Opportunities and challenges of digital twins in structural health monitoring
Digital twin (DT) is one of the most modern and promising technologies in realizing smart manufacturing and implementing Industry 4.0. DT offers opportunity to integrate the physical world with digital world with a seamless data source. Civil engineering industry, in general, is facing many challenges in the process of digital transformation to improve efficiency and technology to meet the current growth rate of the economy. DT technology has the potential to transform and improve the exploitation and management of infrastructure in civil engineering, especially in the service phase. Based on DT model, managers and maintenance operators can test different scenarios, improve efficiency, and make accurate decisions in maintenance of the structure, leading to reduction of management and other regular monitoring costs, as well as accurate prediction of risks during the lifespan of the infrastructure. This study presents advances in digital twin implementations in structural health monitoring. This presents the opportunities and challenges of the digital twin in structural health monitoring with current technologies and future directions.The authors acknowledge the financial support of the project research “B2022-GHA-03” of the Ministry of Education and Training.

Artefactual Suboptimal Fixation Effect to Nuclear Staining on Erythrocytes of Lutjanus kasmira (Forsskål 1775)
This research presents the unusual staining characteristic of the teleosts red blood cells–the common bluestripe snapper Lutjanus kasmira, caught at Toc Tan (Allison) Reef, Truong Sa Archipelago, Vietnam, due to side effects of the delayed staining procedure. In addition to the quantitative data measured, the results of microscopic image research showed that, on slides performed with the delayed Romanovsky staining procedure using Giemsa dye, the cell "nucleus" was not dye-stained as seen in the erythrocytes of much other fish. The AFM and SEM images of blood slides show that the structure of the nuclear zone and the nuclear membrane was destroyed. Although methanol is used as one of the common fixatives in biology, the delayed staining still causes artifactual side effects, disrupts the structure of the red blood cell nucleus and can cause confusion when studying cytogenetics
Study to Fabricate the Large Scale Buckypaper Based on Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted great attention because of their unique structural, electrical, mechanical and thermal properties. Then CNTs have potential application as electrode for batteries and supercapacitors, especially binder-free electrodes. The major challenge is to fabricate the large scale electrode with the uniform thickness, electrical property. The large scale CNTs buckypaper can be fabricated via vacuum filtration technique. The characteristics of CNT dispersion and buckypaper depend on variety of factor such as sonication power, sonication time, dispersant…. In this study, we investigate the multiwall carbon nanotubes (MW CNTs) in Isopropanol (IPA) solvent with different sonication conditions, membrane filter size for paper with areal density of 3 mg/cm2 with different sizes such as 4, 10, 20 cm in diameter and large scale of 30x30 cm2. It is observed that the dispersion of CNTs are good and the thickness, conductivity are uniform over whole sample for above sizes. We also can get the highest conductivity of buckypaper was 3.9x103 S/m in 30 mins. It is found that the higher sonication power and higher sonication time are better for buckypaper

MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION-MAKING FOR ELECTRIC BICYCLE SELECTION
Electric bicycle is a vehicle which is used widely in all the citys and provinces
of Vietnam. However, it’s hard to choose “the most suitable” or “the best”
type of electric bicycle because each type has different criteria
(parameters). To choose out the best option, we need to consider all the
alternatives at once. That is called multi-criteria decision-making. This
research used three multi-criteria decision-making methods include SAW
method, MARCOS method and PSI method to choose from seven bestselling types of electric bicycle on the market in 2022. All the methods
which were used chose out the same best electric bicycle type and the same
worst bicycle type. And so, among seven types of electric bicycle which
include M133 mini, M133 Sport 2022, Aima 133AM, Nijia – PA4, DK 133M,
Yadea iGo and Yadea i3, the best type is Aima 133AM, in contrast, Yadea
iGo is considered the worst type. Things that need to be done in the
folowing researches were proposed in the last part of this paper
Microscopic Observation Drug Susceptibility Assay (MODS) for Early Diagnosis of Tuberculosis in Children
MODS is a novel liquid culture based technique that has been shown to be effective and rapid for early diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). We evaluated the MODS assay for diagnosis of TB in children in Viet Nam. 217 consecutive samples including sputum (n = 132), gastric fluid (n = 50), CSF (n = 32) and pleural fluid (n = 3) collected from 96 children with suspected TB, were tested by smear, MODS and MGIT. When test results were aggregated by patient, the sensitivity and specificity of smear, MGIT and MODS against “clinical diagnosis” (confirmed and probable groups) as the gold standard were 28.2% and 100%, 42.3% and 100%, 39.7% and 94.4%, respectively. The sensitivity of MGIT and MODS was not significantly different in this analysis (P = 0.5), but MGIT was more sensitive than MODS when analysed on the sample level using a marginal model (P = 0.03). The median time to detection of MODS and MGIT were 8 days and 13 days, respectively, and the time to detection was significantly shorter for MODS in samples where both tests were positive (P<0.001). An analysis of time-dependent sensitivity showed that the detection rates were significantly higher for MODS than for MGIT by day 7 or day 14 (P<0.001 and P = 0.04), respectively. MODS is a rapid and sensitive alternative method for the isolation of M.tuberculosis from children
Compact X-band (11.24 Ghz) Linac for Cancer Therapy
Monochromatic hard X-ray inspection device based on Compton scattering effect between electron and laser beam is very useful for medical purposes such as for dynamic Intravenous Coronary Arteriography. To realize compact system of the monochromatic hard X-ray source a compact X-band (11.424 GHz) electron linear accelerator (linac) is introduced. The linac have been studied and under designing in Nuclear Engineering Research Laboratory (NERL), the University of Tokyo. X-band thermionic cathode RF gun is used. X-band accelerating structure type of standing wave, pi/2-mode is designed. A 45 MeV electron beam with 20 pC/bunch is generated. In order to simplify in radiation shielding and avoid neutron radiation, we realize deceleration of the electron beam before dumping.9th European Particle Accelerator Conferenc
