2026-02-25T05:23:10+07:00

This study investigates the effects of GA₃ concentrations on seed germination and nursery performance, and establishes seedling quality standards for seed-propagated Stemona tuberosa Lour. Seeds were subjected to four treatments: distilled water (control) and GA₃ solutions at 5, 10, and 15 ppm. Treatment with 5 ppm GA₃ produced the highest germination rate (61.0%) and nursery-ready seedling rate (60.3%). Seedlings in this treatment exhibited increased plant height and shoot number relative to the control, whereas leaf number and root development showed no statistically significant differences. Seedling quality was further assessed across five transplanting ages—90, 105, 120, 135, and 150 days and plant survival and early field growth were evaluated 60 days after transplanting. The results identified 120-day-old seedlings as the optimal age for field establishment. These seedlings demonstrated consistent and robust performance, with the following characteristics: an average of 2 shoots, a plant height of 10.80 cm, 5.67 true leaves, a stem diameter of 2.11 mm, 3.67 primary tuberous roots, an average root length of 5.1 cm, and a root diameter of 4.25 cm. Overall, the findings provide a solid empirical basis for enhancing seed-based propagation practices and standardizing seedling quality for S. tuberosa cultivation.

Investigation of material and chemical composition of wet wipes used in restaurants and hotels in Hung Yen province

2026-02-25T05:12:16+07:00

Wet wipes are indispensable hygiene products in restaurants and hotels, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes during dining. Despite their widespread use, there has been little scientific evaluation regarding the material composition and chemical safety of these products in Vietnam. This study aimed to assess the fiber materials and chemical indicators of wet wipes used in restaurants and hotels in Hung Yen province. A total of five representative samples were randomly collected from 204 food service establishments. The samples were analyzed for fiber type, pH value, formaldehyde content, and the presence of optical brighteners (OBs). The results indicated that all samples were composed of 100% polyester fibers, with soaking solution pH values ranging from 7.0 to 7.5. Neither formaldehyde nor optical brighteners were detected in any sample. These findings suggest that the surveyed wet wipes meet current chemical safety requirements and are generally safe for consumer use. However, the exclusive use of non-biodegradable polyester materials raises environmental concerns due to the generation of microplastics after disposal. The study therefore recommends that manufacturers adopt eco-friendly and biodegradable materials such as viscose or lyocell to enhance both product quality and environmental sustainability.

Simulation of governor operating models in a tidal power generation control system using MATLAB/SIMULINK

2026-02-25T05:15:32+07:00

Tidal power generation systems require precise frequency and power control to ensure stable operation under dynamic load conditions. This study presents a simulation-based analysis of the governor operation within a tidal power generation control system. The main objective is to investigate the frequency regulation characteristics and power stability performance of the system when subjected to load variations. The simulation model was developed on the Matlab/Simulink platform, allowing detailed examination of five operating modes of the governor: (i) no-load operation, (ii) loaded operation without power feedback, (iii) operation with power feedback, (iv) operation with set-point power control, and (v) a combined mode incorporating both power feedback and set-point control. The results provide insights into the dynamic behavior of the governor under different control configurations and demonstrate the importance of coordinated feedback and set-point regulation for maintaining power stability. The findings of this study can serve as a useful reference for the design and selection of hydraulic turbines, generators, and control strategies in tidal power plants.

A study of the “House-on-Bridge” architectural type through the case of the “Khong Bridge” relic in Ninh Binh

2026-02-25T04:53:55+07:00

The article focuses on studying a unique architectural form known as the “House-on-Bridge” a characteristic feature of the former Sơn Nam territory, which combines transportation functions with architectural, cultural, and spiritual elements. One representative example is the heritage site “Không Bridge” (now located in Bắc Lý Commune, Ninh Bình Province). According to the historical record Khâm ban đồng bài (Imperially bestowed bronze plaque), the bridge was constructed during the reign of King Lê Thánh Tông. It originally consisted of 21 compartments, featured ironwood columns, a tiled roof, and a central shrine dedicated to a deity. At present, the local authorities still preserve the historical manuscript (dated to the 15th century), which includes a photograph taken in 1939 and a remaining ironwood (lim) column. Therefore, studying the values of Không Bridge provides significant scientific foundations for its original reconstruction and for connecting surrounding heritage sites, thereby contributing to the development of cultural and spiritual tourism in the locality.
