The objective of this research was to develop a high performance monitoring software for extended database of mobile weather station by using embedded computer. The monitoring system could measure and record temperature relative humidity wind speed and direction rainfall solar radiation and UV index. The software could convert these parameters and sent them from mobile unit to base unit within 60meters distance via 868.0MHz of radio frequency. The embedded computer was used as for database and host of the monitoring software. This software was developed by using LabVIEW with large MySQL database. The software could work perfectly. That is it could monitor and display any parameter in real time in both graphic and numerical data. It could also produce a report in correct format of research information. The Monitor system could work with the embedded computer. The mobile weather station could be used in remote areas with photovoltaic energy system and storage battery specially designed for them.

Museums and art galleries have utilized social media to communicate with their visitors or people who share the same interest and to improve visitors’ experience in six aspects: recreation socialization learning experience aesthetic experience participatory experience and enchanting experience.

The purpose of this quasi-experimental research was to study the effect of an English camping program based on Cognitive Behavioral Theory on students self-efficacy in using the language for communication. The population of the study 118 first-year students of the faculty . of Liberal Arts Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon in the academic year 2009 were divided by using simple random sampling into 3 groups: experimental· group 1 whose members were assigned to participate in the English camping program based on Cognitive Behavioral Theory; experimental group 2 of which the members were given the infonnation on Cognitive Behavioral Theory and how to develop self-efficacy in using English for communication to read ; and the control group. The instruments used were a questionnaire a self-assessment questionnaire on self-efficacy developed by the researchers and Before & After reviews The statistics used were percentage and t-test. The results were as follows: 1. The level of self-efficacy in using English for communication after the groups participation in the English camping program based on Cognitive Behavioral Theory was significantly higher at the level of 0.05 which was not significantly different at the follow -up. 2. The self-efficacy level after participation in the English camping program was significantly higher at the level of 0.05 than that of the experimental group 2 after being assigned to read. 3. The level of self-efficacy after participation in the program was statistically higher than that of the control group at the level of 0.05. 4. The qualitative data collected from the group participating in the program indicated an improvement in the level of self-efficacy in using English for communication.
