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. Keywords: The moss erosion, Funaria hygrometrica, mucus, citric acid, NaHCO3 Key words: The moss erosion, Funaria hygrometrica, mucus, citric acid, NaHCO 3

Moss biomonitoring is a widely used technique for monitoring the accumulation of trace elements in airborne pollution. A total of one hundred and five samples, mainly of the Hypnum cupressiforme Hedw. moss species, were collected from the Northern Greece during the 2015/2016 European ICP Vegetation (International Cooperative Program on Effects of Air Pollution on Natural Vegetation and Crops) moss survey, which also included samples from the metalipherous area of Skouries. They were analyzed by means of neutron activation analysis, and the elemental concentrations were determined. A positive matrix factorization (PMF) model was applied to the results obtained for source apportionment. According to the PMF model, five sources were identified: soil dust, aged sea salt, road dust, lignite power plants, and a Mn-rich source. The soil dust source contributed the most to almost all samples (46% of elemental concentrations, on average). Two areas with significant impact from anthropogenic activities were identified. In West Macedonia, the emissions from a lignite power plant complex located in the area have caused high concentrations of Ni, V, Cr, and Co. The second most impacted area was Skouries, where mining activities and vehicular traffic (probably related to the mining operations) led to high concentrations of Mn, Ni, V, Co, Sb, and Cr.

The hill tribes of northern Thailand comprise nine officially recognized groups: the Austroasiatic-speaking (AA) Khmu, Htin and Lawa; the Hmong-Mien-speaking (HM) IuMien and Hmong; and the Sino-Tibetan-speaking (ST) Akha, Karen, Lahu and Lisu. Except the Lawa, the rest of the hill tribes migrated into their present habitats only very recently. The Thai hill tribes were of much interest to research groups focusing on study of cultural and genetic variation because of their unique languages and cultures. So far, there have been several genetic studies of the Thai hill tribes. However, complete forensic microsatellite database of the Thai hill tribes is still lacking. To construct such database, we newly generated 654 genotypes of 15 microsatellites commonly used in forensic investigation that belong to all the nine hill tribes and also non-hill tribe highlanders from northern Thailand. We also combined 329 genotypes from previous studies of northern Thai populations bringing to a total of 983 genotypes, which were then subjected to genetic structure and population relationships analyses. Our overall results indicated homogenous genetic structure within the HM- and Tai-Kadai (TK)-speaking groups, large genetic divergence of the HM-speaking Hmong but not IuMien from the other Thai groups, and genetic heterogeneity within the ST- and AA-speaking groups, reflecting different population interactions and admixtures. In addition to establishing genetic relationships within and among these populations, our finding, which provides a more complete picture of the forensic microsatellite database of the multiple Thai highland dwellers, would not only serve to expand and strengthen forensic investigation in Thailand, but would also benefit its neighboring countries of Laos and Myanmar, from which many of the Thai hill tribes originated and where large populations of these ethnic groups still reside.
