The research aimed to study and develop handicraft products from elephant dung paper for community income generation in Changwat Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya and to compare the product satisfaction of the target group for the original style and the new one of elephant dung paper. The target group was composed of 143 tourists from other provinces and 143 local tourists. Both target groups would like to buy handicraft products from elephant dung paper and help generate community income in Changwat Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya. Research tool used were questionnaire and data were analyzed by statistical percentage mean and mode. Questionnaire was used for the product attributes satisfaction evaluation of the target group including alternative evaluation process and comparison of product styles evaluation process. Data were analyzed by statistically percentage mean and t-test dependent sample. The results were as follows: 1. The target group chose the third style on 3 designs of handicraft products from elephant dung paper. 2. For the product attribute satisfaction of the target group it was found that the new style of handicraft product was more acceptable than the original one at a significance level of 0.05.

Here we present an experimental study of the single-effect adsorption cooling system using activated carbon-methanol working pair. The test unit was comprised of an adsorber a condenser and evaporator in vertical alignment. Heating and cooling of adsorber was mainly done by hot and cold water circulating through the water jacket. The evaporator and condenser was heated or cooled by flows of water through the internal coil. The adsorber was analyzed for its cooling rate when cooling was done by two approaches either cooling water and/or three thermosyphon heat pipes which both methods gave shortest cooling time. The investigated heat source and sink temperatures are; hot water temperature supplied to adsorber (70 80 90 oC) and cooling water temperature supplied to condenser (5 10 15 oC). An ultrasonic wave generator was attached to the bottom end of the evaporator to generate wave frequency varied by 8 10 and 14 kHz during evaporation phase. The ultrasonic wave can obviously reduce the evaporation time of methanol as well as to improve the system performance in terms of COP SCP and VCP. The system performance was considerably comparable to those from literatures. The highest COP and SCP obtained from this system was 0.718 and 248.90 W/kg respectively.

The purposes of this research were to build and develop a standardized test used to measure English abilities compliant with the curriculum of the fourth-year students of Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon. There were two groups of the students namely the first group which consisted of 57 students who took the traditional pilot paper test and the latter which consisted of 63 students taking the electronic test via the Internet. The other purposes were to find out the students/users’ attitudes and satisfaction towards the use of the electronic test and to obtain a computer program prototype for measuring English abilities. The results were as follows: 1. The item analysis of the pilot paper test revealed that there were 64 items of appropriate difficulty index and discrimination power whereas that of the electronic test revealed that only 56 items had appropriate difficulty index and discrimination power. Even though the latter test had been improved the accepted items were fewer. This led to the assumption that the characteristics of doing an electronic test affected students’ decisions and made them guess more than when they took a paper test. 2. The questionnaires analysis of students’ satisfaction of using the electronic test program to measure their English abilities revealed that the overall arithmetic mean was 75.72. The highest scored item of 87.59 percent was “I think this e-test program is useful”; and the lowest scored item of 66.21 percent was “I think the screen format is interesting”. Moreover there were 11 users who showed their positive opinions towards the e-test program which was 18.97 percent of the latter group.

The purpose of this study was to study individual factors of students that effect the production of graduates of Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon. The survey method by questionnaire was used to collect data from students in their 4th year who were in the 4-year program and 2-year continual program of the university 350 in total. The collected data was analyzed with a statistical software program to calculate the percentage means standard deviations t-test and One-way ANOVA. The level of statistical significance was set at .05. The result reveals that individual factors of students that effect the production of graduates of Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon were age faculty academic record previous education resident characteristic the relationship of student behaviour learning condition and satisfaction towards graduates production. Meanwhile factors of gender and study program didn’t affect individual factors of students that effect the production of graduates of Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon

This study was investigated the pretreatment of dye effluent from dyeing process by activated carbon. The study parameters were color strength operating time and types of dyestuff such as direct dye reactive dye acid dye basic dye and disperse dye. The results found the activated carbon was achieved to adsorb the colorant. The pretreatment process used 100 – 200 gram activated carbon to one liter of dye effluent. The contact time was 2 hours at room temperature. The dyeing conditions had an influent for pretreatment process. The acidic condition was favored than neutral and basic condition. In addition the dye removal efficiency was basic dye > acid dye > disperse dye > direct dye > reactive dye.
