Publication Open Access Factors in Community Adaptation for Climate Change Mitigation in Thailand(2024) Tipmol Traiyut; Patranit Srijuntrapun; Wee RawangThis study reflects the experiences of communities who have adapted to climate change in three different geological locations in the country of Thailand: by the riverside, coast, and in the mountains. The communities presented the lessons learned... and identified key adaptation factors. The study used in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, with results showing that the community’s learning and adaptation to climate change were at a high level. The results broaden understanding of climate changePublication Metadata only Farmers' intention and decision to adapt to climate change: A case study in the Yom and Nan basins, Phichit province of Thailand(2017-02-01) Noppol Arunrat; Can Wang; Nathsuda Pumijumnong; Sukanya Sereenonchai; Wenjia Cai; Tsinghua University; Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University; Communication University of China© 2016 Elsevier Ltd Adaptation at farm level is an effective measure to cope with global climate change. The study aims to clarify farmers' intentions and decisions regarding global climate change adaptation. Logistic regression models were used... to examine the influences of socioeconomic factors and climate adaptation communication processes on farmers' decision to apply adaptation strategies against drought and flood. Specifically, for a thorough understanding of non-adapting farmers, the theoryPublication Metadata only Coastal household adaptation cost requirements to sea level rise impacts(2013-01-01) Amornpun Kulpraneet; Mahidol University. Faculty of Environment and Resource StudiesThis study assessed the autonomous adaptation cost requirements of coastal households to sea level rise impacts at a level to accommodate and protect (excluding retreat). The study examined six vulnerable villages, including both urbanized... and fishery communities, located in the Gulf of Thailand. Half of them were near the shore, and the other half were further inland. In initiating the study, to assess actual adaptation costs, common household adaptative measures were first identifiedPublication Metadata only Co-adaptation in a Handwriting Recognition System(2018-09-06) Sunsern Cheamanunkul; Yoav Freund; University of California, San Diego; Mahidol Universityhandwriting recognizers that perform well for all users. A natural solution is to use machine learning to adapt the recognizer to the user. One complicating factor is that, as the computer adapts to the user, the user also adapts to the computer and probably... changes their handwriting. This paper investigates the dynamics of coadaptation, a process in which both the computer and the user are adapting their behaviors in order to improve the speed and accuracy of the communication through handwriting. We devisedPublication Metadata only Complete-proteome mapping of human influenza A adaptive mutations: Implications for human transmissibility of zoonotic strains(2010-02-03) Olivo Miotto; A. T. Heiny; Randy Albrecht; Adolfo García-Sastre; Tin Wee Tan; J. Thomas August; Vladimir Brusic; University of Oxford; Mahidol University; Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine; Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai; The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine; Dana-Farber Cancer Instituteadaptive mutations. We performed a large-scale comparative analysis of proteins from avian and human strains, to produce a catalogue of mutations associated with H2H transmissibility, and to detect their presence in avian isolates. Methodology/Principal... conserved mutations. The resulting catalogue comprises 68 characteristic sites in eight internal proteins. Subtype variability prevented the identification of adaptive mutations in the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins. The high number of sitesPublication Open Access Adaptiveness to Enhance the Sustainability of Freshwater-Aquaculture Farmers to the Environmental Changes(2022) Anawach Saithong; Suvaluck Satumanatpan; Kamalaporn Kanongdate; Thiyada Piyawongnarat; Poonyawee Srisantear; Mahidol University. Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies; Rajdamnern Nok Avenue. United Nations Building. United Nations Development Programme; King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi. Research, Innovation and Partnership Office; Foundation for Environmental Education for Sustainable Development (Thailand)Two alternative physical adaptations of freshwater-aquaculture farmers were observed along the upstream Bangpakong Watershed, Thailand. First was the modification of aquaculture types: (1) completely changing former species to others; (2) mixing... adaptive capacity of farmers to environmental changes. However, culture types have no significant effect on these four components. Farmers with an alternative source of income and practicing monoculture fish farming tend to have a greater ability to changePublication Metadata only Stochastic Models of Emerging Infectious Disease Transmission on Adaptive Random Networks(2017-01-01) Navavat Pipatsart; Wannapong Triampo; Charin Modchang; Mahidol University; South Carolina Commission on Higher Education© 2017 Navavat Pipatsart et al. We presented adaptive random network models to describe human behavioral change during epidemics and performed stochastic simulations of SIR (susceptible-infectious-recovered) epidemic models on adaptive random... networks. The interplay between infectious disease dynamics and network adaptation dynamics was investigated in regard to the disease transmission and the cumulative number of infection cases. We found that the cumulative case was reduced and associatedPublication Metadata only UI error reduction for high spatial visualization users when using adaptive software to verify addresses(2020-03-09) Thitivatr Patanasak Pinyo; Les Miller; Mahidol University; Iowa State University© 2020, EasyChair. All rights reserved. An adaptive software system is known as an application that can adapt itself based on different conditions of users. There are multiple conditions/criteria that can be used to direct how an application would... adapt. Spatial visualization (VZ) is one of several human spatial abilities that is used to predict human's performance when using a computer application. Therefore, a difference in VZ level is a suitable choice as an adapting indicator, i.e., high VZPublication Metadata only Cross-Cultural adaptation of the compendium of physical activity: Thai translation and content validity(2015) Chutima Jalayondeja; Wattana Jalayondeja; Roongtiwa Vachalathiti; Sunee Bovonsunthonchai; Prasert Sakulsriprasert; Watsinee Kaewkhuntee; Tipwadee Bunprajun; Rujiret Upiriyasakul; Mahidol University. Faculty of Physical TherapyObjective: To translate the compendium physical activity (compendium) proposed by Ainsworth to Thai and to validate the Thai translated version. Material and Method: Five steps of cross-cultural adaption were conducted as follows: (1) forwardPublication Metadata only Prisoners of war — host adaptation and its constraints on virus evolution(2019-05-01) Peter Simmonds; Pakorn Aiewsakun; Aris Katzourakis; University of Oxford; Mahidol University; Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicineis best explained by a niche-filling model in which fitness optimization is rapidly achieved in their specific hosts. Whereas short-term substitution rates reflect the accumulation of tolerated sequence changes within adapted genomes, longer-term rates... increasingly resemble those of their hosts as the evolving niche moulds and effectively imprisons the virus in co-adapted virus–host relationships. Contrastingly, viruses that jump hosts undergo strong and stringent adaptive selection as they maximize their fit
