AbstractBased on the risk of ischemic injury to the spinal cord and the risk of renal failure and mortality, Crawford and colleagues classified thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms into four extents. Type I thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms involved the descending thoracic aorta proximal to the level of 6th rib to above the renal arteries; type II extends from the proximal descending thoracic aorta above the level of T6 to below the renal arteries; type III extends from below the level of T6 in the descending aorta and a variable extent in the abdominal aorta; type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm involved the abdominal aorta without involvement of the descending aorta.
Globalization and future of power relations in the Arabic Middle-East: a case study of Egypt and Libya
Authors: Nikfar Jaseb 
Published: November 2020

AbstractIn the Arab Middle-East, power relations have been conceived of as unequal, unilateral, and imposing. However, globalization has posed challenges to this absolute and authoritarian political order. More specifically, the process of globalization diminishes governments’ domination and absolute power, changes the attitude of subjects and inevitably transforms power relations in the Arab Middle-East. Weakening the control mechanisms and provision of proper facilities and platforms leads eventually to a change in the subjects’ attitudes and growth in their awareness. The present paper aims to study the effects of globalization on power relations in the Arab Middle-East, with a focus on Egypt and Libya. The paper argues and concludes that the change in power relations and political order transformation are inevitable.
How cultural evolution can inform the science of science communication—and vice versa
Authors: Bendixen Theiss 
Published: November 2020

AbstractCultural evolution research is the study of how cultural traits (e.g., beliefs and behavioral patterns) stabilize, change and diffuse in populations, and why some cultural traits are more “attractive” (i.e., more likely to spread) than others. As such, cultural evolution is highly relevant for the emerging “science of science communication” (SSC) in that it can help organize and guide the study of science communication efforts aimed at spreading scientifically accurate information and inspiring behavioral change. Here, I synthesize insights and theory from cultural evolution with central findings and concepts within the SSC with the aim of highlighting the inherent, but underexplored, consilience between these two fields. I demonstrate how cultural evolution can serve as an unifying framework for the SSC and how, conversely, science communication can serve as a fertile testing ground for applying, exploring, and advancing cultural evolutionary theory in a real-world setting that matters. Lastly, I highlight merits and limitations of previous applications of cultural evolution to science communication and conclude with some particularly outstanding questions that emerge at the intersection between cultural evolution and science communication research.
Time-dependent taphonomic site loss leads to spatial averaging: implications for archaeological cultures
Authors: Coco Emily , Iovita Radu 
Published: November 2020

AbstractArchaeologists typically define cultural areas on the basis of similarities between the types of material culture present in sites. The similarity is assessed in order of discovery, with newer sites being evaluated against older ones. Despite evidence for time-dependent site loss due to taphonomy, little attention has been paid to how this impacts archaeological interpretations about the spatial extents of material culture similarity. This paper tests the hypothesis that spatially incomplete data sets result in detection of larger regions of similarity. To avoid assumptions of cultural processes, we apply subsampling algorithms to a naturally occurring, spatially distributed dataset of soil types. We show that there is a negative relationship between the percentage of points used to evaluate similarity across space and the absolute distances to the first minimum in similarity for soil classifications at multiple spatial scales. This negative relationship indicates that incomplete spatial data sets lead to an overestimation of the area over which things are similar. Moreover, the location of the point from which the calculation begins can determine the size of the region of similarity. This has important implications for how we interpret the spatial extent of similarity in material culture over large distances in prehistory.
Toward non-hagiographical reflections on Zimbabwe’s ‘heroes’: Dumiso Dabengwa’s history
Authors: Moore David 
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT
Dumiso Dabengwa’s death in May 2019 offers the opportunity to reflect on Zimbabwe’s fraught liberation struggle and its consequences today.
1
That Robert Mugabe’s passing was a few months later makes such considerations more pertinent. This article thus revisits some of the liberation war’s moments of evident tension between its two main nationalist movements, as well as those in the post-1980 era. It also considers some of Dabengwa’s last, most historically important and philosophically interesting reflections.
Creation and propagation of a single magnetic domain wall in 2D nanotraps with a square injection pad
Authors: Hoang Duc-Quang , Cao Xuan-Huu , Nguyen Hoai-Thuong , Dao Vinh-Ai 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Polycrystalline permalloy 2D nanotraps with a thickness of 20 nm were studied using a Lorentz microscope associated with micro-magnetic simulations. Each trap was designed to create a single head-to-head domain wall. The traps consist of a few nanowires with an in-plane dimension of w nm × 1000 nm (w = 150, 200 and 250 nm). Some structures with an injection pad were also designed to create a single domain wall and propagate it through the structure with the said injection pad. A few of them were patterned to study the nucleation and propagation behavior of such nucleated domain walls using both horizontal magnetic field and injection pad approaches. The case of a domain wall created at the first corner of the trap with a wire width of 200 nm was systematically studied, while single and multiple domain walls can also be created and propagated with or without an injection structure. The characteristics of such movements were exploited with an emphasis on a single head-to-head domain wall.
Neuronal growth from a volume perspective
Authors: Braïni Céline , Bugnicourt Ghislain , Villard Catherine 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Microfluidic-based fluorescent exclusion method allows to tackle the issue of neuronal growth from a volume perspective. Based on this technology, we studied the two main actin-rich structures accompanying the early stages of neuron development, i.e. growth cones, located at the tip of growing neuronal processes, and propagative actin waves. Our work reveals that growth cones tend to loose volume during their forward motion, as do actin waves during their journey from the cell body to the tip of neuronal processes, before the total transfer of their remaining volume to the growth cone. Actin waves seem thus to supply material to increasingly distant growth cones as neurons develop. In addition, our work may suggest the existence of a membrane recycling phenomena associated to actin waves as a pulsatile anterograde source of material and by a continuous retrograde transport.

Authors: Li Ziang , Zhang Lu 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
With the progress of electric vehicles, there comes a huge number of problems about cost inflation and workload increases in power distribution systems, which caused by the growing number of electric vehicles plugging. Hence, an optimal planning scheme of soft open point (SOP) considering the connection of electric vehicle to power distribution system is proposed. First of all, a SOP two-layer planning model for site selection and capacity determination was established to seek for site selection and capacity determination, so as to minimize the cost. The hybrid optimization algorithm composed of improved genetic algorithm and power flow algorithm was used to solve the problem. Further, the variation of voltage level, before and after the SOP connected to the distribution network, is also analyzed. Finally, the rationality and feasibility of the two-layer programming model of SOP site selection and constant capacity and the hybrid optimization algorithm composed of improved genetic algorithm and power flow algorithm are analyzed with IEEE 33 node example system, and the planning conclusion of effectively reducing the operating cost of the distribution system is obtained. After plugging in SOP according to the planning results, the node voltage value, the average per unit value and the performance of the distribution system are improved to a certain extent. Meanwhile, the operation efficiency, relative error and the convergence capacity according to the modified algorithm are superior to conventional algorithm.
Tri-level allocation method of distributed energy storage system based on sharing strategy in active distribution networks

Published: November 2020

Abstract
More and more distributed energy storage (DES) are integrating into active distribution networks (ADNs), which has a positive effect on both distribution companies (DISCOs) and consumers. In order to achieve peak-load shifting and reduce the electricity purchasing costs, from the perspective of an independent energy storage operator, a tri-level allocation model of DES in an ADN is built based on a sharing strategy. The tri-level model is a multi-objective optimization problem: the upper-stage model optimizes the siting and sizing of DES with the objective of minimizing the annual costs of investment; the middle-stage model realizes an optimal distribution of energy storage capacity to the DISCO and consumers with the objective including the operating costs of the DISCO and consumers, and peak-valley differences; in the lower-stage model, the optimal operation scheme of DES can be acquired with the objective of minimizing the operating costs of the DISCO and consumers. A method combining adaptive genetic algorithm (GA) and second-order cone programming (SOCP) is adopted to solve the model. Simulation results on the IEEE 33 bus system show that the tri-level allocation method can effectively reduce the RES investment costs, reduce the peak-valley differences, and improve the revenues of both the DISCO and consumers.
Research on Three-phase Unbalance Control of Distribution Area Based on Intelligent Fusion Terminal
Authors: Dongdong Lv , Tao Yang , Siyang Deng , Zhu Liu , Wenjing Li 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
As the three-phase four-wire system is used in power transmission and distribution in our country, the single-phase load is the most part of power consumption. The three-phase imbalance of voltage and current on the outlet side of transformers may occur due to the unexpectedly increase or decrease of the load in a certain phase of the low-voltage distribution network. This phenomenon will reduce the service time of the equipment and the power quality of the power supply. A multiple population genetic algorithm (MPGA) is proposed in this paper to treat this problem. Intelligent fusion terminal (IFT) is used as the hardware application platform to communicate with phase-change switch in order to execute the optimal strategy, the three-phase current of the load side would be balanced after the strategy is executed. An example is simulated with MATLAB to show the effectiveness of MPGA.

Characteristics of Reactive Power Compensation for Islanded Microgrids Based on Synchronized Current Phasor Control
Authors: Jin Jiaxin , Shi Qianhong , Wang Zhijun , Ding Lei 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Synchronized Current Phasor Control (SCPC) is a new control method proposed recently for islanded microgrids. This paper firstly investigates the reactive power compensation characteristics of the SCPC islanded microgrid with I-V droop control, then analyzes the influence of the droop coefficient on it. Through this study, we find that the traditional reactive power compensation strategies are no longer adapted to SCPC islanded microgrids, since their characteristics of reactive power compensation are different from the traditional grid or other islanded microgrids controlled by the typical methods.

Abstract
The project Baltic Phytoremediation (BAPR), an implementing project of the Interreg South programme, aims to raise cross-border awareness about the availability of green phytoremediation technologies to remove environmental pollutants from soil or water, such as oil, industry-related contaminants, hazardous substances, heavy and toxic metals, nutrients and microplastics, through new arenas of cooperation that focus on circular economy approach. Contamination of land and soil increases and is a serious concern around the Baltic Sea region but further worldwide. The most common remedial technologies for related to the clean-up of soil is excavation, removal and disposal to a contained landfill. Therefore, heavily contaminated soils in landfills, can in some instances, mixing with another disposal of hazardous materials. In the Kalmar, a region of south-eastern Sweden, on the Baltic Sea, the glass waste dumps are removed in such old fashion way with no contribution towards the Circular Economy. The best available remediation strategy is soil washing strategy, an ex-situ technology with a chemical additive application to remove contaminants from the soil and wastewater. Recently, many studies have been carried out encouragingly the phytoremediation processes in different plant species. For instances, food crops, sunflower and Indian mustard are considered as the best plants for phytoremediation, as they have a role in phytoextraction of heavy metals. Phytoremediation research has gained the interest of the scientific society and governments over the last two decades, leading to the development of urban greening and ecology national parks. Orrefors park is one of the largest innovative urban site parks in Sweden with ecologically, socially and economically sustainable way with phytoremediation. The present project aims to explore the combination of phytoextraction with biomass generation and commercial utilization as an energy source, using the ash (bio-ore) that increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. The project includes pilot cases using innovative plant-based phytoremediation methods that cleaning of the contaminated soil.

Abstract
The necessity of studying the Moon as an important source of nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants is considered. The work takes into account the geomorphological conditions of the celestial body and the basic biological needs of man. Of particular interest is the problem of fruit and vegetable production on the lunar base. This is necessary to provide the inhabitants of the lunar base with vitamins. In addition, plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and create an additional comfortable psychological environment. Experiments carried out in space have confirmed the possibility of growing fruit on the International Space Station (the harvest was more than 15 kg of tomatoes and 6 kg of red pepper). Taking into account the experimental results on growing vegetables on the International Space Station, a simulation of the structure of the lunar base was carried out. The strength and resistance of the structure to various influences have been calculated. Areas for planting agricultural crops have been determined, a possible harvest has been determined and the improvement of conditions for human habitation at the lunar base has been substantiated.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The determination of mobile Pb compounds in soil is the most important environmental task, due to their sorbtion by plants and migration to other adjacent mediums. The biochar is widely known as an effective for contaminated soil remediation. The aim of the research was to study the effect of biochar remediation on the Pb mobility in soil under model contamination conditions. Haplic Chernozem was artificially contaminated with Pb nitrates at rates of 5 and 10 maximum permissible concentrations (32 mg/kg). Biochar was added in doses of 2.5% and 5% of the soil mass. Loosely bound compounds include exchangeable, complex, and specifically sorbed metal. The largest increase of metal exchangeable forms was observed at a pollution dose of 320 mg/kg (up to 16%). When carbon sorbent was introduced noticeable changes in the content of loosely bound forms occurred. Pb exchangeable forms decreased by 3-10%, complex forms - by 4-13%, specifically sorbed forms- by 4-12%. The highest efficiency of sorbents has been demonstrated by biochar at a dose of 2.5% in the soil contaminated with 160 mg/kg of Pb and at a dose of 5% under contamination of 320 mg/kg of metal.
