Measures to Protect the River/channel Bank in Mekong Delta Towards Soft, Ecology and Environment-friendly Engineering

The Mekong Delta is faced with the erosion of river/channel banks occurring on a large scale and at complicated and serious level, causing great losses to land, houses, property of the people, infrastructure, public works built on river/channel banks. This article presents some new technological measures towards soft, ecology and environment-friendly engineering for the protection of banks. The results of the pilot implementation of the soft measures in Tien Giang in 2014 and Ho Chi Minh city in 2017 have proved the feasibility of the measures because of low cost, simple construction, sustainable and environmentally friendly structure. These measures can be widely applied in localities in the Mekong Delta with the same conditions

A Knowledge Graph Approach for the Detection of Digital Human Profiles in Big Data

Digital transformation is a long process that changes the managing human profiles in both offline and online approaches. This generates the amount of huge data stored in both relational databases and many others like social networks or graph databases. To exploit effectively big data, several measures and algorithms in Picture Fuzzy Graph (PFG) are applied to solve many complex problems in the real-world problems. The paper has presented a novel approach using a knowledge graph to find a human profile including the detection of humans in large data. In the proposed model, digital human profiles are collected from conventional databases combination with social networks in real-time, and a knowledge graph is created to represent complex-relational user attributes of human profile in large datasets. PFG is applied to quantify the degree centrality of nodes. Furthermore, techniques and algorithms on the graph are used to classify the nodes. The experiments in the knowledge graph implemented to illustrate the proposed model. The main contribution in this paper is to identify the right persons among complex-relational groups, locations in real-time based on large datasets on the social networks, relational databases and graph databases

Coastal Erosion Caused by River Mouth Migration on a Cuspate Delta: An Example from Thanh Hoa, Vietnam

Coastal erosion poses a significant threat to the infrastructure of the coastal community at the mouth of the Ma River in Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam. In response, emergency solutions such as hard, protective structures are often implemented. However, this approach exacerbates the problem as the underlying mechanisms of coastal erosion are not adequately investigated and understood. In this study, the long-term configuration of the mouth of the Ma River in Thanh Hoa Province, Central Vietnam, is investigated using Landsat imagery spanning from 1987 to 2023. An analytical solution of a one-line model for shoreline change was also used to examine the sand discharge from the Ma River and the diffusion coefficient for the sand transported along the shore by breaking waves. The results showed an asymmetric configuration of the mouth of the Ma River over the past 37 years. The supply of sand from the Ma River is around 350,000 m3/year. The majority of sand (ranging from 55% to 75%) is mainly transported to the northern beach of the Ma River delta. This uneven distribution of sand from the Ma River has led to the asymmetrical morphology of the delta apex in which the northern part of the Ma River delta is experiencing northward movement while the southern part of the Ma River Delta is moving southward and landward. The asymmetrical morphology of the delta at the mouth of the Ma River has recently been identified as the cause of severe coastal erosion. The diffusion coefficient value determined for the transportation of longshore sand along the deltaic lobes of the Ma River delta corresponds to 90 m2/day. This study offers a practical method for investigating morphological changes in cuspate deltas, especially when measured field data are limited
