This research was aimed to study the needs for vocational art craft training of Cooperative professional craft group in Nonthaburi Province. A questionnaire was used to explore the needs for art craft training as the career development with its reliability of 0.86. The samples were 30 members of Cooperative professional craft group in Koh Kret Nonthaburi Province in 2017. The results of the study revealed that most of the samples were married female between 31 and 40 years old. Most of them had bachelor degrees and worked as employees. Concerning their needs for vocational art education in each category the highest demand was the training on tissue boxes made by weaving paper which was accounted for 40 % followed by pottery course for 23.33% towel creation course for 20.00% and the least interested was the course of the mobile produced from remnant of cloth accounted for 16.67 %. Regarding daily products the participants liked to attend the courses of making decoupage boxes and present basket decoration which were accounted for 33.33% followed by the origami keychain and the cushion cover courses for 16.67%. Concerning decoration course miniature garden course drew the highest attention for 40.00% followed by fabric artificial flowers for 26.67% picture frame from paper roll course for 23.33% and the lowest interest was flower vase from remnant of cloth course for 10.00%. As for things used in ceremonies the group had the highest needs for Phan Phum training which was accounted for 33.33% followed by Baisri or rice offering course for 30% Krathong or banana-leaf cup course for 20% and the least interested was souvenirs made of cloth for 16.67 %. The training course lasted for 2or 3 days or 50.00%. The training period was on Saturday and Sunday from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm or 60.00 %. The group could apply knowledge for 100%. Additional suggestions were that extra needed training courses included corn skin flowers paper packaging fabric keychain straw flowers loincloth wreaths and gift wrapping. The training time was from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm of garments is minimal. of the training time is 2 - 3 days or 50.00%. or 60.00% of the time. The additional recommendation was that the courses required for further training were flowers from corn husks. Paper packaging Keyring of fabric Flowers from straws flowers wreaths of loincloth wrapped gifts. The training course is 2 - 3 days or 50.00%. The training period is from Saturday to Sunday from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm or 60.00 percent. Target group can apply knowledge to 100.00%. Additional suggestions showed that the training course required for additional training was corn flakes. Paper packaging Keyring of fabric Flowers from straws flowers wreaths of loincloth wrapped gifts.

The objective of this research was to find the suitable processes of carved-vegetables which packed in hermetically sealed container. Two vegetables were composed of carrot and pumpkin. There were carved into rose or leaf shape. An optimum ratio of 2 recipes of pickle solution were studied. The first one was a recipe which acidified with lactic acid (acidified-recipe) to pH <4.6. Another one was a recipe supplemented with preservative (preservative-added recipe). The results showed that an optimum ratio for acidified-recipe was composed of 7.23% vinegar 64.81% water 0.81% salt 27.00% sugar and 0.15% lactic acid which showed the final pH was 3.27. For preservative-added recipe an optimum ratio was composed of 27.03% vinegar 27.03% water 0.9% salt 45.05% sugar and 200 ppm sodium metabisulfite which showed the final pH was 3.39. Carrot pumpkin green papaya and cucumber were sanitized in peroxyacetic acid (80 mg/L 3 min). Radish was dipped in tap water for 3 min. Then all carved-vegetables were immersed in calcium chloride solution (0.5% 2 min) before preserved in acidified-recipe solution in plastic box with a lid and then stored at room temperature for 4 days. Equilibrium time pH and °Brix were studied. The results showed that pH and °Brix were decrease during 4 days storage and showed obviously tended to equilibrium. However carved-radish and cucumber were spoiled by microorganisms as a film on the surface of pickle solution and gas bubble was occurred inside a container on 4 days of the storage. Hence three carved-vegetables including carrot pumpkin and radish were used in the next experiment which preserved in preservative-added recipe. Treatment was compared with the same recipe without preservative as the control. All types of carved-vegetables had an equilibrium time for 7 days. Three parts of samples e.g. pickle solution carved-vegetables and mixed-sample showed pH lower than 4.6 and °Brix were gradually decreased during the storage. Shelf-life of all carved-vegetables stored in hermetically sealed container was up to 7 days. Total bacteria count E. coli yeast-mold were not exceeded than the standard limited by Ministry of Public Health and Staphylococcus aureus was not detected throughout 7 days of the storage.

This study was aimed to explore the needs for vocational art crafts training needs for the senior association in Karnchanaburi. The questionnaire with the reliability of 0.88. was used to explore the needs for the art crafts training for the career development. The samples were 30 people in the senior association in Karnchanaburi. The results showed that most of the samples were 61-71 years old and most had the primary education followed by secondary education. Their former occupations were business owners who were married and some were married and had congenital disorder. It was found that most of the participants wanted to be trained to fold towels into the shape of animals followed by scrap fabric rugs. As for the training period throughout the course most participants required 2-3 day trainings from Monday to Friday 08:00 to 16:00 in order to make money. The second to that was to practice meditation and the third was to use the knowledge acquired in everyday life.

The objective of this study was to investigate mechanical properties namely hardness of cemented tungsten carbide workpieces which were the mixture of 75 wt% tungsten carbide (WC) and 8 wt% -10 wt% cobalt (Co) as the binder . Other composites used included 0.5 wt% tantalum carbide (Tac) 14 wt% - 17 wt% titanium carbide (TiC) and 0.5 wt% - 1 wt% niobium carbide (NbC). The workpieces were then formed and sintered at 1450 °C. After the forming and sintering processes were completed the workpieces with different composites were obtained. The results showed that there were the differences in green density and hardness between recycled tungsten carbide powder and commercial tungsten carbide powder workpieces. Different particle characteristics and chemical components of tungsten carbide powder resulted in poor flow between the particles affecting density and hardness. Besides the compression of the metal powder before sintering could reduce the porosity because low porosity led to less shrinkage during sintering as shrinkage during sintering varies with the workpiece density after forming

Research project on extraction and bioactivity of Xylocarpus granatum extracts. This study aimed to investigate the phytochemicals and antioxidant activities of the X. granatum extract. The fruits of X. granatum was separation by maceration and sequential extraction method with hexane ethyl acetate and methanol to crude extracts. Crude extracts were assessed for their total phenolic contents tested using the Folin–Ciocalteu method and antioxidant activities tested using DPPH radical scavenging assay. The results showed that 1. Phytochemical examination of the extracts of X. granatum included alkaloids condensed tannins phenolic compounds triterpenes steroids cardiac glycosides and anthraquinones. 2 . The crude methanol extract had the highest phenolic content was 96.55 mg GAE /g dw. 3. The crude methanol extract could reduce DPPH; The EC50 was 34 μg/ ml
