2024-04-09T11:04:21+07:00

This research aims to study the effects of pineapple peel bio-extracts on the germination and growth of green peas. The bio-extract was diluted at ratios of 1:100, 1:200, 1:300, 1:400, and 1:500 (v/v) with water. Germination percentage was studied by soaking healthy pea seeds in bio-extract solutions of various dilutions compared to distilled water for 8 hours, then sowing them on germination dishes using the Top of paper method and watering with distilled water and bio-extract solutions at the previously mentioned dilution ratios for 48 hours. The appropriate concentration of bio-extract that resulted in the highest germination rate was found to be 1:200, with a percentage of 76.67 ± 5.03, whereas the control group had a germination rate of 58.33 ± 5.03. For the growth study of pea seedlings, the seeds were soaked in bio-extract for 2 hours, then planted on germination trays and watered with bio-extract solutions at different dilution levels compared to distilled water twice a day. The height and stem diameter of the seedlings were measured on days 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, and the fresh weight was measured on day 10 of the experiment. It was found that the bio-extract solution at a dilution level of 1:200 resulted in pea seedlings with a height, stem diameter, and fresh weight on day 10 of 10.51 ± 0.87 centimeters, 2.20 ± 0.17 millimeters, and 1.97 ± 0.06 grams, respectively. This was compared to the control group with measurements of 7.39 ± 1.65 centimeters, 2.16 ± 0.40 millimeters, and 1.67 ± 0.40 grams, respectively.

The purposes of this research were to study the process of producing crispy rice cakes using traditional methods, study the suitable conditions of producing for use with glutinous rice flour raw material and easily available equipment.

The results of the study found that big wood mortar was important equipment for making crispy rice cake by traditional method. Hot steamed glutinous rice was pounded into dough, before being rolled into a round shape, drying rice dough sheet by sunlight and made crispy by grilling. The suitable conditions to produced rice dough sheets found that suitable temperature to replace using sunlight is 60^ºC for 1 hour while the appropriate thickness of rice dough sheets is 14 g/100 cm². Development of crispy rice cake production process there are steps as follows: mixing all the ingredient together (glutinous rice flour, water, brown sugar and salt), steaming until the dough is cooked for 30 minutes, kneading cooked dough for 30 minutes, rolling the dough into sheets with a thickness 14 g/cm², drying dough sheets in hot air oven at 60^ºC for 1 hour, cutting dough sheets into shapes and baking until crispy by convection oven at 200^ºC for 5 minutes.

The sensory attribute acceptance of developed process recipe and traditional recipe were similar for the best taste and aroma. The products were accepted at level of high to very high preference. Texture and overall acceptance of the developed process were accepted at level of moderate to high preference. While the traditional recipe was accepted at level of high to very high preference for every characteristic. Moisture content and water activity of traditional recipe was higher than developed process recipe.

An Investigation of the Effectiveness of Using Tracker Software to Enhance Academic Achievement in Simple Harmonic Motion among Grade 11 Students

2024-04-09T11:11:11+07:00

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of using tracker software to enhance the academic achievement of Grade 11 students in the topic of simple harmonic motion. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, utilizing a pre-test and post-test control group design. The sample was randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group (using tracker software) and a control group (using traditional lecture-based instruction). Both groups were subjected to a post-test to assess their academic achievement. Data were analyzed using a t-test to compare the statistically significant differences in academic achievement between the two groups. The results revealed that the percentage of mean scores between pre-test and post-test were 86.31 and 85.23, respectively. The post-test scores increased by 46.10%, with a mean pre-test score of 6.14 and a standard deviation of 4.01, while the mean post-test score was 11.39 and the standard deviation was 4.19. The t-test value was less than .05.

2024-03-22T14:23:15+07:00

This study determined the amount of nutrients and pH of soil in maize growing areas using the X-ray fluorescence technique. The results showed that the total elemental concentrations varied among the three fields, with nine elements detected: Si, Fe, Ca, Ti, Rh, Mn, Cl, K, and Zr. The macronutrients were present in very low concentrations. The soil pH values ranged from 7.02 to 7.34, indicating slightly acidic to moderately alkaline conditions, which is consistent with the characteristics of the Lopburi soil series. The potassium concentrations measured by the Kasetsart University soil test kit and XRF showed a similar trend. Areas with moderate potassium levels had a concentration less than 0.51%, while areas with high potassium levels had a concentration more than 0.76%. Silicon was the most abundant element in the soil.
