Published: March 2024

Abstract
Resilience evaluation plays a critical role in the decarbonized development of modern power distribution systems since it objectively assesses how the distribution system performs in the face of stochastic renewable generation, increasing load demand, and promising to cut carbon emissions. This study proposed a comprehensive resilience evaluation method for regional distribution systems. The proposed resilience evaluation system comprises three sub-groups: performance, economy, and connections. To improve the objectivity of the proposed evaluation method, the weighting factors are calculated based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and weighted Page-ranking algorithm, respectively. Specifically, AHP is adopted to calculate the weighting factors for different metrics. At the same time, the original Page-ranking algorithm is improved according to the importance of the buses and then used to calculate the weighting factors for different buses within the same metric. The proposed method is applied to a real-world distribution network in China. Numerical results show that the proposed method can objectively evaluate the overall resilience level of the distribution network, including the source side, the network, and the load side. The evaluation results can help the decision-makers to make resilience enhancement in an economical and targeted way.
Power grid planning and optimal dispatch based on intelligent optimization and genetic algorithm
Authors: Wang Xu 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Power grid planning is a prerequisite for optimal design, operation, and planning of the power grid. Based on the characteristics of the power system, this article explored a genetic algorithm-based power network optimization method. In genetic algorithms, simulated annealing algorithms were used to optimize candidate individuals, resulting in the optimal ratio of the number of selected individuals to the number of all mutated individuals. At the same time, a simulated annealing algorithm was added to the optimization process to improve the shortcomings of GA (Genetic Algorithm). When the genetic algorithm selected individuals from the parent population, a simulated annealing algorithm was used to optimize candidate individuals, making the ratio of the number of selected individuals to the number of all mutated individuals optimal. In order to overcome the shortcomings of GA, the tabu search algorithm was introduced into the optimization process, making it have better optimization ability. Through optimization experiments on 15 nodes, it was found that this method had good convergence speed. The final experiment also proved that the power planning based on the simulated annealing genetic algorithm was superior to other models (the load balance, power supply capacity matching, and coordination index scores of the substation based on the algorithm model in this article were 0.5111, 2.2693, and 120.215, respectively, which were higher than other schemes).

Published: March 2024

Abstract
With the increasing permeability rate of DPV in the distribution network, the safe and economic operation of the distribution network is faced with many challenges, among which the problem of voltage exceeding the limit must be solved urgently. A method for distributed voltage reactive power control, which involves coordinating DPV and SVC, is suggested to enhance the voltage regulation capacity in high-permeability distribution networks. Firstly, considering the limited reactive power regulation capacity of DPV, a coordinated control strategy is proposed to enable SVC when the reactive power capacity of DPV is insufficient. Secondly, a voltage-reactive power control model for distribution networks is established, with a focus on minimizing node voltage deviations and network losses. An adaptive penalty factor adjustment strategy, based on the alternating direction multiplier method, is introduced to achieve a comprehensive solution for this model. Finally, the enhanced IEEE 33-node system is utilized for verification and analysis. The outcomes demonstrate that the suggested coordination strategy involving DPV and SVC, alongside the distributed optimization control method, offers economic advantages and effectively achieves the safe and cost-effective operation of the distribution network.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
On account of the fluctuation and randomness of wind speed, the output power of wind turbines fluctuates greatly, which may cause the frequency change of the power grid and increase the difficulty of power system dispatching. To solve this problem, an active power smoothing control (APSC) strategy based on RMC for offshore wind power systems is proposed in this paper. Compared with existing wind power converter systems, RMC adopted in this paper has the advantages of compact structure, small volume and high conversion efficiency. Based on the analysis of the exponential moving average (EMA) algorithm, a method for determining active power based on the fuzzy EMA algorithm is proposed. The method adjusts the cycle number N in real-time according to the wind speed, taking into account both the wind energy utilization rate and the smoothing performance of active power. The control principle of offshore wind power generation system (WPGS) based on RMC is analyzed in detail and the coordinated control strategy of RMC and inverter is proposed. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method and control strategy.

Optical signatures of moiré trapped biexcitons
Authors: Brem Samuel , Malic Ermin 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Atomically thin heterostructures formed by twisted transition metal dichalcogenides can be used to create periodic moiré patterns. The emerging moiré potential can trap interlayer excitons into arrays of strongly interacting bosons, which form a unique platform to study strongly correlated many-body states. In order to create and manipulate these exotic phases of matter, a microscopic understanding of exciton–exciton interactions and their manifestation in these systems becomes indispensable. Recent density-dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements have revealed novel spectral features indicating the formation of trapped multi-exciton states providing important information about the interaction strength. In this work, we develop a microscopic theory to model the PL spectrum of trapped multi-exciton complexes focusing on the emission from moiré trapped single- and biexcitons. Based on an excitonic Hamiltonian we determine the properties of trapped biexcitons as function of twist angle and use these insights to predict the luminescence spectrum of moiré excitons for different densities. We demonstrate how side peaks resulting from transitions to excited states and a life time analysis can be utilized as indicators for moiré trapped biexcitons and provide crucial information about the excitonic interaction strength.
Global imaging for polarization resolved second harmonic generation of WS2 monolayers
Authors: Aleithan Shrouq H 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) is a nonlinear optical effect enhanced by broken crystallin symmetry and is very sensitive to electronic structures. SHG has recently been applied to two-dimensional transition metals dichalcogenides (2D-TMDs). 2D-TMDs have been the focus of much recent research due to their ultrathin scale, high quantum confinement, and energy gap toning ability that results in unique linear or nonlinear optical and electrical properties. WS2 monolayers are well-known 2D TMDs with strong SHG. They have attracted a great deal of interest due to their potential applications in fundamental material characterization and nanophotonic device development. In this study, we grew WS2 monolayers using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique and characterized them with Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The intense direct excitonic peak A at 630 nm was identified in the PL spectra, while the Raman spectra exhibited the two distinctive modes A1g (at 418 cm−1) and E2g (at 356 cm−1). The monolayers were pumped by an 830 nm circularly polarized and defused pulsed laser to produce the SHG image. global one-shot SH images for different growth shapes were obtained and crystalline domains were identified using polarization-resolved second-harmonic generation imaging (PRSHGI). The defect level was observed to clearly enhance the SHG signal following the increase in broken crystalline centrosymmetric and relaxing the optical selection roles at the valley degree of freedom.

Abstract
Recent rapid economic development in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR) has increased national fuel consumption, vehicle fleet, industrial output, waste generation, and agricultural production. This has contributed to national average ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollutant levels that are four times higher than World Health Organisation guidelines. Emission inventories are a key tool in understanding the major sources to these air pollution levels, and provide a starting point to identify where mitigation action can be targeted. A national air pollutant emission inventory has not been developed in Lao PDR and, combined with a limited air quality monitoring network means there is limited capacity to develop and track the effectiveness of mitigation actions. This study describes the first air pollutant emission inventory at the national and provincial scale for Lao PDR, covering 2013–2019. Emissions of nine air pollutants, and two greenhouse gases, were quantified using national statistics and international default emission factors. In 2019, national total PM2.5, Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Black Carbon (BC), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Non-Methane Volatile Organic Carbons (NMVOCs), and Ammonia (NH3) were 125, 83, 9.7, 26, 219, and 99 thousand tonnes respectively. Key source sectors include forest fires, residential cooking, agriculture, electricity generation, and transport. However, the contribution of different sources varies across provinces. Forest fires are the primary source determining the spatial trend of particulate air pollution while residential and agricultural emissions contribute more significantly to rural provinces such as Savannakhet. Key sectors in major urban provinces (Vientiane Capital and Xayaboury) are industry, transport and electricity generation. These sectors are also significant sources of greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4), demonstrating the potential for identification, evaluation and prioritisation of actions that simultaneously improve air quality and achieve Lao PDR’s international climate change commitments.

Authors: Singh Gurpreet , Chanda Arnab 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Diabetic foot complications are a widespread issue that causes significant medical, economic, and social burdens for individuals and their families worldwide. Neuropathy often leads to foot ulceration, which is a prevalent consequence of diabetes. Diabetic foot ulcers are commonly diagnosed and pose challenging consequences due to their morbidity, increased risk of lower limb amputation, and related mortality. In recent years, researchers have increasingly used finite element (FE) analysis to simulate the biomechanics of diabetic foot. The primary objective of these simulations is to estimate the mechanical loading conditions for healthy and diseased foot and provide insights into novel interventions such as insole designs, surgical procedures, etc This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the literature on finite element modeling and analysis of diabetic foot, focusing on computationally accurate foot modeling, ulcer modeling, and simulation-based management. This review aims to provide researchers a concise description of FE modeling research on diabetic foot while highlighting their potential for future advancements. The summarized literature will be helpful for the development of suitable interventions such as insoles, footwear, and orthotics for the management of diabetic foot pre- and post- ulceration.
Life cycle assessment of green–grey coastal flood protection infrastructure: a case study from New Orleans
Authors: Hasan Rahaf , McPhillips Lauren , Warn Gordon , Bilec Melissa 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The study compared the life cycle environmental impacts of three coastal flood management strategies: grey infrastructure (levee), green–grey infrastructure (levee and oyster reef), and a do-nothing scenario, considering the flood damage of a single flooding event in the absence of protection infrastructure. A case study was adopted from a New Orleans, Louisiana residential area to facilitate the comparison. Hazus software, design guidelines, reports, existing projects, and literature were utilized as foreground data for modelling materials. A process-based life cycle assessment was used to assess environmental impacts. The life cycle environmental impacts included global warming, ozone depletion, acidification, eutrophication, smog formation, resource depletion, ecotoxicity, and various human health effects. The ecoinvent database was used for the selected life cycle unit processes. The mean results show green–grey infrastructure as the most promising strategy across most impact categories, reducing 47% of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to the do-nothing strategy. Compared to grey infrastructure, green–grey infrastructure mitigates 13%–15% of the environmental impacts while providing equivalent flood protection. A flooding event with a 100-year recurrence interval in the study area is estimated at 34 million kg of CO2 equivalent per kilometre of shoreline, while grey and green–grey infrastructure mitigating such flooding is estimated to be 21 and 18 million kg, respectively. This study reinforced that coastal flooding environmental impacts are primarily caused by rebuilding damaged houses, especially concrete and structural timber replacement, accounting for 90% of GHG emissions, with only 10% associated with flood debris waste treatment. The asphalt cover of the levee was identified as the primary contributor to environmental impacts in grey infrastructure, accounting for over 75% of GHG emissions during construction. We found that there is an important interplay between grey and green infrastructure and optimizing their designs can offer solutions to sustainable coastal flood protection.
Introduction
Authors: O'Loughlin Ailbhe 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter introduces the case study underpinning this book: the Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder (DSPD) Programme and the DSPD Programme’s successor, the Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) Pathway. It contextualizes developments in England and Wales in light of two broader movements in penal practices in Western countries. First, a trend towards exclusionary practices of preventive detention for ‘dangerous’ offenders and seemingly more progressive or inclusive practices of rehabilitation. Second, a growth in legal mechanisms of preventive justice, the rise of the preventive state, and the development of a coercive human rights doctrine that promotes punitive and precautionary policies against ‘dangerous’ offenders. It sets out how, by viewing the law in its historical context, we can come to a fuller understanding of how offenders with personality disorders are constructed by legal discourses. Finally, it introduces the book’s methodology, structure, and main arguments.
Mr. Wix of . . . Vaudeville
Authors: Erdman Andrew L 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Julian Eltinge was offered a role in the musical comedy Mr. Wix of Wickham in 1904. Eltinge hoped for a conventional part but was hired for a crossdressed role. While the young actor stood out as one of the production’s few bright spots, the show was unsuccessful, leaving him with no clear path. He did not have reputation enough to break into Broadway, nor did he care to return to semi-professional work. Fortunately, big-time vaudeville provided Julian Eltinge with a perfect opportunity to display his artistry for mainstream crowds across the country. “Vaudeville,” which at the time was successfully becoming the first mass-market entertainment for the middle classes, consciously distanced itself from working-class variety and saloon entertainment, even while importing and supposedly sanitizing much of its content. Eltinge parlayed his stateside success into a well-received European tour, increasing his brand value and recognition.
Standardization of key performance indicators and metrics for investigational drug services: Consensus recommendations among IDS specialists
Authors: Schmidt Molly , Carlson Lisa Janssen , Murphy Jennifer , Amin Sapna R , Lockhorst Robin , Luedtke Kyle 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Purpose
There are currently no consensus guidelines on establishing metrics for investigational drug services (IDS). Because of the complexity of research protocols, it remains difficult for sites to track pharmacy productivity and create a baseline for IDS growth within the institution, as well as to perform benchmarking with peer institutions. The goal of this study was to help establish practical guidance for IDS metrics and site utility as applicable.

Methods
This was a survey-based project conducted by the metrics subgroup of the Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association (HOPA) IDS special interest group (SIG), which was formed specifically for this analysis. Three surveys developed by the metrics subgroup were sent to members of the IDS HOPA SIG to gather metrics. The first survey included questions about what metrics IDS sites currently collect. The identified metrics were then condensed into categories. Through a consensus-based approach, standardized definitions were established and applied to future surveys. The 2 subsequent surveys sent to HOPA SIG members helped create a list of top recommended metrics that are recommended for every IDS site to track.

Results
A total of 3 surveys were sent to 75 recipients, with the response rate ranging from 24% to 38%. From these surveys and consensus with the metrics subgroup, 5 top recommended metrics were identified: (1) active protocols; (2) dispenses; (3) new clinical trials initiated; (4) patients treated; and (5) clinical interventions.

Conclusion
These recommended metrics should serve as guidance and allow for standardization to help ensure adequate resources are available for IDS pharmacy staff. These recommendations should serve as a basis for standardization and benchmarking with peer institutions.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Topical antiaging therapies provide noninvasive delivery of active therapeutics. Exosomes, or extracellular nanovesicles, and peptides, small strings of amino acids, have shown promise as topical therapies in early trials, but neither is FDA approved. This review aims to elucidate the current and future landscape of topical exosomes and peptides as therapeutics for skin rejuvenation. A literature search was conducted using the keywords “peptides” OR “exosomes” AND “skin” OR “rejuvenation.” Primary endpoints included mechanisms of action in humans or live animals as well as clinical data supporting the use of exosomes or peptides topically for skin rejuvenation or wound healing. Secondary endpoints were safety, side effects, and efficacy. The articles were collected, organized, and sorted using the Covidence software (Melbourne, Australia) for systematic review. Nine articles evaluating topical application of exosomes and 9 of peptides met inclusion criteria. Topical exosomes were found to increase collagen deposition, accelerate wound healing, and improve overall cosmesis. Several clinical trials are currently underway. Topical peptides were found to improve appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, elasticity and viscoelasticity, skin texture, skin thickness, and the potential for accelerated wound healing. Peptides are quite common in “cosmeceutical” products, and several patents have been filed for topical peptide products aimed at increasing skin rejuvenation. This could indicate a movement toward pursuing FDA approval. The future of topical exosome and peptide products for the purpose of skin rejuvenation appears promising. Preliminary data from the studies reviewed here indicates that these products have the potential to be safe and effective.
