Chromatic name Achromatic name others 4 2 Hue Attribute of a visual sensation according to which an area appears to be similar to one of the perceived colors Often refers red, green, blue, and yellow 5 Brightness Attribute of a visual sensation according to which an area appears to emit more or less light. Absolute level of the perception 6 3 Lightness The brightness of an area judged as a ratio to the brightness of a similarly illuminated area that appears to be white Relative amount of light reflected, or relative brightness normalized for changes in the illumination and view conditions 7 Colorfulness Attribute of a visual sensation according to which the perceived color of an area appears to be more or less chromatic 8 4 Chroma Colorfulness of an area judged as a ratio of the brightness of a similarly illuminated area that appears white Relationship between colorfulness and chroma is similar to relationship between brightness and lightness 9 Saturation Colorfulness of an area judged as a ratio to its brightness Chroma – ratio to white Saturation – ratio to its brightness 10 5 Definition of Color Appearance Model so much description of color such as: wavelength, cone response, tristimulus values, chromaticity coordinates, color spaces, … it is difficult to distinguish them correctly We need a model which makes them straightforward 11 Definition of Color Appearance Model CIE Technical Committee 1-34 (TC1-34) (Comission Internationale de l'Eclairage) They agreed on the following definition: A color appearance model is any model that includes predictors of at least the relative color-appearance attributes of lightness, chroma, and hue. -

Chapter 8 Present Situation and Development Plans of Major Sea Ports 8.1 Major sea ports 8.1.1 Hai Phong Port (1) Outline Hai Phong Port is located on the right bank of Cam River and 20 nautical miles (37km) from buoy zero. The port was initially opened by the French in 1879. Hai Phong Port is a nodal point of inter-modal transportation consisting of road (Highway No. 5), inland waterway (corridors 1 & 2) and railway transport. Cargo throughput of Hai Phong Port has been increasing rapidly and reached 7.6 million tons in 2000 (export: 1.2, import: 3.6, domestic: 2.8), which is the highest cargo throughput among the ports in the Northern region. As to port facilities, Hai Phong Port has 17 berths (6 berths for container) with total length of 1,700m (930m for container) and maximum depth of -8.5m (for container). Besides, roadsteads (anchorage area) are located at Bach Dang (3), Hon Gai (9) and Lan Ha (3) for lighterage operation. Tidal range is 3.9m. (2) Current Problems of Hai Phong Port - The depth of the access channel is shallow (current depth: -4.5m) due to alluvium deposit. The vessel over 15,000DWT must be lightened at the anchorage area (roadstead) before berthing. Some 50 vessels (total handling cargo: 0.6 million tons) conducted the lighterage operation in 2001. This increases the handling charges and other expenses. - The maintenance dredging at a published depth in front of berths is insufficient due to lack of fund for maintenance, although mid-way channel is managed and maintained by Vietnam Marine Safety Bureau. -
Traveling with a Revolutionary
NOT FOR PUBLICATION WITHOUT WRITER'S CONSENT INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS TRAVELLING WITH A REVOLUTIONARY Part Catholic churches mushroom, party schools become hotels, government officials buy land. Surprises are many on the roads of South Vietnam, especially when you travel with an old revolutionary. Peter Bird Martin ICWA/Crane-Rogers Foundation 4 West Wheelock Street Hanover, New Hampshire 03755 Dear Peter, It rained so much in Hue, Mr Vinh's Cigarette began to droop from his lips. Dusk fell on the Ancient Imperial Capital of Vietnam and we took shelter from the monsoon under the balcony o an old colonial French villa. Vinh's white shock of hair and the burning ember of his cigarette pierced the darkness. "In prison, we shared every butt," he says, talking over tl]e muffled sheeting sound the monsoon. "These days, nobody shares anything. Vlnh is 70-year old. His head barely reaches my shoulder but he towers over me. He holds his head up high, chin erect, hands clasped behind his back. His finely shaped bony face is usually distant, lost in thought, seemingly disdainful. But the man can laugh, oh so well. Often, as we travelled together during the past ten days, his son-in-law cracked an anti- communist joke and the old man" s laugh cascaded from .his seat, at the back o our rented minl-bus. It was like the joyful flight of white egrets fluttering over a rice field, an explosion o water and light. "We were no communists, says Vinh as we chat under Hue's heavy rain. -

Assessment of Soil Liquefaction Potential Based on SPT Values at Some Ground Profiles in the North Central Coast of Vietnam
Nu et al. Iraqi Journal of Science, 2021, Vol. 62, No. 7, pp: 2222-2238 DOI: 10.24996/ijs.2021.62.7.12 ISSN: 0067-2904 Assessment of Soil Liquefaction Potential Based on SPT Values at Some Ground Profiles in the North Central Coast of Vietnam Nguyen Thi Nu*, Nguyen Thanh Duong, Bui Truong Son Department of Engineering Geology, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology, Viet Nam Received: 52/2/2020 Accepted: 23/7/2020 Abstract The North Central Coast of Vietnam has a wide distribution of loose sand which is often exposed on the surface. The thickness changes from a few meters to over ten meters. This sand with the loose state can be sensitive to the dynamic loads, such as earthquakes, traffic load, or machine foundations. It can be liquefied under these loadings, which might destroy the ground and buildings. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is widely used in engineering practice and its values can be useful for the assessment of soil liquefaction potential. Thus, this article presents some ground profiles in some sites in the North Central Coast of Vietnam and determines the liquefaction potential of sand based on SPT and using three parameters, including the Factor of Safety against Liquefaction (FSLIQ), Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI), and Liquefaction Severity Number (LSN). The research results show that the FSLIQ, LPI, and LSN values depend on the depth of sand samples and the SPT values. In this study, the sand distributed from 2.0 to 18.0m with (N1)60cs value of less than 20 has high liquefaction potential with FSLIQ<1, LPI is often higher than 0.73, and LSN is often higher than 10. -
List of Clinics and Hospitals / Danh Sách Phòng Khám Và Bệnh Viện
LIST OF CLINICS AND HOSPITALS / DANH SÁCH PHÒNG KHÁM VÀ BỆNH VIỆN The following is a list of both international and Vietnamese clinics and hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City and in the provinces. The list is by no means exclusive. Many of the international medical facilities have foreign English-speaking doctors on staff. The U.S. Consulate General bears no responsibility for the quality of care or service at any of these facilities. Please be aware that medical care in Vietnam, even in Ho Chi Minh City, is considerably below U.S. standards. Sometimes, even routine injuries or conditions may require medical evacuation to a regional medical center with higher standards. The telephone country code for Vietnam is 84. Dưới đây là danh sách một số phòng khám, bệnh viện Việt Nam và quốc tế tại Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh và các tỉnh thành. Danh sách này không liệt kê đầy đủ tất cả các cơ sở. Nhiều cơ sở y khoa quốc tế có bác sĩ người nước ngoài nói tiếng Anh. Tổng Lãnh sự Hoa Kỳ không chịu trách nhiệm về chất lượng chăm sóc y tế hay chất lượng dịch vụ tại bất kỳ cơ sở nào trong danh sách này. Xin lưu ý điều kiện chăm sóc y tế ở Việt Nam, ngay cả tại Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, thấp hơn các tiêu chuẩn của Hoa Kỳ khá nhiều. Đôi khi, ngay cả những chấn thương hay tình trạng sức khỏe thường gặp vẫn phải được chuyển đến một trung tâm y tế trong khu vực với các tiêu chuẩn cao hơn. -
