Thermal management of photovoltaic module using affordable organic phase change material combined with nano metal oxide particles enhancer.

Phase change materials (PCMs) have been widely recognized as a highly efficient medium for thermal energy storage. Many studies have identified the low thermal conductivity of PCMs. In the current investigation, the researchers have blended PCM with nanoparticles to enhance its thermal conductivity and electrical efficiency.

Potential investigation of combined natural dye pigments extracted from ivy gourd leaves, black glutinous rice and turmeric for dye-sensitised solar cell.

Environmental sustainability, resource availability, and cost-effectiveness are the driving forces behind the search for natural sensitised dyes to replace synthetic ones. Using a combination of pigments as the sensitised dye in dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) offers several advantages over using a single pigment. In this present study, natural dyes with different pigments were extracted from three local plants: Coccinia grandis (Ivy gourd leaves, IGL), Oryza sativa Linn (Black glutinous rice, BGR), and Curcuma longa L.

Effects of Eryngii mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) and Lactobacillus plantarum on growth performance, immunity and disease resistance of Pangasius catfish (Pangasius bocourti, Sauvage 1880).

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Eryngii mushroom, Pleurotus eryngii (PE), and Lactobacillus plantarum single or combined on growth, innate immune response and disease resistance of the Pangasius catfish, Pangasius bocourti. Two hundred forty fish were divided into four treatments, i.e.

Effects of Feeding Rates on Growth Performance, Feed Utilization and Body Composition of Asian Red Tail Catfish (Hemibagrus wyckioides), Cultured in Northeast Thailand.

Two experiments were carried out at the Khon Kaen University, Nong Khai Campus, Thailand during November, 2011 to May, 2012 to search for the most appropriate rates of feeding rations for fingerling and juvenile Asian redtail catfish (Hemibagrus wyckioides). A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications was used for both experiments. Experiment 1 had four treatments, i.

Effects of low molecular weight agar and Lactobacillus plantarum on growth performance, immunity, and disease resistance of basa fish (Pangasius bocourti, Sauvage 1880).

This study evaluated effects of low molecular weight agar (LMWA) and Lactobacillus plantarum singly or combined on growth performance, immunity and disease resistance of basa fish (Pangasius bocourti). Two hundred forty fish were divided into four treatments, i.e.

A morphological identification in fish of the genus Puntius Hamilton 1822 (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) of some wetlands in Northeast Thailand.

This investigation was carried out at the Department of Fisheries, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand in collaboration with the Department of Biosciences, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, United Kingdom. The work was carried out in the 2003 to 2006 to taxonomically identify fish of the genus Puntius Hamilton 1822 harvested from 15 wetlands in Northeast Thailand. Some considerable amounts of fish samples were collected and used for morphological characteristics identifications both measuring and counting.

An identification in fish of the genus Puntius Hamilton 1822 (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) of some wetlands in northeast Thailand with the use of random amplified polymorphic DNA technique.

The experiment was carried out during the 2003 to 2006 at the Department of Fisheries, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand in collaboration with the Department of Biosciences, the University of Hertfordshire, College Land, Hatfield, Herts, UK. Molecular RAPD technique was used for the determinations of DNA patterns of the fish genus Puntius Hamilton 1822. The fish samples of 1,500 individual fish were collected from fifteen wetlands in Northeast Thailand and they were used for DNA extraction.

Effects of phosphorus and potassium on growth, yield and fodder quality of IS 23585 forage sorghum cultivar (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench).

This growth analysis experiment was carried out at Khon Kaen University Experimental Farm, Khon Kaen, Northeast Thailand in the 2000, in order to justify the effects of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) levels added to Yasothon soil series (Oxic Paleustults) on dry matter yield and fodder quality of IS 23585 forage sorghum cultivar. The experiment was laid in a 4x4 factorial arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. The P levels used were 0, 37.
