This research aims to study the using oil palm fiber to develop cement-bonded fiberboard product. The mixture ratios of Portland cement type1: fine sand: oil palm fiber:tap water: catalyst are 1 : 1.95 : 0.05 : 0.40 : 0.03 1 : 1.94 : 0.06 : 0.40 : 0.03 1 : 1.93 : 0.07 : 0.40 : 0.03 1 : 1.92 : 0.08 : 0.40 : 0.03 and 1 : 1.91 : 0.09 : 0.40 : 0.03 by weight. The cement-bonded fiberboard samples are cast in 30 x 30 x 1.5 centimeter in dimension. The cement-bonded fiberboard sample testing follows the TIS 878-2537. The results show that the density thermal conductivity bending strength modulus of elasticity and tension perpendicular to surface of cement-bonded fiberboard with high quantity of oil palm fiber are lower than cement-bonded fiberboard with low quantity of oil palm fiber while that the water absorption and swelling in water of cement-bonded fiberboard with high quantity of oil palm fiber are higher. However all of oil palm fiber samples with lower than 0.06 of ratio can pass the standard.

The costume design project for women in semi couture inspired by the art of ice carving sculpture aims at studying the pattern of color and texture of the ice sculptures. The models that we use as objects of study for designing the semi couture women’s costume appear in the International Ice Carving Festival in Harbin China. From what we have studied we analyze 3 areas emphasizing at the physical features and overall picture of the work. The 3 areas of analysis are the formats colors and patterns of carvings of the theme parks ice slider and the Garden of Mythology. We use the structure of the ice shapes carved out by a truncated series structure. We use white and pink color due to their sweetness and elegance which suits our target group. We also apply the patterns shapes and geometric line pattern to use in embroidering and decorating geometric acrylic sheet and ornament from crystalembroidered plastic PVC. Thus it creates uniqueness attractiveness novelty and interest. In conclusion the researchers adopts concept from the art of ice carving sculptures appeared in the International Ice Sculpture Festival in Harbin China. We design 5 sets of semi couture women’s costumes for special occasions. We use the formats colors and patterns of ice carvings to create and design the dressings in order to meet the needs as mentioned in the objectives as much as possible.

The aims of this study were to select (1) a basic recipe of tapioca crackers (2) the appropriate concentration of Khlu leaf extract for fortification in the tapioca cracker product (3) the suitable seasoning powder for tapioca cracker fortified with Khlu leaf extract and finally (4) to study of physical chemical nutritional qualities as well as (5) consumers acceptance in the seasoned tapioca cracker fortified with Khlu leaf extract. The results showed that a basic recipe for tapioca cracker making was 57% tapioca flour 4% sugar 2% finely chopped garlic 2% salt 1% pepper and 34% boiling water as considered from sensory evaluation. The appropriate concentration of Khlu leaf extract was the mixture of water and fresh sliced Khlu leaves at a ratio of 1: 0.5. This ratio was given a preference score greater than 1:1 and 1:1.5 (p?0.05). After that three seasoning powders were added to the crackers fortified with Khlu leaf extract. It was found that the Tom yum seasoning powder tended to be obtain the highest sensory scores than those of the samples seasoned with paprika and algae seasoning powder (p?0.05). The final formulation of the seasoned tapioca crackers fortified with Khlu leaf extract contained fat protein dietary fiber and carbohydrate contents approximately 40.50% 1.49% 2.01% and 51.10% respectively. According to the consumer test (100 consumers) the seasoned tapioca cracker fortified with Khlu leaf extract was accepted as the novel and delicious product. Moreover 92% of consumers decided to buy the product containing 60 g in the plastic bag with the price of 30 Baht.

The objective of this fashion thesis was to study womens clothing design in party wear style inspired by Thai Lacquer Art (Lai Rod Nam) in Ayutthaya era. The outstanding points of Ayutthaya era’s Lacquer Art: appearance and pattern of lacquer decorating Tripitaka cabinet were applied in connection to Khon costumes to create and design womens clothing in elegant and tasteful party wear style. The instruments included Ayutthaya era’s Lacquer Art analysis form consisting of layout and pattern placement and color use Khon costumes analysis form consisting of costumes layout focusing on physical nature and overall work analysis. The results of this study showed as follows. The author applied Thai Lacquer Art pattern decorating Tripitaka cabinet in Ayutthaya era including Kanok Pleaw Kanok Ruang Khao Pun Pruksa and pattern in animal figures to redesign and reorganize the work. Digital printing technique was use to press the pattern on the fabric to be applied to Khon costumes structure. This study focused on the design and development of clothing that is modern while remains the identity of Thai Lacquer Art.
