In the current work, we study a Cauchy problem for a time-fractional pseudo-parabolic equation with a globally Lipschitz source term. We prove the unique existence of a mild solution to the problem, by the common Banach fixed point theorem. This solution is then verified that exists globally in time by Gr¨onwall’s inequality. Compare to previous works about the similar issuse, we approach in a way that does not require using weighted spaces. Although our approach share a similar spirit to previous studies, our method seems to be more precise and natural.
In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet problem for a wave equation of Kirchhoff- Carrier type with a nonlinear viscoelastic term. It consists of two main parts. In Part 1, we establish existence and uniqueness of a weak solution by applying the Faedo- Galerkin method and the standard arguments of density corresponding to the regularity of initial conditions. In Part 2, we give a sufficient condition for the global existence and exponential decay of the weak solutions by defining a modified energy functional together with the technique of Lyapunov functional.
The report deals with the Robin problem for a nonlinear wave equation with viscoelastic term. Under some suitable conditions, we establish a high-order iterative scheme and then prove that the scheme converges to the weak solution of the original problem along with the error estimate. This result extends the result in [9].
In this paper, we study the Robin-Dirchlet problem (Pn) for a wave equation with the term 1 n Xn i=1 u2( i−1 n , t), n ∈ N. First, for each n ∈ N, under suitable conditions, we prove the local existence and uniqueness of the weak solution un of (Pn). Next, we prove that the sequence of solutions un of (Pn) converges strongly in appropriate spaces to the weak solution u of the problem (P), where (P) is defined by (Pn) by replacing 1 n Xn i=1 u2( i−1 n , t) by Z 1 0 u2(y, t)dy. The main tools used here are the linearization method together with the Faedo-Galerkin method and the weak compact method. We end the paper with a remark related to a similar problem.
In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet boundary problem for a nonlinear wave equation of Kirchhoff-Carrier-Love type as follow   utt − B ? ∥u(t)∥2 , ∥ux(t)∥2 (uxx + uxxtt) = f(x, t, u, ux, ut, uxt) + Xp i=1 εifi(x, t, u, ux, ut, uxt) for 0 < x < 1, 0 < t < T, u(0, t) = u(1, t) = 0, u(x, 0) = ˜u0(x), ut(x, 0) = ˜u1(x), (1) where ˜u0, ˜u1, B, f, fi (i = 1, · · · , p) are given functions, ε1, · · · , εp are small parameters and ∥u(t)∥2 = Z 1 0 u2 (x, t) dx, ∥ux(t)∥2 = Z 1 0 u2 x (x, t) dx. First, a declaration of the existence and uniqueness of solutions provided by the linearly approximate technique and the Faedo-Galerkin method is presented. Then, by using Taylor’s expansion for the functions B, f, fi, i = 1, · · · , p, up to (N + 1)th order, we establish a high-order asymptotic expansion of solutions in the small parameters ε1, · · · , εp.
In this paper, we restate some applications of logarithms in Richter scale, pH scale and sound intensity level (Decibel scale).
In this paper, we are interested in the problem of determining the source function forthe Sobolev equation with fractional Laplacian. This problem is non-well-posed. We show theerror estimate between the exact solution and the regularized solution with the observed data in Lb spaces.
In this work, we study the problem of finding the source function of the inhomogeneous diffusion equations with conformable derivative c∂α t u−Δu = f(x), 0 < α < 1, associate with random noisy input data. This problem is ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard. In order to regulate the instablity of the solution, we applied the truncation method and estimated the error estimate between the exact solution and the regularized solution.
Enzymes are biodegradable catalysts naturally present in living organisms. Enzymes can accelerate biochemical reactions by reducing the activation energy, and they are not consumed during reaction processes. Numerous applications of enzymes have been developed in biotechnology, industry, medicine, pharmaceuticals, food processing, biofuels, and so on. In this study, we develop a mathematical model describing enzymatic reactions with a Ping-Pong mechanism and competitive substrate inhibition. In order to obtain insights into the model behaviors, we use Python software to obtain numerical solutions for the model. Some discussions on the numerical results is provided. Finally, we briefly discuss a potential application of the model and some future work.
In this paper, a high-order iterative scheme is established in order to get a convergent sequence at a rate of order N, (N ≥ 2) to a local unique weak solution of a nonlinear Kirchhoff-type wave equation associated with Robin conditions.

In this study, the author researches the numerical results of the comparison of synchronization speed of regular neural networks with unidirectional and bidirectional coupling. Each neuron is linearly coupled with the others and is represented by a reaction-diffusion system of FitzHugh-Nagumo type. The result shows that the necessary coupling strength for the synchronization in two cases decreases when the coupling number of neurons increases. In other words, the bigger the coupling number of neurons in the regular networks is, the easier the synchronization occurs. Moreover, synchronizing the regular networks with bidirectional coupling is easier than the one with unidirectional coupling over the same given number of neurons.
Plagiarism is a very common problem in many universities. A lot of students plagiarize unconsciously because they don't understand the concept. The study will clarify the concept of plagiarism, as well as ways for universities to help their students avoid the habit of plagiarism.

Ficus hispida L.f. (FH) is among the widely cultivated tree species in Asian regions. The aim of this work was to determine phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant, in vitro anti-inflammatory activities of FH extracts prepared with methanol (ME), ethanol (ET) and ethyl acetate (EA). The extract obtained from ethyl acetate contained the highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents (92.75 +/- 5.14 mg GAE/g and 5.67 +/- 0.65 mg QE/g), followed by ME and ET. The capacity to scavenge ABTS free radical of the extracts followed the order: EA > ME > ET while their DPPH activity differed insignificantly. The inhibitory effect of EA and ME (IC¬50 = 362.84 +/- 29.05 and 386.95 +/- 11.10 ug/mL, respectively) were higher than that of ET. Correlation analysis showed a high positive correlation between total phenolic content and ABTS activity. The findings of the study would be useful for development of new nature-derived agents for prevention and treatment of diseases.

This study deals with the stiffness design of geometrically nonlinear structures using topology optimization. Bi-directional Evolutionary Structures Optimization (BESO) is employed to implement the design process. The geometrically nonlinear behavior of the structures are modeled using a total Lagrangian finite element formulation and the equilibrium is found using a Newton-Raphson iterative scheme. The topology optimization of linear and nonlinear modeling are implemented. The sensitivity of the objective function is found with the adjoint method and the optimization problem is solved using BESO’s update method. Objective function of complementary work is evaluated. A special technique called the continuation method is applied to solve the instability of nonlinear structure optimization. ANSYS APDL is also used to do FEA of optimal topology to verify the effectiveness of geometrically nonlinear modelling. The results show that differences in stiffness of structures optimized using linear and nonlinear modelling is generally small but it can be large in some cases, especially structure highly involving buckling behaviour.

Glioma is a deadly tumor that accounts for the majority of malignancies of the brain and central nervous system. Currently, applying biomarkers and combining with clinical treatments in the diagnosis and prognosis of Glioma is the optimal trend. Among the effective biomarkers, microRNA has emerged as a novel, efficient biomarker. In this study, we used data from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genome and Gene Routes Database (KEGG) and bioinformatics tools for functional prediction and annotation of two Glioma-associated molecules (miR-6780a-5p and miR-6754-3p). The result indicated that 361 genes relating with two molecules miR-6780a-5p and miR-6754-3p. In which, miR-6780a-5p interacts with 198 genes and miR-6754-3p interacts with 166 genes. PPI analysis (protein-protein interaction analysis) and functional enrichment analysis revealed that target molecules of two miRNAs (miR-6780a-5p, miR-6754-3p) belong to cancer signaling pathways such as MAPK (Mitogen-activated protein kinase) and WNT (Wingless-related integration site). In addition, two miRNAs (miR-6780a-5p and miR-6754-3p) affect not only Glioma but also regulation in many other cancers such as pancreatic, thyroid, and endometrial cancer. Briefly, the result has clarified the role of (miR-6780a-5p, miR-6754-3p) in regulating signaling pathway of Glioma, thereby evaluating the interaction between miRNAs, target genes and target signaling pathways, and also supporting for the selection of potential biomarkers in Glioma diagnosis
In this paper, we consider initial value problems for nonlinear fractional equations where source functions may discontinuous. We obtain the existence and uniqueness of maximal mild solutions of the problem. We also give some appropriate conditions such that mild solutions of the problem blow-up at a finite time. Furthermore, we discuss the continuous dependence of mild solutions of the problem with respect to fractional order.
This article presents the results of a study on the current application of Project-based learning (PBL) in the teaching of English productive skills to students at the Foreign Trade University - Ho Chi Minh City Campus and how students can improve them. The research also provides insights into the expectations of students and entrepreneurs on that matter. The research group used the 5-point Likert scale in a questionnaire to collect data from students and interviewed FTU - HCMC’s English teachers and entrepreneurs to give further suggestions. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to analyze whether or not there is a significant difference in students’ English productive skills before and after using PBL in English language learning. This study found a significant difference in speaking skills of FTU - HCMC students before and after participating in PBL activities. The students improved their comprehension, range and the ability to deliver their ideas to the target reader for writing skills. However, no difference was found in their content, cohesion, and accuracy. Interviewed teachers and entrepreneurs supported the implementation of PBL in schools. Overall, PBL is encouraged in the settings of higher education institutions.
Vietnamese immigrants in the United States encounter a variety of acculturation issues that affect them as individuals, families, and as members of their communities. It is evidenced in the literature that low-socio status immigrants suffered from those acculturation challenges. However, there is scant research on how acculturation affects high-socio status immigrants in general and Vietnamese American immigrants in particular. To better understand how high-educated Vietnamese families coped with acculturation in the United States, this research used semi-structured interviews to examine the acculturation issues they encountered and the techniques they utilized to overcome those issues. Four well-educated participants were interviewed one-on-one for 20-30 minutes each by Google Meet in Vietnamese whenever they were available. The interviews were transcribed using unfocused transcription, and the data was analyzed using grounded theory technique. Results showed that high-educated Vietnamese immigrants in the United States face three major acculturation challenges: orientation, the necessity of better economic and self-esteem needs. However, women seemed to be under more acculturative stress owing to their lower levels of English proficiency and work satisfaction, according to the findings. In terms of coping methods, the husbands use integration acculturation tactics to deal with their issues. Separation methods were adopted by the women at various periods in their life, despite the fact that they are eager to become fully integrated members of American culture. They are unable to do so due to a lack of urgency and lack of access to cultural integration.
