However, due to climate change and urbanization, heat stress is becoming more and more serious, affecting public health. This study used the method of calculating effective temperature (ET) to evaluate the spatial and temporal variation of heat stress in Hanoi city from the period 1961 to 2020. Calculation results of the ET value showed that the ET at the hot and fairly hot level was mainly concentrated in June, July, and August. ET tends to increase markedly over time. During the period 1961 - 1997, there was almost no hot ET, but from 1998 to the present, the number of hot ET months occurs frequently in June and July. The number of hot months in the downtown area of Hanoi is much higher than in the surrounding areas. With such a trend in the future, the months of June and July will always have hot ET. The research results are useful documents for management agencies and the health sector to take specific actions to strengthen the health care system, develop infrastructure, and inform the community about the risk of heat stress.","PeriodicalId":17007,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science Natural Science","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83581345","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 influence of density on microstructure, such as the change of structural units, bond lengths, the nearest common neighbors, and voids, was studied in detail. The analysis shows that these samples consist of regions of AlN and Si3N4 materials. The region of AlN material consists mostly of AlN crystals and small amount of AlN amorphous. The region of Si3N4 material has amorphous structure. Void analysis shows that there is the diffusion of Si atoms into the AlN amorphous region and conversely there is the diffusion of Al atoms into the Si3N4 amorphous region. The voids with large radius are localized in the amorphous structure region. The number of these voids decreases rapidly with the increase of density. This reduction improves significantly mechanical properties of samples.","PeriodicalId":17007,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Science Natural Science","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74464773","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}

In the present study, we described one species of Pareuchiloglanis based on collections from the Da River basin in Phong Tho district, Lai Chau province. Pareuchiloglanis sp. can be distinguished from congeners by the following unique combination of characters: D. i,6; A. i,4; P1. i,14-16 (primarily i,16); C. i,6-8,6-8,i (primarily i,8,8,i); interorbital distanceeye diameter 2.4-3.4; caudal peduncle length 17.1-21.5; caudal pedunle depth 6.0-7.0% SL; length of adipose basedorsal to adipose distance averaged 1.8; head length 19.2-24.3; anal-fin origin closer to the anus than to the caudal-fin base; adipose-fin base posterior to the tip of pelvic-fin rays; the pelvic-fin insertion located opposite to the fourth dorsal fin-ray element; maxillary barbel extending just beyond base of first pectoral-fin element; and yellow patches on dorsal surface (a broader pair on the last doral-fin ray, as large as two thirds length of pelvic-fin). Morphological analysis showed that Pareuchiloglanis sp. are closed to two species in the same surveyed area, P. tamduongensis and P. songdaensis. This paper also indicated morphological differences between Pareuchiloglanis sp. and other species that have yellow patches on dorsal surface.
