The prominent characteristic of these materials lies in their reversible color-changing ability in response to temperature variations. Among the compounds containing the xanthene moiety-a functional group commonly found in many dyes and pigments, fluoran stood out due to its high sensitivity in temperature-induced color transitions, particularly when combined with electron acceptors and suitable solvents. In this study, fluoran was synthesized via a two-step reaction involving phthalic anhydride, 3-diethylamino phenol, and p-bromophenol in toluene. The resulting product was a pink solid with a melting point in the range of 171 - 174 °C and a yield of 60,8%. The structure of the synthesized product was confirmed using advanced analytical techniques, including infrared spectroscopy (IR), one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (1D NMR), and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR).</p> 2025-04-15T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Military Science and Technology https://online.jmst.info/index.php/jmst/article/view/1687 Cobalt-doped biochar derived from coir fiber activation for peroxymonosulfate degradation of methylene blue 2025-04-16T05:11:58+00:00 Le Minh Tri takhoi.vittep@gmail.com Nguyen Thanh Tung takhoi.vittep@gmail.com Ngo Van Thanh Huy takhoi.vittep@gmail.com Tran Anh Khoa takhoi.vittep@gmail.com Tran Anh Khoi takhoi.vittep@gmail.com <p>In this work, metal-impregnated biochar (Co-Biochar) was used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and degrade methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solutions. This procedure illustrates a possible method for transforming garbage into useful commodities. Coconut fiber was pyrolyzed in an inert environment to produce biochar, which was then modified with metal salts using the co-precipitation technique. The structural features of the resultant material were studied using sophisticated analytical methods such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms. Following PMS activation, the catalyst degraded MB with remarkable efficiency. More than 90% of the MB was removed within 15 minutes using optimum conditions (0.05 g of catalyst, 100 mL of 50 mg/L MB solution, and 400 mg/L PMS). Additionally, the effects of various reaction parameters, such as catalyst dosage, PMS concentration, solution pH, and reaction temperature, were investigated. The findings suggest that Co-Biochar holds significant potential as a PMS activator for the treatment of MB in textile wastewater.</p> 2025-04-15T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Military Science and Technology https://online.jmst.info/index.php/jmst/article/view/1520 Investigation of methylene blue adsorption on activated carbon surfaces: A combined approach of experimental study and molecular simulation 2025-04-16T05:15:35+00:00 Tung Nguyen Thanh thanhtung130192@gmail.com Dinh Chinh Nguyen 2ndchinh@gmail.com Linh Nguyen linh.vittep@gmail.com Khoi Tran Anh takhoi.vittep@gmail.com Thuy Nguyen Thi thuyvittep@gmail.com Huy Ngo Van Thanh huynvt@gmail.com <p>Wastewater containing methylene blue, commonly found in dyeing and textile effluents, poses significant environmental risks if left untreated. It can severely pollute water bodies, disrupt ecosystems, and threaten human health due to its toxicity. This study examined the ability of activated carbon to adsorb methylene blue from water. The activated carbon was pre-treated with various KOH ratios, achieving a maximum adsorption capacity of 619.92 mg/g. The adsorption process was analyzed using kinetic and isothermal models. Results showed that the process was best described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, both demonstrating high R² values. Molecular simulation methods were applied to explore the adsorption mechanism in greater detail. The findings indicated a multilayer adsorption mechanism dominated by electrostatic interactions, which facilitate strong bonding between the activated carbon surface and methylene blue molecules. Overall, the study highlights the potential of activated carbon as an effective solution for removing methylene blue from polluted water sources.</p> 2025-04-15T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Military Science and Technology https://online.jmst.info/index.php/jmst/article/view/1634 Isolation and structural determination of compounds from Alstonia scholaris (L.)

To accomplish such a request, both these types of tasks must be implemented, along with an efficient method to bridge them. However, this problem is still open. This work presents a two-phase workflow (figure 1), including Comprehension and Implementation, based on a metric-semantic map to address this problem. In the Comprehension phase, also known as automated planning, the natural language request is converted into actionable plans using semantic information from the map. These plans are then passed to the Implementation phase, where tasks like navigation or manipulation are executed utilizing geometric information from the map. Moreover, we also conduct an experiment to illustrate how a natural-language request is implemented on a specific metric-semantic presentation of the environment, namely a 3D Scene Graph, with the following complete sequence: from creating the 3D Scene graph until getting the feasible output path.

A mathematical model is developed, and simulations validate the proposed approach. A linear modal controller is designed for nominal parameters, while an adaptive controller with an implicit reference model ensures stability under uncertainties. MATLAB/Simulink simulations on the UAV-70V model show that the linear modal controller performs well with known parameters but becomes unstable with variations. In contrast, the adaptive controller maintains robust stability, rapid response, and precise trajectory tracking. These findings confirm its effectiveness in uncertain environments.</p> 2025-04-15T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Military Science and Technology https://online.jmst.info/index.php/jmst/article/view/1421 Synthesis of control command for single-channel flying equipment by pulse width - amplitude modulation method 2025-04-16T05:17:36+00:00 May Phạm Văn phamvanmaymta1989@gmail.com Do Anh Cuong phamvanmaymta1989@gmail.com Tran Duc Thuan phamvanmaymta1989@gmail.com Chu Hoa Lu phamvanmaymta1989@gmail.com Lam Van Duc phamvanmaymta1989@gmail.com <p><strong> </strong>The article examines the method of synthesizing control commands of single-channel flying equipment (TBBMK) with infrared homing heads currently in use; These methods require the rudder angle to be able to change from the maximum negative value to the maximum positive value continuously or in steps.

However, the widespread use of PET/CT systems is limited by the scarcity of PET scanners and the reliance on radioactive tracers. To address this, 3D image-to-image translation has emerged as a promising solution for generating synthetic PET images from CT scans. Existing generative methods based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) face challenges such as instability and stochastic outputs that lack precision for reliable 3D CT-to-PET translation. We propose RegC2P, a novel approach that integrates a registration module into a GAN-based framework to generate accurately aligned 3D PET images from CT scans. RegC2P transforms the problem into a slice-by-slice 2D image-to-image translation task, where individual 2D CT slices are translated into PET slices and then stacked into a 3D PET volume. Misaligned 2D PET slices are treated as noisy labels, and the generator is trained with an additional registration network to adaptively correct the misalignment, optimizing both the translation and registration tasks simultaneously. To ensure smoothness and consistency across generated PET slices throughout the entire volume, we introduce a 3D U-Net refinement network. Extensive experiments on large datasets demonstrate that RegC2P outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving a 10.16% reduction in MAE, a 0.96% improvement in SSIM, and a 3.6% increase in PSNR, setting a new benchmark for the quality of synthesized 3D PET images.</p> 2025-04-15T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Military Science and Technology https://online.jmst.info/index.php/jmst/article/view/1463 Explosion sound classification using machine learning method based on audio features 2025-04-16T05:17:15+00:00 Van Tuan Nguyen tnv8084@gmail.com Dang Tuan Nguyen tuannd.capiti@gmail.com <p class="jmsttmttubi2021"><span style="letter-spacing: .1pt;">This study focuses on the classification of gunshot sounds using multiple audio features and machine learning methods.
