In this study, we address the challenges posed by data scarcity in hydrodynamic modeling within one of the most vulnerable coastal zones in the world—the Saigon-Dongnai tidal river system in South Vietnam. We investigate calibration strategies for a 1D hydrodynamic model using minimal in-situ data obtained from an existing local monitoring program,...

The importance of REE for modern industries is proved by the high demand. The abundance of REE is richer that that of noble matals like gold or silver. However, supply sources are concentrated in China. The share of product of REE was highest in 2009 (over 90%) and that is used as a national strategy. Mining industry in Vietnam mainly developed in...

I just konw that TCDD has half life 8,7 yearr with 95% confidence follow serum analysis (Michalek JE et al.,1996). But how does it decay in soil. 
Question
When I analyze the Al content in groundwater, I found that there is a relation between Al-pH. When pH low Al3+ is solube very high, then increasing pH Al3+ decrease, but it increases again when pH is above 6. From lab test, I found a hyperbol relation between Al3+ and pH (2,8-6). I don't care type of pH yet. Do you know some published references relate to this topic?
