Ballet dancing requires clear and precise body gestures. To raise standard and motivation for Thai ballet dancers, this testing console is developed such that dancers and beginners are able to learn and keep track of their dancing progress. Their gestures can be compared with internationally recognized ballet dancers without face-to-face learning. This enables self-development according to their purposes and pace. The portable console is easy to use. Connect it to a monitor, turn on, and enjoy.
แม้ว่าบัลเลต์จะเป็นนาฏศิลป์แบบคลาสสิคที่กำเนิดมาตั้งแต่สมัยเรอเนสซองส์ในคริสต์ศตวรรษที่ 15 บัลเลต์ก็ยังเป็นที่นิยมในปัจจุบันทั้งในกลุ่มนักเต้นอาชีพและบุคคลทั่วไป ตลอดจนเป็นรากฐานและนำมาประยุกต์ให้เข้ากับการเต้นในหลายๆรูปแบบ โดยนักเต้นอาชีพที่มีชื่อเสียงมักมีประสบการณ์ในการเต้นบัลเลต์ไม่มากก็น้อย สำหรับในประเทศไทยนั้น แม้ว่าจะมีนักบัลเลต์ที่มีชื่อเสียงในระดับนานาชาติหลายท่าน แต่ก็ยังถือว่ามีจำนวนน้อยเมื่อเทียบกับจำนวนนักเรียน ดังนั้น เพื่อเป็นการสร้างมาตรฐานและแรงบันดาลใจสำหรับนักเรียนหรือนักเต้นชาวไทย ผู้วิจัยจึงสร้างอุปกรณ์นี้ขึ้นมาเพื่อให้นักเต้นและบุคคลทั่วไปสามารถเรียนรู้และตรวจสอบพัฒนาการในการเต้นของตัวเอง โดยเทียบเคียงกับนักบัลเลต์ที่มีชื่อเสียงระดับนานาชาติได้ โดยไม่จำเป็นที่จะต้องเรียนแบบ Face-to-face กับนักบัลเลต์ท่านนั้นโดยตรง เพื่อประโยชน์ในการปรับปรุงตัวเองให้มีความสามารถสูงขึ้นตามจุดประสงค์ของแต่ละคน

During the recent years, PM2.5 concentration is rising above the safety exposure limit in Thailand. PM2.5 could have originated from various sources such as exhaust fumes, open air burning, wildfire, etc. This concludes that all cities or places would have different PM source contributions. Most studies regarding the PM source findings were done based on chemical analysis. Our research team would like to predict the PM sources physically by nanostructures analysis. These methods would require the PM dust to be collected in a limited amount of time and dry. The use of paper filters may cause contamination from filter material which may cause errors in result evaluation. Our team suggests using Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) where electrostatics is used to capture PM dust. This research mainly focuses on designing and building the ESP system for PM collection whereas the requirement is to collect at least 100 mg of PM dust within 1 day which would be adequate for nanostructure analysis. The study revealed that the customized ESP system could achieve of up to 80% collecting efficiency (which is more than the commercial ESP that we previously used), there’s a also a parametric study of relationships between flow velocity and collecting efficiency where collecting efficiency is inversely proportional to flow velocity. The suggested air velocity is not to exceed 2 m/s. However, there’re still more room for improvement of the ESP system for PM collection such as the convenience of PM collection process which resulted from the ESP construction geometry and sizes.

This research aims to study the waste management process of horse manure, the production process of organic fertilizer from horse waste, and opinions on the use of innovative organic fertilizer from horse manure. A mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative research, is employed. The organic fertilizer is produced from horse manure, which is a waste that incurs disposal costs. Through the fermentation process, it is transformed into an environmentally friendly fertilizer containing essential nutrients beneficial to plants. According to the laboratory analysis of the organic fertilizer conducted by the Soil Science Laboratory, Faculty of Agricultural Technology, King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, it was found that organic fertilizer from horse manure contains essential nutrients for plant growth, including macronutrients, secondary nutrients, and micronutrients. This reflects the potential of horse waste management, the production process of organic fertilizer from horse manure, the efficiency of the organic fertilizer, and strategies for adding value to expand its commercialization.

Sugar production from sugarcane is a complex process that requires precise control. One of the major issues is sugar loss, which can result from various factors, particularly "burnt cane," before being sent to the mill. This affects the quality of the sugarcane and the efficiency of sugar extraction, along with the performance of the machinery and the properties of the cane, which impact the amount of sugar extracted. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence sugar loss in the sugar production process, using quantitative data from a sugar factory. Nine variables were examined, including mechanical efficiency, machine downtime per day, cane waiting time per day, sand content in cane juice, pol extraction efficiency, overall working time efficiency, cane juice purity, cane sugar content (C.C.S.), and burnt cane. The data were analyzed using correlation analysis to examine relationships between variables and regression modeling to predict sugar loss. The results showed that mechanical efficiency, cane sugar content, and the amount of sand or impurities in the cane juice were significantly correlated with sugar loss. Mechanical efficiency had a direct relationship with the amount of cane milled, which improved sugar production. On the other hand, burnt cane, or cane that was burnt before harvesting, resulted in reduced sugar extraction and impacted the quality of the sugar. Therefore, reducing sugar loss in the production process can be achieved by improving machine efficiency, reducing impurities in cane juice, and managing burnt cane, which will improve sugar production efficiency in the future.
