One method to estimate carbon dioxide equivalent absorption and storage in trees is through measuring biomass using the Allometric equation, which utilizes height and circumference information. This research aims to compare tree height measurement tools using a traditional height measuring pole and laser rangefinder camera. A sample group of 97 trees of general deciduous types within a 15,605.10 square meter area of Rajabhat Lampang University was studied. The heights measured by both methods were averaged and categorized into five height classes (H-Class): 2-4, 4-6, 6-8, 8-10, and higher than 10 meters. The average heights measured using the traditional measuring pole were 3.467, 5.033, 6.980, 9.180, and 11.117 meters, respectively. The heights measured with the laser rangefinder yielded averages of 3.290, 4.909, 6.876, 9.062, and 10.940 meters, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference between the two measurement tools at a 95% confidence level and the correlation coefficient (R<sup>2</sup>) value of 0.996. Furthermore, considering measurement errors from three different observers using the laser rangefinder and repeating measurements, no significant differences were found at a 95% confidence level. Calculations for carbon storage in trees using both methods resulted in 19,329 and 19,126 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (kgCO2eq), respectively, with a difference of 1.3%.</p> Sarayut Malai, Lamay Junthakhao, Donrudee Sookjai, Thiranan Sonkaew Copyright (c) 2025 Advanced Science Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://li02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/adscij/article/view/818 Tue, 01 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Effects of Fermented Bio-extract of Sirin Ratsamee Mushroom Mixed 3 Coating (Red Oxide, Red Lime Turmeric and Sulfur Oxide) on Treating Rotten Trunk Wounds in Durian Trees https://li02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/adscij/article/view/805 <p> The effects of fermented bio-extract of sirin ratsamee mushroom mixed 3 coating (red oxide red lime tumeric and sulfur oxide) on treating rotten trunk wounds in durian trees, evaluated based on the width and length of the wounds, as well as the severity of rotting area was found that all tested methods were able to reduce the width and length of the wounds and the disease. The method that combined Sirin Ratsamee mushroom bio-extract with red lime showed the smallest width and length of the wounds, which were 37 and 56.2 centimeters, respectively, with a 53.3 percent deterioration of the disease-causing agents after 21 days of treatment. At the end of the experiment, this method continued to show similar results. Therefore, it can be concluded that using adhesive materials and the bio-extract of Sirin Ratsamee mushrooms and red oxide for wound treatment is suitable and promising for further study and application in controlling trunk rot disease.</p> Titi Thongkamngam, Pairat Amloy, Sukritta Anutrakunchai Copyright (c) 2025 Advanced Science Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://li02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/adscij/article/view/805 Tue, 01 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Preliminary Detection of Alkaloids, Total Phenolic Content, and Antioxidant Activity from Stems and Leaves of Glycosmis pentaphylla (Retz.) DC https://li02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/adscij/article/view/864 <p> This research aims to provide preliminary detection of alkaloids. Total phenolic content was determined using the Folin–Ciocalteu method, and antioxidant activity was tested from the stems and leaves of <em>Glycosmis pentaphylla</em> (Retz.) DC. using the DPPH assay and FRAB assay. 40% Ethanol was used as a solvent. The results of the determination found alkaloids in both the stems and leaves. The total phenolic content in the stem and the leaf extracts was equal to 351.22 ± 15.82 and 329.85 ± 24.63 mg of gallic acid equivalent/g crude extract, respectively. Antioxidant activity was determined for the stem and leaf extracts at a concentration of 1 mg/mL. Its % inhibition of free radicals (DPPH) was equal to 70.10 ± 5.22 and 26.73 ± 6.10 µg/mL, respectively. While the standard Trolox® had a % inhibition of DPPH free radical of 98.85 ± 2.01 µg/mL. Stem and leaf extracts showed TEAC of 393.71 ± 4.86 and 207.20 ± 21.03 µg/mL, respectively. This study shows that the extracts of the stems and leaf of <em>G. pentaphylla</em> (Retz.) DC. exhibited antioxidant activity through multiple mechanisms, both direct free radical scavenging and chain reaction inhibition by the main active compounds in the alkaloid group. In addition, the stem extract of <em>G. pentaphylla</em> (Retz.) DC. had higher total phenolic content than the leaf extract. As a result, the stem extract has better antioxidant activity than the leaf extract. Consequently, the stem sections may be used in place of the leaf.</p> Saran Chaweerak, Aphichat Suphasan, Naphat Srimanta, Supattra Klangprapun Copyright (c) 2025 Advanced Science Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://li02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/adscij/article/view/864 Tue, 01 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Effect of Etlingera pavieana and Water Ratio on Physico-chemical and Sensory Qualities of Gummy Jelly Product https://li02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/adscij/article/view/867 <p> The objective of this research was to study the optimum ratio of <em>Etlingera pavieana</em> and water in <em>Etlingera pavieana</em> gummy jelly product.

A trade deficit can have both positive and negative impacts on the economy of a country. Therefore, forecasting the overall value of imports and exports of a country in advance is very beneficial for strategic planning to manage potential problems arising from a trade deficit. For these reasons, this research studies, analyzes, and compares time series models that can be used to predict the overall volume of imports and exports using statistical methods and machine learning methods including DNN, LSTM, ARIMA, and Prophet. The Mean Squared Error (MSE) values are 0.4116615060290905, 0.9943514149915439, 0.5022269255490994, and 1.4212623390468428, respectively, while the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) values are 0.6416085302028727, 0.9971717078776071, 0.7086797058961822, and 1.1921670768171897, respectively. The experimental results conclude that the DNN model provides the highest efficiency in forecasting both the import and export volumes of goods and services for the country.</p> Tomeyot Sanevong Na Ayutaya Copyright (c) 2025 Advanced Science Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://li02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/adscij/article/view/922 Tue, 01 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700 Optimization of Oligosaccharide Extraction from Sponge Gourd Using Response Surface Methodology and Evaluation of Prebiotic Properties https://li02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/adscij/article/view/1015 <p> Sponge gourd (<em>Luffa aegyptica</em> or <em>Luffa cylindrica</em> (L.) M. roem) is a local plant in the Cucurbitaceae family that is widely consumed in Thailand. A previous study demonstrated the potential of sponge gourd extracts in modulating gut microbiota in animal studies. This research aimed to determine the optimal conditions for extracting oligosaccharides from sponge gourd using hot water extraction to evaluate their prebiotic potential. Key extraction factors influencing oligosaccharide yield were examined, including 1) extraction temperature (X<sub>1</sub>) at 50, 70, and 90 °C, 2) solid-to-liquid ratio (X<sub>2</sub>) at 1:10, 1:20, and 1:30, and 3) pH (X<sub>3</sub>) at levels 2, 5, and 8, using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a Box-Behnken design (BBD). Our findings showed that increased extraction temperature and pH significantly enhanced yield, while the solid-to-liquid ratio had no significant impact on the yield. The highest yield was achieved at 90 °C and pH 8. Under these conditions, extracts were evaluated for prebiotic properties, assessing their tolerance in simulated gastrointestinal conditions and their impact on probiotic growth. Results demonstrated that the non-reducing sugars, representing oligosaccharides from sponge gourd, showed 87.72% resistance to digestive breakdown. Additionally, the extracts promoted the growth of three tested probiotic strains: <em>Lactobacillus plantarum </em>299V, <em>Lactobacillus casei</em> Shirota, and <em>Lactobacillus rhamnosus</em> LGG. This highlights the potential of sponge gourd extract as an effective prebiotic, comparable to commercial alternatives. Future research should concentrate on purifying sponge gourd oligosaccharide extracts and exploring their functional properties in combination with probiotics to facilitate their development into health-enhancing food products.</p> Katayut Yotsanoi, Kanyawee Whanmek, Suwapat Kittibunchakul, Piya Temviriyanukul, Varongsiri Kemsawasd Copyright (c) 2025 Advanced Science Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 https://li02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/adscij/article/view/1015 Tue, 01 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700 The Development of Knockdown House Shop Management System, Wiset Chaichan District, Ang Thong Province https://li02.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/adscij/article/view/925 <p> The objectives of this research were 1) to design and develop an information system for Knockdown House Shops, Wiset Chaichan District, Ang Thong Province, 2) to evaluate the performance of the system. 3) Evaluate the satisfaction of users of the Knockdown House Shop system, Wiset Chaichan District, Ang Thong Province using Visual Studio code program together with C# language and MySQL database.
