22122Fusarium fujikuroi WQF5 isolated from Cephalotaxus mannii Hook.f. as a producer of antibacterial agent and paclitaxel
Cephalotaxus mannii Hook.f is a rare medicinal plant used for the treatment of leukemia, however, its fungal endophytes with antibacterial and anticancer properties have not been exploited yet. In this study, six fungal isolates were recovered from roots of C. mannii collected in Ha Giang province, Vietnam. Among them, ethyl acetate crude extract of strain WQF5 exhibited strong antibacterial activity against 5 tested pathogens with inhibition zones ranging from 13.0 ± 0.5 mm to 20.0 ± 0.4 mm. Sulforhodamine B assay showed that WQF5 extract possessed the most potent cytotoxic activity against lung cancer A549 and breast cancer MCF7 cell lines with IC50 values of 6.9 ± 0.7 µg/mL and 23.1 ± 1.9 µg/mL, respectively. PCR-based molecular marker screening revealed that the positive hits for essential genes encoding 10-deacetylbaccatin III-10-O-acetyltransferase (dbat) and C-13 phenylpropanoyl side chain-CoA acyltransferase (bapt) involved in paclitaxel production were found in the fungal isolate WQF5. In addition, isolate WQF5, identified as Fusarium fujikuroi by morphological and ITS analysis, also produced paclitaxel as shown by HPLC-DAD analysis. This is the first report of bioprospecting endophytic fungi isolated from C. mannii, in which the capability of producing paclitaxel of endophytic fungi was also proved for the first time. These findings addressed a potent candidate for paclitaxel production and provided excellent material for further investigations of how endophytic fungi from non-Taxus plant species synthesize paclitaxel.

22127Gaas and related materials : bulk semiconducting and superlattice properties
This text covers the various material properties of bulk GaAs and related materials, and aspects of the physics of artificial semiconductor micro-structures - such as quantum wells and superlattices - made of these materials. A complete set of the material properties are considered in this book. They are: structural properties; thermal properties; elastic and lattice vibronic properties; collective effects and some response characteristics; electronic energy-band structure and consequences; optical, elasto-optic, and electro-optic properties and carrier transport properties.
22128Gabor filter based image segmentation for detecting damages on surface of reinforce concrete structures = Phát hiện các khuyết tật trên bề mặt kết cấu bê tông cốt thép sử dụng kỹ thuật phân ngưỡng ảnh dựa trên bộ lọc Gabor
This study aims at developing a computer vision tool to segment images capturing surface of reinforced concrete structures. The image processing technique of Gabor filter is used with k-Means clustering algorithm and principal component analysis to automatically segment damages on concrete surface including spall, crack, bughole, and stain.
