Phyllanthus (Euphorbiaceae) is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas, including Vietnam, where it is considered a valuable medicinal herb. Numerous bioactive compounds from Phyllanthus species have been identified, demonstrating pharmacological effects such as antiallergic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial, antimalarial, and wound healing activities. This review provides a comprehensive summary of Phyllanthus genus and its pharmaceutical properties, emphasizing the methodologies used for bioactive compound extraction and evaluation, as well as their clinical relevance.
The paper presents the results of a study on the essential physical properties of armchair SiSn nanoribbon (SiSnNR) material, based on density functional theory (DFT) using the quantum simulation program VASP. Structural parameters are highlighted along with electronic and optical properties. The findings reveal that SiSnNR exhibits significant differences in bond lengths, bond angles, and buckling compared to SiNR and SnNR. SiSnNR demonstrates semiconducting properties, with a direct band gap width of approximately 0.3123Å calculated using GGA-PBE, increasing to 0.5892Å when using the hybrid HSE06 functional. The results indicate that Sn atoms primarily contribute to energy bands below the Fermi level, while Si atoms contribute more to higher energy levels. The study also highlights the overlap of py and pz orbitals, leading to sp2 and sp3 hybridization. In terms of optical properties, the energy range from 3 to 5eV is where SiSnNR exhibits the strongest light absorption. The largest number of electron-hole pairs is generated within the energy range of 8-10eV, resulting in intense optical absorption and transitions in this region.
This study investigates the structural and electronic properties of Au-doped silicene nanoribbons (SiNRs) under the influence of an external electric field of 0.4 eV/Å, utilizing density functional theory (DFT). The stability and structural integrity of SiNRs following Au doping are assessed, considering two distinct doping configurations: the top configuration and the valley configuration, where each unit cell incorporates a single Au atom. The formation energies of the doped systems are calculated to evaluate their thermodynamic stability based on DFT principles. Furthermore, detailed analyses of the density of states (DOS) and energy band structures are conducted. Both doping configurations exhibit metallic characteristics, indicating potential applicability in future nanoelectronic devices.
Improving and exploring the photocatalytic performance of composites for new models continues to pose a challenge. Here, a straightforward thermal dispersion method is achieved by incorporating nitrogen (N) into TiO2 at different weights (1%, 3%, and 5%) to enhance photocatalytic activity. The material properties are analyzed through ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-VIS DRS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that the NO gas removal efficiency of N-TiO2 photocatalytic materials is higher than that of pure TiO2 after 30 minutes of exposure to visible light. The highest NO gas treatment efficiency of N-TiO2 -1% is 40.4%, with a reaction rate following a first-order kinetic equation of 0.0688 min-1. Successfully fabricating N-TiO2 photocatalytic materials using the thermal dispersion method, with significantly enhanced photocatalytic performance under visible light activation, will benefit practical applications, particularly in the environmental sector.
The cold gas dynamic spraying (CGDS) method enables the application of coatings with various functional properties to nearly any substrate material, facilitates the restoration of geometric dimensions of parts damaged during use, and allows for the renewal of protective anticorrosive coatings without the need for complex structural dismantling. This review describes the latest developments in the processes and applications of CGDS technology.The ease and manufacturability of the process, along with the mobility of CGDS coating systems, make it suitable for use both in industrial settings with robotic systems and in "field" environments.
In this paper, the structural properties of crystalline and polycrystalline Cr have been investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The interaction between atoms is modeled via the MEAM potential. Periodic boundary conditions are applied in the x, y, and z directions. The structural characteristics are analyzed through the total energy function, heat capacity, radial distribution function, and angle distribution. Dynamics are evaluated through the analysis of mean squared displacement and diffusion coefficient. The results show that the melting temperature of crystalline Cr is higher than that of polycrystalline Cr, indicating that the polycrystal melts earlier. This information is important when considering material applications in high-temperature environments.

RESEARCH ON COOKING OIL ABSORBENT PADS USING WATER HYACINTH MATERIALS

Nguyen Thi Xuan Hanh, Nguyen Hong Hai Duy, Tran Thi Khanh Hoa
ABSTRACT Cooking oil is an indispensable ingredient in everyday family cooking. The oil after use is often discharged directly into wastewater systems, leading to risks of environmental pollution, water pollution, clogging of drainage systems... In recent years, water hyacinth plants have been considered weeds, floating on rivers, canals, ponds and lakes, obstructing the circulation of boats and preventing water flow. Water hyacinth plants are often found in large rivers and almost no one cares about their uses, making them truly wasteful. Realizing the flexibility of water hyacinth when dried, it can be woven into pieces with good absorbent properties, our team has researched using water hyacinth as a material to absorb used cooking oil that is discarded into the environment. school. The research uses the main methods of experimental method and sample analysis method in its research. The result is that a product that absorbs discarded cooking oil scum is formed and is tested for cooking oil contaminated water with results consistent with QCVN 14:2008/BTNMT. The purpose of the research is to find effective products to absorb discarded cooking oil to save costs and contribute to environmental protection. The problem of using naturally available materials to create products that absorb cooking oil scum at the same time solves two current environmental problems. The research is a preliminary result, so there are still many shortcomings. We hope that in the future there will be further research to make the product more and more perfect
Advanced materials have been of interest in recent years because of their outstanding properties that bring many useful applications to humans, they can be highly compatible with alternative materials. In particular, coating materials on HAp base increase the biocompatibility of HAp. In this study, we synthesize TiO2/HAp composite materials using the sol - gel method. Samples were made under different synthesis conditions in terms of HAp/TTIP ratios: (1:1); (1:1.5); (1:2); (1:2.5); (1:3). Factors affecting the synthesis process, such as the incubation time and pH of the solution, were also investigated. The optimal conditions for the synthesis process are the ratio HAp/TTIP: 1 gram HAp with 2 ml TTIP; stirring time: 16 hours; pH of the gel solution: pH = 0.5, as determined from the analysis of the X-ray diffraction spectrum and SEM surface morphology. The research results are the basis for research on biomedical materials.
Investigating the characteristics of the three-step sorption of Sc on armchair silicene nanoribbons is the aim of this study. Since absorbed energy is the largest of the bridge, hollow, valley, and top positions, the hollow position is selected first. The structural state of the second step has an energy of adsorption of 4.18 Å and a bond length of 2.36 Å for Si-Si. Finally, ASiNRs with a high Sc atom had their 1.25 Å surface modified. Adsorbed ASiNRs resulted in new materials with semi-metal and magnetic characteristics, suggesting potential use in spintronic and electronic devices in the future.
In this work, we focus on investigating ill-posed problems (according to the definition given by Hadamard) in the topic of its application.

By using discrete Fourier transform and fast Fourier transform methods, we present several results on image processing topic. Finally, some illustrative examples are presented through algorithms running on Python software.

Vo Van On, Nguyen Duy Khanh, Nguyen Thanh Tung, Hoang Van Ngoc and Huynh Thi Phuong Thuy
In the paper, we investigate the structure and electronic properties of the pristine germanene nanoribbon and four adsorption configurations of 1F and 2F on the substrate of germanene nanoribbon. We obtained the parameters of the most stable structures of pristine germanene nanoribbon and four adsorption configurations. The band structure and the density of state and the part density of state for each element were also obtained. Findings show the adsorption configuration of 1F-GeNR.bridge has no band structure, while other configurations are semimetals with band gap from 0.175eV to 0.67eV; both four adsorption configurations are chemisorption and non-magnetic. The charge distribution of all configurations also was investigated; it showed that there is a charge shift from Ge atoms towards F atoms due to their electronegativity difference.
Abstract: The article is based on data from the research program "Greater Mekong Subregion Flood and Drought Risk Management and Mitigation Project (ADB-GMS1)" jointly implemented by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the Vietnam Institute of Water Resourches Research in Tien Giang and Dong Thap province. The results show that, in recent years, due to the increasingly severe global climate change, the intensity of various types of natural disasters occurs more frequently, irregularly and with greater intensity. This has greatly affected the production, daily life and properties of the people in the vulnerable areas. To reduce the impact of various types of disasters on people living in vulnerable areas, it is necessary to combine two types of solutions in disaster prevention, namely construction solutions and non- construction solutions. In which, non-construction solutions play a very important role, namely, people living in communities are considered as the main actors in preventing and mitigating disaster risks occurring in the community.
Applying first-principles calculations, the investigation of the geometrical and electronic properties of Pr adsorption armchair silicene nanoribbons structure has been established. The results show that the bandgap doped Pr has been changed, which is the case for chemical adsorption on the surface of ASiNRs; this material became metallic with the peak of valance band contact fermi level. Moreover, the survey to find the optimal height 1.82 Å of Pr and 2.24 Å bond length Si-Si, and Si-Si-Si bond angle 108005’, energy adsorption is -7.65 eV, buckling is 0.43 Å with structure stability close to the pristine case, has brought good results for actively creating newly applied materials for the spintronic and optoelectronics field in the future.
Heavy metal pollution is a major problems in the environment. The impact of toxic metal ions can be minimized by different technologies, viz., chemical precipitation, membrane filtration, oxidation, reverse osmosis, flotation and adsorption. But among them, adsorption was found to be very efficient and common due to the low concentration of metal uptake and economically feasible properties. In this review paper, Fe–Mn binary oxide incorporated into diatomite (Fe/Mn-diatomite) was prepared by a simple coating method , and removal of Cu(II) from aqueous solutions. The effects of three independent variables including initial ion concentration, removal time, and adsorbent dosage were investigated on the maximum adsorption of Cu (II). The optimum conditions for the adsorption of Cu(II) was obtained: 75 ppm of initial ion concentration, 150 min of removal time and 1.5 g/l of adsorbent. The maximum removal efficiencies of Cu(II) was obtained 86.25%. The results showed that Fe/Mn-diatomite was apable of treating copper metal in wastewater.
