Drying an agricultural product with hot air (HA) method causes a long drying time and results in high specific drying energy consumption (SEC). The dried product has high shrinkage percentage and low rehydration. Therefore this research aims to develop dried shiitake mushroom using belt-conveyor combined microwave-hot air drying method (MHB). The shiitake mushroom was dried by MHB at microwave power of 300 W 400 W 500 W and 600 W and air temperature of 65 oC with air velocity of 0.3 m/s and recycled air of 80% and by the HA drying method at air temperature of 65 oC. The samples were dried until their final moisture content less than 11.1% dry basis. The drying kinetics SEC of drying process and quality of dried shiitake mushroom were evaluated. The quality of dried product was considered in terms of color shrinkage rehydration texture water activity and microstructure. The results showed that the shiitake mushroom drying using MHB gave higher drying rate than that of HA drying method leading to short drying time and resulting in low SEC. The drying rate of un-blanched shiitake mushroom was higher than that of blanched shiitake mushroom. Dried shiitake mushroom from MHB drying gave lower values in shrinkage percentages and hardness but higher rehydration and larger pore size than that dried by HA drying. However the color values (L* +a* and +b*) of dried shiitake mushroom in all cases were not significantly different. Meanwhile dried shiitake mushroom from un-blanched case gave lower values in shrinkage percentage and hardness but higher values in all colors and rehydration and larger pore size than those of blanched case.

The study entitled “Education 4.0: An Evaluation of Students’ Attitudes towards Using Mobile Applications for English Language Learning” a mixed-method research aims to find out what are the students’ attitudes towards the use of mobile assisted in language learning what factors result in the acceptance and the use of mobile applications for English language learning and what are the application features responding to the students’ needs. The participants in this study were selected based on the convenience sampling method. They were undergraduate students studying at the tertiary level from the first-year to the fourth-year in the Faculty of Liberal Arts Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon in the academic year of 2020. The total number of participants was 131 university students. The research instruments used for data collection was questionnaire which can be divided into four parts as follows: Part 1 general information Part 2 mobile applications used for English language learning Part 3 factors affecting the acceptance and the use of mobile applications for English language learning and Part 4 open-ended questions for additional information and suggestions so as to develop the features of mobile assisted in English language learning responding to the students’ needs. The data obtained from the questionnaire were divided into two types. The quantitative data such as the scores from 4-point Likert scale were analyzed by using descriptive statistics for example frequency percentage mean and standard deviation. In addition to the qualitative data the students’ written opinions were analyzed by using textual analysis word clouds and sentiment analysis of users’ attitudes towards the use of mobile applications for English language learning. Most participants in this study were female university students whose age ranged from 18 to 22 years old. These participants filled in the four rating scale questionnaire: 4 strongly agree 3 agree 2 disagree and 1 strongly disagree to report their attitudes towards the use of mobile applications for English language learning. The results of the study showed that most participants frequently used Youtube and Facebook to develop their vocabulary. The individual factors such as gender age and English language proficiency were not correlated with the acceptance and the use of mobile application for English language learning. The participants also reported that they strongly agreed on the performance expectancy and the perceived usefulness with a low to moderate correlation in each factor. According to the descriptive analysis and textual analysis the results reported that these university students showed positive attitudes towards the use of mobile applications for English language learning because it was easy fast and could access information quickly. One possible explanation for this was their age group. These participants were the members of generation Z who were born with innate digital literacy and the advancement of technology. They were also familiar with social media. However one of the limitations in the study was data analysis since the results of sentimental analysis and textual analysis might be influenced by word segmentation approach. For the content of English the differences between general English and English for Specific Purposes did not result in any decisions on using the mobile application for English language learning.

This research analyzes the parameters affecting the penetrating resistance of shells on the armor surface by the finite element method. In this study the results were compared with real bulletproof armor firing tests and finite element simulations. modeling of bulletproof and bulletproof armor using Solid Works program. Creating and simulating armor firing pattern using ANSYS Explicit Dynamic program. damage test is based on National Institute of Justice (NIJ) level 3 standards with bullets the material of the ammunition is 7.62 mm tungsten carbide (WC). there are two types of bulletproof armor used in this simulation 1) SKD11 2) Aluminum AL7075. The simulations is into 1 category Simulation of stacked armor plates. The sizes of the armor plates are 6 8 and 10 mm and the angles of firing of bulletproof armor are 0 30 and 45 degrees. result of this simulation armor thickness and firing angle are factors of penetration resistance.

The objective of this study was implementation of microcontroller to construct Appl to control the operation of the Dog food exchange machine using plastic bottles system. To study an operation control of microcontroller system operation and the to create construction of a Dog food exchange machine using plastic bottles. The component of Dog food exchange machine using plastic bottles are divided into 3 parts: 1) parts of detecting plastic bottles sensor 2) part of the motor control 3) part of the vending machine. Results of the study of Dog food exchange machine using plastic bottles. used in 2 ways: 1) plastic bottle vending 2) coin vending for 10 baht. When the total number of bottles is set at 15 bottles the plastic bottle vending machine will not work until the Reset button is pressed. Can still work normally

Projects robot Cartesian coordinate system uses machine vision. Has the following objectives: 1) to study the principles of image processing using an automatic camera 2 ) to build a robotic pick and place an object from compile and process instruction and 3) to develop the robotic operation programming received instruction process via a computer with wifi connection and microcontroller board.
