This study aims to develop a new evaluation technique for Northern Corn Leaf Blight (NCLB) resistance in maize under greenhouse condition. Ki48/Ki47 F2 (160 lines) and 2 commercial verities (Hi-Brix3 and Insee2) were evaluated. For this technique 10-14 day old seedlings (4-5 leaves) were sprayed with ACIL1 spore suspension (104spores/ml.) for infection. The results of this technique correlated with the results from the common technique under field condition which used 21-25 days old seedlings (6-7 leaves) (correlation value = 0.658). This evaluation technique was used to assist in QTL mapping of NCLB resistance. Population of Ki48/Ki47 F2 (160 lines) were analyzed for QTL mapping by using Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) markers. It was found that major parental polymorphism located on chromosome 5 and chromosome 8. When Single QTL analysis was performed SSR marker UMC1365 could clearly indentified qualitative trait loci on chromosome 5 and SSR markers UMC1095 UMC1268 and UMC2356 could clearly indentified qualitative trait loci on chromosome 8.

This research work aims to analyse of metals in thai tradition medicines using Inductively Coupled Plasma–Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). The sample groups were divided into four catagories which were Snuff balsam gentian violet and drug pickled liquor. Six metals Aluminium (Al) Cadmium (Cd) Chromium (Cr) Copper (Cu) Magnesium (Mn) and Lead (Pb) were studied. In Snuff the amount of Al was in the range of ND-0.017 ppm the amount of Cd was in the range of ND-0.017 ppm the amount of Cr was in the range of 0.041-0.173 ppm the amount of Cu was in the range of ND-0.244 ppm Moreover Mn content was in the range of 0.633-2.384 ppm. In the case of balsam the amount of Al was in the range of 0-0.575 ppm the amount of Cd was in the range of ND-0.004 ppm the amount of Cr was in the range of 0.025-0.570 ppm the amount of Mn was in the range of 0.460-0.754 ppm whilst none of Cu and Pb was detected. In the case of gentian violet the amount of Cr was in the range of 0.033-0.063 ppm the amount of Mn was in the range of 0.165-0.543 ppm whilst none of Al Cd Cu and Pb was detected. In the case of medicine pickled the amount of Cr was in the range of ND-0.058 ppm the amount of Mn was in the range of ND-0.264 ppm the amount of Ni was in the range of 0-0.034 ppm no metals Al Cd Cu and Pb was observed. The detected metals in thai tradition medicines have the contamination value under the optimization scale for consumable under WHO. It show that some metals were retained in thai tradition medicines and the contamination level of metals in were acceptable.

The research aimed to exploratory factor analysis of computer self-efficacy of undergraduate students at Department of Information Technology Faculty of Science and Technology Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University. The sample used in this study included 80 students who studied in level 3 in second semester of academic year 2012. The data collection tool is a questionnaire use a 5 rating scale. The finding revealed that the computer self-efficacy of undergraduate students was divided into 4 groups: group 1: Computer software and hardware consisted of 6 variables can be explain the computer self-efficacy 40.58%. Group 2 : Computer skills consisted of 3 variables can be explain the computer self-efficacy 11.19%. Group 3 : Data management consists of 2 variables can be explain the computer self-efficacy 9.50%. Group 4 Advanced Computer skills consists of 2 variables can be explain the computer self-efficacy 7.82%. which factors in 4 group will be able to explain the computer self-efficacy 69.08 %

The objective of this research was to evaluate the antioxidant and glucosidase inhibitory activities of 9 fresh and dried local vegetables extract from Kong Ra District Phatthalung Province such as Barringtonia acutangula (L.) Gaertn. Archidendron jirinaga Nielsen Scientific name: in process (Neang-rok: local name) Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz Ficus semicordata J.E.Smith Ficus oligodon Mig Ficus sp. Ficus obpyramidata King and Ficus fistulosa Reinw. The antioxidant activities were determined by DPPH radical scavenging. Results indicated that dried crude extract of Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz exhibited the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity at the final concentration of 5 mg/ml revealed the DPPH activity as 92.25%. Moreover the extracts were studied for their glucosidase inhibitory activities compare with authentic drug Acarbose Results indicated that dried crude extract of Ficus sp. exhibited the highest inhibitory activity revealed the inhibition activity as 85.46%. Thus these local vegetable might be possible new sources of glucosidase inhibition and antioxidants so there are suitable for use as functional food in the future.

The yield of biodiesel from a base catalyzed transesterification in a batch system is generally low due to the reversed reaction. In addition the process tends to generate high amount of waste water in the washing step. In order to overcome the above problems a continuous process was adopted in this study. Solid alum was used to stop the reaction and filtered off from the biodiesel products. The results showed that biodiesel production from palm oil in a 2.8 liter continuous reactor filled with stainless steel wool acted as a static mixer gave biodiesel of 99.6% purity in 10 minutes at the flow rate of 280 milliliter per minutes. KOH was used as the reaction catalyst at a concentration of 0.75% based on ethanol. The molar ratio of ethanol to oil was 9:1. Three hundred and fifty gram of alum could satisfactorily neutralize one liter of biodiesel.
