Effect of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L) leaves powder (SBP) (0.25-1.0%) on qualities and lipid oxidation of pork emulsion sausages (Moo Yor) during 21 days of refrigerated storage was investigated. Control sample had lower fiber content than samples added with SBP (p<0.05) at day 0 of storage. Samples treated with SBP (0.25-1.0%) had lowr L* value but higher b* value compared to the control samples (p<0.05). With the addition of SBP peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) value in the sausages were retarded effectively compared to the control sample (p<0.05) especially when the SBP at high contents were used. Samples treated with SBP had higher hardness compared with control sample during storage (p<0.05). SBP had no detrimental effect on the sensory attributes of sausages. Therefore SBP can be utilized in sausages to enhance shelf life quality.

The objective of this work was to study the adsorption efficiency of bamboo and its surface modified with manganese oxide for removal of Pb(II) ion. The adsorption of Pb(II) from aqueous solution onto bamboo (BB) and manganese oxide-modified bamboo powder (MnO-BB) was evaluated based on batch experiment. The adsorption efficiency of MnO-BB onto Pb(II) was investigated as a function of the initial pH of 6 equilibrium time of 30 min adsorbent concentration of 5 g/L and initial concentration of Pb(II) solution in the range of 50-500 mg/L. The adsorption isotherms of Langmuir Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich were used to describe the equilibrium isotherm. It is observed that the data from MnO-BB adsorbents fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacities of MnO-NC were estimated as 38.76 mg/g. By comparing with BB the amount of Pb(II) adsorbed onto MnO-BB was more than BB by about 40 times under the optimized adsorption condition. According to Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm the adsorptive mechanism of Pb(II) onto MnO-BB was chemisorption. The kinetic studies of Pb(II) demonstrated that the adsorption of Pb(II) onto MnO-BB adsorbent followed a pseudo second-order model with a good correlation. The adsorption mechanism was processed via chemical ion exchange between H+ and bonded MnO groups and Pb(II) ions in solution

The objective of this work is to investigate the effects of water injection on performance of 5-stroke SI engine converted from the conventional 4-stroke SI engine.The cylinder head of the 2ndand3rd cylinder was modified and connected to each other to be the ultra-expansion stroke or second expansion stroke (5thstroke). The engine was performed on a dynamometer at different engine speeds and loads of 1500 to 3000 rpm and 25% to 75% of full load respectively. The water was injected during the second expansion stroke (5th stroke). Fuel and air consumptions engine torque rotational speed air/fuel ratio and temperatures of intake air engine oil cooling water and exhaust gas were recorded to use for calculating brake specific water and exhaust gas were recorded to use for calculating brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and engine efficiency. The results showed that at low engine speed of 1500 rpm for all loads the water injection improves BSFC and the engine efficiency by 26% and 3.3% respectively. However a large amount of injected water shows insignificant improvement on BSFC and the engine efficiency due to short residence time especially at high engine speed. The deterioration of engine oil can be observed after test. These findings are relevant to engine design or modification especially at low engine speed.

The purpose of this research was to study productivity rate in concrete plastering of interior brick wall by studying 2 construction projects in Bangkok. The researcher divided the methods of labor productivity into two categories: (1) direct labor production technique and (2) field rating technique. The direct labor productivity technique of project A is about 1.38 m2/person/hr. and project B is about 1.19 m2/person/hr. by field rating technique project A had 77.75 % of workers in work status project B had 73.75% of workers in work status. The error rate was 4.08 % and 4.31 % respectively at the 95% confidence level. Project A has higher productivity rate than project B because project manager A chooses ready-mixed plaster for plastering. Project B selects cement mix (silica cement) mixed with fine sand cement mixer and water which take longer to prepare than Project A resulted cost of materials increase for 28.21 %.Meanwhile the working time for wall plastering could take longer for 13.77 %. It can be concluded that the selection of material for work is another factor affecting labor productivity
