This is the first study on “ribbed smoked sheets (RSS)” as a geogrid reinforcement in geotechnical engineering. An RSS is a kind of natural para rubber. RSS (grade 3) was designed as a biaxial geogrid with an aperture size of 20 mm ×...
The size distribution and total particle mass concentration (TPMC) of smoke particles from para rubber wood (Hevea brasiliensis) combustion in the ribbed smoked sheet (RSS) process were studied. In this experiment, temperature data values of para rub...
Para rubber feedstock production potential was explored in Hat Yai district. The study focused on the respondent’s socioeconomic status, feedstock production potential, and mapped the relevant actors along the supply chain. Structured questionn...
The coagulating properties of wood vinegar from para rubber wood, bamboo, and coconut shell used as a substitute for acetic acid in the production process of natural rubber (NR) sheets were investigated and considered. For the dirt and volatile conte...
In this work, elastic natural rubber compound sheet (RCS) and ribbed smoked sheet grade 3 (RSS) were studied as alternative replacements for polymer geogrid for soil reinforcement. In order to investigate the reinforcing effectiveness in three distin...
At present, Para rubber is an economical crop which provides a high priced product and is in demand by global markets. Consequently, the government of Thailand is promoting the expansion of Para rubber plantations throughout the country. Traditionall...
Natural rubber is usually synthesized in the rubber particles present in the latex of rubber-producing plants such as the Pará rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) and rubber dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz). Since the detailed lipid compositions...
Currently, Songkhla Province of Thailand has been recognized as a convenient hub of rubber industry development, accompanied by an attendant abundance of rubber tree plantations. A spatialized assessment of the rubber tree was carried out to estimate...
Para rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) are the largest major source of natural rubber in the world. Its major pathogens are Phytophthora spp., Corynespora cassiicola, and Colletotrichum spp. A rubber diversity panel of 116 clones using over 12,000 si...
Classification of the crosslink density level of para rubber medical gloves by using near-infrared spectral data combined with machine learning is the first time reported in this paper. The spectra of medical glove samples with different crosslink de...
Thailand is one of the upcoming wood pellet exporters in the Southeast Asia region. Wood pellet production has been gradually increasing in Thailand; however, the recent trend is more rapid. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the fe...
Allergenic proteins in natural rubber latex (NRL) pose significant health risks, particularly in rubber gloves. This study evaluated RNA interference (RNAi) technology for silencing HbREF (rubber elongation factor) and HbSRPP (small rubber particle p...
Thailand has increased wood pellet production for export and domestic use. The variations in production processes, raw materials, and transportation related to wood pellet production make it necessary to evaluate the environmental impacts assessment....
Currently, workers in the ribbed smoked sheet (RSS) rubber production industry face increasing health risks, primarily due to their direct involvement in converting fresh latex into raw rubber sheets. This process involves the manual addition of appr...
Occupational exposure to commercial formic and acetic acids through dermal contact and inhalation during rubber sheet processing poses significant health risks to workers. Additionally, the use of these acids contributes to environmental pollution by...
Natural rubber latex (NRL) is a polymer (blend) extracted from the milky sap of para rubber trees. Due to being a natural biopolymer, NRL contains various proteins that may be allergenic to humans when in skin contact. Attempts have been made to use...
South American leaf blight (SALB) of Para rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.) is a serious fungal disease that hinders rubber production in the Americas and raises concerns over the future of rubber cultivation in Asia and Africa. The exist...
Transgenic technology is a crucial tool for gene functional analysis and targeted genetic modification in the para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). However, low efficiency of plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis remains a bottleneck of...
In recent years, climate change has greatly affected agricultural activity, sustainability and production, making it difficult to conduct crop management and food security assessment. As a consequence, significant changes in agricultural land and lan...
Guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray) is a perennial desert shrub currently under investigation as a viable commercial alternative to the Pará rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), the traditional source of natural rubber. Previous studies on guayu...
Rubber dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz Rodin, TKS), also referred to as Russian dandelion, is one of the most promising natural rubber (NR)-producing plants that produce high-quality NR comparable to that from the Pará rubber tree (Hevea brasi...
During 29–31 September 2019, tropical storm Podul moved into the Kaeng Lawa sub-watershed (KLs), the upstream area of the Chi watershed, causing the worst flooding in 40 years. This study was carried out to analyze the watershed characteristic...
Aramid, chemically known as para phenylene terephthalamide or PPD-T, has been widely used in the reinforcement of telecommunication cables, rubber materials (transmission belts, pneumatic belts), ballistic clothing, and frictional materials primarily...
Human activity and land-use changes have affected the water quality of Kwan Phayao, Upper Ing watershed, due to the associated high sediment load and eutrophication. This study aims to identify suitable LULC allocation scenarios for minimizing sedime...
Semantic segmentation is a fundamental task in remote sensing image analysis that aims to classify each pixel in an image into different land use and land cover (LULC) segmentation tasks. In this paper, we propose MeViT (Medium-Resolution Vision Tran...
