In this research we studied and fabricated a small vacuum coating system which is suitable for small pieces of the samples. It can help us to save in both cost and time for coating materials in each run. The home-built system consists of (1) a two-stage rotary pump used as a roughing and backing pump for a vacuum chamber and (2) a diffusion pump. The ultimate pressure of this diffusion pump is about 10-7 torr. From the result of testing the fabricated vacuum system it is found that the chamber pressure under the atmosphere can get down to 2.2 x 10-2 torr in 6 minutes by the rotary pump. The pressure inside the chamber is continuously lower to achieve 4.5 x 10-5torr in 30 minutes by the diffusion pump. Moreover we did further testing the system by coating pure aluminum (99.999%) on a Si (100) substrate using a resistive heater source made of tungsten with applied voltage and current of about 2.19 V and 110 A respectively. The aluminum surface has been investigated by SEM and AFM.

FAO reported in year 2008 world paddy production more than 40 countries and about 60 million tones of rice straw were produced in Thailand. For most farmers use an easy method for land clearing by straw burning in open area. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide(CO2) emissions from paddy field burning to atmosphere is causes of global warming problem. This project aimed to utilize agricultural waste from rice field to be cheap biomass energy was started in 2009 at Nhongjork area. The waste was mixed with molasses and kaolin in ratio of rice straw : molasses : kaolin as 80:10:10 by weights. A size of rice straw fuel pellet was 1.54 cm. diameter and 2 cm. height. The calorific value of the rice straw pellet was tested by using Gallekamp Autobomb instrument by ASTM(American Society of Testing and Materials) standard. The results of testing found : CO2 emission from rice straw fuel pellets as half of burning in open area (by weight). Cost of energy for cooking by using Bio-fuel pellets only 7 Baht( 0.25 US $) and half price by comparing with LPG. The useful of rice straw Bio-fuel pellet is one of a cheap biomass energy for household and small manufacturers.

The research aimed 1) to develop the product of floral arrangement on pedestal made of Sanoh Hangkai (jointvetch / Aeschynemene Indics L.) with paper mache technique and 2) to study the target group’s satisfaction with floral arrangement on pedestal product made of jointvetch with paper mache technique. The result found that five specialists had a high satisfaction level to the second method of combining jointvetch with tissue from toilet paper. Mean of satisfaction level was 4.00. Fifty people in target group had a high satisfaction level on developing the floral arrangement on pedestal product made of jointvetch with paper mache technique. Mean of satisfaction level was 4.89 4.84 and 4.66. The details were as follows: 1. The specialists satisfied the study of the second method of combining jointvetch with tissue from toilet paper and had the overall comments about its features with the mean at 4.00 (high level). Mean of the material’s tenderness was 4.60 (highest level). The balance of the material was 4.10 (high level). The toughness of the material was 4.06 (high level) and the material’s softness was 3.50 (high level). 2. The satisfaction level of fifty people in target group to the development of floral arrangement on pedestal product made of jointvetch with paper mache technique showed that they satisfied the floral arrangement in rice-grain shaped on pedestal with its highest mean at 4.89. Mean of satisfaction level on the floral arrangement on pedestal with applied Thai style was 4.84 (highest level) followed by the floral arrangement with joss sticks and candles on pedestal which was 4.66 (highest level).

The purposes of this research were to investigate the desired characteristics of the Applied Thai Program’s graduates of the faculty of Liberal Arts and to compare the graduate users’ personal factors. The subjects were business organizations and executive managers. The research tools were questionnaire and interview. The data were analyzed by percentage mean standard deviation and F-test. The findings were as follows: As for employers’ satisfaction towards the graduates’ qualifications the desirable characteristics of the graduates both overall and within each aspect are at the high level ( x= 3.84). Moral and ethical behavior rated the highest desirable characteristics (x= 4.01) followed by domain of psychomotor skills (x= 3.99) as well as interpersonal skills and responsibility (x= 3.84). As for the comparison of the graduate users’ personal factors it was found that: as for types of business organizations the overall mean value of types of business organizations was not different but the mean scores of moral and ethical behavior and domain of psychomotor skills were statistically significant at 0.01 level. As for positions of graduate users the overall mean value of positions of graduate users was statistically significant at 0.01level. Moreover the mean scores of knowledge and university identity were statistically significant at the level 0.01 while the mean scores of moral and ethical behavior mathematical analysis skills communication skills information technology application skills and domain of psychomotor skills were statistically significant at 0.05 level. As for working experiences the overall mean value of working experiences was not different but the mean scores of university identity was statistically significant at the level 0.05. As for working tenure the overall mean value of working tenure was statistically significant at 0.01level. Moreover the mean scores of moral and ethical behavior knowledge cognitive skills interpersonal skills and responsibility mathematical analysis skills communication skills information technology application skills and domain of psychomotor skills were statistically significant at 0.01level while the mean scores of university identity was statistically significant at the level 0.05. As for employers’ needs the first desired characteristics of the graduates were information technology application skills and basic computer knowledge. Thai and English oral communication skills were the second desired characteristics.

Gac fruit healthy fruit contains many antioxidants such as beta-carotene lycopene. Traditional process by boil reduces antioxidants. The purpose of this study is to process gac juice mixed passion fruit juice by microwave. The optimum formulation from consumer tests were done with 50 juice preferred consumer show that the average like is 3.90 point (5 point). The study used the 3X2 factorial in CRD with 600 700 and 800 watts and at 45 and 55 sec. Analyzed color amount of beta-carotene lycopene pH and microorganisms showed that 700 watts at 45 sec. gave the highest level of beta-carotene contents at 38.11 ?g/g. The comparison between the gac juice mixed passion fruit juice through boiled process and the gac juice mixed passion fruit juice through microwave process was investigated. The content of beta-carotene and lycopene of juice through microwave process was than 2.43 and 1.59 times respectively.
