    This work studied the effect of nanoclay surface modified with 25-30 wt% of methyl dihydroxyethyl hydrogenated tallow ammonium (Clay-DHA) on morphological, mechanical and thermal properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) blends. The PLA/PBAT (75/25 w/w) blends without and with Clay-DHA were melt mixed by an internal mixer and molded by compression method. The morphological analysis observed the phase separation of PLA/PBAT blends due to minor PBAT phase dispersed as spherical shape in PLA phase, indicating a poor interfacial adhesion between PLA and PBAT phases. The incorporation of Clay-DHA could improve the compatibility of polymer blends. The tensile testing found that the addition of Clay-DHA 1 and 3 phr increased Young’s modulus of PLA/PBAT blends. The addition of Clay-DHA decreased the strain at break of PLA/PBAT blends. The thermal degradation of PLA/PBAT blends and composites showed the similar thermal degradation process step. The addition of Clay-DHA was no effect on thermal stability and thermal properties of PLA/PBAT blends.

    Proteins are essential structural and functional components of human cells. Understanding and identifying proteins can provide valuable insights into their structure, function and role in human body. Subcellular proteins provide the expression that characterizes the many proteins and their conditions across cell types. This work proposed a classification model for subcellular protein patterns using XGBoost with transfer learning of CNN as the feature extractor. In the model training process, we used ResNet50, VGG16, Xception, and MobileNet as the pre-trained models based on the transfer learning technique to extract different features. The proposed model was used to classify subcellular proteins into 28 patterns. The XGBoost with ResNet50, VGG16, MobileNet, and Xception model achieved an accuracy level of 92.20% 92.77%, 91.63%, and 91.44%, respectively. The XGBoost with ResNet50, VGG16, MobileNet, and Xception model obtained an F1 score of 0.9179, 0.9233, 0.9131, and 0.9152, respectively. Considering the F1 score, All XGBoost with transfer learning of CNN models gave a high score. Therefore, all evaluation parameters clearly demonstrate the high performance of the subcellular protein pattern classification model.

    (2012-12-01) ;
    Wacharawichanant, Sirirat
    The identification of dispersed phase droplet in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image is the heart of the process polymer blends, especially for the development of the polymeric materials and improvement of the polymer properties. Manual identification is the hard work and inaccurate method. To solve this problem, a digital image processing (DIP) method based on Hough transform is proposed for automatically identifies the dispersed phase droplet in SEM images. By combining the characteristics of SEM images and the DIP method, this method performed hierarchical Hough transform on the circular droplet to detect the object boundary in the SEM images. The DIP method has been experimented on variety of SEM images and very promising results have been achieved given more accuracy. Experimental results show that the proposed method with high adaptability is more accurate and rapidly than the traditional method. © 2012 IEEE.

    (2020-08-01)
    The clinical information can enhance the doctors for predicting and diagnosing the diseases also making the right decisions. Breast cancer is the most dangerous disease, early diagnosis can improve a chance of survival and can support clinical treatment. Detecting breast cancer takes a lot of time and it is hard to classification. However, the problem of the classification occurs when there is an unequal distribution of classes the dataset. This is caused by the low performance in the traditional machine learning models. For this reason, this work proposed the cost-sensitive XGBoost model, which is an improved version of the XGBoost model in conjunction with cost-sensitive learning. The models were applied to classify the four breast cancer datasets that contained the imbalanced data. In the experiment, this work determined the best parameters on each dataset by the hyperparameters optimization technique before configuring the models. The results indicated that the cost-sensitive XGBoost model had been skillful, and could improve classification accuracy in four datasets. In addition, this work evaluated the model performance by accuracy, ROC AUC, and k-Fold cross-validation to ensure that the new models is accurate.

    This work studied the morphology, mechanical and thermal properties of poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/ethylene-octene copolymer (EOC) (80/20) blends with different organoclay types. Herein, EOC was introduced to toughening PLA by melt blending and organoclay was used to improve compatibility and tensile properties of the blends. The two organoclay types were nanoclay surface modified with aminopropyltriethoxysilane 0.5-5 wt% and octadecylamine 15-35% (Clay-ASO) and nanoclay surface modified with dimethyl dialkyl (C14-C18) amine 35-45 wt% (Clay-DDA). The organoclay contents were 3, 5 and 7 phr. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation results revealed PLA/EOC blends demonstrated a two-phase separation of dispersed EOC phase and PLA matrix phase. The addition of organoclay significantly improved the compatibility between PLA and EOC phases due to EOC droplet size decreased dominantly in PLA matrix, so organoclay could act as an effective compatibilizer. The incorporation of organoclay increased significantly tensile strength of PLA/EOC/organoclay composites while Young’s modulus increased with 5 phr of organoclay. The thermal stability of PLA/EOC blends did not change when compared with neat PLA, and when added Clay-ASO in the blends could improve the thermal stability of the PLA/EOC blends.
