปัจจุบันอาศัยการสำรวจภาคสนาม ซึ่งใช้เวลานานและอาจเกิดข้อผิดพลาด โครงการนี้จึงนำเทคโนโลยีปัญญาประดิษฐ์มาใช้ในการวิเคราะห์ภาพถ่ายปะการัง ช่วยให้การจำแนกสุขภาพของปะการังมีความรวดเร็วและแม่นยำยิ่งขึ้น

A Modern Ultrasonic Cleaning Tank Developed for the Jewelry Manufacturing Process and Its Cleaning Efficiency

Ultrasonic cleaning tank is a machine that many factories widely used to clean objects. At one factory, a problem occurred in the cleaning process, resulting in the factory not being able to clean objects, but cracks also appeared on some objects. It was anticipated that these were caused by uneven acoustics pressure distribution which resulted in unsuitable cavitation This directly affected cleaning performance within the tank. In order to improve the tank's efficacy, in this research, we use Harmonic Response Analysis in ANSYS simulate simulate the occurrence of acoustic pressure in the tank to find the appropriate conditions of factors affected the intensity and the distribution pattern of acoustic pressure in ultrasonic tank, including the position of object, power, ultrasonic frequency and a suitable type and placing position of the transducer for the tank. Reliability of the simulate results was validate by the actual result from the foil corrosion test and the ultrasonic power probe. We found that objects receive different pattern of corrosion at each location. When temperature increasing the intensity of cavitation was increased. When we increase the ultrasonic frequency, acoustic pressure that is evenly dispersed throughout the tank.

Biodiversity of soil microorganisms

Soil is home to a diverse array of living organisms that interact within a complex food web, facilitating energy and nutrient cycling essential for sustaining life above ground. Among these organisms, soil microbes play a crucial role in supporting plant growth. Beneficial microorganisms enhance nutrient availability, improve soil structure by increasing porosity, and strengthen plant resistance to diseases. Conversely, harmful microorganisms, such as plant pathogens, can hinder plant growth and reduce crop yields when present in high concentrations. Neutral microorganisms, which naturally inhabit the soil, contribute to the soil ecosystem without directly impacting plants. A single teaspoon of soil contains over a billion microorganisms, yet only about 1% of them can be cultured in laboratory conditions. This highlights soil as one of the richest reservoirs of microbial diversity on Earth.
