This report aims to present the random noise elimination of image based on edge preservation. This solution is a pixel processing using 29 templates. Each template consists of the considered pixel and its neighbor pixels. To eliminate noises the smoothing process replaces the new pixel intensity into the same considered processing pixel by the mean intensity of neighbor pixels. The condition of the template selection is based on the minimum variance of templates. As the experimental results this solution brings the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) higher than Gaussian filter Tomita’s marks Fukuda’s marks and Nagao’s marks and also gains contrast difference.

The objectives of the research are (1) to study the exposure of weather forecast program in Bangkok and (2) to study the format and presentation of popular TV weather forecasts in Bangkok. The study is mixed methodology. The quantitative data shows that (1) Bangkok respondents exposed to weather forecast program from Channel 7 the most. The frequency of exposure is in high level because they wanted to follow the daily weather forecast to be prepared for any natural disaster. (2) The format of TV weather forecasts which received the popularity from Bangkok respondents is the mixed format of new reporting and drama conveying by a gesture and acting of a news reporter or a drama character with a written script. The hypothesis test indicates that (1) Respondents in different age and occupation show different frequency in weather forecast exposure (2) Respondents in different age education and occupation have a different exposure in weather forecast programs. (3) Respondents in different age education and occupation prefer different weather forecast programs (4) Respondents in different educational and occupation prefer different content of weather forecasts. (5) Respondents in different age education and occupation have a different preference in news reporters. (6) Respondents in different age education and occupation have a different preference in reporting locations. (7) Respondents in different age and occupation have a different preference in graphic design. (8) Respondents in different age and occupation have a different preference in sound effects. And (9) Respondents in different age education and occupation favour in participate differently in weather forecast news. The qualitative data shows that (1) Teenager and adult respondents prefer both presentations of news reporting format and the mixture format of new reporting and drama whereas elderly respondents only prefer the mixture of news reporting and drama format. (2) The content of weather forecast news should have a variety that is not only to provide weather forecasts of 6-24 hours and disaster warning but also provide other contents of weather condition or daily life tips. (3) The element of weather forecast news should be completed appropriate and modern. A news reporter should have a good personality and understanding the content with a comfortable voice and clear pronunciation. A news photo should reflect a real situation and look interesting. Also a photo should be clear and bright. Whereas graphic of wording still and moving photo should be created with creativity clear and beautiful. Sound effect and music should be selected carefully to create colorful mood of weather forecast news.

The research on the process of supply chain management standard goods distribution and marketing of the meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community was aimed (1) the process of supply chain management standards goods distribution and marketing of the meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community and (2) to determine the consistency of a causal model that influenced the process of supply chain management standards goods distribution and marketing of the meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community with the empirical data. The variables used in this study were the independent variables including the availability and the readiness of the entrepreneurs. The mediator variables were the raw material transportation management and safety standard. The dependent variable was the supply chain management standard goods distribution and marketing of the meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community. The researchers used a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative study. Questionnaires were used to collect empirical data from 350 entrepreneurs of the meat processing industry in Thailand. The statistical methods used to analyze data were the frequency percentage mean standard deviation and the analysis on the structural equation model and qualitative research methodology. The results revealed that the model was well consistent with the empirical data. The Chi – Square (2) value was 288.294 at the degrees of freedom (df) of 256 with the probability p-value equal to 0.081. The chi - square relative (2/df) was 1.127 with index of harmony (GFI) equal to 0.975 AGFI = 0.951 RMSEA = 0.017 The results showed that (1) the availability of resources had a positive influence on the transportation of raw materials (2) the availability of resources had a positive influence on safety standards (3) the entrepreneur readiness had a positive influence on the transportation of raw materials (4) the entrepreneur readiness had a positive influence on safety standards (5) the transportation of raw materials had a positive influence on safety standards (6) the transportation of raw materials had a positive influence on the supply chain management distribution and marketing and (7) safety standards had a positive influence on the supply chain management distribution and marketing of halal meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community.

This research Reducing Attrition Rate of RMUTP First-year Undergraduate Students Using the Pre-university Program was done to find out the relationship between the pre-university program and RMUTP attrition rate. In addition to the first objective this study aims to find the satisfaction of students toward the learning program. Using a mixed methodology qualitative and quantitative data were collected from students and subjects related to RMUTP pre-university program. In order to describe the research question those data were analyzed together. The results were as follows: 1. Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon has offered pre-university program for 3 years. This year there are 13 departments within 5 faculty offered the program. 2. A statistical analysis showed that 71.24 percent of the sample group was highly satisfied with the pre-university program. Twenty-seven percent was moderately satisfied with the pre-university program. Only 1.29 percent was less satisfied with the pre-university program. 3. The pre-university program is necessary and can influence students’ grade points. The sample group also suggested teaching subjects to be matched with the subject study in Semester 1. 4. During the past 4 year drop-out is still at the same number to all faculties regardless of the pre-university program. Therefore the cause of high drop-out number might come from other factors that cannot be cured by the pre-university program.
