: The Mekong delta (MD) of Vietnam rests at the end of the lower Mekong basin (LMB) where it is met with serious adverse effects from all upstream activities with severe consequences like landslides and complicated subsidence phenomena. Researchers agree that the main reason for these consequences are the lack of sediment deposited in MD due to the absence of floods and upstream hydropower development. To better understand the causes of the above phenomena, research on the transboundary impact between Vietnam and Cambodia in the MD was carried out [1] . This article develops more reliable scientific evidence of the impacts of upstream water use on the economic, social, and environmental factors of its four national members. It also scientifically demonstrates the transboundary impacts of upstream hydropower and irrigation developments in LMB such as the decline of sediment and the extreme decline of the quantity/yield from natural fisheries under all development scenarios.

: An inducer-free expression vector for the low expression levels in Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) is necessary for fundamental research. In this study, we constructed inducer-free expression plasmids carrying P spac , a well-known IPTG-inducible promoter, by removing a part of the lacI gene. Then, we analysed the expression of the target genes bgaB and gfp + in B. subtilis. Western blot experiments demonstrated that the reporters from the inducer-free plasmids with P spac could be produced at low levels in B. subtilis strains and were equivalent to their corresponding inducible constructs with 1 mM IPTG. The reporter activities showed that inducer-free expression from the P spac promoter was dramatically less than that of the inducer-free plasmids with the strong promoters P grac 01 and P grac 100 reported previously, about 16.2 to 20.3 times for BgaB and 24.7 to 34.3 times for GFP + , respectively. In conclusion, the inducer-free expression vectors carrying P spac promoters allow the constitutive expression of heterologous recombinant proteins at low levels in B. subtilis .

: In this study, a co-digestion pilot scale study of a mixture of domestic wastewater and the organic fraction of food waste using an anaerobic membrane bioreactor was developed. The results show that the removal efficiencies of the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS) were high and reached more than 90%. However, the removal of nitrogen and phosphate was not remarkable. The daily biogas yield reached 2.12 m 3 /d. The obtained biogas per COD removed was 0.22 m 3 /kgCOD removed . The average generated methane yield was 1.33 m 3 /d, which is equivalent to 0.14 m 3 /kgCOD removed . A high efficiency of organic compound removal combined with a large amount of retained nutrients and high biogas yield suggests the results of this pilot scale study can be practically applied to the recovery of nutrients for agricultural use along with biogas for cooking. These benefits remarkably reduce environmental pollution, especially for decentralized residential areas and independent-stationed military units located far from concentrated wastewater treatment plants.

For AD patients with a severely damaged brain, health care costs are estimated to be hundreds of billions of dollars each year. Currently, no cure for AD is available, but medicines such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are employed to temporarily reduce the symptoms of AD patients although they have significant side effects. Development of effective treatments/drugs with fewer undesirable effects is critically important.

As a natural biofertilizer, cyanobacteria’s ability to fix N 2 improves the growth and yield of crops through the production of growth promoters such as gibberellins, cytokinins, auxins, vitamins, antibiotics and amino acids [4]. Abstract: Black gram ( Vigna mungo L.) is a high nutrient pulse crop. Its seed quickly and easily deteriorates after harvest, resulting in poor planting material production that must be improved accordingly by seed enhancement methods. The blue-green microalgae Spirulina platensis contains variously beneficial substances, including macro and micro nutrients, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants. The aim of this study is to improve the vigour and germination of black gram by priming its seeds with Spirulina platensis extract to prevent seed deterioration. Medium vigour black gram seeds were subjected to hydropriming for three hours (T 2 ); other seeds were primed with Spirulina platensis extract at 1.5% for three hours (T 3 ) while unprimed seeds served as control (T 1 ). Then, the seeds were artificially aged under 40±1 o C and 95±5% relative humidity for five days. The results revealed that the hydropriming and control of black gram seeds were significantly lower in all physiological and biochemical seed quality parameters than seeds primed with Spirulina platensis extract at 1.5% for three hours. Consequently, Spirulina platensis extract can effectively enhance black gram seeds and use agents in.

: Objective: to describe the clinical characteristics and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressures on high-resolution manometry (HRM) in patients with achalasia pre- and post-treatment. Methods: a case series study was conducted in achalasia patients. Clinical symptoms, Eckardt score, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, esophageal barium swallow, and HRM results were collected on baseline and Eckardt score and HRM results on follow-up were collected. Results: from June 2018 to December 2019, 14 patients were recruited including 6 males and 8 females with mean age of 34.6±10.5 y. The proportion of achalasia type I, II, and III were 28.6, 64.3, and 7.1%, respectively. The Eckardt score, LES resting pressure (for both baseline period and swallow phase) and 4-s integrated resting pressure (IRP4s) significantly decreased after treatment (p<0.05). There was a correlation between pre-treatment LES resting pressure (in swallow phase) and change in chest pain score (p=0.044, r=0.546) and a correlation between pre-treatment IRP4s and change in Eckardt score (p=0.041, r=0.549). IRP4s had no significant difference between treatment success and recurrence groups. After treatment, 11 patients had clinical success and 3 patients recurred/failed after a median of 4 mo. The diagnosis on HRM after treatment included 5 achalasia (4 type I and 1 type II), 1 esophagogastric junction outflow obstruction (EGJOO), 1 distal esophageal spasm (DES), 6 absent contractility, and 1 ineffective esophageal motility (IEM). Conclusion: Eckardt score, LES pressure, and IRP4s improved significantly after treatment. Besides the role of classification and treatment option, HRM could be used to predict the treatment outcome in achalasia.

Moreover, we also investigated N 2 O conversion, which occurred simultaneously with CH 4 oxidation, during gas treatment in the biofilter. Abstract: A biofilter using organic (compost) and inorganic (pumice, porous silica pellet or poremat) media was applied to the removal of methane (CH 4 ) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) to minimize the impact of off-gasses from municipal solid waste disposal global. The objective was to determine the appropriate biofilter media for CH 4 oxidation and N 2 O conversion. The off gas (59.6% CH 4 , 1.0% N 2 O) was fed simultaneously with air (1:3 ratio) into the biofilter. CH 4 oxidation and N 2 O conversion rates were observed over a 101-day period through the analysis of gas concentration along the biofilter’s depth using gas chromatography. Higher CH 4 oxidation in the biofilters containing organic and inorganic media was achieved, especially for the compost-poremat biofilter with 70.1 g CH 4 /m 3 /d realised. The most active methane oxidation zone was found near the gas inlet at the bottom of the biofilter. The presence of inorganic material helped promote aerobic conditions for CH 4 oxidation, especially during the initial period. N 2 O was also more completely removed with the biofilter containing inorganic media. Higher methanotrophic activities in matured biofilter media and the presence of methanotrophs type I, which prefer oxygen-rich conditions, were confirmed.
此外,我们还研究了生物过滤器中气体处理过程中与CH 4氧化同时发生的N 2o转化。摘要/ Abstract摘要:采用有机(堆肥)和无机(浮石、多孔二氧化硅颗粒或多孔岩)介质的生物过滤器去除甲烷(ch4)和氧化亚氮(n2o),以最大限度地减少全球城市生活垃圾处理废气的影响。目的是确定适合甲烷氧化和一氧化氮转化的生物过滤介质。废气(59.6% CH 4, 1.0% N 2o)与空气(1:3比例)同时进入生物滤池。通过气相色谱法分析沿生物过滤器深度的气体浓度,观察了101天的CH 4氧化率和N 2o转化率。在含有有机和无机介质的生物过滤器中实现了更高的CH 4氧化,特别是在堆肥-孔粪生物过滤器中实现了70.1 g CH 4 / m3 /d。最活跃的甲烷氧化区位于生物滤池底部的进气口附近。无机物的存在有助于促进甲烷氧化的好氧条件,特别是在初始阶段。含无机介质的生物滤池对氮氧的去除也更彻底。成熟的生物过滤培养基中有较高的甲烷营养活性,并且存在喜欢富氧条件的I型甲烷营养菌。

: To study community-based water resource management (CbWRM) of irrigation for agriculture, the participation of the community in the management of the irrigation system must be considered. CbWRM is the cooperation between a farming organization (the water-using cooperative group) and state-related organizations (such as the Department of Water Resources Management and commune-level authorities) in the process of the operation and management of water. In the CbWRM model, the community participates in the selection and election of the management board, meetings to collect ideas to build a CbWRM model, and financial contributions to water use fees. The community also participates in the annual operational planning of water use. Therefore, this study aimed to develop indicators to assess the sustainability of the CbWRM model of irrigation for agriculture in the Hau Giang province, Vietnam. With an assessment result of 0.54 (relatively sustainable), this study shows a picture of water resource management in general and community participation in particular. These research results can help managers and policymakers promote community participation to achieve high-efficiency water resource management in the agriculture of the Hau Giang province.

extraction and CMC production. Abstract: Cellulose and hemicellulose were successfully extracted from Vietnamese rice straw waste. The maximum hemicellulose yield of the process was 22.60% with 1.5 M NaOH at 90 o C for 1.5 h. The pure cellulose obtained from the rice straw was prepared by refluxing the rice straw powder with a 1.0 M HNO 3 solution at 90 o C for 1.5 h. The Vietnamese rice straw cellulose was converted to carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) by etherification. The extracted cellulose was soaked in a mixed solution of isopropyl alcohol and NaOH solution for 1.5 h. After that, it was reacted with monochloroacetic acid at 70 o C for 1.5 h. The optimum conditions for carboxymethylation were 5 g cellulose, 4.0 g monochloroacetic acid, and 15 ml 25% w/v NaOH and the obtained product had a degree of substitution (DS) of 0.70.
