Thai red curry paste consists of herbs which have potential to be natural antibacterial agents. Therefore 7 herbs of Thai curry paste ingredients; Chili (Capsicum annuum), Kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix), Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.), Shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.),Garlic (Allium sativum), Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citrates), and Galangal (Alpinia galangal), were investigated for their individual antibacterial activity againt Salmonella enterica Enteritidis (human) and Listeria monocytogenes 10403S by agar diffusion method Agar under 3 extraction3; ...

This paper presents and discusses the increasing importance of advanced building simulations in the design of high performance buildings. A changing building design industry increasingly requires simulations to achieve high energy efficiency and sustainability, while safeguarding occupant comfort, for the built environment. The paper introduces two main numerical design tools, energy simulations (ES) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Much of the building industry and even many academic architecture programs have not yet embraced advanced ...

This paper presents an alternative algorithm for integrating the existing knowledge of a supervised learning neural network with the new training data. The algorithm allows the existing knowledge to age out in slow rate as a neural network is gradually retrained with consecutive sets of new samples, resembling the change of application locality under a consistent environment. The algorithm also utilizes the contour preserving classification algorithm to increase the accuracy of classification. The experiment is performed on 2-dimension partition ...
