Newton Iterative Algorithm For Polynomial Modular Inversion Modulo Xn±1 For Some Patterns Of N, Samakorn Sripatthanakul

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This thesis presents an algorithm for computing the modular inverse of a polynomial in a ring of polynomials over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with a characteristic $p$. Given a polynomial $f$ and a natural number $r$, by applying the idea of the Newton iteration algorithm, the fast division algorithm used to find the inverse of $f$ under modulo $x^{p^r}-1$, $x^{p^r}+1$, $x^{2p^r}-1$ and $x^n-1$ where $n=2^r d$ for some $r,d\in\mathbb{N}$, is established. The cost analysis for these cases show that the algorithm has the computational complexity of $\mathcal{O}(n \log n)$ which is more efficient than the Half-GCD algorithm in terms of …


Scheduling Of Pressing Process In Multi-Layer Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing Via Milp And Heuristic, Teeradech Laisupannawong Jan 2021

Genetic Code Expansion Of Plastic-Degrading Enzymes For Detection Of Microplastics, Jariya Jitdee

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Petrochemical plastics can degrade into the size level of microplastics. One source of microplastics is polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE). Enzymes used to degrade PET have been reported. In our work, we wish to repurpose the activity of PET-degrading enzymes, into PET-detecting enzymes, and use the engineered enzyme for microplastic detection, via enzyme engineering to create enzyme variants which can form covalent adducts with microplastic particles. The enzyme-microplastic adduct is generated via the use of 2,3-diaminopropionic acid (DAP) derivative, which we will incorporate in place of the catalytic serine residue at the active site of I. sakeinesis—PETase via the genetic …

Modification Of Screen-Printed Carbon Electrode For Detection Of Pesticides, Kansuda Langor

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Methyl parathion (MP) is an organophosphate pesticide broadly used in agriculture to protect crops and fruits from the damages caused by insects and pests. However, when it is used in large quantities, it can be potentially toxic to humans and animals, causing many poisoning effects. Moreover, its residues can also penetrate the food chain (via agriculture food products) as well as contaminating the environment, leading to air, water and soil pollution. Therefore, rapid determination and reliable quantification of trace level of MP are crucially needed for food safety and environmental monitoring. In this work, a low-cost and portable electrochemical sensor …

Synthesis And Application Of Polymeric Micelles Assembled From Pentafluorophenyl Ester-Containing Amphiphilic Block Copolymers, Panittha Damsongsang Jan 2021

Synthesis And Application Of Polymeric Micelles Assembled From Pentafluorophenyl Ester-Containing Amphiphilic Block Copolymers, Panittha Damsongsang

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Functionalizable pentafluorophenyl ester (PFP)-based polymer precursors, namely poly(pentafluorophenyl acrylate) (PPFPA) and poly(pentafluorophenyl metharylate) (PPFPMA), and zwitterionic poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) are the two polymers having extremely different solubility. It is therefore almost impossible to synthesize their block copolymers in a controlled manner by the conventional approach. Herein, we demonstrated, for the first time, that the synthesis and in situ formation of nanoassemblies of their diblock copolymer can be done via polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) using reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) dispersion polymerization. PMPC was synthesized as the first block and further employed as a macro chain transfer agent (PMPC Macro-CTA) for the synthesis …


Theoretical Study Of Ethylene Polymerization By Phenoxy-Imine Catalyst, Pavee Apilardmongkol Jan 2021

Theoretical Study Of Ethylene Polymerization By Phenoxy-Imine Catalyst, Pavee Apilardmongkol

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Reaction mechanisms of ethylene polymerization catalyzed by the phenoxy-imine (FI) and the nickel phenoxyphosphine polyethylene glycol (Ni-PEG) with alkali metals were explored using DFT calculations. For FI catalysts, the effect of group IVB transition metals substitutions was investigated. The trend of calculated activation energies (Ea) at the rate-determining step is Zr < Hf < Ti and is in good agreement with experiments. The effect of ligands of the Ti-FI-based catalysts when changing the parent nitrogen (O, N) to oxygen (O, O), phosphorus (O, P), and sulfur (O, S) ligands on activity was also monitored. The results indicated that the sulfur (O, S) ligand gives the lowest activation energy. Additionally, the reactivity of Ni-phenoxy-imine (Ni-FI)-based catalysts for polyethylene polymerization was studied. Our calculations suggested that the square planar complex of Ni-FI is more reactive than its C2 symmetric octahedral complex. For Ni-PEG(M) catalysts, the trend for activation energies of four Ni-PEG(M) systems is Li < Na < K < Cs, which corresponds to experimentally observed activities. Moreover, the roles of secondary metals in Ni-PEG catalysts in terms of steric, electronic, and electrostatic effects were elucidated. The DFT results suggested that the active catalyst should have strong cooperative metal-metal/metal-ligand interactions and less positive charge on the secondary metal. Finally, to gain insight into the design of the novel Ni-PEG catalysts with alkali-earth metals, the effect of catalyst structure on experimental activity was investigated. This work provides fundamental understandings of the reaction mechanisms for the FI and Ni-PEG(M) catalysts, which could be used for the design and development of catalysts for ethylene polymerization.

Program Development For Synthesis Plan Design Of Organic Compounds By Using Artificial Intelligence, Tawatchai Jitporn

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Computer-Assisted Synthesis Planning (CASP) is a computational tool for facilitating organic chemists to design and synthesis organic compounds by calculating the best possible synthesis pathways. Most CASP tools are commercial or closed-source software and thus, they cannot be modified to improve performance or update database. Therefore, it is our aim to develop an open-source CASP tool. Library of reaction rules that was created from the US patent database was taken from literature and was then reclassified to improve its applicability. This modified library was then used for training neural network and 2 important models were obtained for the search engine. …


Development Of Colorimetric Paper-Based Analytical Device For Cortisol Detection, Thanathip Kosawatphat Jan 2021

Development Of Colorimetric Paper-Based Analytical Device For Cortisol Detection, Thanathip Kosawatphat

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Nowadays, the detection of cortisol can play a key role in understanding stress-related diseases. Several competitive immunoassay formats have been reported for the detection of this small hormone molecule. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is one of the most widely used platforms that offer its simplicity and rapidity for such analysis. Unlike previous sensors for cortisol sensing that require complicated readers, specialized reagents, or even post-treatment methods to amplify the obtained signal, in this work, we employed a concave test zone constructed on the LFIA device (cLFIA) which can directly enhance the signal response as the flowing sample was substantially concentrated …

Incorporating Context Into Non-Autoregressive Model Using Contextualized Ctc For Sequence Labelling, Burin Naowarat Jan 2021

Incorporating Context Into Non-Autoregressive Model Using Contextualized Ctc For Sequence Labelling, Burin Naowarat

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) loss has become widely used in sequence modeling tasks such as Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) due to its ease of use. CTC itself has no architecture constraints, but it is commonly used with recurrent models that predict letters based on histories in order to relax the conditional independent assumption. However, recent sequence models that incorporate CTC loss have been focusing on speed by removing recurrent structures, hence losing important context information. This thesis presents Contextualized Connectionist Temporal Classification (CCTC) loss, which induces prediction dependencies in non-recurrent and non-autoregressive neural networks for …

Spectral And Latent Representation Distortion For Tts Evaluation, Thananchai Kongthaworn Jan 2021

Spectral And Latent Representation Distortion For Tts Evaluation, Thananchai Kongthaworn

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

One of the main problems in the development of text-to-speech (TTS) systems is its reliance on subjective measures, typically the Mean Opinion Score (MOS). MOS requires a large number of people to reliably rate each utterance, making the development process slow and expensive. Recent research on speech quality assessment tends to focus on training models to estimate MOS, which requires a large number of training data, something that might not be available in low-resource languages. We propose an objective assessment metric based on the DTW distance using the spectrogram and the high-level features from an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) model …


Data Augmentation For Thai Natural Language Processing Using Different Tokenization, Patawee Prakrankamanant Jan 2021

Data Augmentation For Thai Natural Language Processing Using Different Tokenization, Patawee Prakrankamanant

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Tokenization is one of the most important data pre-processing steps in the text classification task and also one of the main contributing factors in the model performance. However, getting good tokenizations is non-trivial when the input is noisy, and is especially problematic for languages without an explicit word delimiter such as Thai. Therefore, we proposed an alternative data augmentation method to improve the robustness of poor tokenization by using multiple tokenizations. We evaluated the performance of our algorithms on different Thai text classification datasets. The results suggested our augmentation scheme makes the model more robust to tokenization errors and can …

A Deep Learning Model For Predicting Long Non-Coding Rna And Messenger Rna With Model Interpretation, Rattaphon Lin

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in many biological processes and are found to be associated with several diseases. The development of next-generation sequencing technologies has discovered numerous unannotated transcripts. However, classifying these unannotated transcripts by using biological experiments is very time-consuming and expensive. Thus, a computational approach is considered as an alternative solution which is faster and cheaper. Many existing lncRNA identification tools are available, these tools lack an explanation of which features contributed to their prediction results. Here, we present Xlnc1DCNN, a tool for distinguishing long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) from protein-coding transcripts (PCTs) together with a prediction …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Research on deep learning models for chest radiology applications has increased attention by the public. However, most works focus on developing models using in-domain data, so the significant drawback, when applied in real-world scenarios, was the mismatched data with the training set. Consequently, some models perform inferior at the deployment stage. This work focused on the effects of dataset mismatch on chest radiography and analyzed the methods the overcome the mismatch issues. The lung balance contrast enhancement technique (lung BCET) automatically identifies the lung region and normalizes the image accordingly to improve the robustness of out-of-domain data developed. Additionally, augmentation …

A Design Of Fpga Framework For Quantum Computing Simulation, Yaninee Jungjarassub

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

​We use FPGA to optimize the simulation of quantum computing in two aspects. (a) The if-else state is used in place of tensor product calculation. This allows the tensor product of each quantum operator to be generated in a single clock cycle. (b) The pre-calculated lookup ROM is used for estimating the sine and cosine values. This facilitates the computation of quantum gates that are related to angle. To validate our work, we implement our design in VerilogHDL. The performance is evaluated using an FPGA simulator. The result shows a dramatic improvement in the simulation process comparing to those of …
