Podostemaceae a family of aquatic flowering plant restricted to river rapids and waterfalls are widely reported to be the high incidence of endemism and in need for conservation. The present study analyses endemism and conservation status of the Podostemaceae in northeastern floristic region Thailand using past and current taxonomic records personal field collections geographic ranges IUCN assessment and a combination of river number in which a species occurs. The plants grown in one river and two rivers are considered as narrow endemic species. Among the six genera and 22 species recognized two genera are endemic eighteen species are endemic to Thailand eleven species of the 18 are narrowly distributed and confined in northeastern floristic region and the other 4 species are not endemic. Considering the conservation status two species are classified as Critically Endangered distributed in a single river ten species as Vulnerable distributed in 1-2 rivers six species as Near Threatened two species as Least Concern and two species as Data Deficient. Loei province is the most species-rich area in Thailand with 12 species five of them are restricted in Loei.

The aim of this research was to study the solid waste management in Faculty of Science and Technology Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon study problems and obstacles of the solid waste management. The study will benefit related organizations as fundamental information for setting plans on the solid waste management to ensure the maximum efficiency and expand to other faculties. In this study a researcher collected quantitative data and also characteristics of solid waste occurred. Total amounts of solid waste were approximately 20.86 kilograms per day. Types of solid waste mostly found were reuse /recycle wastes (10.21 kilograms per day) and organic wastes (10.43 kilograms per day). The results showed an information for developing solid waste management under 3R processes (Reduce Reuse and Recycle) lead to sustainable solid waste management and efficiency.

The aim of this work was to study the magnetic properties of magnetic glassceramics with composition system CaO-Na2O-P2O5-BaO-Fe2O3. The magnetic glass– ceramics were prepared by conventional melting at 1300oC for 2 h of the coprecipitation derived starting products and heat treated at different temperatures. The structure and microstructure of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA) and scanning electron microscopy. The magnetic measurement showed that the samples which contained barium ferrite exhibited magnetic behavior which is similar to soft magnetic materials. Finally the samples were soaked in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 14 days. The apatite was found to form on the surface layer of glass-ceramics and it increases with the barium ferrite content was increased.

This research was study the production of essential oil from tobacco leaves for insect repellents. To increase value and development of new products form tobacco leaves. This product is environmental friendly. In this research is divided into two parts: Laboratory scale and get a knowledge to the municipal in Nhongkhai province. Nicotine is an insecticide that effect to insects. This product evaporated pass through natural packaging. A natural packaging can be easily degradation in the environment. Moreover this product also helped to reduce the hazardous chemicals or pesticides usage and not residues for long time.

This research work was to study the effect of surface treatment of natural fiber and the effects of type and content of natural fiber on the development of acoustic material from natural rubber foam /natural fiber composites. The surface treatment used for this research work was sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treatment. NaOH Concentrations and treatment times were varied from 0 to 15 %wt. and 0 to 30 min respectively. Natural fibers used for this work were bagasse fiber (BF) and oil palm fiber (OPF). The suitable condition for surface treatment was estimated by fiber length and diameter (L/D) ratio and morphology of natural fiber. The result suggested that L/D ratios tended to increase when NaOH concentrations and/or treatment times increased except for NaOH concentration of 15 %wt. L/D ratios of OPF after surface treatment were changed more than those of BF. The suitable conditions of NaOH treatment for BF and OPF were NaOH concentration of 10 %wt. and surface treatment times of 30 and 10 min respectively. The effects of fiber type and content on sound absorption properties of natural rubber foam /natural fiber composites were investigated by cell characteristics sound absorption coefficient DMA analysis and bulk density. Both treated BF and OPF with suitable treatment condition were varied from content of 0.0 to 10.0 %wt. The result showed that the cell size of composites tended to decrease with addition of natural fiber whereas number of foam cell per unit volume increased. After adding natural fiber more than 2.5 %wt. cell size of composite foam and number of foam cell per unit volume tended to change the inverse direction. Natural fiber in composites enhanced the sound absorption efficiency. Sound absorption coefficient of composites adding BF was more than that of composite adding OPF. The addition of natural fiber enhanced the elasticity of composites and that increased sound absorption efficiency. NaOH treatment led to creation of strong interfacial bonding between natural fiber and natural rubber and enhanced the sound absorption efficiency. Density of NR composite foam increased with increasing natural fiber content.
