    One of the key requirements for supervised learning in deep learning model construction is the dataset for training and validation. For gathering the dataset, obtaining various image qualities from different resources is unavoidable, and this has been considered to affect the supervised model performance. This research proposes to demonstrate the effect of image quality involving high and standard datasets obtained from 2 different resources on the performance of models. The various cell characteristics with gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria datasets were challenged for trial. These different datasets were matched and contributed to 5 cases; case 1: train and test with high-quality images, case 2: train with high-quality images and test with standard quality images, case 3: train and test with images of standard quality, case 4: train with standard-quality images and test with high-quality images, and case 5: train and test with combining these two image qualities. Pre-trained CNN models were implemented to prove the purpose with and without stratified K-fold cross-validation. The results of retrained models showed that the high-performance models require high-quality datasets obtained from the same resource as the testing set, which yield more than 90% of all performance evaluation metrics when tested on challenging unseen datasets. This study provides valuable insights for building high-performance models that can be applied to automate microbiology diagnostics, impacting public health and clinical practice.

    This study presents a proof-of-concept deep learning approach for automated detection and classification of restorative dental instruments on standardized trays, aiming to support workflow automation and infection control in dental supply units. A dataset comprising 1,000 images and 14,000 annotated instances of restorative dental instruments across 14 categories was developed. The YOLOv8 model was trained and evaluated on this dataset using standard object detection metrics, including precision, recall, and mean average precision at IoU thresholds 0.5 (mAP@0.5) and 0.5:0.95 (mAP@[0.5:0.95]). To assess model advancement, YOLOv8 performance was compared against its predecessors, YOLOv5, YOLOv6, and YOLOv7, under identical experimental settings. A session-level data split was implemented as the primary evaluation to minimize data leakage and provide a realistic estimate of generalization across unseen tray configurations. The YOLOv8 model achieved highest mean average precision mAP@0.5 of 95.9% and mAP@[0.5:0.95] of 80.9%, demonstrating robust detection capability under both standard and stringent evaluation thresholds. Across instrument categories, YOLOv8 demonstrated precision ranging from 90.3% to 100% and recall from 80.6 to 98.5%. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of using YOLOv8 for automated restorative dental instrument detection as an early-stage tool for improving supply unit efficiency. While results indicate high detection accuracy and robustness, further validation in diverse clinical environments is needed. Future deployment should incorporate human-in-the-loop verification, audit trails, and error escalation mechanisms to ensure safe and accountable AI-assisted workflows.

    The ever-increasing demand for intercity travel, as well as competition among all modes of transportation, is an unavoidable reality that today’s urban rail transit system must deal with. To meet this problem, urban railway companies must try to make better use of their existing plans and resources. Analytical approaches or simulation modeling can be used to develop or change a rail schedule to reflect the appropriate passenger demand. However, in the case of complex railway networks with several interlocking zones, analytical methods frequently have drawbacks. The goal of this article is to create a new simulation-based optimization model for the Bangkok railway system that takes into account the real assumptions and requirements in the railway system, such as uncertainty. The common particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is combined with the developed simulation model to optimize the headways for each period in each day. Two different objective functions are incorporated into the models to consider both customer satisfaction by reducing the average waiting time and railway management satisfaction by reducing needed energy usage (e.g., reducing operating trains). The results obtained using a real dataset from the Bangkok railway system demonstrate that the simulation-based optimization approach for robust train service timetable scheduling, which incorporates both passenger waiting times and the number of operating trains as equally important objectives, successfully achieved an average waiting time of 11.02 min (with a standard deviation of 1.65 min) across all time intervals.

    Computer vision adjunctive technology for oral lesion diagnoses has been developed to detect and identify Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMDs) and non-OPMDs. The early detection of OPMDs can reduce the risk of oral cancer development, improving the survival rate of the patients. This study aims to evaluate the computer vision technique in the white oral lesion domain within the scope of photographic images. Deep learning techniques for the classification of Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) and transformer neural networks, and one-stage models of YOLOv7 and YOLOv8 were utilized to classify and detect five classes of OPMDs and non-OPMDs oral white lesions including oral leukoplakia, oral lichen planus, pseudomembranous candidiasis, oral ulcers covered with pseudomembrane and other white benign oral lesions. From the evaluation results of classification, the IFormerBase model achieves overperformance compared to CNN models with accuracy, precision, and F1 score of more than 80% on the test set. The best model for object detection is YOLOv7 with 84.5% mean Average Precision (mAP) at Intersection over Union (IoU) threshold of 0.3 and 74.5% at IoU of 0.5 on the test set. Object detection results reveal promising automatic oral lesion identification, which can be further developed to enhance the lesion screening system.

    Efficient crowd evacuation from railway platforms is critical for passenger safety during emergencies. This study introduces a novel dynamic emergency evacuation route generator using the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm within a custom-built 3D simulation environment developed in Unity. We independently created a detailed digital twin of Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal, Thailand's largest train station, and implemented all elements of the simulation, including the Social Force Model, to accurately replicate crowd behaviors and interactions during evacuation scenarios. Through extensive training over 3,000,000 episodes, our PPO-based model achieved significant improvements in evacuation efficiency. The results indicate that in a major emergency scenario, increasing the number of agents in the station reduced the number of remaining passengers from 111 to just 6, highlighting the model's effectiveness. Similarly, in a minor emergency scenario, the average number of remaining passengers dropped from 38 to 1 with the addition of more agents. These findings confirm the model's ability to adapt to different emergency conditions, offering a practical and scalable solution for enhancing evacuation strategies in high-density environments. Furthermore, increasing the agents' sight range also improved evacuation efficiency, with a 20-meter sight range yielding the best results.
