Training of Trainers for Primary English Teachers in Viet Nam: Stakeholder Evaluation

Healthcare use for diarrhoea and dysentery in actual and hypothetical cases, Nha Trang, Viet Nam.

To better understand healthcare use for diarrhoea and dysentery in Nha Trang, Viet Nam, qualitative interviews with community residents and dysentery case studies were conducted. Findings were supplemented by a quantitative survey which asked respondents which healthcare provider their household members would use for diarrhoea or dysentery. A clear pattern of healthcare-seeking behaviours among...

Improving the Rao-Nam secret key cryptosystem using regular EDF-QC-LDPC codes

This paper proposes an efficient joint secret key encryption-channel coding cryptosystem, based on regular Extended Difference Family Quasi-Cyclic Low-Density Parity-Check codes. The key length of the proposed cryptosystem decreases up to 85 percent using a new efficient compression algorithm. Cryptanalytic methods show that the improved cryptosystem has a significant security advantage over Ra...

HOD in natural models of AD+

The goal of this paper is to compute the full HOD of models of AD of the form L(℘(R)) below “ADR + Θ is regular”. As part of this computation, we give a computation of HOD|Θ left open in [3] for Θ a successor in the Solovay sequence. Our work, when combined with [3], shows that in AD models of the form L(℘(R)) below “ADR + Θ is regular”, HOD satisfies GCH.

Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Banna Virus from Mosquitoes, Vietnam

We isolated and characterized a Banna virus from mosquitoes in Vietnam; 5 strains were isolated from field-caught mosquitoes at various locations; Banna virus was previously isolated from encephalitis patients in Yunnan, China, in 1987. Together, these findings suggest widespread distribution of this virus throughout Southeast Asia.
