PublicationA localized hybrid kernel meshless technique for solving the fractional Rayleigh–Stokes problem for an edge in a viscoelastic fluid( 2023)
;Zakieh Avazzadeh ;Omid Nikan ;Anh Tuan NguyenVan Tien Nguyen"This paper presents an efficient stabilized meshless technique with a hybrid kernel to simulate the fractional Rayleigh–Stokes problem for an edge in a viscoelastic fluid. The proposed method approximates the unknown solution through two phases. Firstly, the temporal discretization of the govern model is performed by integrating both sides of it, and then the space discretization is obtained by making use of the local hybrid Gaussian-cubic kernel meshless. The localized approach considers merely neighboring collocation nodes, while avoiding the ill-conditioning occurring in other techniques with dense and large matrix systems. The semidiscretized approach in terms of the convergence and stability properties is discussed theoretically in the weighted 𝐻1-norm and confirmed numerically. Two illustrative examples are given to show the efficiency and applicability of the proposed strategy." -
PublicationA NURBS-based IGA using zig-zag plate theory for nonlinear passive/semi-active damping analysis of laminated FG-CNTRC plates( 2023)T. Nguyen-Thoi, Duy-Khuong Ly, Sy-Ngoc Nguyen, Vinyas Mahesh, Chanachai Thongchom"In this article, a novel numerical approach based on electromechanical coupling isogeometric analysis employing a piecewise linear zig-zag function is proposed for modeling and analysis of smart constrained layer damping (SCLD) treatment in multilayer porous functionally graded graphene platelets-reinforced composite (PFG-GPRC) plates. The approach efficiently approximates the geometric, mechanical, and electric displacement fields by utilizing non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) basis functions. These basis functions are subsequently integrated with the zig-zag formulation to characterize the system dynamic and help handle both continuous/discontinuous material properties at all interfaces, as well as improve the effectiveness of global–local numerical solutions for the analysis of current structures. The multilayer PFG-GPRC plate model is designed to incorporate porous, uniformly, or non-uniformly distributed layers based on three different graphene platelet patterns. The analysis of the SCLD treatment encompasses an examination of the frequency response function of the damped structure under passive/hybrid mechanisms, taking into account"

PublicationAir emission inventory and air quality modelling for developing countries: A case of Vinh Phuc province, Vietnam( 2023)
;Pham Huong Quynh ;Do Thi Cam Van ;Nguyen Viet Vu ;Chu Tuong Mai ;Pham Nguyet Anh ;Le Thi Kim OanhQuoc Bang HoAbstract Vinh Phuc is a province in the Northern Key Economic Region with a developed industry, a high population rate, and a relatively high traffic density. Along with economic growth, environmental protection in general, and air quality improvement in particular are two challenges that Vinh Phuc authorities must identify in the coming years. To do so, total emission load data must be acquired in order to establish a pollution distribution map for the entire Vinh Phuc province. The paper’s aim is to provide: (i) air emissions inventory, and (ii) the application of the model to build a map of pollution distribution in Vinh Phuc province. Different methods are used in this study, including (i) emission inventory utilizing both bottom-up and top-down techniques [1], (ii) air quality simulation applying the Finite Volume Model - Transport and Air Pollution Model [2] (FVM-TAPOM), and (iii) other approaches such as interview method, statistical tool, geographic information system (GIS), expert method, etc. According to research findings, motorbikes account for more than 90% of the concentration of pollutants for traffic activities. Iron and steel industries has the highest emission among 15 industries and straw burning activities account for more than 70% of total area source emissions. An emissions distribution map for traffic and industry sources was developed based on air quality simulation which showed that Vinh Yen city has the highest emissions among 09 districts and cities in Vinh Phuc province. The study also identified the causes of air pollution in Vinh Phuc province, providing remedies for the management agency to release plans and activities to minimize Vinh Phuc province emissions and ensure the local community’s air quality and health. -

PublicationAn in-vitro evaluation of antifungal, anti-lungcancer (A549), and anti-hyperglycemic activities potential of Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) flower extract( 2023)
;Tran Nhat Phuong ;Nguyen Duy Tai ;Abeer S. Aloufi ;Baskaran SubramaniSridevi Dhanarani Theivaraj"The medical plant research has received more attention among researchers especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. This research performed to evaluate the antifungal, anti-lung cancer (A549), and antihyperglycemic activities of aqueous extract of Andrographis paniculata flower. Interestingly, A. paniculata flower aqueous extract contains pharmaceutically valuable phytochemicals such as alkaloid, phenolics, terpenoids, tannins, flavonoids, and protein. It also showed fine antifungal activity against test fungal pathogens in the following order as: Aspergillus niger > Fusarium solani > Trichoderma harzianum > A. parasiticus > P. expansum > Penicillium janthinellum with lowest MIC values as ranged from 100 to 300 μg mL 1. Interestingly, this aqueous extract also showed considerable anti-lung cancer activity, evidenced by dose and time dependent lung cancer cell line (A549) growth/proliferation inhibition/cytotoxicity activity (65%) at 300 μg mL 1 concentration. This can be achieved by plant extract through inducing the secretion of apoptosis related proteins such as TNF α, IFN- γ, and ınterleukin 2 leads to apoptosis in A549 cells. It also showed fine anti-diabetic activity by inhibiting α -amylase (58.41%) than α-glucosidase (54.74%) at 200 μg mL 1 concentration. The UV as well as FTIR results demonstrated that the aqueous extract of A. paniculata flower contains pharmaceutically valuable bioactive compounds, which may be responsible for the wide range of biomedical applications" -
PublicationAngle dependence of the electrical conductivity in high Tc superconductor( 2023)"Luu Huu Nguyen, Tran Cong Minh , Nguyen Chinh Cuong, Bui Duc Tinh""We use the time-dependent Ginzburg{Landau Lawrence{Doniach model with thermal noise to study angle dependence of electrical conductivity in high Tc superconductor. The electrical conductivity is calculated as temper- ature and magnetic eld in the homogeneous phase. When the magnetic eld is rotated in the plane indicated by the c axis and the direction of the electric current, the theoretical caculation based on the self-consistent Gaussian ap- proximation is used to compare with the experimental data of HgBa2CaCu2O6. Our caculations are in good agreement with the experimental data for temper- atures below Tc and above Tc. In terms of quality, the increase in resistivity brought on by a developing magnetic eld at constant strength is comparable to that brought on by a growing magnetic eld applied orthogonally to the layers. However, as the magnetic eld approaches an orientation parallel to the layers, the e ects of a perpendicular eld obviously di er from those of a tilted eld with the same normal component."

PublicationAsymptotic stability of evolution systems of probability measures for nonautonomous stochastic systems: Theoretical results and applications( 2023)
;Renhai Wang ;Tomás CaraballoNguyen TuanThe limiting stability of invariant probability measures of time homogeneous transition semigroups for autonomous stochastic systems has been extensively discussed in the literature. In this paper we initially initiate a program to study the asymptotic stability of evolution systems of probability measures of time inhomogeneous transition operators for nonautonomous stochastic systems. Two general theoretical results on this topic are established in a Polish space by establishing some sufficient conditions which can be verified in applications. Our abstract results are applied to a stochastic lattice reaction-diffusion equation driven by a time-dependent nonlinear noise. A time-average argument and an extended Krylov-Bogolyubov method due to Da Prato and Röckner [Seminar on stochastic analysis, random fields and applications V, Birkhäuser, Basel, 2008] are employed to prove the existence of evolution systems of probability measures. A mild condition on the time-dependent diffusion function is used to prove that the limit of every evolution system of probability measures must be an evolution system of probability measures of the limiting equation. The theoretical results are expected to be applied to various stochastic lattice systems/ODEs/PDEs in the future.

PublicationBiochar-Based Phosphorus Recovery from Different Waste Streams: Sources, Mechanisms, and Performance( 2023)
;Hai Bang Truong ;Thi Cuc Phuong Tran ;Thi Phuong Nguyen ;Thi Thao Nguyen Nguyen ;Doan Thi Oanh ;Duong Thi ThuyXuan Cuong NguyenElevated phosphorus (P) levels in water sources can result in eutrophication, which in turn causes environmental pollution and adversely affects aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, there is a risk of P depletion due to intensive exploitation and utilization. Therefore, the sustainable and efficient use of P, waste reduction, and P recovery from waste sources have become urgent priorities. This article aims to provide the most current assessments of the P regeneration process and its origins within waste and wastewater. This work also evaluates P recovery, as to its mechanisms, influencing factors, and performance. Moreover, the review presents comprehensive results from pilot and full-scale applications of P recovery. Further perspectives are analyzed, including economic feasibility, potential environmental impacts, research needs, and opportunities for improving P recovery. -
PublicationBuilding the classification model based on the genetic algorithm and the improved Bayesianmethod( 2023)Dinh Pham-Toan, Tai Vo-Van"This study presents a classification model that incorporates significant enhancements based on the Bayesian method and genetic algorithm (BGA). Firstly, the prior probabilities in each iteration are determined using the ratio of the number of elements in each group, obtained through clustering techniques, to the total number of elements in the training set. Secondly, an automatic selection process optimizes the training set to minimize classification errors. Finally, the traditional genetic algorithm operators are improved by utilizing the Bayes error as the objective function. These improvements combine to create an effective classification model. Additionally, the BGA demonstrates effective performance on real data using the established MATLAB procedure. A numerical example illustrates the superiority of the proposed algorithm compared to existing methods. The study also applies the BGA for image classification using the Gabor filter, which extracts essential image features. The proposed model outperforms popular methods in classifying various numerical and image datasets. These applications highlight the potential of this study in real-world scenarios."

;Nguyen Huy Tuan ;Tomás CaraballoTran Ngoc Thach"stochastic evolution equations is studied. Compared with recent studies on such continuity property, the model here is considered in a different point of view in which the equations are of SPDEs type, the solution and the fractional Brownian motion take value on a Hilbert space. The main contribution is to investigate the existence and stability of the solution with respect to the Hurst index in the space C([0, T];L2(Ω,H))." -
Publication"Data‑driven prediction of the shear capacity of ETS‑FRP‑strengthened beams in the hybrid 2PKT–ML approach"( 2023)Thai SonTran, Boonchai Stitmannaithum, LinhVan Hong Bui, Thanh‑Truong Nguyen.A new approach that combines analytical two-parameter kinematic theory (2PKT) with machine learning (ML) models for estimating the shear capacity of embedded through-section (ETS)-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams is proposed. The 2PKT was first developed to validate its representativeness and confidence against the available experimental data of ETS-retrofitted RC beams. Given the deficiency of the test data, the developed 2PKT was utilized to generate a large data pool with 2643 samples. The aim was to optimize the ML algorithms, namely, the random forest, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), light gradient boosting machine, and artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm. The optimized ANN model exhibited the highest accuracy in predicting the total shear strength of ETS-strengthened beams and ETS shear contribution. In terms of predicting the total shear strength of ETS-strengthened beams, the ANN model achieved R2 values of 0.99, 0.98, and 0.96 for the training, validation, and testing data, respectively. By contrast, the ANN model could predict ETS shear contribution with high accuracy, with R2 values of 0.99, 0.99, and 0.97 for the training, validation, and testing data, respectively. Then, the effects of all design variables on the shear capacity of the ETS-strengthened beams were investigated using the hybrid 2PKT–ML. The obtained trends could well appraise the reasonability of the proposed approach.

PublicationDependence of hole’s effective mass on the spin polarization and temperature in quantum well( 2023)Le Van Tan"The effective mass of holes (𝑚∗) in GaAs quantum wells is investigated as a function of spin polarization, temperature, and carrier density using the Hartree–Fock approximation. The results reveal 𝑚∗ initially decreases at low carrier densities before increasing with density. Additionally, as the interaction parameter increases, 𝑚∗ decreases rapidly. Especially, as the temperature rises to 200 K, 𝑚∗ asymptotically approaches a value of 0.45𝑚0, where 𝑚0 is the electron mass. These findings provide insights into the influence of Coulomb interaction and exchange energy on the effective mass of semiconductors across a wide range of temperatures, spin polarizations, and densities"

PublicationEffect of Red Mud and Rice Husk Ash-Based Geopolymer Composites on the Adsorption of Methylene Blue Dye in Aqueous Solution for Wastewater Treatment( 2023)"Khoa Dang Nguyen,* Trang Tran Thu, Anh Thi Hoang Tran, Oanh Thi Kim Le, Suresh Sagadevan, and Noor Haida Mohd Kaus""In this study, geopolymer originating from locally industrial byproducts as red mud (RM) was successfully prepared in the presence of different loadings of rice husk ash (RHA) used for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) in wastewater. During geopolymerization, various mixing amounts between RM and RHA were conducted when the weight ratio of binder solution/ activated alkali-metal solution (Na2SiO3/ NaOH 7 M) was 2.5 and the curing temperature was set at 60 °C for 24 h. As a result, the surface area value of the prepared geopolymer composited with RHA at 0 and 60% was increased from 19.2 to 29.5 m2/g, while the BJH pore size of the prepared geopolymer was reduced to 6.68 and 5.76 nm, respectively. In the dye removal test, higher additions of RHA in the RM-geopolymer maintained better retention of the MB ion due to the increase in the adsorption binding site. The maximum uptake amount of dyes performed at pH 8 was changed from 6.59 to 10.74 mg/g, while RHA was from 0 to 60% after 180 min of immersion in MB solution. The adsorption isotherms well obeyed the Langmuir model, as the relative coefficient R2 was 0.999. Based on these, the initial agricultural waste as RHA and industrial byproducts as RM were valued as functional materials used for dye treatment in wastewater."

PublicationEffect of Gradient Descent Optimizers and Dropout Technique on Deep Learning LSTM Performance in Rainfall‑runoff Modeling( 2023)"Duong Tran Anh, Dat Vi Thanh, Hoang Minh Le, Bang Tran Sy, Ahad Hasan Tanim, Quoc Bao Pham, Thanh Duc Dang, Son T. Mai, Nguyen Mai Dang."Machine learning and deep learning (ML-DL) based models are widely used for rainfall runof prediction and they have potential to substitute process-oriented physics based numerical models. However, developing an ML model has also performance uncertainty because of inaccurate choices of hyperparameters and neural networks architectures. Thus, this study aims to search for best optimization algorithms to be used in ML-DL models namely, RMSprop, Adagrad, Adadelta, and Adam optimizers, as well as dropout tech niques to be integrated into the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) model to improve forecasting accuracy of rainfall-runof modeling. A deep learning LSTMs were developed using 480 model architectures at two hydro-meteorological stations of the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, namely Chau Doc and Can Tho. The model performance is tested with the most ideally suited LSTM optimizers utilizing combinations of four dropout percentages respec tively, 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%. The Adagrad optimizer shows the best model performance in the model testing. Deep learning LSTM models with 10% dropout made the best predic tion results while signifcantly reducing overftting tendency of the forecasted time series. The fndings of this study are valuable for ML-based hydrological models set up by identi fying a suitable gradient descent (GD) optimizer and optimal dropout ratio to enhance the performance and forecasting accuracy of the ML model.

PublicationEvaluation of structural, optical, and magnetic properties of Gd doped MnFe2O4 nanoparticles( 2023)
;Luu Huu Nguyen ;Le The Tam ;Nguyen Hoai Nam ;Do Khanh Tung ;Nguyen Xuan Truong ;Dinh Van Tuan ;Nguyen Van Quynh ;Nguyen Le Minh Tri ;Pham Thanh PhongPham Hong Nam"In this study, the MnFe2O4 doped Gd (MnGdxFe2-xO4 with x = 0, 0.125, 0.25, and 0.5) magnetic nanoparticles were successfully synthesized and revealed the significant effect of Gd content on structural, optical, and magnetic properties. The replacement of Fe3+ ions by ion Gd3+ ions changed the crystallite size from 8.2 nm (x = 0) to 13.5 nm (x = 0.5). The band gap of Gd-doped MnFe2O4 increased with an increase of the x value. The magnetic curves showed that saturation magnetization (MS) and magnetic anisotropy (K) decreased simultaneously with the concentration of Gd3+ ions. The MS value reduced from 54.0 emu/g (MnFe2O4) to 35.4 emu/g (MnGd0.5Fe1.5O4). The K value dropped from 50.4 kJ/m3 (MnGd0.125Fe1.875O4) to 12.3 kJ/m3 (MnGd0.5Fe1.5O4). The substantial reliance of magnetic anisotropy on the doping concentration, namely this large change in K with a little change in size (8.2 nm–13.5 nm), demonstrated that doping is a suitable method for modifying the values of magnetic anisotropy of materials" -
PublicationExistence and continuity results for Kirchhoff parabolic equation with Caputo–Fabrizio operator( 2023)
;Nguyen Huy Tuan ;Anh Tuan NguyenNguyen Huu Can"This paper deals with the solution of the Kirchhoff parabolic equation involving the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative with non-singular kernel. We represent the mild solution by equation operators which are defined via Fourier series. The main results of this work are about the existence, uniqueness and the continuity property with respect to the derivative order of the mild solution. The result of the existence of a solution consists of two parts: The existence of a local solution with a nonlinear source function. The existence of a global solution in the case of a linear source function. To achieve global results, we had to introduce a new space with norm contains weighted function. The key analysis is based on the Banach fixed point theorem and some Sobolev embeddings. The order-continuity problem has two main results: The first result proves the continuity related to order 𝛼 ∈ (0, 1). The remaining results examine the continuity when the fractional order is approaching 1−. Finally, we illustrate the achieved theoretical results by some numerical examples." -

PublicationExistence and well-posed results for nonclassical diffusion systems with nonlocal diffusion( 2023)Nguyen Huy Tuana,b, Donal O’Reganc, Nguyen Huu Cand,∗, Mai Quang Vinhe"Our goal in this paper is to present well-posed results for nonclassical diffusion systems which have applications in population dynamics. First, we establish the existence and uniqueness of a mild solution to the initial value problem. The asymptotic behavior of the mild solution is also considered when the parameter tends to zero. Second, we obtain a local well-posedness result for nonclassical diffusion systems with a nonlocal time condition. The main idea to obtain the above theoretical results is to use Banach’s theorem and some techniques in Fourier series analysis. Some numerical tests are also presented to illustrate the theory."

PublicationFirst-principles prediction of superconductivity in MgB3C3( 2023)
;Truong-Tho PhamDuc-Long Nguyen"From first-principles density functional theory calculations, we propose hexagonal layered MgB3C3 as a potential phonon-mediated superconductor at 59 K, which is far higher than the superconductivity of MgB2 (≈ 39 K). The MgB3C3 is energetically and dynamically stable at ambient pressure in the P-62m hexagonal structure with c/a ≈ 0.79 and forms in stacks of honeycomb B-C layers with Mg as a space filler. Band structure calculations indicate that the bands at the Fermi level derive mainly from B and C orbitals in which two σ and two π bands both contribute to the total density of state. The π bands are found to be strongly coupled with out-of-plane acoustic phonon mode, while the σ bands coupled with the in-plane bond-stretching optical E phonon modes produces a sizable superconductivity in MgB3C3" -
