: Floating breakwaters are applied in order to minimize material cost but still can reduce wave height. In this paper we investigated floating breakwater anchored by piles based on experimental study in the laboratory with model scale 1 : 13. Two types of floating model were tested with several combination wave height, wave period and surface water elevation to determined transmission coefficient. This experimental study proved that floating breakwater with piles can prevent wave height up to 27 cm. The physical model shows that ratio of depth to wave length is less than 0.6 and ratio of model width to wave length is less than 0.3. It is confirmed that if those ratio less than those value the transmission coefficient is higher than 0.5. The result also shown that the first type model of floating breakwater can reduce wave height to 60.4 % while the second one can reduce up to 55.56 %.

The research aimed to assess the level of acceptability of the developed activity sheets in Science 5 integrating climate change adaptation of grade 5 science teachers in the District of Pililla school year 2016-2017. In this research, participants were able to recognize and understand the importance of environmental education in improving basic education and integrating them in lessons through localization and contextualization. The researcher conducted the study to develop a material to use by Science teachers in Grade 5. It served also as a self-learning resource for students. The respondents of the study were the thirteen Grade 5 teachers teaching Science 5 in the District of Pililla. Respondents were selected purposively and identified by the researcher. A descriptive method of research was utilized in the research. The main instrument was a checklist which include items on the objectives, content, tasks, contextualization and localization of the developed activity sheets. The researcher developed a 2-week lesson in Science 5 for 4 Quarter based on the curriculum guide with integration of climate change adaptation. The findings revealed that majority of respondents are female, 31 years old and above, 10 years above in teaching science and have units in master’s degree. With regards to the level of acceptability, the study revealed developed activity sheets in science 5 is very much acceptable. In view of the findings, lessons in science 5 must be contextualized and localized to improve to make the curriculum responds, conforms, reflects, and be flexible to the needs of the learners, especially the 21 century learners who need to be holistically and skillfully developed. As revealed by the findings, it is more acceptable to localized and contextualized the learning materials for pupils. Policy formation and re-organization of the lessons and competencies in Science must be reviewed and re-evaluated. Lessons in science must also be integrated with climate change adaptation since nowadays, people are experiencing change in climate due to global warming and other factors. Through developed activity sheets, researcher strongly supports environmental education and believes this to serve as a way to instill environmental literacy to students.

Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLSDA) is a statistical method for classification and consists of a classical Partial Least Squares Regression in which the dependent variable is a categorical one expressing the class membership of each observation. The aim of this study is both analyzing the performance of PLSDA method in classifying 28 European Union (EU) member countries and 7 candidate countries (Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia FYR, Turkey moreover including potential candidates Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosova) correctly to their pre-defined classes (candidate or member) and determining the economic and/or demographic indicators, which are effective in classifying, by using the data set obtained from database of the World Bank.

The timber beam end effect in the torsion test is evaluated using binocular stereo vision system. It is recommended by BS EN 408:2010+A1:2012 to exclude a distance of two to three times of cross-sectional thickness (b) from ends to avoid the end effect; whereas, this study indicates that this distance is not sufficiently far enough to remove this effect in slender cross-sections. The shear modulus of six timber beams with different aspect ratios is determined at the various angles and cross-sections. The result of this experiment shows that the end affected span of each specimen varies depending on their aspect ratios. It is concluded that by increasing the aspect ratio this span will increase. However, by increasing the distance from the ends to the values greater than 6b, the shear modulus trend becomes constant and end effect will be negligible. Moreover, it is concluded that end affected span is preferred to be depth-dependent rather than thickness-dependant.
利用双目立体视觉系统对木梁扭转试验中的端部效应进行了评价。BS EN 408:2010+A1:2012建议从两端排除2至3倍横断面厚度(b)的距离，以避免端部效应;然而，这项研究表明，这个距离不足以消除这种影响，在细长的横截面。在不同角度和截面下，确定了6根不同纵横比的木梁的剪切模量。实验结果表明，每个试件的末端影响跨度随其纵横比而变化。结果表明，增大宽高比，该跨度将增大。但随着两端距离的增加，剪切模量趋于稳定，端部效应可以忽略不计。此外，还得出结论，末端影响跨度更倾向于深度依赖而不是厚度依赖。

This study aimed at modelling the wastewater collection system in Cha-Am Municipality using PCSWMM to investigate the quantity of combined sewage delivered to the aeration lagoon treatment system (ALTS). Cha-Am is a small sea resort town in Petchaburi Province located about 175 km southwest of Bangkok and is facing increasing development so it is important to understand current system performance and plan for future build out. PCSWMM was calibrated using observed ALTS inflow data for the period 15 June to 20 July 2015. The model was validated using observed ALTS inflow data for the periods 19 July to 20 October 2015 and 1 October to 31 December 2015, respectively. The 1:1 lines between modeled and observed peak flow and event volume for the calibration events qualitatively showed good correspondence.

Agro-ecology has emerged as a front runner in food security and sovereignty, with the UNFCCC and FAO advocating its global adoption. Agro-ecological implementation is theorised to increase crop health and yield by 3 – 10 % in a space of 3 – 10 years. This study aimed to assess the practicality and validity of these assumptions using mainly GIS and remote sensing. Adopting a mixture of Ex-post-facto and Experimental designs necessitated the presence of a control element. Each agro-ecological farm was thus assessed and compared with a conventional farm in the same geographical conditions. Crop health was assessed using satellite images analysed through ArcGIS to produce NDVI and Re-classified outputs whereas yield was calculated from production records. The shift in NDVI-crop ranges indicates changes in crop health over time. Crop health and yield both showed a decrease over 80% of the conventional farms and an increase over 80% of the organic farms. Keywords—Agro-ecology, Agro-ecosystem, Anthropogenic,
