Young age as an adverse prognostic factor in premenopausal women with operable breast cancer
- 2002
RR Love, NB Duc, N Van Dinh, TT Quy, Y Xin, TC Havighurst
Data regarding young age as an independent prognostic factor have been
conflicting. We investigated this variable in 696 premenopausal Vietnamese and
Chinese women with operable breast cancer who participated in a clinical trial
of adjuvant surgical oophorectomy and tamoxifen. Tumor size and axillary lymph
node status did not vary with age. Women < 35 years had a greater fraction of
histologic gra... hiện toàn bộ
Venture capital in a transition economy: The case of Vietnam
- 2004
W Scheela, N Van Dinh
This paper presents exploratory case studies of five venture capital firms
operating in the emerging and transition economy of Vietnam. Institutional
theory is used as the theoretical framework to analyse the development of the
venture capital industry in Vietnam. The authors explore the relationship
between the lack of fully-developed institutions in Vietnam and the challenges
facing venture capi... hiện toàn bộ
Nonlinear postbuckling of eccentrically stiffened functionally graded plates and shallow shells
Tập 33 Số 3 - 2011
Dao Huy Bich, Nguyen Thi Phuong, Vu Hoai Nam
The paper deals with the formulation of governing equations of eccentrically
stiffened functionally graded plates and shallow shells based upon the classical
shell theory and the smeared stiffeners technique taking into account
geometrical nonlinearity in Von Karman-Donnell sense. Material properties are
assumed to be temperature-independent and graded in the thickness direction
according to a sim... hiện toàn bộ

Free vibration of functionally graded sandwich plates with stiffeners based on the third-order shear deformation theory
Tập 38 Số 2 - 2016
Do Van Thom, Pham Tien Dat, Doan Trac Luat
In this paper, the free vibration of functionally sandwich grades plates with
stiffeners is investigated by using the finite element method. The material
properties are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction by a power-law
distribution. Based on the third-order shear deformation theory, the governing
equations of motion are derived from the Hamilton's principle. A parametric
study is... hiện toàn bộ

Survival after adjuvant oophorectomy and tamoxifen in operable breast cancer in premenopausal women
- 2008
RR Love, N Van Dinh, TT Quy, ND Linh, ND Tung, T Shen, EM Hade
Purpose Worldwide, approximately 750,000 new cases of breast cancer are
diagnosed annually in premenopausal women with limited economic resources.
Longer-term survival benefits from adjuvant therapies in such women with
operable breast cancer are unknown. Patients and Methods From 1993 to 1999, we
recruited 709 premenopausal women with operable breast cancer to a multisite
randomized clinical tria... hiện toàn bộ
Duality in the analysis of responses to nonlinear systems
Tập 32 Số 4 - 2010
Nguyen Dong Anh
The paper provides a new view on the averaging procedure and equivalent
linearization in the study of nonlinear mechanics. It is shown that the duality
of those techniques can be used to obtain better approximate solutions or to
separate the original nonlinear systems subjected to periodic and random
excitations into deterministic and stochastic ones.
CYP2D6 genotypes, endoxifen levels, and disease recurrence in 224 Filipino and Vietnamese women receiving adjuvant tamoxifen for operable breast cancer
- 2013
RR Love, Z Desta, D Flockhart, T Skaar, ET Ogburn, A Ramamoorthy
Background While tamoxifen activity is mainly due to endoxifen and the
concentration of this active metabolite is, in part, controlled by CYP2D6
metabolic status, clinical correlative studies have produced mixed results.
Findings In an exploratory study, we determined the CYP2D6 metabolic status and
plasma concentrations of endoxifen among 224 Filipino and Vietnamese women
participating in a clini... hiện toàn bộ
Doing business in Vietnam
- 2001
W Scheela, N Van Dinh
This article examines the opportunities and challenges of doing business in
Vietnam. We focus on the seven‐year development process of the venture capital
industry in Vietnam as an indicator of the long‐term process of creating and
managing business investments there. Although there are many lucrative business
opportunities in Vietnam, there are also significant challenges that must be

Life table parameters and development of Neoseiulus longispinosus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) reared on citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (Acari: Tetranychidae) at different temperatures
- 2017
LT Huyen, ND Tung, DH Lan, C Van Chi, P De Clercq, N Van Dinh
Development time, survival, reproduction, and sex ratio were determined for the
predatory mite Neoseiulus longispinosus (Evans) at six constant temperatures
(20, 25, 27.5, 30, 32.5 and 35 °C) reared on citrus red spider mite Panonychus
citri (McGregor). No predatory mite reached adulthood at 35°C. All female and
male immature stages of N. longispinosus developed significantly faster as the
