Abstract Recent advances in medical imaging and natural language processing enable new opportunities for automated diagnostic support. Chest X-rays (CXRs) remain the most common imaging modality for screening pulmonary, cardiovascular, and systemic diseases; however, the growing volume of studies and free-text reports can overwhelm clinicians. We propose a unified multimodal retrieval and prediction framework that...
Abstract Ethnobotanical relevance Morus alba L. has been reported to exhibit various pharmacological effects, including antipyretic, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory activities, as well as benefits for sore throat relief and eyesight improvement in traditional medicine. Aim of the study This study investigates the anti-inflammatory potential of two prenylated flavonoids isolated from the twigs of Morus...
Abstract Fine particulate-bound mercury (PBM2.5) is being recognized as a public health and environmental issue owing to its high capacity to bioaccumulate and long-range transport. This study investigates PBM2.5 at two urban sites Nguyen Van Cu (NVC) and Linh Trung (LT) and one rural site Can Gio (CG) in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) to assess...
Abstract This study presents a hardware countermeasure that integrates two distinct types of random number generators. Recently, several effective time-based countermeasures against side-channel analysis (SCA) have relied on FPGA-specific primitives, such as Xilinx Digital Clock Managers (DCM) and Mixed-Mode Clock Managers (MMCM). However, these solutions lack portability to ASIC platforms. To address this, we propose...
Abstract The Tam Ky–Phuoc Son Ocean in Central Vietnam, a southern branch of the Prototethyan Ocean, holds critical evidence of Early Paleozoic subduction processes in Southeast Asia. However, the polarity and tectonic evolution of its subduction system remain controversial. Here we present new petrographic observations, zircon U-Pb geochronology, in situ zircon Hf isotopes and whole-rock...
Abstract An efficient and innovative method is presented for the stress-related structural topology optimization (TO) in coupled mechanical-pressure systems by leveraging flexible polygonal meshes. With a polytopal composite finite element approach, the volumetric locking in nearly incompressible materials is reduced. A fluid-flow-based model is built, in which a design-dependent pressure variable is introduced to capture...
Abstract In recent years, the development of low-cost and flexible optoelectronic devices with minimal chemical usage has attracted increasing attention for sustainable development. This study introduces our development of a flexible visible photodetector based on a nanohybrid of copper oxide nanoflakes (2D-CuO) and reduced graphene oxide thin film (rGO), using just five initial materials. Particularly,...
Abstract While biomass burning (BB) significantly affects air quality in Southeast Asia, its contribution to PM2.5 in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam’s most populous city, remains poorly understood. This study aimed to identify the major BB sources contributing to PM2.5 in urban HCMC, with particular attention to the potential underestimation caused by chemical degradation...
Abstract The dark photon is a well motivated candidate for the dark matter that comprises most of the mass of our visible Universe, leading to worldwide experimental and observational efforts toward its discovery. A primary tool in this search is the cavity haloscope, which facilitates resonantly enhanced conversion to photons from both dark photons and...
Abstract Liver cancer remains a major global health challenge, necessitating the development of new therapeutic agents. In this study, a series of 1,2,4,5-tetrasubstituted imidazole derivatives were synthesized via a green, one-pot four-component reaction using the recyclable deep eutectic solvent [Bet]2[PTSA] under solvent-free conditions, affording high yields. Among them, compounds 16d, 16j, and 16n exhibited notable cytotoxicity against...
