The Vietnamese agricultural sector has experienced a dramatic structural change based on increased specialization in rice cultivation.However, small-scale rice-farmers have continued to grow multiple crops, especially in less developed provinces.While the literature advocates crop diversification for reasons of both economic and ecological sustaina
Biopolymers produced by marine organisms can offer useful tools for regenerative medicine.Particularly, HE800 exopolysaccharide (HE800 EPS) secreted by a deep-sea hydrothermal bacterium displays an interesting glycosaminoglycan-like feature resembling hyaluronan.Previous studies demonstrated its effectiveness to enhance in vivo bone regeneration an
Here, the potential of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) in grading calcareous rocks for the lime industry was investigated.In particular, we developed a system equipped with non-intensified detectors operating in scanning mode, defined a suitable data acquisition protocol, and implemented quantitative data processing using both partial l
The steel-slag-air multiphase flow in a bloom tundish with five strands during the transient casting of the ladle change was simulated using the Volume of Fluid (VOF) model, and the formation mechanisms of macro-inclusions and the behavior of the steel-slag-air interface during the filling process were investigated.Water model experiments were cond
