This research was aimed at analyzing the content and method of communication the embedded in ecotourism promoting media produced by the concerned agencies in Suphanburi province utilizing semiotics and concepts concerning tourism along with the indepth analysis on the phenomena in the areas under study as the research framework. The researchers focused on analyzing the meaning of signs apparent in the 5 types of media chosen as the study objects. The findings reveal that the contents embedded in the tourism promoting media had contained 2 main factors – variety of tourist attractions and agricultural way of life. Both were related to tourism in an interesting way particularly the use of media for publicizing tourist attractions. Communicative methods apparent in the tourism promoting media came up in 4 modes – paradigmatic communication resulting from using small parts to simultaneously communicate metonymic communication using certain part to represent the whole binary opposition to communicate the meaning of two exclusively different things and intertextualitybased communication through which the cues of old signs were used to build up value in the new context.

The objectives of this research are to propose an approate and efficient model for analyzing rice corn and sugar yields data. A linear mixed model (LMM) with spatial correlation following the conditional autoregressive model (CAR) was adopted. The results show that for rice yields if the amount of rainfall in a harvest season increases 1 mm the yields will decease by 25.74 tons. if the temperature in the harvest season increases 1 Celsius the yields will decease by 212.60 tons and according to the trend the yield will increase by 15.80 tons each year. For sugar cane yields if the amount of rainfall in the harvest season increases 1 mm the yields will decease by 51.35 tons. if the temperature in the harvest season increase 1 Celsius the yields will incease by 121.30 tons and according to the trend the yield will increase by 29.93.80 tons each year. For corn yield if the amount of rainfall in the havest season increases 1 mm the yields will incease by 73.45 tons. if the temperature in he havest season increases 1 celsius the yields will decease by 40.44 tons and according to the trend the yield will increase by 1.74 tons each year.

This research aims to apply the principle of stochastic process for modeling. The parameters are estimated using Bayesian methods. The monthly average real price of paddy rice 15% and yield of paddy rice in Thailand were studied. The price and the yield of paddy rice which are time series data consisting of four components autocorrelation an exponential cumulative distribution function for trend outliers and two different types of seasons: the dummy seasons and Fourier function seasons. Writing algorithms programming in OpenBUGS and evaluating the performance of models from simulation programming in R were conducted. After that Bayesian methods with dummy seasons and Fourier function season were compared using RMSE MSE and MAE as the criteria. The results show that the Bayesian model with an exponential cumulative distribution function for trend and dummy seasons give the lowest RMSE MSE and MAE for both model fitting and model validating.

This research presents an Analysis of Voltage Sags on the Installation of Distributed Generation in the Distribution System. The computer program PSCAD/EMTDC (Power Systems Computer Aided Design / Electromagnetic Transient in DC system) version 4.2 is applied to provide electrical parameters for the modeling and simulation and to analyze the fault occurred which resulted in voltage sag. Test results from PSCAD/EMTDC show the values of voltage sag when 5 types of fault are occurred (Single Line to Ground Fault Double Line to Ground Fault Three Phase to Ground Fault Line to Line Fault and Three Phase Fault). For all cases the value of root mean square voltage before fault is 100% or 1.0 pu. It can be seen that for both radial line and closed circuit when DG are installed in the system the value of phase to ground RMS residual voltage and phase to phase RMS residual voltage at the bus of Bang-pa-in 2 substation are more than the values in case of the system without DG.

This thesis presents the Power Quality (PQ) analysis of solar power plant 1MW and economic impacts in the distribution power networks. The case study focuses on the penalty fee (fine) from consume the reactive power less than the limit of the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) of Thailand. The fine have been charged up to 900000 baht per year. Therefore the thesis studies and purposes the possible solution by analysing the operating function of the inverter (supports reactive mode) installing the adjustable capacitor bank 1500kVar in the Medium Voltage (MV) level and lastly installing the adjustable capacitor bank 1500kVar in the Low Voltage (LV) level. The results shown that the possible solution that reduces the fine is installed the adjustable capacitor bank 1500kVar in the MV. The investment of this installation is cost 1800000 baht with the nominal operation over 10 years. The analysis of financial investment which bases on the Net Present Value (NPV) the Benefit-Cost ratio (B/C) the Pay Back period (PB) is presented the NPV at 4902971 baht B/C 3.72 and PB 2 year (with the Internal Rate of Return; IRR 49.7 percent).
