ISQE-OTOP: An Interactive System for Quality Evaluation of OTOP Products
This research was aimed to develop criteria for quality evaluation of OTOP products of 5 types; namely food product beverage product cloth and costumes product utensils decoration and souvenirs product and herbal product. Which is not food Then the developed criteria were used as a quality evaluation form for OTOP products in interactive system on website. The usability of the system was tested by 72 persons in the group of OTOP product entrepreneurs and 96 persons in the group of customers. The results from the development of 5 types of criteria for product quality evaluation showed that: the criteria for food product consisted of 282 items; beverage product consisted of 41 items; cloth and costumes product consisted of 47 items; utensils decoration and souvenirs product consisted of 27 items and herbal product which is not food consisted of 77 items According to the usability tested by the entrepreneurs it was found that the effectiveness of usage was at the highest level. As for the usability tested by the customers it was found that the effectiveness of usage and the learnability were at the highest level.
The Comparative Study of Tie-Dye Methods for Pattern Design Development of Tie-Dye Products
The purposes of this research were 1) To compare to the distinctly motifs of Tie-dye methods: binding technique folding technique and stitching technique. 2) To compare the dyeing results of the characteristics of cotton linen and rayon in geometrics patterns design group and naturalistic patterns design group. There are 8 motifs were used; quadrangle triangle circle heart form flower leaf butterfly and worm. The research Instruments were used; 1) tie-dye fabrics dyed in 3 tie-dye methods. The tie-dye methods were bind fold and stitch amount of 120 pieces 2) The assessment for 15 connoisseurs (connoisseurship model). Data was analyzed by the statistical package for the social science program and using mean percentage standard deviation one-way ANOVA (Scheffe) and chi-square. The results of the study were found that binding technique was at mean 4.20 including stitching technique at mean 4.10 and folding technique at mean 3.69. The best technique was binding technique because this technique could produce products in a large quantity. The stitching technique was aesthetic elegant and valuable. The folding technique could produce many patterns in one time. Binding technique folding technique and stitching technique on cotton were much suitable in tie-dye method and capability of techniques. Binding technique and stitching technique on cotton were much suitable in pattern design and overall image of fabric dyed. Binding technique and stitching technique on linen were much suitable in 5 parts. Folding technique on linen were much especial suitable in tie-dye method and capability of techniques. Binding technique and stitching technique on rayon were much suitable in 5 parts. Folding technique on rayon were much especial suitable in 5 parts except overall image of fabric dyed. Comparison of three kinds of fabric and two pattern groups were that geometrics and naturalistic patterns on cotton linen and rayon fabrics had average the best in binding technique. To compare tie-dye techniques and fabrics and pattern groups had different for some parts statistically significant at level of .05 This study was the experimental methods of tie-dye and 3 kinds of fabrics; cotton linen and rayon. The method of dyed in the study was vat dye (Indigo dye) the result found that the best fabric absorption dyed was rayon the second best fabric absorption dyed was cotton and linen. The vat dye in different kinds of fabric were dyed at the same quantity. They were dyed in the nearly different shade. Rayon was the best dye than another kind. Cotton and linen were dyed as the same shade.
Use of Waste Ash from Agricultural by-Products in Concrete Work
This paper presents a study on the strength and porosity of mortars made with binary blends of ordinary Portland cement type I (OPC) sand and ground rice husk ash (RHA) or ground palm oil fuel ash (POA). The mortar mixtures were made with Portland cement Type I containing 0-40% RHA and POA. The water to binder ratio was kept constant at 0.5 and the flow of mortar was maintained at 110 +/- 5% with the aid of superplasticizer (SP). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used on materials. Compressive strength and porosity of the mortar were determined. The XRD pattern confirmed that POA and RHA were mainly amorphous silica. The use of RHA and POA produced waste ash with relatively high strength. The porosity of mortar containing RHA and POA decreased with the low replacement level of up to 20% of pozzolanic but increased with the 40% replacement level. RHA and POA have a high potential to be used as a good pozzolanic material in concrete work.
Technology Transfer on Banana Flour and Food Products
The project aimed to construct and disseminate knowledge on banana flour and food products through media; to transfer technology by conducting the workshop training on banana flour and food products and to follow up knowledge implementation for community market testing. Project was done by preparing contents materials equipments sites taking photos gathering data producing original media producing VCD training need analysis preparing training program evaluating and following up the training achievement. The result of the project was found that 500 VCD cases were constructed for 85 trainees. Percentages of the project achievement was 99.16%. There was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test of the knowledge at .05 level. Mean of the achievement in creating quality work was at 4.30. The achievement percentages of implementing how to make banana flour baked dessert and Thai dessert for community market testing was 12.5%.
Development of Fabric Products and Technology Transfer to Lopburi Communities
The objectives of this project were to develop household items using cotton and silk fabrics weaved from local communities in Lopburi province and to transfer the developed technique to those communities in order to increase their incomes and also create the new career. There were 60 participants who were trained for two training courses. After training the participants’ satisfaction on the curriculums and training methods were evaluated by a mean of questionnaire. Then the average values were determined and used to represent the results. The results were concluded that the objectives of the curriculums as well as their structures were mostly suitable in every aspect. The satisfaction on activities during the training training equipment (materials and books) and place were rated in the “high level” while the satisfaction on the instructors was rated in the “highest level”.
