This research aims to study the relationship between corporate governance assessment and performance: A case study of listed companies in the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The data was collected from the Corporate Governance Report of Thai Listed Companies and the Thai Institute of Directors with excellent very good and good CG scores for five consecutive years. The data obtained was based on financial statements annual reports and annual registration statements (Form 56-1) from 2015 to 2019 for 214 companies in total. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis i.e. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression. The findings revealed that corporate governance i.e. the proportion of independent directors the proportion of managerial ownership CEO authority merging and the proportion of meeting attendance of the board had a positive relationship with the performance of listed companies with significance levels of 0.01 and 0.05. The measurement was based on gross profit margin (GPM) return on assets of shareholders return on sales (ROS) and earnings per share (EPS).

This research aims to study the relationship between tax planning & performance and the stock prices & dividend payments of companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand SET100 group. It was conducted by collecting information from financial statements annual reports and the information registration forms (Form 56-1) of 69 companies from 2015 to 2019. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used for data analysis including correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The study results show that the return on equity ratio (ROE) book value per share (BV) and earnings per share (EPS) ratio positively correlated with the stock prices. The corporate income tax rate to total assets (TAX/ASSETS) the return on total assets (ROA) the return on equity (ROE) and the book value per share (BV) ratio were positively correlated with the dividend yield (DY) ratio. The earnings per share (EPS) ratio had a negative correlation with the dividend yield (DY) ratio and the effective corporate income tax (ETR) ratio had a positive correlation with the dividend payout ratio (DP) with a statistical significance at 0.01 and 0.05 levels.

Corrosion of steel reinforcements in concrete is one of the main causes of early deterioration and reduction of service loads of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This paper reports the results of an experimental program that was carried out to evaluate the effect of reinforcement corrosion on the flexural performance of RC beams and to investigate the efficiency of externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets to repair the corrosion-damaged RC beams. Seven RC beams with the same cross section and reinforcement details were prepared including the control beam (B0). First tension reinforcements of six RC beams were corroded by using an accelerated impress-current process to obtain corrosion levels of 15% 30% and 50% of weight loss according to Faraday’s law. Then three beams were repaired using CFRP sheets attached to the bottom surface leaving the other three unrepaired. All beams were subjected to the four-point bending load test. The experimental results show that the corrosion specimens demonstrated a significant deterioration on the structural performance and the integrity by decreasing in their ultimate load capacity stiffness and ductility. The deterioration by corrosion of tension reinforcements can be successfully overcome using CFRP sheets as the repair material. The technique can restore the beam strength to its original design strength except specimen B50F2 having severe steel-corrosion damage of 50%. A conservative value of the ultimate bending capacity of the beams with low corrosions (15%-30%) can be predicted by using RC conventional models as suggested in ACI 318. However the opposite trend is obtained for the high corrosion beam (50%). Appling ACI 440.2R provision to predict the ultimate flexural capacity of corroded beams repaired with CFRP sheets shows rather fair values for low corrosions (15%-30%) but significantly overestimates the strength of the high corrosion beam (50%).

In this article the construction of a high-frequency high-voltage commercial flyback transformer to supply an input voltage for a tesla transformer is proposed. The purpose of a demonstration is a breakdown through the air gap of electrode. To confirm the proposed method the design of control of a flyback converter by using a commercial flyback transformer is rated with a 10 to 15 kV output voltage to supply a tesla transformer at a rated 30 kV and 120 kHz. The experimental results of an output breakdown design of the electrode and the setting for a 1 cm space are constructed. The electrodes consisted of the following: sphere–sphere electrode plane–plane electrode sphere–plane electrode and rod–plane electrode. It was found that there was a breakdown at the output electrode in all cases. Accordingly there was a breakdown with a 2 cm sphere diameter with reference to the IEC 60052-2002 standard; after that it was compared with the standard table and the atmospheric and temperature at the laboratory were adjusted resulting to a high voltage equal to 31.5 kV.

This research aimed to experimentally study of solar panel efficiency with water cooling. Three mono-crystalline solar panels with the capacity of 80 W (for each panel) were used for this test. The first panel was a solar panel without water cooling. The second panel was a panel with water spray cooling. The last panel was a solar panel with water drop cooling. The cooling water flow rate was varied to 50 75 and 100 LPH. From the test it was found that the temperatures of all solar panels had the similar trends. The solar panel efficiency decreased when the temperature of solar panel increases. The solar panel efficiency increased when the cooling water flow rate was increased for both of water spray cooling and water drop cooling. For all water cooling flow rates the water spray cooling solar panel performed higher efficiency than water drop cooling solar panel. The highest solar panel efficiency in this test occurred when the water spray cooling flow rate of 100 LPH.
