    Get PDF
    Background: E-commerce websites have been established expressly as useful online communication platforms, which is rather significant. Through them, users can easily perform online transactions such as shopping or ordering food and sharing their experiences or feedback. Objectives: Customers\u27 views and sentiments are also analyzed by businesses to assess consumer behavior or a point of view on certain products or services. Methods/Approach: This research proposes a method to extract customers\u27 opinions and analyse sentiment based on a collected dataset, including 236,867 online Vietnamese reviews published from 2011 to 2020 on foody.vn and diadiemanuong.com. Then, machine learning models were applied and assessed to choose the optimal model. Results: The proposed approach has an accuracy of up to 91.5 percent, according to experimental study findings. Conclusions: The research results can help enterprise managers and service providers get insight into customers\u27 satisfaction with their products or services and understand their feelings so that they can make adjustments and correct business decisions. It also helps food e-commerce managers ensure a better e-commerce service design and delivery

    Air Emission Inventory

    Emission inventory (EI) is a comprehensive listing of pollutants from all sources in a geo-graphical area during a period of time. The development of EI database is very important to air quality management and helps us to find out main sources. In general, to develop a reliable EI for one specific area, the following steps are involved: (i) list the types of sources, (ii) determine the types of air pollutant emission from each of the listed sources, (iii) find out the emission factor (EF) for each of the concerned pollutants, (iv) determine the number and size of specific sources in the area, and (v) multiply the appropriate numbers from step (iii) and (iv) to obtain the total emissions and then sum up the similar emissions to obtain the total for the area. With emission inventory, we can define the main sources in the study area and have the best solution for clean air action. Besides, the result from EIs can be used to study in other sectors related to human health, economic loss from air pollution, etc. This chapter will describe the method for development of an air emission inventory for developing and developed countries

    Nearly isotropic upper critical fields in a SrFe1.85_{1.85}Co0.15_{0.15}As2_{2} single crystal

    We study temperature dependent upper critical field Hc2H_{\rm c2} of a SrFe1.85_{1.85}Co0.15_{0.15}As2_{2} single crystal (\textit{Tc_c}=20.2 K) along \textit{ab}-plane and \textit{c}-axis through resistivity measurements up to 50 T. For the both crystalline directions, Hc2H_{\rm c2} becomes nearly isotropic at zero temperature limit, reaching \sim 48 T. The temperature dependence of the Hc2H_{\rm c2} curves is explained by interplay between orbital and Pauli limiting behaviors combined with the two band effects.Comment: Proceedings of M2S-IX, Tokyo 200

    A Case Study of Characteristics of Damages Caused by Typhoon EWINIAR 2006 in South Korea

    During recent years, the climate of Korea has clearly been divided between dry season and rainy season due to the global warming and other reasons, and a record breaking rain is falling every year. The mountain slopes in Korea receives significant damage generally during the seasons of high rain front and typhoon. In 2006, the rainy season started in July and Typhoon EWINIAR which hit South Korea between July 26 and 28 caused significant damage to various slopes and roads. This paper presents a case study of the damages and characteristics of the damages to cut slopes, fill slopes, and roads caused by the concentrated heavy rains for 3 days in the regions of Inje and YangYang

    ObjectiveC-reactive protein (CRP) is an independent risk factor for renal allograft loss and predicts all-cause mortality in kidney transplantation patients. Metabolic syndrome has also been associated with increased mortality in kidney transplantation patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between CRP and metabolic syndrome in kidney transplantation patients.Materials and MethodsFasting blood samples were obtained from 55 kidney transplantation patients. Metabolic syndrome and its components were defined using diagnostic criteria from the International Diabetes Federation.ResultsIn total, 13 kidney transplantation patients (23.6%) had metabolic syndrome. Fasting CRP levels positively correlated with metabolic syndrome (p = 0.001). Univariate linear regression analysis indicated that fasting serum CRP values were positively correlated with body weight (p = 0.001), waist circumference (p = 0.008), body mass index (p < 0.001), and body fat mass (p = 0.042). Multivariate forward stepwise linear regression analysis of the significant variables showed that body mass index (β = 0.455, R2 = 0.207, p < 0.001) was an independent predictor of serum CRP levels in kidney transplantation patients.ConclusionCRP level positively correlated with metabolic syndrome in kidney transplantation patients. Body mass index was an independent predictor of serum CRP levels in kidney transplantation patients

    High power, ultra-broadband supercontinuum source based on highly GeO2 doped silica fiber

    We demonstrate a 74 mol % GeO2 doped fiber for mid-infrared supercontinuum generation. Experiments ensure a highest output power for a broadest spectrum from 700nm to 3200nm from this fiber, while being pumped by a broadband 4 stage Erbium fiber based MOPA. The effect of repetition rate of pump source and length of Germania-doped fiber has also been investigated. Further, Germania doped fiber has been pumped by conventional Silica based photonic crystal fiber supercontinuum source. At low power, a considerable broadening of 200-300nm was observed. Further broadening of spectrum was limited due to limited power of pump source. Our investigations reveal the unexploited potential of Germania doped fiber for mid-infrared supercontinuum generation. This measurement ensures a possibility of Germania based photonic crystal fiber or a step-index fiber supercontinuum source for high power ultra-broad band emission being pumped a 1060nm or a 1550nm laser source. To the best of our knowledge, this is the record power, ultra-broadband, and all-fiberized SC light source based on Silica and Germania fiber ever demonstrated to the date
