Linear topological invariants of spaces of holomorphic functions in infinite dimension

It is shown that if $E$ is a Frechet space with the strong dual $E^*$ then $H_b(E^*)$, the space of holomorphic functions on $E^*$ which are bounded on every bounded set in $E^*$, has the property $(DN)$ when $E\in (DN)$ and that $H_b(E^*)\in(\Omega)$ when $E\in (\Omega)$ and either $E^*$ has an absolute basis or $E$ is a Hilbert-Frechet-Montel space. Moreover the complementness of ideals $J(V)$ consisting of holomorphic functions on $E^*$ which are equal to $0$ on $V$ in $H(E^*)$ for every nuclear Frechet space $E$ with $E\in (DN)\cap (\Omega)$ is stablished when $J(V)$ is finitely generated by continuous polynomials on $E^*$

Experimental Study of Prestressed Concrete Track Slab at Railroad Crossings

Currently, the prestressed concrete track slabs are testing installed at the field to replace the reinforced concrete track slabs at railroad crossings in Vietnam. Prestressed concrete track slabs used for 1000 mm gauge. The dimensions of each slab were designed with a length, width, and height of 2.5 m, 1.0 m, and 0.33m, respectively. This paper presents experimental measurements to analyze the behavior of the prestressed concrete track slab at railroad crossings under the action of train and truck dynamic load. Experiment measurements were implemented at the site. Eight strain gauges were mounted at three sections of the track slab to measure the deformation. HL-93 truck load and TY-7E train load were used in the test. The results show the eccentricity of the gravity center point of the prestressed wires to the centroidal axis of the transformed area. The deviation ratio between experimental and theoretical results is from 0.88% ÷ 1.25%. These results can be used to optimize the design process and limit cracks. In addition, tensile and compressive stresses in slabs are smaller than the allowable values. The results show that this track slab meets the requirements of durability and strength under the action of train and truck dynamic load

Spatio-temporal information system for the geosciences: concepts, data models, software, and applications

The development of spatio–temporal geoscience information systems (TGSIS) as the next generation of geographic information systems (GIS) and geoscience information systems (GSIS) was investigated with respect to the following four aspects: concepts, data models, software, and applications. These systems are capable of capturing, storing, managing, and querying data of geo–objects subject to dynamic processes, thereby causing the evolution of their geometry, topology and geoscience properties. In this study, five data models were proposed. The first data model represents static geo–objects whose geometries are in the 3–dimensional space. The second and third data models represent geological surfaces evolving in a discrete and continuous manner, respectively. The fourth data model is a general model that represents geo–objects whose geometries are n–dimensional embedding in the m–dimensional space R^m, m >= 3. The topology and the properties of these geo–objects are also represented in the data model. In this model, time is represented as one dimension (valid time). Moreover, the valid time is an independent variable, whereas geometry, topology, and the properties are dependent (on time) variables. The fifth data model represents multiple indexed geoscience data in which time and other non–spatial dimensions are interpreted as larger spatial dimensions. To capture data in space and time, morphological interpolation methods were reviewed, and a new morphological interpolation method was proposed to model geological surfaces evolving continuously in a time interval. This algorithm is based on parameterisation techniques to locate the cross–reference and then compute the trajectories complying with geometrical constraints. In addition, the long transaction feature was studied, and the data schema, functions, triggers, and views were proposed to implement the long transaction feature and the database versioning in PostgreSQL. To implement database versioning tailored to geoscience applications, an algorithm comparing two triangulated meshes was also proposed. Therefore, TGSIS enable geologists to manage different versions of geoscience data for different geological paradigms, data, and authors. Finally, a prototype software system was built. This system uses the client/server architecture in which the server side uses the PostgreSQL database management system and the client side uses the gOcad geomodeling system. The system was also applied to certain sample applications

Empirical Investigation of Omni-channel Customer Behavior: Multiple Mediation Effects of Website and Mobile Interactivity

While existing retail research has focused on retail channels in isolation from a single or multi-channel retailing perspective, there is a need to investigate shopping behavioral intention from an omni-channel and customer-centric retailing perspective. The main of this study is to analyze the customer omni-channel behavior under multiple mediating effects of website and mobile interactivity. Data collected from valid 287 respondents via both online and paper form. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and Smart-PLS software have been used to test proposed hypotheses. The result underlined the significant positive effects of technology literacy, attitude towards website interactivity and attitude towards mobile device interactivity on customer’s behavioral intention. Moreover, website interactivity and augmented reality have highest impact attitude towards website interactivity and attitude towards mobile device interactivity respectively

Vietnam research situation analysis on orphans and other vulnerable children

This item is archived in the repository for materials published for the USAID supported Orphans and Vulnerable Children Comprehensive Action Research Project (OVC-CARE) at the Boston University Center for Global Health and Development.Addressing the needs of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and mitigating negative outcomes of the growing OVC population worldwide is a high priority for national governments and international stakeholders across the globe who recognize this as an issue with social, economic, and human rights dimensions. Assembling the relevant available data on OVC in one place, and acknowledging the gaps that still exist in our knowledge, will assist policy makers and program implementers to make evidence-based decisions about how best to direct funding and program activities and maximize positive outcomes for children and their caretakers. This Research Situation Analysis, Vietnam Country Brief presents a program-focused summary of available information on: • The number of orphans and vulnerable children in Vietnam. • Current policies, programs and interventions designed and implemented to assist them. • Gaps in these policies, programs and interventions. • OVC research conducted between 2004 -2008. • Gaps in the OVC evidence base. The Brief analyzes the available data for critical gaps in the national response and our understanding about whether current interventions are fulfilling the needs and improving the lives of vulnerable children. The report then recommends actions required to increase the knowledge base for improving the effectiveness and impact of OVC programs.The USAID | Project SEARCH, Orphans and Vulnerable Children Comprehensive Action Research (OVC-CARE) Task Order, is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development under Contract No. GHH-I-00-07-00023-00, beginning August 1, 2008.

A Study on Derailment at Railway Turnout Using the Multi-body Dynamics Simulation

In this study, the locomotive and the turnout were simulated with three-dimensional models. The purpose of this study is prediction the derailment phenomenon of the locomotive running on the turnout in Vietnam. Multi-body simulations were implemented by SIMPACK software to determine the derailment coefficient, the wheel unloading factor, and the lateral force. The interaction between the locomotive and the track structure at turnout was considered unified. The derailment coefficient, the wheel unloading factor, and the lateral force were calculated for locomotive-D19E at turnout (tg0.15) for 1000 mm gauge according to QCVN 18:2011/BGTVT, EN 14363:2016, and TCVN 8784:2011. The derailment coefficient, the wheel unloading factor, and the lateral force for the locomotive at max speed V=27.8 km/h are 0.94, 0.61, and 67.46 kN, respectively. These results show that the locomotive will not derail when it passes the turnout at a speed V 27.8 km/h

SHEDDING TO GROW: THE COMING DOI MOI 2.0 IN VIETNAM’S FOREIGN POLICY

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to revisit the characteristics of Vietnam’s foreign policy since its renovation in 1986, also known as Doi Moi, and explore its future trajectory in the coming decades. Methodology: This study employs a well-established analytical framework relying on the two-level game theory in foreign policy analysis which denotes that a state’s foreign policy is shaped by both external and domestic factors. Primary data are collected from a wide range of trusted resources and databases and communications of the authors with Vietnamese veteran diplomats and foreign policymakers. Main finding: This article finds that three decades since the launching of Doi Moi in 1986, fundamental principles of Vietnam’s foreign policy remains intact. Because both domestic and external foundations for the initial stage of renovation have fundamentally been replaced by new contexts, Hanoi will likely move towards the so-called Doi Moi 2.0 characterized by greater proactiveness and determination. Applications of this study: This study has implication for policymakers, scholars and experts in the disciplines and subfields of politics, international relations, foreign policy analysis given that Vietnam has been well known for its significant achievements in its diplomatic relations after the Cold War and it is playing a growing role in regional and international affairs. The originality of this study: This study makes an original contribution to the existing literature of Vietnam’s foreign policy because it digs into an issue where only a few numbers of scholars have touched upon and provides a comprehensive analysis of the factors influencing Hanoi’s mindset, shaping Vietnam’s national interests and formulating Vietnam’s foreign policy in the coming decades

Economic Instruments and the Pollution Impact of the 2006-2010 Vietnam Socio-Economic Development Plan

The current study derives optimal growth paths for pollution emission charges, in order to control future water pollution emissions in the Vietnamese manufacturing sector. The study builds on a prior study, which estimated the manufacturing sector pollution impact of the 2006- 2010 SEDP development plan for Vietnam (Jensen et al.; 2008). The current study demonstrates that effective implementation and moderate expansion of optimal emission charges, under certain conditions, could have been used, as part of the 2006-2010 SEDP development plan, to control pollution emissions at 2005 levels. Moreover, such a scenario would have been accompanied by a moderate expansion in fiscal revenues and a relatively minor economy-wide efficiency loss. The current study, therefore, suggests that effective implementation and gradual expansion of pollution emission charges should be incorporated into future SEDP development plans, in order to control pollution emissions as development progresses in Vietnam.Vietnam, manufacturing, CGE
