A study on Dragon fruit variety and effects of fertilizer on yield and quality of Dragon fruit (Hylocereus undatus) was conducted at Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi Huntra Ayutthaya from October 2008 to October 2012. The soil type condition was a clayey type (59% clay) containing very low amount of organic matter (0.79%) low phosphorus (3 ppm) but very high potassium (230 ppm). There were 12 varieties of Dragon fruit collected from all over Thailand for growth study and yield trial. It was found that the variety from Rayong Province which originally introduced from Vietnam gave the maximum yield (4164.25 kg/rai/year). Application of chemical fertilizer at the rate of 0 300 600 and 900 g/trellis/year was carried out to study the effects of fertilizer on growth and yield of Dragon fruit. The results have shown that the application of chemical fertilizer at the rate of 900 and 600 g/trellis/year gave better growth more flowers and fruits per trellis which resulted in maximum yield; 4230.75 and 4185.50 kg/rai/year respectively. The fertilizer application resulted in decreasing the texture firmness and total soluble solids but increasing the vitamin C content.

This abstract is aimed to study the problems and barriers in receiving the business administration students into co-operative education apprentice in accordance with the firms’ ideas on organizing and working processes qualifications knowledge and competence in the field of study. Population is the entrepreneurs or controllers who accept 180 fourth-year students of academic year 2255 to the internship programme. The data collection is using questionnaires. Statistics used in the data analysis are percentile means and stand deviation. The research results are as followed: 1. The problems and barriers on organizing and working process are at the high level. This implies that the firms are unable to coordinate with the institution to define and get the students ready before implementing.2. The problems and barriers on the qualifications of cooperative study students are at the high level. This implies that those students are unable to make decision to solve problems during internship. 3. The problems and barriers on knowledge and competence in their fields of study are at the high level. This implies that students are unable to communicate well both verbally and alphabetically in Thai and foreign languages.

This experimental research was to test a performance of flat-plate solar collectors using biodiesel as a working solution with a solar thermal system. The purposes were to promote a biodiesel use as an alternative fuel for higher efficient heat energy and as an added renewable energy for a production process and to provide a guideline in education and for development in the future. The experiment was to test a performance of flat sheet solar collectors using ASHRAE STANDARD 93-2003 and to test a thermal potential of 12 litres by volume of biodiesel in a 2 m2 flat- plate solar collector used as heat source of the system. Thus biodiesel was used as a working solution with a flow rate of 2.4 litre per minute and the test duration was between 09:00 am. and 03:00 pm. The result revealed the performance values of the flat-plate solar collector used in this experiment as FR( ) = 0.958 and FRUL = 15.02 W/m2K. The temperature of biodiesel in the solar thermal system increased from 33๐C to approximately 80-90๐C varied with solar radiation values. However; the mentioned degrees could be efficiently applied in biodiesel production process as a main heat source or a supplemental heat source depending on appropriate variables.

The objectives for the study are the causes seeking and studying the critical level of problems for the construction project within the Rattanakosin Technology University; Salaya together with proposing the solution and the prevention as the guidance to manipulate the construction project within the university which may help to reduce the delaying problems. The study would use the data from questionnaires and the interview forms for the construction manager engineer foreman contractor and construction project committee who are working for the 14 constructing projects within the university. As for the data analysis the researchers would compare the critical levels and the frequency of each cause of the delay. The results showed that the Problem causes delays construction occurring in Rattanakosin Technology University; Salaya by simply selecting the S.I. 1 in 3 sequence ที่most valuable of each factor the resulting delays in construction divided into four main topics below 1. Man : of 6 factors the total number of 18 factors 2. Material : of 6 factors the total number of 18 factors 3. Machine : of 5 factors the total number of 18 factors 4. Method : of 6 factors the total number of 18 factors

This paper presents the results of tests to study the energy efficiency of air conditioners Split 9000 BTU test the air in normal operation and when the tune parts. of Evaporator units use DC power from solar energy. Power of the test in normal operating conditions the air power and average about 820 watts on system configuration and operation of Evaporator units. 645 air watts average power consumption can be reduced up to 175 watts of electricity equivalent to 21.34% of them compare the energy efficiency of the air conditioner from the label number 5 on the test. The energy efficiency of a 14.41 11.55 a 24.76% increase in energy efficiency
