Nata de coco rich in high dietary cellulose microfiber of low calories and thus suitable to be promoted as healthy drink is derived from bacterial fermentation of coconut water (an agricultural by-product). In this study the optimal amount of nata de coco to be added to mao juice was investigated. Nata de coco was produced by using Acetobacter xylinum TISTR 86 cultured at 30oC for 15 days in a plastic box containing culture medium which was composed of 92.5% coconut juice 0.5% ammonium sulfate 5.0% sucrose and 2.0% vinegar. Hedonic scale (1-9 point) sensory evaluation was used to select the optimal ratio of nata de coco from the 3 ratios of 5 10 and 15% to be added to mao juice. Based on taste and overall liking the most favorable mixture is to add nata de coco of 10% to mao juice. Finally the chemical physical and microorganism properties of mao juice with nata de coco in a 180 ml clear-glass bottle were measured after it was stored at room temperature for 1 month. This mixture product was found to beneficially contain fiber two times the amount of that of sole mao juice. The result suggests that these variable parameters of mixture product were accepted base on the Thai Community Product Standard (486/2547).

This study was carried out to evaluate the influence of pruning on floral emergence fruiting yield and fruit quality in longan. Fifteen years old “Daw” longan trees were pruned in June 2013 at Agricultural Technology Research Institute Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna Lampang province. The longan pruning for removing some branches consisted of 4 treatments i.e. 25 50 and 75 % compared with no pruning. The result revealed that there was no effect of treatment on floral emergence or leaf flushing after potassium chlorate application. However the 25-75 % pruning gave greater new shoot length leaf width and leaf greenness than that of no pruning. The pruning treatments increased fruit size while the highest pruning (75 %) decreased yield and the no pruning produced the lowest yield.

The purpose of this research was to investigate cooling water profile that effect to coefficient of performance of spilt type air- conditioning system. Air conditioner size of 12000 Btu/h was used in this experiment. There are three experiment of cooling water profiles in this work such as water spray water drop and heat exchanger profile. The ambient temperature conditions were controlled at 35 40 43 and 45 oC. The results of this study were found that heat exchanger profile had the highest average coefficient of performance and energy efficiency as 4.94 and 9.15 Btu/Wh which increased as 20.1% and 8.47% respectively when comparing with the normal working.

Proportional plus integral controller has been widely used in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive system due to its simple structure while achieving zero steady-state error. However finding out the optimal parameters of the controller is not an easy task. For this reason this paper presents an automated optimization of proportional plus integral controller for permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system using genetic algorithms. Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness than ones of the trial and error method.

R & D PRECISION CO.LTD manufactures various types of work. Yet there were defects of work in previous working and the company was unable to deliver products to customers as required and some might have been destroyed. As the information referred to the waste detected each month from January 2014 to June 2014 it is found that the volume of defect rate was 9.56 percent resulting in losing cost of production and other business opportunities. This research aims to reduce waste in the production of high precision with lean concepts. The study starts from the analysis of employees working information by creating a value stream mapping. The study found that cylindrical grinding takes the longest time. Then the study explored and determined the root cause of the problem by using a Pareto Diagram together with a Fish-Bone Diagram to analyze the minor causes. It is found that most wastes are caused by measuring control especially for the work that has a shaft hole with thickness of 2.25 mm. Thus the study and experiment were conducted to determine the flow rate of the coolant for the work piece in the cylindrical grinding machine and a fixed value is the rate of decreasing the size of work speed of stone wheel and work type of coolant and type of grinding stones. The goal is to reduce waste by not less than five percent and to improve the process of reducing waste effectively which will affect the environment having lesser wastes from production. It also supports competitiveness and rapid change of industry manufacturing highprecision parts in the future even better.
