The analyses show that CeO2 particles were evenly dispersed on rGO and the optical properties of the xCeO2/Rgo (x = 0,5; 1,5; and 5,0%wt)/rGO material were significantly enhanced due to the interaction between CeO2 anf rGO. The effects of CeO2 loading, initial RhB concentration and pH were thoroughly investigated. Under the irradiation, the RhB degradation reached 100% over 1.5%CeO2/rGO. tThe high performance of the synthesized composites was attributed to the significant suppression of the recombination rate of photo-generated electron - hole pairs due to charge transfer between rGO sheets and CeO2 particles and the smaller optical band-gap in the CeO2/rGO nanocomposite.","PeriodicalId":23524,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Natural Sciences and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141664633","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 less polar and hydrophobic nature of PAHs is responsible for their ability to adsorb onto suspended particles and to accumulate in sediments. In this study, surface sediment samples were collected in the South Central Coast of Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam to determine concentrations of 16 PAHs. The sediment samples were directly ultrasound extracted with a mixture of acetone/hexane (1:1) and toluene. The extract was purified on a chromatographic column containing activated silica gel with dichloromethane/hexane (1:3) as elution solvent. PAHs were separated and quantified on a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) system with a DB-5ms column. The MS detector was operated in electron impact ionization (EI) mode and ion selective monitoring (SIM) mode. Levels of 16 PAHs ranged from 33.1 to 196 (mean 80.0) nanograms per gram sediment (ng/g). In all sediment samples, proportions of high molecular weight PAHs (4-6 rings, 63–88%) were higher than those of low molecular weight PAHs (2-3 rings, 12–37%), indicating that emission sources are mainly related to thermal processes rather than petroleum products. The most predominant substances were: Pyr (14% ± 3%), Flt (12% ± 3%), Phe (10% ± 3%), Chr (9% ± 2%), and BaP (9% ± 3%).

Hence, studies of its biology have received a large consideration of entomologists. In a course of study on Hymenoptera in Odisha state of the country in 2015, we observed the nesting behavior of several wasps and recorded their new nesting sites. Therefore, this study presents notes on the nesting behavior of the four Indian wasps, namely, Chalybion bengalense (Dahlbom) (Sphecidae), Trypoxylon petiolatum F. Smith (Crabronidae), Delta esuriens (Fabricius) and Xenorhynchium nitidulum (Fabricius) (both, Vespidae: Eumeninae). The first two wasps used man-made holes on the walls of a big temple for their nesting sites, fully stored paralyzed spiders in the nest cells for offspring and plugged them with mud, in a case of Chalybion bengalense, females added a white layer of unknown material on the outside surface of covers. Delta esuriens chose its nesting site beneath the thatched roof of a human house, built a linear series of pot-shaped mud cells that were firmly attached to some rice blades hung loosely beneath the roof and provisioned caterpillars in these nest cells. The latter built a mud nest on a wall of a human house. Xenorhynchium nitidulum made a nest cell oblique a 30° angle from the vertical surface of the wall, plastered the outside surface of the cell with tree resin of a certain plant species after completion of building and then stored prey of an unknown caterpillar in the cell. The female of Xenorhynchium nitidulum sit in the nest cell after provisioning of the first prey to the following morning suggesting that the wasp progressively provisions its nest and the egg is laid prior to provisioning.","PeriodicalId":23524,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Natural Sciences and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140979292","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}

Total DNA extracted from blood samples was used for library preparation and whole mitochondrial genome sequencing using NGS. Comparing the obtained mitochondrial genome sequence with the RSRS (Reconstructed Sapiens Reference sequence) from Genbank (NC_012920) revealed 3929 distinct variants in 108 individuals with 1663 variants in the Tay ethnic group, 905 variants in the Thai ethnic group and 1361 variants in the Nung ethnic group. Nucleotide diversity (π) and haplotype were highest in the Thai ethnic group, being 0.0023 and 0.989, respectively. The genetic distances between each ethnic group pair (Tay-Nung, Tay-Thai and Thai-Nung), as shown by the FST values, were 0.03101; 0.00447 and 0.03282, respectively.

In particular, the human skin from plastic surgery can be an ideal source of skin models to evaluate the effectiveness of some biological products with the advantage of possessing a natural finished skin structure. However, to maintain skin viability under laboratory conditions, it is necessary to establish ex vivo skin tissue nurturing conditions. Therefore, we tested conditions for culturing skin tissue outside the body using the air-liquid interface tissue culture method and Wharton's Jelly (WJ) from the umbilical cords and nutrient medium. The results showed that the skin tissue could maintain and survive in the air-liquid interface tissue culture conditions. Results from observations showed that the size and color of skin tissues were consistent until ten days and 15 days, when skin tissues were maintained in the nutrient media or nutrient media combined with WJ, respectively. Additionally, the histological analysis indicated that cultured skin tissues could maintain their normal structure of three epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis layers; the epidermis started to separate from the dermis after ten days or 15 days, depending on whether skin tissues were maintained in nutrient media only or nutrient media combined with WJ, respectively. Moreover, hair follicles, melanocytes, and keratinocytes were observed at their right location and typical structure. These results indicated that skin could survive in a nutrient medium for ten days, particularly prolonged over 15 days in a combination of nutrient medium and WJ. These results indicated the potential to maintain skin tissue ex vivo and use it for different tests under laboratory conditions.","PeriodicalId":23524,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Natural Sciences and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140668262","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}

A simple experimental procedure was carried out in two stages. First, the thin copper substrate was lightly oxidized with ammonium persulfate in an alkaline environment, then incubated at 200oC for 3 hours to form copper nanowires that exist stably on the substrate surface. Immediately afterward, highly uniform CuO/Au nanowires were formed by the chemical reduction of HAuCl4 on the surface of the oxidized copper plate. The results show that gold nanoparticles of about 5 nm were attached to CuO nanowires with a length of up to 10 µm and a diameter between 100 and 300 nm. The X-ray energy dispersive spectrum demonstrated a uniform distribution of gold particles. The CuO/Au structure was used as a SERS substrate to detect methylene blue at a low concentration of 10 pM corresponding to 2 signals at the peaks 1395 cm−1 and 1625 cm−1 as the C-H and C-C deformation vibrations of the aromatic ring. The logarithms of the methylene blue concentrations were linearly proportional to their SERS signal intensity of methylene blue at the peak of 1625 cm-1 with a value R2 = 0.96. The signals of SERS for methylene blue at twelve different points on the material sample showed no significant differences in both intensity and shape of the spectrum, with an RSD value of 5.9%. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":23524,"journal":{"name":"VNU Journal of Science: Natural Sciences and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140670407","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}
