description: Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate how the impact energy is apportioned between chest deflection and translation of the vehicle occupant for various side impact conditions.Methods: The Autoliv Total Human Model for Safety (modified THUMS v1.4) was subjected to localized lateral constant velocity impacts to the upper body. First, the impact tests performed on postmortem human subjects (PMHS) were replicated to evaluate THUMS biofidelity. In these tests, a 75-mm-tall flat probe impacted the thorax at 3 m/s at 3 levels (shoulder, upper chest, and mid-chest) and 3 angles (lateral, +15° posterolateral, and −15° anterolateral), for a stroke of 72 mm. Second, a parametric analysis was performed: the Autoliv THUMS response to a 250-mm impact was evaluated for varying impact levels (shoulder to mid-thorax by 50-mm increments), obliquity (0° [pure lateral] to +20° [posterior impacts] and to −20° [anterior impacts], by 5° steps), and impactor pitch (from 0 to 25° by 5° steps). A total of 139 simulations were run. The impactor force, chest deflection, spine displacement, and spine velocity were calculated for each simulation.Results: The Autoliv THUMS biofidelity was found acceptable. Overall, the predictions from the model were in good agreement with the PMHS results. The worst ratings were observed for the anterolateral impacts. For the parametric analysis, maximum chest deflection (MCD) and maximum spine displacement (MSD) were found to consistently follow opposite trends with increasing obliquity. This trend was level dependent, with greater MCD (lower MSD) for the higher impact levels. However, the spine velocity for the 250-mm impactor stroke followed an independent trend that could not be linked to MCD or MSD. This suggests that the spine velocity, which can be used as a proxy for the thorax kinetic energy, needs to be included in the design parameters of countermeasures for side impact protection.Conclusion: The parametric analysis reveals a trade-off between the deformation of the chest (and therefore the risk of rib fracture) and the lateral translation of the spine: reducing the maximum chest deflection comes at the cost of increasing the occupant lateral displacement. The trade-off between MCD and MSD is location dependent, which suggests that an optimum point of loading on the chest for the action of a safety system can be found.

title: Linking Mindreading and Metacognition: The Case of Autism Spectrum Disorder
Creators: name: Carpenter, Katie
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: The aim of this thesis is to establish if the ability to attribute mental states to ourselves (metacognition) and others (mindreading) rely on the same underlying processes. To address this question, the thesis presents multiple studies using novel methods to examine the relationship between these two abilities. It also extends the findings beyond a purely relational nature and examines the question of whether there is a dissociation between mindreading and metacognition among autistic people, a group known to have mindreading difficulties. If indeed there is a relationship, and no dissociation is found, then this is in line with the notion that mindreading and metacognition rely on the same underlying processes.

description: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental disorder that can be developed after witnessing or experiencing extremely traumatic events. PTSD can affect anyone, regardless of ethnicity, or culture. An estimated one in every eleven people will experience PTSD during their lifetime. The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) and the PTSD Check List for Civilians (PCL-C) interviews are gold standards in the diagnosis of PTSD. These questionnaires can be fooled by the subject's responses. This work proposes a deep learning-based approach that achieves state-of-the-art performances for PTSD detection using audio recordings during clinical interviews. Our approach is based on MFCC low-level features extracted from audio recordings of clinical interviews, followed by deep high-level learning using a Stochastic Transformer. Our proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art performances with an RMSE of 2.92 on the eDAIC dataset thanks to the stochastic depth, stochastic deep learning layers, and stochastic activation function.

description: Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the fidelity of the C/FMVSS 213 test bench, by comparing the dynamic performance of forward-facing child restraint systems (FFCRS) mounted on the C/FMVSS 213 sled bench versus mounted on a selection of production vehicle seats.Methods: The C/FMVSS 213 bench or one of 3 second-row original equipment manufacturer vehicle seats was mounted to the deck of acceleration crash sled. An FFCRS with a restrained anthropomorphic test device (ATD) was secured by 3-point belt (3-PT) or LATCH lower anchor (LLA) on the C/FMVSS 213 bench or vehicle seat, with or without a tether. The sled was then exposed to a 48 km/h acceleration pulse. Three unique make and model vehicle seats and FFCRS were tested. Fifty-three sled tests were performed.Results: When FFCRS were secured with LLA and no tether, little difference between the vehicle seats and 213 bench was observed. Similarly, when FFCRS were affixed with 3-PT and no tether, few kinematic variable differences achieved statistical significance; chest resultant acceleration was, on average, 9.1 g (SD = 6.6, P =.006) higher on the vehicle seats compared to the bench, as was CRS seatback excursion (difference [Δ] of 39.8 mm, SD = 32.7, P =.011) and ATD knee excursion (Δ = 36.4 mm, SD = 12.0, P g, SD = 7.2, P g, SD = 6.0, P =.005) were higher on the vehicle seats compared to the bench, as were the injury metrics for head and chest injury: ΔHIC15 = 162.2 (SD = 87.4, P =.001) and ΔChest 3 ms clip = 5.5 g (SD = 6.2, P =.040). Of note, CRS (Δ = 62.8 mm, SD = 32.7, P =.000) and ATD head (Δ = 66.3 mm, SD = 30.9, P =.000) and knee (Δ = 46.9 mm, SD = 25.8, P =.001) forward excursion were all higher on the vehicle seats compared to the bench in 3-PT with tether condition.Conclusions: Without the tether attached, we observed few kinematic and kinetic differences between the vehicle seat and the C/FMVSS 213 bench, suggesting that the bench is an adequate surrogate for the vehicle seat in this condition. With the tether attached, we found significant differences between the C/FMVSS 213 bench and vehicle seats, suggesting that the fidelity of the bench could be improved in the tethered mode. When differences were statistically significant, excursion and injury metrics were generally greater on the vehicle seats than on the C/FMVSS 213 bench.
The influence of biophysical processes on distributions of the whale shark Rhincodon typus (Smith 1828), at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia

description: This thesis addresses the broad questions; ‘(i) What are the spatial / temporal distributions of whale sharks, (ii) how do these compare to marine megafauna with different trophic and metabolic strategies, and (iii) how are they influenced by biophysical variables in the north east Indian Ocean?’ Broad scale biophysical variables were compared with historical seasonal whale shark sightings at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia using generalised linear mixedeffects modelling (GLMM). The combined variables: Southern Oscillation Index and wind shear had greatest support for explaining increased whale shark abundance during La Nińa years. Finer scale spatial and temporal (i.e. within reef, weekly) distribution patterns of krill feeders and other trophic groups of marine megafauna at Ningaloo Reef were determined through GIS and GLMM analysis of sightings and satellite derived biophysical variables. At local scales, relative biomass of krill feeders (i.e. whale sharks, minke whales and manta rays) were linked to bathymetry, but further investigations were required to determine how physical processes influenced their movement. Using an agent-based diffusion model and GLMMs, the movements of four whale sharks (tracked via satellite tags) were compared to geostrophic surface currents to determine whether sharks were passively drifting in currents or actively swimming. Results from the agent based diffusion model and GLMMs found that there was little support for passive drifting, and suggests that shark diving patterns would provide more information on associations with biophysical factors. Using GLMMs whale shark dive patterns were modelled to determine the influence of temperature and dissolved oxygen on their 3-dimensional profiles. Whale shark dives were linked to temperature and dissolved oxygen presumably due to physiological limitations of large aquatic poikilotherns and energetic conservation mechanisms.

description: Objective: The goal of the study is to compare the kinematics and dynamics of the THOR dummy in a frontal impact under the action of 2 state-of-the-art restraint systems.Methods: Ten frontal sled tests were performed with THOR at 2 different impact speeds (35 and 9 km/h). Two advanced restraint systems were used: a pretensioned force-limiting belt (PT+FL) and a pretensioned belt incorporating an inflatable portion (PT+BB). Dummy measurements included upper and lower neck reactions, multipoint thoracic deflection, and rib deformation. Data were acquired at 10,000 Hz. Three-dimensional motion of relevant dummy landmarks was tracked at 1,000 Hz. Results are reported in a local coordinate system moving with the test buck.Results: Average forward displacement of the head was greater when the PT+FL belt was used (35 km/h: 376.3 ± 16.1 mm [PT+BB] vs. 393.6 ± 26.1 mm [PT+FL]; 9 km/h: 82.1 ± 26.0 mm [PT+BB] vs. 98.8 ± 0.2 mm [PT+FL]). The forward displacement of T1 was greater for the PT+FL belt at 35 km/h but smaller at 9 km/h. The forward motion of the pelvis was greater when the PT+BB was used, exhibiting a difference of 82 mm in the 9 km/h tests and 95.5 mm in the 35 km/h test. At 35 km/h, upper shoulder belt forces were similar (PT+FL: 4,756.8 ± 116.6 N; PT+BB: 4,957.7 ± 116.4 N). At 9 km/h, the PT+BB belt force was significantly greater than the PT+FL one. Lower neck flexion moments were higher for the PT+BB at 35 km/h but lower at 9 km/h (PT+FL: 34.2 ± 3.5 Nm; PT+BB: 26.8 ± 2.1 Nm). Maximum chest deflection occurred at the chest upper left region for both belts and regardless of the speed.Conclusion: The comparison of the performance of different restraints requires assessing occupant kinematics and dynamics from a global point of view. Even if the force acting on the chest is similar, kinematics can be substantially different. The 2 advanced belts compared here showed that while the PT+BB significantly reduced peak and resultant chest deflection, the resulting kinematics indicated an increased forward motion of the pelvis and a reduced rotation of the occupant's torso. Further research is needed to understand how these effects can influence the protection of real occupants in more realistic vehicle environments.

description: El articulo trata sobe la intervención en polígonos residenciales de los años 60 en Galicia, polígonos del movimiento modern que necesitan ser regenerados. Se plantea la transformación de tejidos urbanos mediante estrategias sostenibles y de intervención integral. Introducción y estado actual Desde los años 60 se han sucedido cíclicamente períodos de crecimiento y de crisis o recesión. En este momento se acaba de terminar un gran ciclo expansive de nuestra economía, más prolongado y productivo que ningún otro en la construcción de viviendas. Pero una vez que el ciclo expansionista ha terminado y que nos encontramos en la que seguramente es la crisis económica más importante del último siglo, es necesario replantearse políticas económicas y de vivienda muy distintas, en donde se valore la rehabilitación del parque actual de viviendas y de los barrios de las ciudades frente a otros modelos expansionistas, de crecimiento y de transformación de suelo rústico virgen. Parece, por tanto oportuno, intentar extraer conclusiones y abrir vías futuras de trabajo que tengan relación con la práctica profesional. En este sentido, dos enfoques parecen los más directos: —— El reciclado de los polígonos construidos por el INV en los años sesenta y setenta. —— El aprendizaje de esta experiencia para trasmitirla a los nuevos planes parciales que se ejecuten en el futuro En relación a la primera línea, existen una serie de problemas que sufrieron o sufren este tipo de tramas urbanas: Estas piezas urbanas presentan una importante segregación con los barrios vecinos, lo que obliga a una casi exclusiva vinculación con el resto de la ciudad a través del coche, y favorece la fragmentación del territorio urbano, y la falta de continuidad con los tejidos consolidados. Existe una fuerte disminución de la complejidad y densidad urbana en relación a otras zonas, originada por usos monofuncionales, que provoca la falta de actividad en muchas zonas y a muchas horas del día......

description: Despite being highly prevalent, adolescent mental health problems are undertreated. To better understand the mental health treatment gap, we assessed the prevalence and correlates of help-seeking, including perceived need for care and access to that care. Data were drawn from Young Minds Matter (YMM) survey-the second Australian child and adolescents survey of mental health and wellbeing. Parent-reported data and self-reported child data were combined into one dataset to analyse 2464 Australian adolescents aged 13-17 years. We employed bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models to assess the correlation between independent variables (professionally assessed with mental disorders only, self-reported self-harm/suicidality only and both) and their distribution over outcome variables (perceived need and service use). Mental disorders include depression, anxiety, ADHD and conduct disorder. Our study revealed 15.0%, 4.6% and 7.7% had professionally assessed with mental disorders only, self-reported self-harm/suicidality only and both, respectively. Overall, 47.4% and 27.5% of adolescents respectively perceived need for care and used services in the past-12-months. While among those only who perceived the need, only 53% of adolescents used any services. Professionally assessed with mental disorders only, self-reported self-harm/suicidality only and both were associated with higher likelihood of perceived need and service use (p

description: Cosmological galaxy formation simulations are powerful tools to understand the complex processes that govern the formation and evolution of galaxies. However, evaluating the realism of these simulations remains a challenge. The two common approaches for evaluating galaxy simulations is either through scaling relations based on a few key physical galaxy properties, or through a set of pre-defined morphological parameters based on galaxy images. This paper proposes a novel image-based method for evaluating the quality of galaxy simulations using unsupervised deep learning anomaly detection techniques. By comparing full galaxy images, our approach can identify and quantify discrepancies between simulated and observed galaxies. As a demonstration, we apply this method to SDSS imaging and NIHAO simulations with different physics models, parameters, and resolution. We further compare the metric of our method to scaling relations as well as morphological parameters. We show that anomaly detection is able to capture similarities and differences between real and simulated objects that scaling relations and morphological parameters are unable to cover, thus indeed providing a new point of view to validate and calibrate cosmological simulations against observed data.

description: Objective: Pretensioners reduce the seat belt slack and couple the occupant early to the restraint system. There is a growing prevalence of rear seat pretensioners and it is essential to determine whether the load from the pretensioner itself can cause injuries to rear-seated children. The aim of the study was to investigate the loading to the neck, chest, and abdomen of various sizes of anthropometric test devices (ATDs) during the pretensioner deployment phase and the crash phase in low-severity frontal sled tests and during static deployment.Methods: Low-severity frontal sled tests were conducted with the Hybrid III (HIII) 3-year-old, HIII 6-year-old, HIII 5th percentile, and HIII 50th percentile ATDs. Two different retractor pretensioners with varying pretensioner force were used. The child ATDs were restrained on a booster cushion (BC), with and without a back. The loading to the neck and chest was compared to injury assessment reference values (IARVs) reported by Mertz et al. (2003). The chest loading to the HIII 5th percentile and HIII 50th percentile ATDs was also analyzed using age-related injury risk curves. Static pretensioner tests with the Q-series 10-year-old ATD, equipped with an advanced abdominal loading device, were conducted in standard ATD position and out-of-position with the lap belt positioned high on the abdomen.Results: During the crash phase, head excursion and neck loading were reduced for both pretensioners for all ATDs compared to testing without a pretensioner. The pretensioner reduced chest deflection to the adult ATDs but not to child ATDs when seated on a BC with a back during the crash phase. When the back was removed, chest deflection was reduced below IARV. The head excursion was reduced for all ATDs with both pretensioners.During the pretensioner deployment phase, the chest deflection exceeded the IARV for the HIII 3-year-old with the stronger pretensioner when seated on booster with a back and it was reduced below the IARV with the lower force pretensioner. For all ATDs, neck and chest loading during the pretensioner deployment phase were reduced when a pretensioner with lower force was used.Abdominal loading to the Q10 in the static pretensioner deployments indicated a low risk of abdominal injury in all tested positions.Conclusion: This study indicates the need to balance the pretensioner force and seat belt geometry to gain good pretensioner performance in both the pretensioner deployment phase and the crash phase.
Photoprotection in leaves of grapevines: Responses of the xanthophyll cycle to alterations of light intensity

description: Under conditions of light intensities exceeding the photosynthetic use carotenoids of the xanthophyll cycle have been shown to be involved in the dissipation of excess energy. When, after a period of darkness, low light-adapted leaves (400 mu mol m-2 s-1) of cv. Orion vines were suddenly exposed to high light (800 mu mol m-2 s-1) the zeaxanthin (Z) content of the leaves increased significantly within 3 min at the expense of violaxanthin (V); a steady state was reached after ca. 20 min. On the contrary, when high light-adapted leaves were abruptly exposed to darkness the Z content decreased and the V content increased to a steady state within 2.5 h. In both trials, the intermediate substance of the xanthophyll cycle, antheraxanthin (A), remained almost constant at a relative low level. In field experiments with cv. Gf.Ga-47-42 an increase of sunlight in the morning was accompanied by increases of A+Z and decreases of V while a decline of sunlight in the afternoon was associated with decreases of A+Z and an increase of V. In laboratory and field experiment the xanthophyll-irradiance relation showed hysteresis. The epoxidation state (EPS, V+0.5A / V+A+Z) decreased in the morning to a minimum at noon and then increased again in the afternoon reflecting a distinct depression of photosynthesis at midday.

description: The potential use of non-tumorigenic agrobacteria for the biological control of grapevine crown gall in Italy was investigated. Four Agrobacterium strains belonging to the species radiobacter and vitis were used to protect the susceptible cv. Malvasia Istriana grafted on the rootstock 420 A. Moreover, the effect of each treatment on grapevine vitality and growth was assessed, including the percentage of marketable vines, as determined by industry standards. Treatments with the antagonists clearly reduced tissue colonization by the pathogen, with a drop of more than 100-fold in pathogen populations in the samples collected at the graft point. Another important effect was the reduction of internal necrosis possibly induced by the high concentration of the nopaline strain CG 49 used in the experiments. According to viticultural and commercial parameters, treatments with the antagonists improved the quality of the vines, with fewer discards and a high percentage of marketable material. Therefore, these antagonists can be considered beneficial for grapevine.

description: Foe amino acids in 62 Chardonnay varietal wines, originating from Australia, Argentina, South Africa, Switzerland, United States and France (Pays d'Oc, Chablis, Pouilly-Fuisse and Cote de Beaune) were analyzed. They were differentiated according to the region of production using analysis of variance, Flash Table and Canonical Variate Analysis. Wines produced in the Pays d'Oc were identified by the presence of proline, while arginine and alanine served to identify Swiss wines. Chablis wines were characterized by 16 out of 20 major amino acids analyzed. Differences were correlated with climate and therefore with maturity at harvest. However, grape maturity alone did not explain the differences between wines. These differences were also correlated with the latitude of countries. Wines from Australia, Argentina and South Africa were not easily to differentiate. Gate de Beaune wines were distinguished from other Burgundy wines (Chabris, Pouilly-Fuisse), which can be explained by wine ageing on the lees after alcoholic fermentation for 4-6 months.

description: The incidence of yeast cells and wine polysaccharides and polyphenols in the formation of adherent KHT crystals on stainless steel surfaces during cold stabilization was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. Additives were responsible for differences in the deposit configuration, the crystal shape and size as well as in the KHT crystallization kinetics. Yeast cells act as heterogeneous primary nucleation germs for KHT crystal formation. Colloids from wines interacted with KHT crystal faces and affected growth. It was confirmed that polyphenols strongly inhibit the crystallization and result in small crystals with a unidimensional growth. In contrast, with polyphenols, cubic crystals were obtained when wine polysaccharides were associated with yeast cells.

description: One major factor limiting the application of hydrogen cyanamide (H2CN2) is the difficulty in deciding when to apply, since mistiming may lead to bud and crop damage. Since an effective method for monitoring the developmental stage of dormant buds is not yet available, minimizing such a risk involves the regional evaluation of application timing. For three successive years, several H2CN2 application dates were evaluated in cv. Perlette vineyards in the Jordan valley in Israel. The level and uniformity of bud break did not differ significantly among the application dates tested. However, major effects of the application date on cluster number, cluster size and yield were found. The sensitivity of the reproductive meristem to H2CN2 is discussed.

description: Objective: Single-vehicle collisions involve only 10 percent of all occupants in crashes in the United States, yet these same crashes account for 31 percent of all fatalities. Along with other vehicle safety advancements, lane departure warning (LDW) systems are being introduced to mitigate the harmful effects of single-vehicle collisions. The objective of this study is to quantify the number of crashes and seriously injured drivers that could have been prevented in the United States in 2012 had all vehicles been equipped with LDW.Methods: In order to estimate the potential injury reduction benefits of LDW in the vehicle fleet, a comprehensive crash and injury simulation model was developed. The model's basis was 481 single-vehicle collisions extracted from the NASS-CDS for year 2012. Each crash was simulated in 2 conditions: (1) as it occurred and (2) as if the driver had an LDW system. By comparing the simulated vehicle's off-road trajectory before and after LDW, the reduction in the probability of a crash was determined. The probability of a seriously injured occupant (Maximum Abbreviated Injury Score [MAIS] 3+) given a crash was computed using injury risk curves with departure velocity and seat belt use as predictors. Each crash was simulated between 18 and 216 times to account for variable driver reaction, road, and vehicle conditions. Finally, the probability of a crash and seriously injured driver was summed over all simulations to determine the benefit of LDW.Results and Conclusions: A majority of roads where departure crashes occurred had 2 lanes and were undivided. As a result, 58 percent of crashes had no shoulder. LDW will not be as effective on roads with no shoulder as on roads with large shoulders. LDW could potentially prevent 28.9 percent of all road departure crashes caused by the driver drifting out of his or her lane, resulting in a 24.3 percent reduction in the number of seriously injured drivers.The results of this study show that LDW, if widely adopted, could significantly mitigate a harmful crash type. Larger shoulder width and the presence of lane markings, determined by manual examination of scene photographs, increased the effectiveness of LDW. This result suggests that highway systems should be modified to maximize LDW effectiveness by expanding shoulders and regularly painting lane lines.

description: This paper deals with an extension of the hub line location problem considering demand elasticity with respect to travel times. The proposed model aims to capture the impact the hub network topology has on demand. The objective is to maximize the total revenue generated by each unit of demand using the hub line. We propose mixed-integer nonlinear formulations to model this problem. We study some properties of the nonlinear objective function associated with these formulations. Due to the inherent complexity involved in solving these nonlinear formulations with state-of-the-art solvers, we also present alternative mixed-integer linear programming formulations. Computational results compare the proposed formulations and the benefits of the presented model using benchmark instances commonly used in hub location. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis study is carried out with real data from the city of Montreal, Canada, to demonstrate the added value of incorporating demand elasticity when using the proposed model for public transportation planning.

description: In vitro cultures of grapevine cultivar Arka Neelamani growing in MURASHIGE and SKOOG (1962) medium containing 3% sucrose and incubated under 16 h light (30-10 µmol.m-2s-1) per day showed high CO2 levels (600-11900 ppm) at the end of the dark period and a significant decline during the light period (330-980 ppm) indicating photosynthetic activity and photomixotrophic growth characteristic. The CO2 level at the end of a 8-h-dark period was shown to be related to the total tissue weight (wt) per culture Vessel while that during the light period was governed by the root to shoot fresh wt ratio suggesting a notable contribution by roots and inadequate light supply for full CO2 utilization. Plant growth was improved by higher light intensities (40-50 µmol° m-2°s-1). Tendril production, a characteristic of adult plants, was common during the first year of culture but showed a gradual decline by the second and third year suggesting a gradual rejuvenation effect in vitro. Transformation of tendril, an organ homologous to inflorescence, to leafy structure in some plants and better rooting with more subcultures in vitro further supported the rejuvenation hypothesis. In general, tendril production was mon common in vessels with higher CO2 levels. Plants established ex vitro invariably showed tendril production within 1-3 months indicating that the in vitro rejuvenation effect was not transmitted to the field.

description: La recherche s'est deroulee surune période de deux ans (1995-96) et a été mise en oeuvre dans une zone viticole de plaine de l'Italie du nord-est . Dans un vignoble éxperimental de Tocai friulano et de Chardonnay, nous avons comparé deux systèmes de conduite, l'un à végétation ascendante et l'autre à végétation retombante, dans le but d'analyser les éventuelles relations entre l'activité vegetative et la transpiration. Les resultats ont mis en evidence que les vignes du système retombant presentent une activite vegetative et un flux de transpiration plus bas, alors que les vignes du système ascendant ont une activité végétative et un flux de transpiration plus élevés . La recherche a démontre que la transpiration peut expliquer de facon déterminante le développement végétatif différent observé dans les deux systémes de conduite. Research on the relationship between sap flow, transpiration and vigour of grapevine with regard to the trellis system This trial was carried out in a viticultural area of northeastern Italy, during 1995 and 1996. In a Tocai friulano and Chardonnay vineyard, we compared two training systems: single curtain with downward-oriented shoots and spur cordon with upward-oriented shoots. The results emphasize that in vines with downward-oriented shoots vegetative growth and sap flow are lower than in upward-oriented shoots and, moreover, that the rate of transpiration can explain the differences in vigour and vegetative development.

description: Electrokinetic process is a potential in situ soil remediation process which transports the contaminants via electromigration and electroosmosis. For organic compounds contaminated soil, Fenton’s reagent is utilized as a flushing agent in electrokinetic process (Electrokinetic-Fenton) so that removal of organic contaminants could be achieved by in situ oxidation/destruction. However, this process is not applied widely in industries as the stability issue for Fenton’s reagent is the main drawback. The aim of this mini review is to summarize the developments of Electrokinetic-Fenton process on enhancing the stability of Fenton’s reagent and process efficiency in past decades. Generally, the enhancements are conducted via four paths: i) chemical stabilization to delay H2O2 decomposition, ii) increase of oxidant availability by monitoring injection method for Fenton’s reagent, iii) electrodes operation and iron catalysts and iv) operating conditions such as voltage gradient, electrolytes and H2O2 concentration. In addition, the types of soils and contaminants are also showing significant effect as the soil with low acid buffering capacity, adequate iron concentration, low organic matter content and low aromatic ring organic contaminants generally gives better efficiency.
