Since the Fukushima nuclear disaster, different types of mobile radiation monitoring devices have been investigated based on modern technologies in electronic – communication. Those types of equipment can directly measure the radioactive contamination in the ocean instead of the traditional laboratory method. This study presents a complete process of researching, designing, manufacturing, and integrating a mobile radiation monitoring system (MRMS) in the ocean. The integrated radiation sensor can both measure radiation dose rate and identify radioactive isotopes on a floating device. The measured data from the sensor is processed and displayed on the electronic block by developed software, or it can be transmitted directly to the mainland by one of three different communication devices. This prototype system is the first product in Vietnam in the development of the MRMS, which is highly promising in terms of performance, low cost, and maintenance.","PeriodicalId":23553,"journal":{"name":"Vietnam Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74043235","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 total, 284 charcoal producers, 160 charcoal workers and 160 neighbors were interviewed using structured questionnaires. Additionally, Carbon monoxide (CO), nitro dioxide (NO2), total suspended particles (TSP), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) from traditional kilns and ambient air samples were analyzed. The result show that the number of kilns owned by each charcoal producer was 3.13 kilns per household; of which the average volume of each kiln was 59.07­ m3 kiln-1, with a yearling charcoal yield of around 80.71 ton kiln-1. The profitability of charcoal producers was annually approximately 133 million VND per household. Charcoal workers predominantly reported suffering from eye irritation issues (41.6%) whilst adjacent neighbors frequently experienced respiratory problems (87.5%). The interviewees obviously recognized the negative impacts of charcoal production activities on community health (63.1% respondents) and local fruit farmers (79.4% respondents), yet only the minority of residents (8.11% respondents) required a change from the current charcoal-based livelihood. The CO, TSP, and SO2 in waste gas compositions all exceeded the maximum permissive levels of the Vietnamese National Standard (QCVN 19:2009/BTNMT), while the air quality surpassed the safety level of TSP and SO2 (QCVN 05:2013/BTNMT). This indicates very high risk to those who are regularly exposed to the air pollutants. The study suggested that technological solutions and responsible policies should be enforced to promote the sustainability of charcoal production and minimize the negative impacts on human health and the environment.","PeriodicalId":23553,"journal":{"name":"Vietnam Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90102088","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 particular, hydroponics is a commonly used farming technique due to many advantages: no soil, space saving, no weeds, easy control of influencing factors, double yield. Hydroponic crop production systems are used worldwide to grow flowers, foliage, litter, and fruit and vegetable crops. Like other farming methods, hydroponics still has problems with pests and diseases that cause serious damage to the harvest that have not been completely resolved. One of the sources of pathogens is the hydroponic solution. Many methods to kill bacteria and fungi in hydroponic solutions have been studied. However, some methods gave low efficiency, others gave high efficiency but it caused secondary environmental pollution. Electrochemical activated solution (EAS), produced from dilute sodium chloride (NaCl) solution, has been wide known as a super disinfectant solution with high ability to kill most bacteria and fungi and is safe for humans. In this study we were forced on determine the ability to control pathogens in hydroponic solution of EAS, the effects of EAS on hydroponic solution properties and the growth of Brassica juncea in the mixed of EAS – hydroponic solution. Difference volume of EAS were added into hydroponic solutions and mixed for 30, 45, 60, 120 or 180 min. The most effective mixed solution (mixed ratio and time) was selected to apply to cultivate Brassica juncea. The results show that EAS has the ability to control pathogens in hydroponic solution very effectively, replacing other harmful chemicals. When increasing the volume EAS added (higher ACC of mixed solution) or the exposure time the TDS and ORP index of hydroponic solution were raised slightly while pH value was slightly dropped and the total coliform counts decreased significantly. The total coliform counts of mixed solutions reduced over the exposed time. However, the increasing rate of killing ability of EAS was decreased (along with ACC of solutions). Meanwhile, there was no obvious change in the nitrate concentration. The most effective mixed ratio EAS: hydroponic solution and exposure time for pathogens control were 2.5:500 with 30 min or 1.5:500 with 90 min. The mixed ratio of 1.5:500 with 90 min of exposure time were recommended because of its lesser changes on the properties of hydroponic solution. The mixed EAS - hydroponic solution did no negative effect to the growth of Brassica juncea in comparison with original hydroponic solution.","PeriodicalId":23553,"journal":{"name":"Vietnam Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84451759","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 new hardware architecture is suitable for directly integrating with digital cameras for image processing. The processing of images therefore is at very high speed. Our method can also be applied to data compression in big data analytics. Our structure can provide a large fabrication tolerance which is compatible with the CMOS existing technology.

The N2 adsorption/desorption results showed that the post-gasification residue was much more porous compared to the post-pyrolysis residue. The CO2 adsorption experiments were carried out in laboratory conditions (100 % CO2, 25 °C) and flue gas conditions (15 % CO2, 40 °C). The bagasse residue achieved a high and stable CO2 adsorption value at 2.3 mmol/g, 2.5 times more than that of macadamia nut shells residue.
