Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities of Zanthoxylum rhetsa Root

2026-05-28T10:41:42+07:00

Dried roots of Zanthoxylum rhetsa were extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol using maceration technique to obtain the hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol crude extracts, respectively. All crude extracts were examined for the total phenolic and total flavonoid constituents, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. In addition, the preliminary phytochemical screening for the main groups of secondary metabolites were also investigated. The general detection reagents showed the presence of various secondary metabolites, especially the alkaloids which was the major component of all extracts. The highest total phenolic and total flavonoid were found in the methanol crude extract, followed by the crude ethyl acetate and hexane extracts. The methanol crude extract exhibited the strongest DPPH radical scavenging activity (IC₅₀; 1.12 ± 0.01 mg/mL) and reducing power in the comparison to the other extracts. The evaluation of antioxidant activities of all extracts showed a positive correlation between total phenolic and total flavonoid contents. The results of cytotoxicity screening found that hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol crude extracts exhibited specific and potent cytotoxic effect against only small cell lung cancer NCI-H187 with IC₅₀ values of 22.78, 26.50 and 3.37 μg/mL, respectively. The present study suggests that the extracts of Z. rhetsa roots are a new source of natural antioxidant for protective as well as prevention of life-threating diseases. In addition, the root of Z. rhetsa may have the potential to be developed into therapeutic option for treating cancer with high specificity.

Meringue Product from By-product Salted Egg White, Chaiya District, Suratthani Province

2026-05-28T11:31:01+07:00

This research aimed to study the effect of carrageenan on dried egg white powder. The waste of raw salted egg white (from the duck eggs) was dialyzed to remove the excess salt, then mixing with carrageenan at 0, 0.4 and 0.8% (w/w). The mixture was dried and then ground to powder. The results showed that the density of meringue foam with the presence 0.4% carrageenan in egg white was lowest while the volume was highest, and the stability of foam maintained for 180 min without liquid drainage. The L*, a* and b* values of dried egg white powder were 82.74, -0.33 and 17.19, respectively. The pH value was 7.26 and 3.59% salt and 4.80% moisture content were found. It was revealed that the overall liking of the flavored-meringue products, made from dried egg white, was ranged between moderate and very much liking by untrained panelists. After 7 day-storage, the moisture content of meringue increased, while the hardness and crispiness decreased.

Fatigue Life Prediction of Shipper Shaft of Electric Crawler Excavator by Finite Element Method

2026-05-28T12:44:06+07:00

The objective of this research is to predict the fatigue life of shipper shaft of the electric crawler excavator which is the major machine of Mae Moh mine. The method of study began with finding the fatigue resistance of the test material based on ASME B106.1M:1985 standard and creating an equation for predicting the fatigue life according to the Basquin's equation. Then the finite element method by NASTRAN program was used to analyze the stresses of shipper shaft of the electric crawler excavator and predict the fatigue life of shipper shaft of the electric crawler excavator. The results from the prediction of the fatigue life of shipper shaft of the electric crawler excavator while receiving the fatigue stress of 423 MPa were 276,449 cycle. The predict life equation is

A Study on Properties of Concrete Pavement Mixing Marble Powder

2026-05-28T12:59:00+07:00

A study on properties of concrete combined with marble powder pavement used the marble powder instead of using cement with the ratio 10%, 20%, and 30% by weight. In this case, the marble powder was the industrial waste from the marble production industry at Pran Kra Tai, kamphaengphet province. Determining water and cement ratio (W/B) as 0.40, the researcher tested the physical and mechanical properties, for instance, the water absorption and flexural strength according to Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) no.378-2531. The result of the study showed that concrete combined with marble polishing powder pavement with the ratio 10% and 20% were qualified with the Thai Industrial Standards Institute with the water absorption at 3.61 % and 4.12 % which was not over 10%. The transverse blending resistance was 3.81 and 3.24 MPa (not less than 3.00 MPa). However, if the marble powder was increased up to 20%, this resulted in the disagreement between the transverse blending resistance and Thai Industrial Standards Institute.

Convergence Theorems for a Hybrid Pair of Nonexpansive Mappings in CAT (0) Spaces

2026-05-28T13:12:00+07:00

In this paper, we constructed an iteration scheme involving a hybrid pair of the single valued nonexpansive mapping t and the multivalued nonexpansive mapping T of a complete CAT(0) space. In process, we removed a restricted condition (called end-point condition) in Akkasriworn and Sokhuma’s results (Akkasriworn and Sokhuma. 2015: 177–189) and utilized the same to prove some convergence theorems. The result is an expansion from Banach spaces results of Uddin, Abdou and Imdad. (Uddin, Abdou and Imdad. 2014: 1–13).
