- PublicationThe Use of Remote Sensing for Estimating the Impact of Climate Change onJapanese Encephalitis Disease Distribution(University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, 2007)
; In Thailand, Japanese encephalitis (JE) occurs primarily in the north and northeastregions and remains a public health problem because the case fatality rate is 10-50%. Thedisease has recently been recognized in new areas and has recurred in previously endemicareas. The environmental interactions are important in the various effects of temperature andrainfall. To tackle with problems on JE, the development of a model that can predict JE case asa function of these environmental factors is needed. Two models have been developed in thisstudy based on time-series analysis. One is in Chiangrai Province that shows high JE cases inThailand and the other is for the whole country, Thailand. The accuracy (R2) of these modelsare 0.970 and 0.783 respectively in 1992-1993 in which model parameters have beendetermined. The models were applied to 1998 data for validation, which showed the accuracy(R2) of 0.727 and 0.621 respectively. Remote sensing data from NOAA AVHRR is introducedto identify rice fields to make it possible to predict JE cases at near real time at the seasonaltime scale in Thailand. The accuracy (R2) of this model is 0.608 in 1998 between the JE casefrom a model and the actual.1 104 - PublicationUsing Geographic Information Systems for Fuel Oil Consumption Distribution in Thailand(University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, 2007)
; ; ; ; Currently, reports of fuel oil consumption reports are commonly presented in terms of tables andgraphs, that maybe difficult for policy makers to make decision. This study develops the GeographicInformation Systems and Intranet system to demonstrate the fuel oil consumption map for each province inThailand by using ArcGIS 9.0, PHP and MySQL as tools. Moreover, the regression model is developed toforecast fuel oil consumption using SPSS for the statistical analysis. The three- year data in 2000-2003 isused for the data analysis and two-year data in 2004 and 2005 for the model validation. The parameters formodel development are Gross Provincial Product (GPP), provincial population and provincial areas. It canbe concluded that the correlation coefficients of fuel oil consumption related in Gross Provincial Product(GPP), provincial population and provincial areas are 0.98, 0.82 and -0.12, respectively.11 107 - PublicationA Novel Approach of Genetic Algorithm for Solving University Timetabling Problems: A Case Study of Thai Universities(University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, 2007)
; ; University timetabling problems have been interested by many researchers for more than adecade. However, there is no appropriated solution or computation model available to solve these problemssuccessfully. This is because of many different version of timetabling problems. In this paper, a novalapproach of Genetic Algorithm (GA) for solving educational timetabling problem is proposed, including theconstraints statements, the definition of a hierarchical structure for the fitness function, and the generalizedgenetic operators, which can be applied to matrices representing timetables. The paper focuses on lecturingtimetables only, but not the examinational timetabling. The crossover rate and mutation rate were varied toconduct effective results and they shows that the given appropriate crossover rate of 50% and mutation rateof 50% is the best ratio to solve university timetabling problems.5 69 - PublicationA HCI Keyboard Layout Design for Blind People(University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, 2007)
; ; Presently, computers have become a part of everybodydaily life, including disables such as blind people. Akeyboard is a main input equipment of computers.However, these keyboards are not yet suitable for blindpeople, especially for the Thai alphabet system. Thispaper proposes a new layout design of computer keyboardfor blind people. The research results show that Braillecharacter code is very attractive to be used for designingthe layout. Many mechanisms for arrangement the keysor buttons are investigated and the results shows that totype Thai Braille character code, the keyboard layoutrequires add/drop cells buttons in addition to the normalbuttons representing number 1 to 6 of the Braille charactercode. Moreover, the results suggest that such buttonsmust be in order of 5 3 1 2 4 and 6 rather than 1 2 3 4 5 and6 which has been used in many keyboard currentlyavailable on the market.44 116 - PublicationAutomatic Measuring System for HIV Antivirals on Antiviral Neviraphene Sheets(University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, 2007)
