Abstract.

CdSe/CdS quantum dots (QDs) were seeded into Jurkat cells using Polyethylene glycol

(PEG-1500) at different treatment times. Fluorescence microscopy images show that some

QDs stick to the surface of the cells while others appeared to be inside the cells. As it is

difficult to ascertain whether the QDs are indeed inside the cells or just behind the cells,

additional spectroscopic studies were performed. Photoluminescence spectra show that the

fluorescence intensities of the CdSe QDs are different between samples seeded at different

treatment times. Interestingly, the fluorescence lifetimes are also different. This confirms

the interaction between the CdSe QDs and the intra-cellular media and that the QDs were

successfully seeded into the cells.

FEMTOSECOND LASER INDUCED PERIODIC SURFACE

STRUCTURES ON POLYIMIDE

Faculty of Engineering, Multimedia University, Cyberjaya 63100, Selangor, Malaysia

Abstract.

Femtosecond laser interactions with materials differ from that using a nanosecond laser

because of the generation of a high local electric field and the absence of lattice heating

effects. These can contribute to the formation of nano-surface patterns (or ripples) after

irradiation with multiple femtosecond-laser pulses, which have been observed for polymer,

semiconductor and metal. These nano-surface patterns are often called laser-induced

periodic surface structures, or LIPSS. In this work, laser-induced periodic surface

structures are formed after irradiated repeatedly by 500-fs laser pulses on the polyimide

film. The spatial periods of the nano-scale ripples are compared with those formed by

shorter laser pulses and wavelength at 514 nm. Similarly, the orientation of the ripples are

found to depend on the polarization angle of the laser beam, and 2-dimensional arrays of

pyramidal pits are obtained.

Abstract.

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is a quantum interference effect that leads

to reduction of resonant absorption and steeper dispersive for a probe light field [1].

Therefore, the discovery of EIT effect has opened up an excellent solution to control and

slow down the group velocity of light [2].

It is now well known that another kind of quantum interference of spontaneously emission

in the atomic systems with near-degenerate levels occurs due to the non-orthogonality of

dipole matrix elements induced by coherent fields. Such interference can create an

additional atomic coherence, usually called spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) [3].

In the presence of SGC and phase can modify greatly absorption and dispersion of EIT

medium [3, 4] that leads to significant change of group velocity of light [4, 5].

Up to date, influences of SGC and phase on group velocity of light have studied by

numerical method, but there still lack of analytical representation of the group velocity

expression. A precise knowledge of the group velocity expression as a function of the

controllable parameters is needed to optimize the control of group velocity.

In this paper, we will derive the expressions for group velocity of light in three-level

cascade atomic medium in the presence of SGC and relative phase between the probe and

coupling fields. The influences of SGC and relative phase on the absorption, dispersion

and the group velocity of light are studied.

Abstract.

In this paper, we consider the influence of the raman scattering and higher order dispersion

effects on supercontinuum (SC) generation in microstructure fibers by studying the

temporal and frequency dependence of the ejected pulse. By solving the higher-order

nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we show that the Raman scattering effect can lead to the

breakup of higher-order solitons through the phenomenon of soliton fission. This effect

plays an essential role in several nonlinear phenomena, in particular in the so-called

supercontinuum generation in optical fibers. Moreover, we can use third order dispersion

to compress pulses as well as changing the frequency.

Abstract.

A series of catalysts withvarying nickel contents supported on Santa Barbara Amorphous

(SBA-15) synthesized by the combination method of sol–gel and hydrothermal were

prepared by the impregnation method and treated at various conditons of calcination in air

and activation in H2 steam. The physico-chemical catalysts were also characterized using

BET nitrogen adsorption, XRD, SEM, TEM and H2-TPR. The activity of obtained

catalysts was investigated in hydrogenation of CO2 recognized as undesirable greenhouse

gas to CH4 fuel gas in temperatures range of 225 400 oC. The obtained results showed

that the function of SBA-15 provided a high dispersity of NiO particles due to their

stabilization within the channels of the mesoporous silicate network, and the catalysts

having nanoparticle size with high surface area (172.6 214.7 m2.g

-1) and large pore

volume (0.24 0.31 m2.g

-1) performed highly activity. Among nickel catalysts, the sapmle

50 wt.% NiO/SBA-15 calcined at 600 oC for 4 hour activated in H2 steam of 50 ml.min

-1 at

450 oC for 4 hours was the best one. With optimum CO2/H2 ratio (1/4) on this catalyst,

CO2 conversion and CH4 selectivity reached 100% at reaction temperature of 400 oC.

Abstract.

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is a quantum interference effect that

makes a resonance medium become transparent and steeper dispersive for a probe light

field under induction of other strong coupling light field. The effect was first observed in

1991 [1]. Since then, EIT has attracted a tremendous interest over the last years due to its

unusual properties and promising potential applications. One of the most promising

applications concerning to EIT is slow-light group velocity [2].

In the beginning of studies on this topic, three-level configurations were the main objects

giving a narrow spectral in which group-velocity is controlled to slow-down or speed-up.

From practical perspective, extension from single to multi-window EIT is currently of

interest due to it gains diversifying usefulness. An example is to simultaneously support

slow group velocity for pulses at different frequencies [3-5] in which light fields has

advantage in production of quantum entanglement.

So far, studies on control of group velocity of light in multi-window EIT media have often

neglected the Doppler effect [3-5]. However, it is fact that photonic devices often operate

at different temperature conditions, so one needs to take into account the influence of

Doppler broadening. In recent work [6] we have derived analytical expressions of the

absorption and dispersion spectra of the five-level atomic system under Doppler

broadening. The results show that the height and slope of dispersion curve strongly depend

on the temperature of medium. Growing of this interest, in this work, we study extensively

the group velocity of light in the Doppler broaden five-level atomic medium by using

analytical method. It is shown that the group velocity of light can be controlled with the

parameters of laser fields and temperature of medium.

Abstract.

Optical bistability (OB) is one of the most interesting fields of research in nonlinear optics

because it has a large number of potential applications in both optical sciences and

photonics technology. In the early year of the OB research for atomic media, a great

interest was focused on using two-level atomic systems [1]. Although the usual OB

behaviors of the two-level atomic system were observed experimentally but there is still

lack of applications due to only one optical field being employed for both applying and

switching, thus lack of control for switching intensity thresholds.

The advent of electromagnetically induced transparency - EIT [2] provides excellent media

that make an impressive progress in OB research because of their controllable optical

properties [3]. Due to such controllable optical properties, both switching intensity

thresholds and width of OB can be simply controlled and reduced significantly [4].

Besides the OB behaviors in EIT media can be controlled by either intensity or frequency

of applied fields, due to the laser field is also characterized by other important parameters

as phase and polarization (may create spontaneously generated coherence - SGC),

therefore, they also have a significant influence on the OB behaviors. Recent studies [5, 6]

show that the OB behaviors are very sensitive to phase and polarization.

Although, the influences of SGC and phase on OB behaviors have studied by numerical

method, but there still lack of analytical representation of the input-out intensity relation.

Such shortage has hampered implementation of further studies related to OB behaviors,

e.g., controlling threshold intensity and width of OB.

In this work, we develop a analytical method on the bistability behavior of three-level

atomic systems in the SGC and relative phase. The influences of controllable parameters of

the coupling light, cooperation of atomic medium and SGC and relative phase on OB

behaviors are investigated.

Abtract.

Recently, considering the effects of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in nonlinear

symtems have attracted much interest of scientists [1-8]. In optics, the SSB occurs as a

result of the interplay between the nonlinearity and waveguiding structures, when the

strong nonlinearity partly suppresses the linear coupling between parallel guiding cores,

example in self-focusing Kerr medium [1]. The onset of a sharp symmetry-breaking

instability in a double-hump two component spatial optical soliton was demonstrated

experimentally in a planar nonlinear waveguide [2]. The analysis of the SSB for soliton

modes was performed in models of dual-core fiber Bragg gratings with the Kerr

nonlinearity [3], and coupled waveguides with the quadratic [4] and cubic-quintic [5]

nonlinear terms. However, to the best of our knowledge, SSB phenomena in nonlinear

double-wells optical system have not been complete studied yet

In this work, we propose a double-channel model, in each channel include a nonlinear

single-well potential (alias a single-well pseudopotential) and linear coupling between two

channels, with the objective to study an alternative implementation of the spontaneous

symmetry breaking (SSB) in nonlinear dual-cores optical fibers.

In the limit case when the nonlinear single-well potential structure is induced by the local

nonlinearity coefficient represented by a single delta functions, a fully analytical solution is

obtained for symmetric, antisymmetric, and asymmetric states. Numerical analysis, based

on both direct simulations and computation of stability eigenvalues, demonstrates that,

while the symmetric states are stable up to the SSB bifurcation point, both symmetric and

emerging asymmetric states, as well as all antisymmetric ones, are unstable in the model

with the delta functions. In this solvable model, the SSB bifurcation has a fully subcritical

character. In the general model with a finite width of the nonlinear-potential wells, based

on Imaginary-Time Method (ITM), and computation of stability eigenvalues show that, the

asymmetric states quickly become stable, the SSB bifurcation is also the subcritical type. A

full diagram for the existence and stability of the trapped states in the model is produced.

Abstract.

Developping nanodevices able to probe materials at the nanoscale and to act on them is of

critical importance to understand complex and multiscale systems such as heterogeneous

fluids or living cells, the very local properties of such systems differing from the

macroscopic ones.

Here, we propose to use gold semi-coated magnetic nanoparticles, called gold

nanocrescents, both to access the local properties of such complex systems and to perturb

them at the nanoscale. These particles are produced by nanosphere lithography,

evaporating a 30 nm thick layer of gold on magnetic 160 nm nanospheres.

These gold nanoparticles possess a strong plasmon resonance which gives them a strong

scattering crosssection. They can thus be easily tracked using darkeld microscopy.

Moreover, their asymmetrical shape induces a splitting of the plasmon resonance. This

optical anisotropy allows one to follow their rotational dynamics. From the autocorrelation

of the scattered intensity signal one can access the nanoscrescent rotational diffusion time.

Hence, from both, the translational and rotational Brownian diffusions of the nanocrescents

it is possible to probe the local nanorheology of a material.

Moreover, these nanoparticles can also serve as active nanosensors. Due to their magnetic

properties,they can be submitted to an external force via an applied magnetic gradient.

Besides, using an incident laser at the wavelength of the plasmon resonance, the

nanocrescents can be heated. The environment can thus be perturbed locally in a tunable

and remote way, the same nano-object being simultaneously a nano-source and a nano-

probe.

We will present results showing that this technique is very promising for performing active

nanorheology on complex materials and in particular on living systems such as

intracellular compartments.

Abstract.

The lateral load bearing capacity of pile is an attractive issue not only in road and bridge

construction field but also in industry one. Some first studies are proposed by Broms B.

B.(1964) [1], Matlock H.(1970), Reese L. C.(1974), etc… to determine the ultimate lateral

load bearing capacity and they are favorite for tentative estimation of the lateral load

bearing capacity of single pile with many prior assumptions. These results need to be

developed for varies cases in which the prior assumptions may not satisfy such as the

aquifer is complicated to stratum. Recent decades, base on the expanse of computer

science, some numerical methods, such as finite difference method, were proposed and

studied with the aptness of soil-pile interaction [2]. This interaction is major factor to

distribution of shear load and moment load of longitudinal pile, called P-y curves. Finite

difference method is implemented [3] in this paper to determine the lateral load bearing

capacity of a pile in conjunction with soil and pile interaction. The calculated results are

then compared with the results from widely used FB-Pier program. Finally, comments and

recommendations are given for lateral load bearing capacity determination in engineering

practices and current standards for example 22TCN 272-05, ASSHTO.

Abstract.

Magnetic exploration is one of the important geophysical methods for identifying deep

geological structures. In this article, we determined faults in the Mekong delta (interior of

Southern Vietnam) based on the magnetic data. The magnetic map of the study area was

first corrected by the application of the Reduction To the magnetic pole (for low latitude

area). Among the different processing techniques that can be applied to the magnetic data,

we chose to use the total horizontal derivative, the tilt-angle and the analytical signal,

which aim at locating and delineating the faults. The results verified the faults mentioned

before and determined new faults (if any).

Abstract.

Multichannel analysis of surface wave (MASW) is one of novel seismic methods in

geophysics. MASW is used to survey the stiffness of the soil though shear velocity (VS) by

analyzing the spectral image of surface wave. We have conducted the 1D data using

MASW at one borehole on area, which belongs to the residential development project,

district 2, Ho Chi Minh City with different orientations and offsets of source Then we

combined seismic data to maximize the robustness of data analysis including minimize

adverse influence from the near-field effects and average the lateral variation of the

subsurface velocity model. From the obtained data, we carried out the geophysics inversion

problem to define the shear velocity (VS) of the soil under the ground. The achieved results

were compatible to petrographic components in geological borehole and another seismic

method (downhole). Comparing to VS values of downhole following every meter depth,

the relative error of interpretation of combined data is less than or equal to 10%.

Keywords: MASW, shear velocity, downhole.

Abstract.

We conducted the survey on the constructive foundation to define velocities, elastic

parameters and resistivity of soil by the combination of Multichannel Analysis of Surface

Wave (MASW) as one of seismic methods and Electric Imaging method. The obtained

results of two methods were displayed in 2D profiles (along survey line and depth) and

exhibited good agreement about the structure of geology under the ground. The soil

structures from the surface to 20 m depth could be divided in to three layers: fine sand, soft

dark-gray organic silty clay and stiff green-gray lean clay. Every layer with diverse

velocities and resistivity showed the difference of petrographic component, elastic

properties and electrical impedance of the soil under the ground. In addition, the results

from MASW and Electric Imaging were consistent with those of borehole‟s petrographic

component at the same area of collected data.

Abstract.

Uphill diffusion and diffusion barrier are interesting diffusion processes. The diffusing flux

of the uphill diffusion goes to a higher concentration area and the diffusing flux of

diffusion barrier does not vanish although concentration gradient equals to zero. Most of

the uphill diffusion and diffusion barrier takes place in multicomponent systems and their

cause are the diffusion flux of any species is coupled with that of its partner species. In this

paper, based on the kinetic theory of gasses and thermodynamics the uphill diffusion and

diffusion barrier in single component systems (single uphill diffusion and single diffusion

barrier) are studied and discussed. Results showed that: i) The uphill and osmotic diffusion

can take place for only one component systems; ii) the cause of single uphill and osmotic

diffusion is thermal velocity of molecules in low concentration region is larger than that in

high concentration region; iii) The single uphill diffusion and the single diffusion barrier

opposite to Fick‟s laws, but which agree with the increasing entropy principle of the

thermodynamics theory.

Abstract.

Sing uphill diffusion has been demonstrated by the kinetic theory of gasses and the

thermodynamics theory. Uphill diffusion is a process of mass transmission in which the

diffusion flux goes up to high concentration region and the mass flux of osmotic diffusion

is not vanishing, when concentration gradient is equal to zero. Most of the uphill and

osmotic diffusion takes place in multicomponent systems and the cause of uphill diffusion

is the diffusion flux of any species is coupled with that of its partner species. In this paper,

the uphill diffusion in single component systems is studied by experiment for glycerol in

water. Results showed that: i) The uphill diffusion can occur in single component systems;

ii) the cause of single uphill and osmotic diffusion is thermal velocity of molecules in low

concentration region is greater than that in high concentration region; iii) the experimental

results agree with the theory.

Abstract.

Nanoparticles of noble metal such as gold, silver, palladium… have been immense

attention due to the wide range of new applications in various fields of industry. Specially,

silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have significant interested in medical application, chemical-

biosensor, and industry application because of their unique properties such as size and

shape depending optical, antimicrobial, and electrical properties. There are many of

preparation techniques for the synthesis of AgNPs such as laser ablation, gamma

irradiation, electron irradiation, chemical reduction, photochemical methods, microwave

processing, and biological synthetic methods. In this paper, photochemical methods have

been realized for the synthesis of AgNPs, the advantages of this method are that they have

excellent spatial and temporal control, avoid the use of harmful strong reducing agents and

are frequently room temperature procedures. The size and shape of AgNPs have been

controlled through irradiating a solution of AgNP seeds in the synthesis processing. The

achieved triangle-plates AgNPs with particle size 10nm÷80nm corresponding to LED

irradiation 520 nm with exposed time 5 hours÷24 hours. Optical properties of AgNPs are

drastically influenced by their size and shape. Shifted-localized surface Plasmon resonance

absorption peak of AgNPs from 412 nm to 1090 nm was achieved. The outcomes of this

study may provide leads to study of localized surface Plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based

optical sensor systems with immobilized AgNPs on optical fibers.

ISOLATION STUDY OF THE GmNFYB GENE INVOLVED IN

DROUGHT – STRESSED RESPONSES

Nguyen Thi Thu Nga, Nguyen Thi Tuyet

Faculty of Biology, TNU - University of Education, Thai Nguyen city,

20 Luong Ngoc Quyen Street, Thai Nguyen City, Vietnam

Abstract.

Improved productivity under periodic drought stress is a major challenge for global

agriculture. Increasing the yield of agricultural crops grown under drought conditions is

challenging because of the low heritability of the trait, the unpredictable nature of most

periods of drought stress encountered in growing areas, and gaps in our understanding of

drought biology. As a consequence, new approaches were sought for improving the

performance of crops grown under periodic drought conditions.

Because there are many mechanisms by which plants can tolerate drought, and because

transcription factors are well established as regulators of genetic pathways, we reasoned

that additional transcription factors would exist that modulate drought responses. A

genome-wide systematic analysis of Arabidopsis transcription factor families was

conducted to identify genes that improve tolerance to environmental stress. A selection of

transcription factors was discovered from a range of families that condition enhanced

abiotic stress tolerance when constitutively expressed in plant.

Nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is an evolutionarily conserved trimeric transcription factor

complex present in nearly all eukaryotes. The heterotrimeric NF-Y complex consists of

three subunits, NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC, and binds to the CCAAT box in the promoter

regions of its target genes to regulate their expression.

NF-Y transcription factors typically act in concert with other regulatory factors to

modulate gene expression in a highly controlled manner. In plants, NF-Y genes have been

amplified with ≈10 different genes encoding each subunit of the transcription factor

complex. Amplification of the family raises the possibility that new and divergent

functions of heterotrimeric complexes have evolved in plants.

We identified an NF-YB gene from Glycine max responsive to plant responses to drought

tolerance. GmNF-YB gene was successfully isolated from mRNA by RT-PCR reaction

with specific GmNF-YB-F/GmNF-YB-R primers. The isolated 529 nucleotide fragment,

coding 169 amino acid. The nucleotide sequence of the GmNF-YB gene (DT2008) is

similar to the nucleotide sequence coded at XM00356285 of 99.1% on the gene bank.

These results can be used for further studies on drought tolerance in plants.

Abstract.

Advancements in biomedical signal processing techniques have led Electroence--

phalography (EEG) signal is widely used to analyze neural activity within the human brain

for detection of any abnormalities. Since the EEG signal is dynamic by nature and changes

constantly a highly sensitive yet robust system is required to monitor the activities.

EEG is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain.

It is typically noninvasive, with the electrodes placed in different positions on the scalp

corresponding to the region of the cortex on the computer graph [1, 2]. Regarding to

different areas of the brain, the human brain is divided into 3 parts e.g. cerebrum,

cerebellum and brain stem. The cerebrum is the largest and upper most portion of the

brain. The cerebellum controls coordination of muscle activity and maintains balance. The

brain controls the function alities of the heart, the lungs, production of hormones and the

thoughts [1, 3]. All our thoughts, emotions and behaviors are the communications between

masses of neurons within our brains leading to a production of brainwaves by

synchronized electrical pulses. Specific, neurons in the brain communicate through

electrical impulses that give rise to both electrical and magnetic fields which are

categorized into five different band limits. These waves can be measured outside the skull

through an EEG. Thus, by placing the brain-wave sensors on the scalp, we are able to

acquire the brain signals. These signals reflect differences of actions and the mental status

of a person. Therefore, the brain wave signals have been applied widely in diagnosis and

monitoring in health care and multiple applications in different fields. In this research aims

to use Emotiv EPOC+ to collect the EEG signals in order to analyze and determine the

characteristics of people's status as "closed-eyes", "opened-eyes" and "funny" by two

different methodologies e.g. the Digital Filters (DF) and the Discrete Wavelet Transform

(DWT). The results have identified states such as "closed-eyes", "opened-eyes" and

"funny" on both methods. Furthermore, this research concluded that the DF method is

more effective than the DWT method.

Abstract.

Perovskite solar cells (PSC) have attracted enormous attention due to the rapid growth of

efficiency to 22.1 % in recent years. Here we report the solution processed approach for

lead-free molecular iodosalt compounds to fabricate cesium tin iodide perovskite thin

films. The impact of the concentration of SnF2 additive on the crystalline structure,

morphology and properties of cesium tin iodide perovskite was investigated. The phase

transformation of the pure - CsSnI3 perovskite and SnF2 additive - CsSnI3 perovskite

materials to more stable Cs2SnI6 perovskite under ambient condition were observed. The

absorbance and photoluminescence spectra exhibit the bandgap of semiconducting cesium

tin iodide perovskites. The electrical properties of the perovskite films were measured by a

Hall Effect system. These optoelectronic properties demonstrate that cesium tin iodide

perovskites with high hole mobility can be used as a hole transporter for solid state solar

cell applications.

Abstract.

Petroleum contamination poses significant health risks to humans, organisms and

environment. Many industrial processing such as oil refining, oil storage, transportation,

washing ... are making a big quantity oil contaminated wastewater in the world. Nowadays,

application of microbial biofilm to the removal of oil and its derivatives from contaminated

water and sediment was demonstrated to have good effective and friendly with ecosystem.

Microbial biofilms are defined as complex coherent structure of microorganism biomass

and cellular products, which are attached on a solid surface or an interface. In biofilm

structure, microorganisms increase their ability to grow and survive in changing

environmental conditions and increase their access to absorb substrates or nutrients. This

study focused on the degradation of hydrocarbon components contaminated in oil polluted

waste water by biofilm formed by a mixture of bacterial and yeast strains isolated from oil

contaminated water in Viet Nam attached on coconut fiber carriers in 2000 liter-system. As

the results, biofilm attached on coconut fiber could degrade 62% after 5 days and 99,9%

after 7 days of the total amount of oil with the initial concentration of 31.950 mg/l. Phenol

and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) also were degraded up to 99,9% phenol and

more than 94,8% PAHs in oily wastewater. After 7 days biological treatment, microbial

biofilm could remove 98,9% BOD5, 98,7% COD, 94,2% total nitrogen and 94,1% total

phosphore in oil polluted wastewater. This result gave hint to develop new method to treat

petroleum oil contaminated water in Vietnam.

Abstract.

“Yellow alder” (Turnera ulmifolia L.) is well- known for a popular medical plant in the

Americas with the uses to enhance reproductive health, treat premature ejaculation and

impotence in men. Arbutin in it has an effect on whitening our skin naturally due to the

ability to inhibit enzymes, which produce melanin without harm side- effects, prevent anti-

aging and free radicals, tighten and smoothen skin. The extracted solution from leaves

stimulates the activity of antioxidant enzymes (glutathione peroxidase, superoxide

dismutase and catalase). This paper presents the results of studying on sterilizing plant

materials and effects of cytokinin and 2,4-D on shoot formation of T.ulmifolia from

Americas in order to find a multiplication process to develop this plant in Vietnam.

The suitable formula for rapid shoot organogenesis from segments of the trunk is the basal

MS medium supplemented with 3% sucrose, 0.8% agar, 1% activated carbon and 1,0 mg/l

BAP (1.46 shoots/material). The suitable medium for callus formation in trunk is the basal

MS medium supplemented with 1,0 mg/l 2,4- D. The basal MS medium supplemented with

2,0 mg/l BAP is good for shoot formation from callus (3,031 shoots/material).

Abstract.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most planted crops world-wide and is also one of key

cereal sources for human food and animal feed. However, maize and other crops have

faced increasing drought recently. This situation requires many researchs in genes related

in plant drought tolerance through biotechnology. The AP2/ERF family is a large family of

plant specific transcription factors that induce abiotic stress-responsive genes. Among

subfamilies of AP2/ERF, many stress-inducible DREB subfamily members have been

isolated and characterised in several studies about transgenic drought tolerant crops. With

the completion of the sequencing of the maize B73 genome, a genome-wide analysis of

maize DREB genes was made and reported that different ZmDREB genes exhibited

variable expression levels in different tissue and developmental stages, as well as in

respone to dehydrated stress. Previous study have shown that ZmDREB2.7 was a potential

transcription factor that exhibited high transactivation activity, improved drought stress

tolerance in transgenic plants without effected plant growth and development. Therefore,

we isolated ZmDREB2.7 gene from local maize variety - Te vang 1, which has good

drought tolerance. Then, ZmDREB2.7 gene was inserted into plant expression vector

driven by inducible RD29A promoter and introduced into tobacco Nicotiana tabacum

K326 by leaf disc transformation. By using PCR for 15 random transgenic plants, we

obtained 10 plants carrying ZmDREB2.7 transgene and 4 out of these had ZmDREB2.7

transcripts as a result of RT-PCR. This result showed that the vector containing

ZmDREB2.7 genefunctioned in the model plantand can be used to transfer into other crops

in order to improve dought resistance using plant transformation.

Abstract.

The genes related to drought tolerance of soybean plants are divided into two groups,

regulatory genes, such as genes encoding transcription factors DREBs, NACs....and

functional genes, such as related expansin genes to the development of roots, P5CS gene

involved in synthesizing prolin… Expansin 1 (EXP1) has the ability to loosen plant cell

walls and root elongation, thus EXP1 plays an important role in the development and

growth of soybean root system. When soybean plants are impacted by prolonged drought,

they will response positively to drought stress by overexpression of EXP1 protein, thus

drought tolerance of soybean plants will be enhanced. In this work, we present results of

transformation and overexpression of GmEXP1 gene in soybean plants. The results showed

that the pCB301_GmEXP1 vector was transformed into soybean via A. tumefaciens, and

then there were nine transgenic soybean plants which survived in the greenhouse from 380

transformed leaf explants. Among nine transgenic soybean plants in generation T0, two

transgenic soybean plants were positive to PCR and one transgenic line, DT04, expresses

EXP1 recombinant protein. We will further evaluate drought-tolerance ability of DT04

transgenic soybean line through analyzing the development of the roots of transgenic

soybean plants compared with non-transgenic control plants.

Keywods:Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, expansin 1, GmEXP1 gene, loosen cell

wall, root elongation, transgenic soybean.

Abstract.

Paris species which has been included in the Pharmacopoeia is famous for its medicinal

value. There are eight Paris species found in many provinces of Vietnam such as Laocai,

Hagiang, Ninhbinh, Thainguyen, Langson, Hoabinh, Thanhhoa... The status of these

species has been at the R (race) level and inaccurate identification of these species could

lead to confound their effective conservation. Therefore, study on identification of Paris

species in Vietnam to contribute to preservation and development of the genetic resources

for Paris plants in Vietnam. In this work, we present the results of identification of Paris

samples collected in Sapa, Laocai province and Puluong, Thanhhoa province, Viet Nam.

On morphology, the Paris samples have from 4 to 6 leaves per each tree, so it is difficult to

distinguish and identify species of Paris samples. However, application of DNA barcodes

using ITS region and matK gene have identified Paris samples from Sapa, Laocai province

and Puluong, Thanhhoa province the same species as Paris vietnamesis.

Abstract.

Endophytic actinobacteria in medicinal plants have proved as a natural source of valuable

bioactive compounds that can be applied in medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural and other

industries. Nevertheless, the characterization and diversity of endophytic actinobacteria

associated with medicinal plants in Vietnam is little known. This study aimed to evaluate

the diversity and the potential to synthesize bioactive compounds of endophytic

actinobacteria isolated from Cinnamomum cassia Presl in Laichau, Vietnam. A total of 69

endophytic actinobacteria were obtained in which isolates were most frequently recovered

from roots (35, 50.7%), followed by stems (21, 30.4%) and leaves (13, 18.84%). Fourteen

out of 69 isolates were evaluated for antimicrobial activity and all of them showed

inhibitory activity against to at least one of the 9 tested human pathogens. By analyzing

16S rRNA gene sequencing, these isolates belonged to genera Streptomyces,

Micromonospora, Microbacteriumand Saccharothrix. The amplification of biosynthetic

genes revealed polyketide synthases type I and type II (14.3% and 92.9%, respectively),

and nonribosomal peptide synthetases (64.3%). Our results indicate that these isolates have

a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and highlight the capacity of endophytic

actinobacteria in Vietnamese medicinal plants with novel antimicrobial compounds.

Abstract.

Canna edulis Ker of the family Cannaceae is grown in all parts of Vietnam, especially in

the northern limestone mountains such as Hà Giang, Cao Bằng, Bắc Kan, Thái Nguyên and

L ng Sơn. According to Hoang Sam et al. [1], Canna edulis Ker has been used in

supporting the treatment of heart failure, hypertension, and myocardial ischemia. However,

the main bioactive molecules and the mechanism of action of this plant remain unclear.

The study aims to investigate the in vitro anti-platelet aggregation activity of different

fractions of Canna edulis Ker.

Plant samples were dried and macerated 3 times with ethanol 95o at room temperature. The

crude extract was then continuously distributed with increasing polarity solvents in order to

obtain 4 different fractions including n-hexane (HX), dichloromethane (DM), ethyl acetate

(EA) and water (WT). The in vitro ADP-induced anti-platelet aggregation activity of more

polar fractions including EA and WTextracts at 2, 4 and 8 mg/ml in DMSO was studied.

Platelet aggregation was evaluated using the turbidity measurement based on the Chrono-

log Corporation process [2]. The study was conducted on platelets harvested fromhealthy

volunteers, after obtaining written informed consent.

The results showed that the EA extract of plant leaves expressed the strongest anti-platelet

activity with the percentage of ADP-induced platelet aggregation of 37%, 4% and 1% at a

dose of 2, 4 and 8 mg/ml, respectively. The EA extract of Canna edulis Ker‟s roots

exhibited lower effect with 64%, 49% and 16% of platelet aggregation at the concentration

of 2, 4 and 8 mg/ml, respectively. Unfortunately, WT extracts of both leaves and roots

showed very poor effect against platelet aggregation.

EA extracts of leaves and roots of Canna edulis Ker could be beneficial and used for

preventing cardiovascular diseases. Further studies on chemical constituents isolated from

this plant might contribute to the development of new agents inhibiting platelet aggregation

in the treatment of thrombosis.

Abstract.

Phenol is one of the most aromatic toxic compounds, which means that it constitutes a

threat when released to the environment. Phenol is highly toxic even at low concentration

and is considered as one of the most dangerous contaminants in nature. Exposure to phenol

may affect mucous membrane, respiratory tract or leads to disorder of central nervous

system, and myocardial depression. Due to its high toxicity and harmful effect that phenol

causes to human and environment, it is important to find an effective way in which phenol

is safely removed from the environment. Among methods to remove phenol,

biodegradation by using biofilm formed by microorganisms is considered as low cost, high

effective and friendly to environmental approach. Recently, there are a number of

publications on forming biofilm organisms. However, there are rare of papers concerning

to purple photosynthetic bacteria (PPB) which have high capacity of biofilm formation and

phenol degradation in Vietnam. It is published that biofilm forming PPB have higher

effective ability of phenol removal than other microorganisms especial in anaerobic

condition. This report was described on the first results of 8 PPB strains which could well

form biofilm and grow on phenol. As the results, the strain LCM1 degraded 92.2% phenol

with the initial concentration of 250 ppm; the strains MI1 and DG12 degraded 93.2 and

93.4% phenol with the initial concentration of 150 ppm after 7 days, respectively. These

results may give a new insight into the potential role of biofilms formed by such PPB

species in the bioremediation of phenol and other recalcitrant aromatic compounds.

Abstract.

Groundwater is dramatically polluted by ammonium (NH4+) in recent years, especially in

Red river delta area, in terms of both scale and degree. In southern of Hanoi, Ha Nam and

Nam Dinh district, the pollution of ammonium is relatively high level. There are many

ammonium treating methods, such as: chlorination, ion exchange, aerating and microbial…

According to aforementioned methods, microbial is proved to be one of the best methods

with ecofriendly, economical and treatment efficiency. This article targets on researching

the separating capacity of ammonium using microbial technique with polyurethane derived

carrier. In order to determine the ammonium treating efficiency, there are several factors,

such as: carrier size and dimension, the volume of carrier, ammonium concentration…

which impact to nitrification rate by 02 techniques: moving and fixed bed microbial film.

The results indicated that with moving bed microbial film technique, the best size and

dimension of carrier is 1x1x1 cm cubic, the content of carrier is of 20% in volume.

However, fixed bed microbial film technique is favored by the 2x2x2 cm cubic carrier, the

content of 50% in volume.

Abstract.

Reduced graphene oxide/TiO2 (rGO/TiO2) materials were synthesized by photocatalytic

experiments of colloidal mixtures of TiO2 and graphene oxide (GO) under ultraviolet (UV,

9W) irradiation. Solvents played an important role in the reduction mechanism of GO

assisted by shining UV light with TiO2 as a photocatalyst reagent1. The work investigated

influence of different solvents e.g. water, ethanol and propanol-2, on the reduction of GO

as a function of irradiation time. Structures and morphologies of the products were then

characterized by XRD; Raman spectroscopy; SEM and TEM. The reduction of GO was

followed carefully by semi-quantitative infrared spectroscopy and electrical conductivity.

Results showed that the reduction of GO was carried out more efficiently in alcohol

solvents than in water. This can be explained by the formation of solvent radicals and

electrons irradiated TiO2.

Abstract.

Cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine, is used as an appropriate biological marker for

secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure because of its stability, sensitivity and specificity. Its

detection in human biological fluids had been the subject of clinical diagnostic researches

as SHS exposure is implicated as risk factor for numerous diseases. Several

chromatography-based analytical methods have been developed as described in literature,

but disadvantages include their availability, high cost and tedious sample preparation. In

this study, validation was done in the determination of cotinine in human urine via

commercially available competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) since it

allows for rapid, multiple sample analysis and minimal sample preparation. The

mechanism involves competition between cotinine and cotinine enzyme (HRP) conjugate

to bind with the anti-cotinine antibody in the well. Urine samples were collected from 73

children (ages 0 to 14) with varying degrees of SHS exposure. Standard curves generated

were linear in the range of 1 to 100 ng/mL and correlation coefficients (r2) greater than

0.99. Limits of detection (LOD) ranged from 1 to 8.87 ng/mL using 10 µL of urine sample.

Majority (53.4%) of the children had concentrations below 10 ng/mL. Cotinine

concentrations tend to increase with the number of smokers in the household with a

Spearman correlation of 0.23 (p=0.0482). Children with no household smokers had mean

concentrations of 12.8 ng/mL (± 16.2) while those with 3-5 smokers had mean

concentrations of 38.1 ng/mL (± 56.2). Results suggest the validity of urine cotinine as

biomarker for measuring SHS exposure and ELISA as a quantitative method.

Abstract.

Collagenases of Clostridium sp. plays an essential role for invasion step on animal and

human and used in a variety of industrial processes to create industrial applications as

cosmetic, medicine, food and detergent. In this study, we report characterization of

recombinant collagenase from Lysinibacillus sphaericus VN3 that can digested skin and

tendon of bovine to produce soluble collagen type I and II. There are many types of

research described strains of L. sphaericus as insect pathogen and without harmful to

humans and animals. Recently, we determined high collagenase activity from L.

sphaericus VN3. Moreover, completed genome sequences of L. sphaericus C3-41

(NC_010382.1) could identify the existence of collagenase gene. Gene col 3.2 kb encoded

collagenase was amplified, digested and ligated target vector pRFS-Duet1. pRFS::col

transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). 12.5 Purified collagenase (12.5 U/ml) can digest

small species skin and tandem of bovine (0.1 g/ml) into 1-1.2µm collagen fragment after

steering 48 h at 30°C with 0.02 M sodium phosphate buffer pH 7. Sterilized collagen

after one week treatment with collagen wound dressing burn wound scars were 26 and 56

% smaller than the initial wound scars with and without antibiotic, respectively. These

results suggest that recombinant collagenase of L. sphaericus VN3 is a new approach to

produce medical grade collagen biomaterials.

Abstract.

Cordyceps militaris, a medicinal mushroom, is one of the well-known insect fungi that

contain many bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, cordycepin, adenosine, etc.

These compounds show remarkable biological activities, for example, antitumor,

immunomodulating, antioxidant, and pro-sexual agent.

Thus, the aim of this work is to characterize and optimize the biosynthesis of

exopolysaccharides from C. militaris FNA5 strain using submerged fermentation. The

strain FNA5 was isolated in the Pu Mat National Park, Nghe An province. Then, ITS

region of the strain FNA5 was PCR amplified and used as a molecular marker for

identification of fungal species. The output showed that this strain belongs to the genus

Cordyceps militaris. The optimal physical and nutritional conditions for production of

exopolysaccharides were investigated by individually varying one variable at a time. The

suitable physical conditions were determined as follows: pH 6, temperature 25o

C, rate of

inoculum 3% (v/v), inoculum age 84h, incubation time 15 days. The optimal medium

proportion was 3% glucose, 1% peptone, 0.05 % K2HPO4, 0.07 % KH2PO4, and 0.05%

MgSO4.7H2O. At such conditions the maximum yield of exopolysaccharides (EPS) was

achieved as 2031.2 mg/L. These fingdings indicated that newly developed medium could

be used in the industrial production of EPS and other bioactive substances from the FNA5

strain contributing to promote public health in Vietnam.

Abstract.

The occurrence of fish kills and massive algal blooms serves as the reason why the

properties of an oceanographic setting should be monitored. Monitoring can help avoid

these destructive events. On March 10, 2017, the different physical and chemical

oceanographic parameters of Bolinao channel were evaluated using ADCP (Acoustic

Doppler Current Profiler) and CTD (Conductivity, Temperature and Depth). Bolinao

channel is an embayment in the Province of Pangasinan, Philippines at about 250 km north

of Metro Manila and is bounded by Lingayen Gulf in the western side and west Philippine

Sea in the north eastern side [1]. Several transects were made and nine stations were

monitored by deploying CTD. Data from ADCP showed that the current flows towards the

inner part of the channel. Also, the velocity of the surface current was slower compared to

the deeper currents. Data from CTD measurements showed that temperature is around 27.4

to 28.2 0C, salinity is 33.5 to 33.7 PSU, density is 1021.3 to 1021.6 kg/m

3, chlorophyll

concentration is 0.35 to 0.70 mg/m3, dissolved oxygen is 2.9 to 5.7 mg/L. All these values

signify that the Bolinao channel is in good condition to sustain aquatic life and to avoid

algal blooms.

Abstract.

Acacia pulp is a useful and popular material in tropics. It has been widely used for

manufacturing papers. Cellulose with high alpha-cellulose (above 92%) from acacia pulps

is able to be utilized for preparing derivatives of cellulose. Nitrate cellulose (NC), which is

a derivative of cellulose, is applied for lacquers, vanishes, propellants, etc. The synthesis

and quality of NC significantly depend on type of cellulose including its structure. In this

paper, some NCs from acacia cellulose were prepared by nitrating with nitric acid in

presence of sulfuric acid and water. The FTIR spectra and XRD spectra of the NCs were

examined. The technical characteristics of the NCs were determined such as the content of

nitrogen, viscosity in acetone, thermal stability, dissolubility in organic solvents. The

fraction of molecular weight and nitrogen content of the NCs were considered. The results

show that the NCs from acacia cellulose with low content of nitrogen (NC-2) have the

similar characteristics to those of NC from softwood cellulose. However, the NC from

acacia cellulose with high content of nitrogen (NC-1) only reaches 13.22%N as a limited

content of nitrogen. The nitrogen content of this NC is moderately lower than that of NC

from softwood cellulose (13.38%) in the same conditions of reaction. The fraction of

molecular weight focuses on in the range from … to … for NC-1 and in the range from …

to … for NC-2. The fraction of molecular weight and content of nitrogen of this NC are

more diffractive than that of NC from softwood cellulose.

Abstract.

Acacia pulp is a useful and popular material in tropics. It has been widely used for

manufacturing papers. Cellulose with high alpha-cellulose (above 92%) from acacia pulps

is able to be utilized for preparing derivatives of cellulose. Nitrate cellulose (NC), which is

a derivative of cellulose, is applied for lacquers, vanishes, propellants, etc. The synthesis

and quality of NC significantly depend on type of cellulose including its structure. In this

paper, some NCs from acacia cellulose were prepared by nitrating with nitric acid in

presence of sulfuric acid and water. The FTIR spectra and XRD spectra of the NCs were

examined. The technical characteristics of the NCs were determined such as the content of

nitrogen, viscosity in acetone, thermal stability, dissolubility in organic solvents. The

fraction of molecular weight and nitrogen content of the NCs were considered. The results

show that a NC from acacia cellulose with low content of nitrogen (NC-2) have the similar

characteristics to those of NC from softwood cellulose. However, a NC from acacia

cellulose with high content of nitrogen (NC-1) reaches 13.22%N as a limited content of

nitrogen. The nitrogen content of this NC is moderately lower than that of NC from

softwood cellulose (13.38%) in the same conditions of reaction. The fraction of molecular

weight focuses on in the range from 30,000 to 130,000 for NC-1 and in the range from

9,500 to 91,000 for NC-2. The distribution of nitrogen content of those NCs is larger than

that of NCs from softwood cellulose.

Keywords:acacia cellulose, cellulose nitrate, technical characteristics, fraction.

Abstract.

In this review of my research, development of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified

screen-printed carbon electrode for labelless impedimetric biosensor applications is

presented. Through specific examples, we describe the fabrication and surface modification

of AuNPs-modified printed electrodes for sensitive and selective detection of cancer

biomarkers as well as the precise quantification of a small molecule by using

electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method. We have developed a relatively

sensitive quantitative EIS immunosensor for amyloid beta [1]. Three types of amyloid beta

impedimetric immunosensors were fabricated in a step-wise manner in order to understand

the effects that each surface modification chemistry had on detection sensitivity. We found

that immobilization of AuNPs, to improve stability of the recognition element and also

increase the surface area for immobilization, lowered the LOD by both ~ three orders of

magnitude. In the case of aptamer sensor, AuNPs-modified electrode could help to avoid

the effect of steric hindrance and the formation of intermediate states [2]. As we all know

that three main binding states, known as „„charge screening‟‟, „„soft complex‟‟ and „„stable

complex” can form between antigen and their. When aptamers are placed too close

together, they will sterically hinder each other, preventing antigen binding. For molecularly

imprinted polymer (MIP)-based sensor [3], MIP films were composed of compact spheres

when grown on method electrodes, while it was possible to grow more homogenous thin

MIP films on screen-printed carbon electrodes that were functionalized with gold

nanoparticles.

Abstract.

Microfluidic is the science of manipulating and controlling fluid flows, usually in the range

of microliters to picoliters, in networks of channels with dimensions from tens to hundreds

of micrometers. This technology is used in many fields such as engineering, physics,

chemistry, biochemistry and nanotechnology in order to make the miniaturization and

automation systems that improve the precision of experiments, lowering limits of detection

and running multiple analyses simultaneously. In biosensor applications, microfluidic chip

is integrated to the current system to control the fluid flow to introduce reagent solution

into reaction chamber through micro pumps or micro valves. However, the connecting

tubes always contain an amount of consumption solution. This is a limitation of traditional

microfluidic technology combined with bio-sensing system. On the other hand, to improve

analytical performance by reducing the consumption reagents down to few of μL, reducing

the analysis time, increasing reliability and sensitivity made possible by through

automation and integrating multiple processes, such as on chip centrifugal blood separation

and washing of the sensor surface, in a single device. In this work, the centrifugal

microfluidic chip will be designed and manufactured to integrate onto QCM device for

minimization of consumption reagent used in sensor fabrication and to establish the

automation process for artificial bioreceptors MIP immobilization onto working

electrode.The results show that the reagent consumption decreases dramatically from

hundreds of microliters to dozens of microliters. Centrifugal microfluidic chips (it can be

seen in Fig. 1) has unique strong advantage against conventional flow cell and even against

other existing microfluidic devices.

Abstract.

In Fig.1 such normalized transmittance spectra are presented for aluminum Al-grating with

different periods P = 6, 7 and 8 µm. The corresponding (1,0), (1,1) and (2,0)-peaks blue-

shift monotonously versus decreasing P with their particular experimental spectral

positions in the quantitative agreement with the predicted ones, considering the metal-

dielectric (CaF2, IR dielectric constant CaF2 2 [1]), rather than metal-air (IR dielectric

constant air 1), interface of the gratings. The fixed 4-m hole diameter (perimeter,

square) is favorable for increasing amplitudes (contrast) of the (1,1)- and (2,0)-peaks at

increasing P, as the corresponding surface density of hole decreases versus P, decreasing

the surface corrugation.

Abstract.

Cu Lao Dung is located on Hau River, between Tran De and Dinh An estuaries. The

deposition process in Cu Lao Dung is influenced by sedimentation source and sediment

transport from the two estuaries. In the period 1955-2000, Cu Lao Dung show an increase

trend of 70-80m per year. Presently, deposition process decreases in speed and scale, and

occures at the two ends of the island, which leads to a formation of a large muddy flat at

ebb tide. The modelling results show that sediment transport process changes by season,

sediment concentration is leagest in flood season. The benthic terrain deposition and

erosion process depend on season, the deposition process is dominant. Sediment from Dinh

An estuary causes deposition at the northeastern head and sediment from Tran De estuary

cause deposition at the southwest head of Cu Lao Dung.

Abstract.

We study a model with two nonlinear oscillators which have different frequencies and

interact with each other by a nonlinear interaction. In order to excite the system, we use

two external fields. It follows from numerical simulation that evolution of the system is

similar to that of a combination of n-photon states. Therefore, the considered system

behaves as so-called nonlinear quantum scissor [1-3]. Nevertheless, evolution of the

system generates Bell-like states in several times with very high probability. Because of

the nonlinear properties of oscillators and their interaction, the system creates a truncation

of optical states, which leads to obtain two-qubit states. Next, we compare our results with

that achieved for systems in which interaction between oscillators is linear pumped in two

modes [1,2], and also interaction between oscillators is nonlinear pumped in one mode [3].

Abstract.

Yearly, highly pathogenic avian influenza A/H5N1 virus cause many outbreaks with

different strains in poultry in Vietnam, which poses the huge losses to the economy. The

development of universal vaccine candidates is considered the best strategy for protection

poultry resistant to many A/H5N1 strains at the same time. In this study, we designed a

artifical hemagglutinin representing to all of A/H5N1 strains clade 1 (HAc1) which

occered in poultry from 2003 until 2015 in Vietnam. So, HAc1 can be a universal vaccine

candidate. HAc1 was transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana by agroinfiltration.

The purification of HAc1 protein is performed and optimized by using immobilized metal

ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) and size exclusion chromatoghraphy (SEC). Purified

HAc1 was found immunogenic in rabbit at the first injection.

Abstract.

Antibiotics have saved millions of lives and eases the the suffering of patients of all ages

for more than 60 years; however, the rampant use in recent decades leads concerns about

antibiotic resistance [1]. The consequences of antibiotic resistance are not only increase in

sickness and deaths but also the burden of finance[2]. Some of studies have show that

concentrations of pharmaceuticals (almost antibiotics) in surface water and groundwater

are less than 0.1 μg/l [6]. There are many methods to remove antibiotics from water such

as ozonation [3], photocatalytic degradation [4] and absorption[5]. Activated carbon is

frequently applied for removing because of high surface area and inexpensive method.

The removal of amoxycillin (AMX) from aqueous solution were investigated using actived

carbon modification (ACM). The ACM were preparated by halogen - Br2 (BAC), sulfur

(SAC), hydrogen peroxide (HAC), nitric acid (NAC); and characterized by determination

of the point of zero charge, SEM spectrum, IR spectrum, BET. The resuft among the

investigated active carbon shows that SAC were the best material to remove AMX in

water. Moreover, when using 0.5 g each of AC, optimum pH is 6 for almost AC,

exceptionally NAC. The equilibium adsorption is practically achieved through a time of 90

minutes and 120 minutes for SAC and AC, respectively. The equilibrium data were in

good agreement with Langmuir model for both AC and SAC. The adsorption capacity of

AMX was significantly greater for the adsorption onto SAC than that of AC. The

adsorption capacity is 40 mg/g for SAC, while for AC is 16 mg/g. In the desorption tests of

AMX onto SAC, it is concluded that the desorption efficiency of AMX using alkaline

solution is better than using acidic solution.

Abstract.

Sarcandra glabra (Thunb.) Nakaibelongs to genus Sarcandra, the Chloranthaceae family

which is a medicinal plants that has anti-stress, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,

detoxifying, blood activating, and anti-bacterial effects. Sarcandra glabra is an wild herb

widely distribute in VietNam, especially in the provinces, at the North of VietNam. In this

work, we present the results of identification of Sarcandra samples collected in Lang Son

province, Viet Nam using ITS barcoding marker. The Sarcandra plants has a wooden trunk

with 0.5-1.5 cm in diameter; single leaf opposite and elliptical leaf blade with 7-20 cm

long, 3-5 cm wide, dark green on the inside, lightly on the underside; double flowers, few

branches and short ones including white inflorescence rising from 3 - 8cm long flower

bracts. Sarcandra has a small, berry-like fruit, approximately 4-7 mm in diameter. From

genome of Sarcandra plants, ITS region has been isolated with 650 nucleotides in length.

The BLAST analytic result showed that the ITS region of the Sarcandra samples collected

in Lang Son province, Viet Nam is similarity to that of the ITS region of 99.7% of

Sarcandra glabra species in GenBank (GenBank: JN407442, JN407443, KC840060,

KP317601). Thus, the Sarcandra samples collected at the Lang Sơn province, Viet Nam

belongs to Sarcandra glabra species. The this result opens the direction of application of

DNA barcode to identify Sarcandra glabra plants in Vietnam. We suggest that the use of

DNA barcoding is integrated into the work flow during medicinal herb studies, as this

could significantly increase the number of identified specimens and improve knowledge

about the medicinal species distributions.

Abstract.

We study the effects of a 650 mT external magnetic field (B-field) on the terahertz (THz)

emission characteristics of p-GaAs, n-GaAs, p-InAs and n-InAs semiconductor wafers.

The dominant THz emission in InAs is known to be the photo-Dember effect while it is the

surface field effect in GaAs [1-3]. A mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser with 800 nm central

wavelength, 100 fs pulse duration, and 80 MHz repetition rate was used as excitation

source. The THz emission from the samples was measured using a standard terahertz time-

domain spectroscopy setup (THz-TDS). The B-field effects on the THz-TDS waveform

polarity, amplitude, and bandwidth is discussed. Results have shown anomalous polarity

reversal and B-field enhancement preference from the samples. We explain these results in

the context of the drift-diffusion equation and the dipole reorientation model [4,7]. This

could be useful in the design and optimization of THz devices with magnetic and

optoelectronic applications.

Abstract.

We report on the ultrafast visible and far infrared emission properties of nanostructured

silicon (nanoSi) materials, namely porous silicon (PSi) and silicon nanowires (SiNW). The

PSi samples were fabricated using a standard lateral anodization setup [1], while the SiNW

samples were fabricated using electroless etching [2,3]. The PL observed from the nanoSi

were attributed to radiative recombination at the surface states. Ultrafast radiative lifetime

in the order of 250 picoseconds were also observed from the strongly luminescent PSi

samples. The enhanced THz emission were attributed to the increased photon absorption

and more efficient photocarrier transport. An inverse relationship between THz emission

and luminescence intensity was observed, as photocarrier transport and radiative

recombination are competing mechanisms [4]. Understanding the carrier dynamics in

nanoSi could pave way to novel and more efficient Si-based photovoltaic devices.

Abstract.

Using bioinsecticides is an environmental friendly method to regulate of insect populations

in field. Microbes, especially entomopathogenic fungi widely uses to produce commercial

bioinsecticides. In this study, we reported an isolated entomopathogenic fungus from

infected Scotinophara tarsalis that effectively kills Pieris rapae andZophobas morio.

Morphological and molecular classification indicated that the isolated strain is Beauveria

bassiana named Beauveria bassiana TN1 has 98-100% homology in internal transcribed

spacer (ITS) sequence compared with the available ITS sequence in the public

database GenBank. The fungus strain grew well on temperature range from 28 to 38oC and

optimal temperature was 33oC. Interestingly, the strain still grew and kept

entomopathogenic capacity after 30 min continuously exposing UV light. Optimal

Abstract.

The kinetics of exothermic reactions are important in assessing the potential of materials

and systems for the thermal explosion. In this paper, the thermal behavior and

decomposition kinetics of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and polymer-bonded

explosives (PBX) based on PETN were investigated using several thermal methods, such

as Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and

Vacuum Stability Test (VST). The Arrhenius activation energies and pre-exponential

factors were determined by the Ozawa, Flynn, and Wall (OFW) and Kissinger-Akahira-

Sunose (KAS) methods [1-4]. It was found that PBX based on PETN has a lower

activation energy than pure PETN. Based on the overall kinetic parameters of

decomposition reactions, the shelf life of PETN and PBXs based on PETN can be

calculated and predicted [2,5].

this study, shoot tip and leaf explants ofKB1 sweet potatovariety were

infectedwithA.tumefaciensC58/pBI101/cry3Ca1. The selection were occured oncallus

producing medium (SM) containing 0.5 g/L picloram, 100 mg/L kanamycin and 500 mg/L

cefotaxime. Survival embryogenic calli were then transferred toembryo producing medium

(EG2) supplied with 1.0 mg/L ABA and 1.0 mg/L GA3after 3 weeks. Putative transgenic

shoots regenerated on medium (RM) supplying 0.5 mg/L kinetin and 1.0 mg/L BAP were

rooted on root producing medium (RR). The tentative transgenic lines were proved positively

by PCR and finalized by Southern, and biotest in laboratory. Conclusionly,we obtained 62

tentativetransgenic sweet potato lines resistant to kanamycin. Among these lines, five putative

transgenic lines were proved positively by Southern hybridization, confirming that the

transgenic lines of KB1 cultivars obtain one copies of the cry3Ca1gene.

Abstract.

The study was carried out to determine radioactivity concentration in surface soil samples

of Thoulakhom District in Vientiane province, Lao PDR and associated potential

radiological hazards. The natural radionuclide (226

Ra, 232

Th and 40

K) contents were

determined for 10 locations throughout the geological surface formations in representative

area in the city of Thoulakhom Distric in Vientiane province, Lao PDR, using high-

resolution gamma-spectrometric analysis. The ranges of specific activity for 226

Ra, 232

Th

and 40K were found to be 11.43↔30.98, 7.24↔44.56 and 9.79↔581.71 Bq kg

-1,

respectively. The anthropogenic radionuclide, 137

Cs, was not observed in statistically

signigicant amounts above the the background level in the current study. The absorbed

gamma dose rate in air at 1m above the ground surface, the outdoor annual effective dose

equivalent, with all the soil samples in the present work were evaluated. The results

indicate that the radiation hazard from promordial radionuclides in all soil samples from

area studied in this curren work is not signifacant.

Abstract.

Langmuir monolayer is a monomolecular layer formed on water surfaces, its structure

resembles biological membrane. Study of the effect of dissolved ions on the structure of

Langmuir monolayers on alkaline saline solution interfaces can provide important

information relating to biological processes such as cell signalling and membrane fusion.

In this report, we use a second-order nonlinear optical spectroscopy – Sum-Frequency

Generation Vibrational Spectroscopy (SFG-VS) to investigate the interaction between Na+,

K+ cations as well as Br¯, I¯ anions and Arachidic Acid (AA) monolayer/water interfaces.

The obtained SFG spectra show that those ions affect the interface in different ways. As a

result, the AA monolayer is spontaneouslycollapsed by those dissolved ions.

Abstract.

Musa sapientum was a nutritious fruit and results high benefit due to growing easily, short

cultivation time and all year around harvest. However, post-harvest preservation was not

good cause rotten banana rate of 20%. This study aims to screen the yeast strain among 12

endophytic yeast strains isolated from Musa sapientum for banana preservation. These

yeast strains were investigated for the production of three extracellular enzymes (amylase,

cellulose, protease) by diffusion on agar plates method and grouped by fingerprinting

technic. The obtained results showed that, there were four endophytic yeast strains

producing from 2 to 3 extracellular enzymes. In combination with fingerprinting technic

and antifungal capable investigation, four endophytic yeast strains against plant fungal

pathogen as Verticillium theobromae, Piricularia grisea, Macphonia musae were selected.

They were named N4.11, 2Y1, 36Y3, 36Y4. These selected strains were classified into the

Meyerozyma species based on the ITS regional sequence analysis using ITS1 / ITS4

primers. These strains N4.11 and 2Y1 was identified similar to Meyerozyma caribbica,

other strains 36Y3 and 36Y4 was identified similar to Meyerozyma guilliermondii. With

their own biological characteristics, these four selected endophytic yeast strains can be

used in Musa sapientum banana preservation to improve the quality of post-harvest

banana.

Abstract.

The Little Picard Theorem states that if a meromorphic function on the complex plane

omits three distinct points in , then it is a constant function; and the classical result of

Montel says that the family F of meromorphic functions on a domain is normal if

there are three distinct points a, b, c ∈ such that each element of F omits each of a, b and

c in D. The Little Picard Theorem was generalized to the case of entire curves in the

complement of 2n + 1 hyperplanes in general position in by Green, and to the case of

entire curves in the complement of 2n + 1 hypersurfaces in general position in by

Eremenko. According to Bloch‟s principle, to every „Picard-type‟ theorem, there should

belong a corresponding normality criterion. The normality result corresponding to the

aforementioned Picard-type theorems was proved by Tu, and Tu-Li. In this paper, we

introduction this problem for the case where the mappings of the family can meet the

hyperplanes (and hypersurfaces).

Abstract.

Nanotechnology has widespread using in many fields such as electronic, environmental,

cosmetic, pharmaceutical, material and agriculture applications. In section of agriculture, it

has great potential for increasing crop yield and productivity, decreasing the amount of

toxins and fertilizers, increasing the length of time spent to preserve farming productions.

Soybean is an important crop and a source of food for humans and livestock. In this study,

both zerovalent colbalt nanoparticles made from Vietnam and USA with different

concentrations (0, 0.17 and 16.7 mg/kg seed) was used. The growth, photosynthetic

parameters of soybean Glycine max (L). Merr. DT26 were evaluated at first (V1), third

(V3) and fifth (V5) trifoliate and begin at flowering (R1) stages.

Parameters such as Fo (initial fluorescence), Fm (maximal fluorescence), Fv/Fm (maximal

photochemical efficiency), effective quantum yield of photosystem II (PSII),

photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR), Pn (net photosynthetic rate) and chlorophyll a

content of soybean seedlings which were treated with cobalt nanoparticles were higher

than in the control. The value of these parameters had tended to gradually increased and

reached maximum at V5 stage. The above mentioned parameters significantly decrease at

R1 stage. Similar trend was observed in the growth indices (such as the plant height, dry

weights of stems and leaves and leaf area). Crop yield of experimental formulas exceeded

the control (5%) while the quality of grain was no significant different among plots. The

obtained results also showed the efficiency of zerovalent cobalt nanoparticle originated

from Viet Nam was similar to USA.

We build a C/C++ program which allow estimating cross section of hadronic process given

the formula of partonic amplitude. The study is based on the theory of quantum

chromodynamics (QCD) and parton distribution [1] of hadron in elementary particle

physics. The hadronic cross section is calculated by convoluting partonic amplitude with

parton distribution functions (PDFs) [2]. This fact causes the dimensions of integral

increase two comparing to the partonic cross section. The multiple integral of this study is

treated using adaptive Monte Carlo program [3].

Abstract.

Capparis dongvanensis is an endemic plant of Vietnam, belonging to Capparaceae [2]. The

research samples were collected in Dong Van District, Ha Giang Province. To study the

anatomical structure, we collected young stems and leaves, then cut thin, double dyeing

and observed on a microscope using Microscope manger software. The extract from C.

dongvanensis was used for research antibacterial activity of Staphylococcus aureus and

Bacillus subtilis [1].

The anatomical structure of C. dongvanensis is characteristic of the dicotyledon. Anatomy

of the stem including: cork ouside, thick 6µm. Cortex is about 80μm thick, including three

types of tissue: angular collenchyma has 3-4 cell layers; parenchyma has 6-8 cell layers,

chlorophyll; screlenchyma concentrated into clumps. The vasculars include xylem,

canbium and phloem arranged in a loop. Pit consists of cells with a diameter of 18-25μm.

Anatomy of the leaf including: epidermis, parenchyma and vein. Epidermis includes upper

epidermis and lower epidermis. Parenchyma differentiated into palisade parenchyma and

spongy parenchyma. Palisade parenchyma has 2-3 cell layers, contains chlorophyll, thick

10-14 μm. Spongy parenchyma has 10-12 cell layers, round or ovate, with a large

intercalation area, thick 10 μm. The main vein contains the xylem above, the phloem

below. Upper of xylem, there are 3-4 collenchyma layers. Parenchyma contains oval cells.

Ethyl acetate extract at 30 mg/ml showed maximum antibacterial activity on S. aureus,

followed by ethyl acetate extract at 10 mg/ml, 100 mg/ml and chloroform extract at 10

mg/ml; the diameters of the inhibition cycles were 10 mm and 9 mm, respectively.Whereas

Ethanol extract at 10mg/ml, 100 mg/ml and chloroform extract at 30 mg/ml inhibited S.

aureus lowest, the diameters of antibacterial is 4 mm. B. subtilis had the highest inhibitory

activity by ethanol extract at 10mg/ml, 100 mg/ml and chloroform extract at 30 mg/ml; the

diameters of the inhibition cycles were 13 mm, 11 mm and 9 mm, respectively. Etanol

extract at 30 mg/ml inhibited B. subtilis lowest (the diameters of antibacterial was 4 mm).

So, the extracts of C. dongvanensis with ethanol, chloroform and ethyl acetate inhibited the

development of S. aureus and B. subtilis at 10-100mg/ml, and antibacterial activity was

different.

Abstract.

Otitis media is one of the most common infections among children on over around the

world. To diagnose otitis media, most physicians base on clinical symptoms and changes

of tympanic membrane. Physicians usually use otical otoscope or pneumatic otoscopy to

examine the tympanic membrane. Diagnosing children with acute otitis media is difficult,

therefore, there are more and more algorithms developed to help physicians diagnose otitis

media. In the present word, we focus on performing photograph of middle ear based on

changing some properties of light source such asintensity or using polarized light. After

that, we detect the tympanic membrane using some of the algorithmson the matlab

platform.

Abstract.

In recent years,several pathogenic bacteria present resistance against antibiotics, being

necessarythe search and develop new drugs with activity against resistant pathogens from

various sources. Therefore, antimicrobial activity evaluating methods has been widely

reported. Severalantibacterial activity bioassays such as disk diffusion, welldiffusion or

agar dilution are well known and commonly used, but bioautography (thin layer

chromatographic - TLC) is a new microbial detection methodnot only investigating

biochemical processes and factors influencing bacterial growth,but also for testing various

groups of compounds. In this article, we searched the antibacterial activity ofseveral

organic extracts from marine bacteria, which were isolated from near coast of Vietnam

island from corals and sponges. Test bacteria were bothGram-negative (Pseudomonas

aeruginosa and Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive(Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus

cereus and Staphylococcus aureus) human pathogenic bacterialstrains. The results research

confirm the potential use of marine bacteria extracts as a source of antibiotic compound

and open the possibility of use of new drugs.

E-mail: [email protected]

Abstract.

Bismuth oxide selenide, Bi2O2Se, was experimentally investigated as a good

thermoelectric material due to the low thermal conductivity. In this study, we perform first-

principles calculation and utilize the solution of Boltzmann transport equation in a constant

relaxation-time approximation to study electronic structure and the thermoelectric

properties of Bi2O2Se under some oxygen defect types, i.e. vacancies and point defects.

Oxygen vacancies trap bands located inside the band gap of Bi2O2Se and lead it to be

conducting with n-type semiconductor type. These bands are responsible for a drastic

reduction of the Seebeck coefficient whereas the oxygen point defects remain the

semiconducting feature. For the point defects, the power factor markedly increases during

p-type doping compared with that during n-type doping. The optimal carrier concentrations

are also discussed.

Abstract.

This paper illustrates the use of modern regression methods in modelling annual AIDS

incidence. In particular, the methods address issues such as non-normality of responses and

non-linearity and lack of independence in the responses over time. Non-linear marginal

regression models are considered when the normality assumption is valid while generalised

linear mixed regression methods are used to develop models for estimation and prediction

of incidence for subgroups of AIDS patients in Bangkok when the normality assumption

fails. Annual incidence data covering the period 2005-2015 and obtained from Group Plans

and Information AIDS TB and STIs Control Division of Bangkok Health Center is used in

building the incidence models. The results show that the overall AIDS incidence in

Bangkok decreases by roughly 80% year on year but this decrease is not reflected in all

subgroups of the population. In particular, the decrease in incidence is shown to be slowing

down in young men, older people and male prisoners. This latter group have been

identified as a key group left behind in prevention strategies. On the other hand, the rate of

decline in incidence appears to be increasing in people who inject drugs.

Abstract.

The increasing demand for economy and architecture of steel structures for several years

has raised questions about the analysis and design of I-shaped columns with web

perforations, in particular, the elements with hexagonal perforations in the web called

castellated I-shaped columns (castellated columns [1]). This paper aims at studying the

elastic buckling load of axially loaded castellated columns and then comparing formulas of

analytical computations [2, 3] with numerical methods from the finite element method

(FEM) using the Code_Aster and the software ANSYS 16.0. In addition, the study also

takes into account the influence of various end conditions on the buckling capacity. The

application of the columns is efficient in cases with low axial loads, such as gable-

columns, portal legs, wind-posts, and valley-columns.

Keywords:Castellated, columns, buckling, steel, finite element, Code_Aster, ANSYS…

Abstract.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) data processing takes too much time because it has many

stages for calculation such as: data format, topographic correction, denoising, amplification

and some others. In final analysis step, there crucial parameters: depth, position, and size

of the buried objects were needed to determine. The determination for those parameters of

a buried objects using traditional GPR methods has many difficulties since this calculation

depends on electromagnetic wave velocity in the material, and this velocity varies very

complex in all directions. In this paper, the wavelet transform modulus maxima (WTMM)

method with the appropriate wavelet functions were introduced to interpret the GPR data,

thereby it is easy to estimate of depth, size and position of the buried objects without the

consideration of electromagnetic wave velocity in the material. This GPR analysis can be

applied for the research of shallow geological structure.

Keywords:Ground penetrating radar, appropriate wavelet functions, detecting buried

objects, wavelet transform modulus maxima.

Abstract.

In this work, the response and efficiency of a n-type HPGe detector was investigated by

Monte Carlo simulation using PENELOPE. The validity of the model was evaluated by

comparing the simulated full-energy peak efficiency with the measured value. Modeling of

the detector geometry was described in detail, and differences between the simulated and

measured spectra were discussed. Effects at low energy region, Compton scattering,

multiple Compton scattering and the low-energy tail of the peak were investigated for

point sources emitting only single energy. For point sources emitting multiple energy were

investigated additional effects in the photoelectric peaks region and high energy region.

Abstract.

Chirped-Pulse Amplification (CPA) technique has been used widely to produce intense

ultra-short laser pulses. We have developed successfully a laser pulse multi-pass amplifier

based on CPA for femto-second titan-sapphire laser pulses. This amplifier was pumped at

532 nm at 10 Hz by a high power Nd:YAG laser. The amplifier was well combined with:

A pulse selector which selects single ser pulses at 10 Hz from the mode-locked femto-

second titan-sapphire laser pulses of 80 MHz;

A single grating (1200 graves/mm)-based pulse stretcher. This stretcher of a horizontal

beam size of 4 cm on a grating surface well stretched single laser pulses of 150 fs (at 800

nm and 10 Hz) to 36 ps corresponding to a large stretching factor.

A single grating (1200 graves/mm)-based compressor which works in a similar way to the

pulse stretcher or compressor using a pair of gratings and well compressed single amplified

laser pulses of 36 ps to 150 fs.

In energy, this multi-pass CPA amplifier has been successfully used for amplifying pulse

energy of femto-second titan sapphire laser pulses from 10 nJ to 70 µJ, corresponding to a

factor of 7000.

Abstract.

Recently, graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were studied with many

interesting features at 2D structures. The GO, rGO could be obtained from different

fabrication methods. In this work, the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) material was

synthesized by the modified Hummers method; the pre-material was graphite powder; the

final materials obtained from this synthesis process were rGO powder and rGO solution.

The formation of rGO was via four steps: graphite graphite oxide graphene oxide

(GO) rGO, at each step, the morphological and features of the material were

investigated and analyzed by SEM, FTIR, DLS. The results described the oxidation of the

graphite layers and showed the exfoliation of the layers to form the rGO. In addition, they

indicated the reduction of functional groups when forming rGO from graphene oxide

(GO).

The results showed a clear view of the material forming process, and they showed the

ability to synthesize rGO by the modified process. This process had high efficiency in

reducing of functional groups, which influence to the conductivity of the rGO.

Abstract.

Pyruvic acid (pyruvate) is a central intermediate in all organisms. It is widely used as a

starting material in the industrial biosynthesis of pharmaceuticals and is employed for the

production of crop-protection agents, polymers, cosmetics, and food additives.

Halophilic microorganisms, especially Halomonas genus, are potential candidates for

producing valuable products as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), ectoine, enzymes and

pyruvate. In this study, a moderate halophilic, Gram-negative, and aerobe designated as

strain HC3 isolated from salter in Nam Dinh province was shown to produce the pyruvate.

The isolate was rod-shape, 0.56 - 3.16 m in length. Colonies on solid medium were

circular, smooth and yellow. The strain grew under environment conditions of 0.5 - 20%

(w/v) NaCl, pH 5 - 12 and at temperature from 20oC to 45

oC. Test for oxidase, catalase

activities were positive. This strain reduced nitrate to nitrite. G + C content of HC3 strain

was 62.8 mol%. The predominant fatty acids profile of this strain was C16:0, C18:1 7c, C16:1

7c and C12:0 3OH. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequence has shown

that this strain was belonging to the genus Halomonas. Based on physiological, biological

and chemotaxonomic data, it is proposed that the strain HC3 be assigned to the genus

Halomonas as Halomonas sp. HC3.

Abstract.

This work reports on the result of the influence of surface plasmon effect from colloidal

gold nanoparticles on fluorescence emission of Cyanine 3 (Cy3) dye. Due to the surface

plasmon effect of gold nanoparticles, the fluorescence of Cy3 dye nearby them can be

enhanced or quenched depending on the distance between the Cy3 molecules and the gold

nanoparticles. Optimal fluorescence enhancement of Cy3 dye has been observed in the

mixture with gold nanoparticles; and the fluorescence enhancement has been observed

when the gold concentration increases up a specified value. The gold nanoparticles can

enhance or quench the fluorescence of Cy3 dye depending on energy transfer mechanisms,

the dominating of surface plasmon coupling emission process or the Förster energy transfer

from dye molecules to gold particles exciting absorption plasmon.

Abstract.

140La is created from the

thermal neutron capture reaction of

139La, which is the product of

the fission reaction. It makes some effects into the components of the nuclear reactor core.

Understanding the properties and structure of 140

La is important in operating the nuclear

reactor. Besides that, nuclear structure models are very effective in explaining the

properties of nuclear structure. There are many nuclear structure models to solve those

problems, such as Liquid Drop Model, Shell Model, Fermi Model, etc. Among them, the

Collective Model has been very successful in describing the variety of nuclear properties,

especially energy levels in deformed nuclei that the Shell Model and the Liquid Drop

Model does not apply. This paper presents the application of the Collective Model to

determine some vibrational bands of 140

La nucleus. This experiment is performed at

channel No.2 of Dalat Research Reactor (DRR), Prompt gamma neutron activation

analysis method (PGNAA) is used. The result has found 8 vibrational bands of 140

La nucleus. It‟s quite relevant to the theoretical calculation. The deviations are less than

1.6 %.

Keywords: Collective model, 140

Abstract.

The response functions of the Bonner Sphere Extended spectrometer were calculated using

MCNP program. For incident neutrons above 10MeV, tungsten was an excellent heavy

material as it yielded the highest response among tested materials. In addition, the

thickness of the heavy-metal layer had a considerable effect on the response. Based on

calculated results, recommended thickness for Bonner Sphere Extended spectrometers was

also presented. This study was valuable not only in understanding the behavior of Bonner

Sphere Extended Spectrometer but also provide data for future experiments.

Keywords: Bonner Sphere Extended spectrometer; Metal thickness; Response.

Abstract.

The efficiency of plastic scintillator was calculated based on MCNP simulation, with

various thickness of the plastic scintillator layer taken into consideration. The plastic

scintillator was a good candidate in measuring high energy beta emitters (32

P or 90

Sr/90

Y).

However, poor counting efficiency was expected for 3H and

14C due to the short range of

beta in aqueous environment. Based on the energy deposition and the effect of gamma

rays/background, a thickness of 1mm of plastic scintillator was suggested for the up-

coming device.

Keywords: Beta rays, in-situ device, plastic scintillator, efficiency.
