The objective of this study was to evaluate the phenotypic lactation curve of crossbred dairy cows raised in Phetchaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan Provinces. Monthly sampling of daily milk yield of 5516 records from 485 first lactating heifers collected by the Biotechnology in Livestock Production Division Department of Livestock Development during the year 1997 to 2003 were used in this study. Monthly sampling of daily milk yield were fitted using Wilmink function (yt=a+bt+cexp-0.05t) to describe the whole and individual curves and estimated lactation parameters (a b and c). All parameters were used to calculate milk yield at day 60 (MY60) 280 (MY280) peak yield (PM) and accumulated 305 days yield (MY305). The results showed that the fixed effects of herd-year-season of calving level of HF blood or genetic provinces and age of calving were significant differences of all traits (P<0.05; a b c MY60 MY280 PM และ MY305). The phenotypic correlations between the considering traits were significant differences (P<0.05). Moreover the study on the nature of lactation curve could describe the lactating abilities and it could represent the others important traits in lactation curve. Therefore these results could guide the farmers to manage their farm and feeding the cattle to be more effective.

Tha Chin River is important to Samchuk Suphanburi province because the water can uses for urban agricultural tourism and industrial purpose. The increasing of population in Samchuk causes increasing of a demand of the water and a release of wastewater. Therefore the water quality of Tha Chin River was analyzed in flowing through Samchuk area in this research. The water sample was collected from seven ports area including two ports of urban area two ports of agricultural areas two ports of industrial areas and another port of tourism area. The water sample was monthly analyzed in various parameters including temperature in range 30-34 oC turbidity in range 28-59 cm pH in range 7.08-7.44 conductivity in range 19-23 s/cm dissolved oxygen in range 2.4-5.8 mg/L and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in range 2.0-8.4 mg/L depending on the seasons. In March exhibits the best water quality of Tha Chin River. In addition the water quality of Tha Chin River decreases from agricultural areas urban areas industrial areas to tourism area respectively. However the Tha chin river could be classified as class 1-3 which can be used for tap water fishery marine sport and agriculture.

The purpose of this research was to construct experimental learning kit on sound velocity finding by resonance method in order to use for a material in Physics Laboratory I. The instruments used in this study included : 1) an experimental learning kit on sound velocity finding by resonance method with the experimental manual and the record forms 2) the pre-studying and the post-studying forms and 3) the questionnaires about students satisfaction in using the kit. The samples consisted of 32 first year students studying in the faculty of Engineering and Architecture. The results showed that the post-test have the higher significant than the pre-test score at level of 0.05. It was found that the sound velocity from both the theoretical and the experimental framework did not significantly different at the level of 0.05. The end correction by experiment higher significant than by calculation at level of 0.01 and students were highly satisfied in using the invented kit.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the antioxidant and glucosidase inhibitory activities of 9 fresh and dried local vegetables extract from Kong Ra District Phatthalung Province such as Barringtonia acutangula (L.) Gaertn. Archidendron jirinaga Nielsen Scientific name: in process (Neang-rok: local name) Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz Ficus semicordata J.E.Smith Ficus oligodon Mig Ficus sp. Ficus obpyramidata King and Ficus fistulosa Reinw. The antioxidant activities were determined by DPPH radical scavenging. Results indicated that dried crude extract of Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz exhibited the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity at the final concentration of 5 mg/ml revealed the DPPH activity as 92.25%. Moreover the extracts were studied for their glucosidase inhibitory activities compare with authentic drug Acarbose Results indicated that dried crude extract of Ficus sp. exhibited the highest inhibitory activity revealed the inhibition activity as 85.46%. Thus these local vegetable might be possible new sources of glucosidase inhibition and antioxidants so there are suitable for use as functional food in the future.

The objectives of this research were 1) to develop and validate the structural equation model of application of the sufficiency economy philosophy with socioeconomics of rural community households 2) to study the importance scale of each of the observed variables with socioeconomics and the sufficiency economy philosophy of rural community households and 3) to study the correlation level between the sufficiency economy philosophy and socioeconomics of rural community households. The main focus of this study was on rural community households. Simple random sampling technique was used to arrive at 400 samples and a questionnaire was administered to collect data and analyzed by descriptive statistics factor analysis and structural equation model analysis. The result showed that the model was consistent with the empirical data. Goodness of fit measures were found to be: Chi-square 52.37(p- value= 0.15491). It was also found that the factor loading of socioeconomics with the highest point was the consumption expenditure at 0.68 whereas the factor loading of the sufficiency economy philosophy with the highest point was the criterion of moderation at 0.66. Besides it was found that the rural community households’ behavior of applying the sufficiency economy philosophy received direct influence from the socioeconomic factors at the point of 0.12.
