The results showed that while it requires farmers to have more production experience and education, organic rice farming has advantages in producing more per land area with lower production costs and more stable product output. The lack of labor and tools for mechanization were the main difficulties of using this model. The average profit per crop of the organic rice model was1,768,000 VND/1,000 m2/crop, approximately 530,300 VND/1,000 m2/crop higher than the traditional rice model. Regression analysis results showed that the financial performance of the two models was affected by the educational level of farmers and types of costs such as fertilizers, pesticides and labor. Production experience of farmers also influences the efficiency of the organic rice production model, while factors relatedto seed and selling price affect the efficiency of the traditional rice production model.","PeriodicalId":159074,"journal":{"name":"TRA VINH UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF SCIENCE; ISSN: 2815-6072; E-ISSN: 2815-6099","volume":"96 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128801194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hydrologic performance of pervious concrete pavement depends significantlyon the rainfall intensity and the designed slope. This study assessed the hydrologic performance of pervious concrete pavement by evaluating the time for surface ponding via finite element analysis. A series of simulations were carried out to explore the relationship between hydrologic performance and pervious concrete pavement by the Hydrus 2D program. The research’s results showed that as the slope increased, the time of surface ponding also increased. The data indicated that the slope variable had a low impact on the water level in pervious concrete pavement under a constant rainfall intensity. Observation of the effect of rainfall intensity showed that when the rainfall intensity increased twofold, the time for surface ponding dropped about two times. Furthermore, when surface ponding appeared, pervious concrete pavement at higher rainfall intensity had lower water content. The rainfall intensity also significantly affects the hydrologicperformance of the pervious concrete pavement. This study only assessed the hydrologic performance by using the time for surface ponding via finite element analysis. Further experimental studies should be conducted to examine the relationship of other factors to the hydrologic performance of pervious concrete pavement.","PeriodicalId":159074,"journal":{"name":"TRA VINH UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF SCIENCE; ISSN: 2815-6072; E-ISSN: 2815-6099","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133665785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the article is to use the effective area method in Eurocode 3 standard to determine NRd and MRd of the steel column base, then perform numericalcalculations to check the calculation results. The results show that the NRd and MRd of the steel column base tends to increase when increasing the thickness of the base plate and the grade of the concrete foundation block. Then, corresponding to each thickness of the base plate (from t=18 mm to t=36 mm) and each concrete grade (from C16/20 to C50/60) will give corresponding results for each NRd and MRd. However, it is important to note that the compressive capacity and bending moment of the column base will be limited, can not increase forever, for example, can not overcome the compressive strength Npl;Rd = 1596 kN and the limit bending strength Mpl;Rd=131.3 kN.m of the concrete foundation block at the base of the column.

The speed difference depends mainly on the grip between the wheels and the road surface. When the traction acting on both driving wheels is equal,the differential will distribute traction equally, helping the vehicle move stably on a straight road. However, if one of the two driving wheels rolls on a slippery road, the differential will distribute more engine power to this wheel. As a result, the vehicle’s motion is unstable, engine power is lost, the vehicle cannot move. To solvethe problem, using a limited-slip differential, an active differential or a traction control system is considered an optimal solution. This study uses the brake moment acting on the skidding wheel to redistribute the engine power at the two driving wheels and uses the PID method for traction control at the drive wheels.

Water samples were collected monthly from January to June 2021 from 90 vannamei farmers in six different areas, including Vang Quoi Dong, Dinh Trung Binh Thoi, Phu Long, Phu Vang, and Binh Thang of Binh Dai District. Parameters investigated in this study included pH,alkalinity, NH4+, NH3, NO2- and three other minerals. Water quality parameters were analyzed based on APHA standard analysis methods. The results showed that the water quality of shrimp farming areas in Binh Dai fluctuated from time to time, and water quality parameters were suitable for vannamei shrimp farming. However, the concentration of NO2- was always higher than the permitted threshold. The results fromcluster analysis and MANOVA testing showed that water quality of the shrimp farming areas in Binh Dai was significantly different (p < 0.05), especially NO2-, Ca, Mg and alkalinity. These findings suggest that farmers must apply proper solutions for water quality management in each farming area to maximize crop production.","PeriodicalId":159074,"journal":{"name":"TRA VINH UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF SCIENCE; ISSN: 2815-6072; E-ISSN: 2815-6099","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125741937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
