Background: The erosion of mosses on the surface of Hue imperial citadel has caused a lot of harm and is currently an urgent problem to be solved. Objectives:1. Identifying some moss species growing on Hue relics. 2. Determining the cause of slipperiness and the living environment mosses. 3. Finding a solution to limit the intrusion of the mosses. Methods: The methods are: identifying scientific name by comparing patterns, identify mucus, pH measurement and evaluation of the effects of certain chemicals on the growth of mosses in the laboratory. Result: The moss species that develop popularly in Hue relics is Funaria hygrometrica, Bryum apiculatum, Trichostomum orthodontum, Fissidens lycopodioides. Funaria hygrometrica is the most popular moss. The cause of the slipperiness is mucus in moss cells released outside the moss after death. Mosses grow well in moist environments, clear and slightly acidic surface. After two days assessing the effect of citric acid 18%, 15%, 10% and 7% NaHCO3, 5%, 3% on the growth of moss, the mosses all died completely. Since then identified two types of chemicals have been found to completely dead moss, inexpensive, environmentally friendly and does not affect the surface of architectures are citric acid 10% solution and NaHCO3 3% solution.

A review of the composition and evolution of hydrocarbon gases during solidification of the Ilímaussaq alkaline complex, South Greenland. Geology of Greenland Survey Bulletin, 190, 159-166. https://doi.org/10.34194/ggub.v190.5187 _______________ Fluid inclusions in minerals from agpaitic nepheline syenites and hydrothermal veins in the Ilímaussaq complex and in similar agpaitic complexes on the Kola Peninsula, Russia, are dominated by hydrocarbon gases (predominantly methane) and hydrogen. Such volatile compositions differ considerably from those of most other igneous rocks and their formation and entrapment in minerals reflects low oxygen fugacities and a wide range of crystallisation temperatures extending to a low-temperature solidus. Their composition reflects initial low carbon contents and high water contents of the magma resulting in the exsolution of a waterrich CO2–H2O dominated vapour phase. Fractionation of chlorides into the vapour phase results in high salinities and the subsequent development of a heterogeneous vapour phase with a highly saline aqueous-rich fraction and a methane-dominated fraction, with preferential entrapment of the latter, possibly due to different wetting characteristics. The light stable isotope compositions support an abiogenic origin for the hydrocarbons in agpaitic nepheline syenite complexes.

This chapter describes how the first found exoplanets presented puzzles: they orbited where they should not have formed or where they could not have survived the death of their stars. The Solar System had its own puzzles to add: Mars is smaller than expected, while Venus, Earth, and Mars had more water—at least at one time—than could be understood. This chapter shows how astronomers worked through the combination of these puzzles: now we appreciate that planets can change their orbits, scatter water-bearing asteroids about, steal material from growing planets, or team up with other planets to stabilize their future. The special history of Jupiter and Saturn as a pair bringing both destruction and water to Earth emerged from the study of seventeenth-century resonant clocks, from the water contents of asteroids, and from experiments with supercomputers imposing the laws of physics on virtual worlds.
