Terpenes are the most abundant class of natural product that exist in nature. They possess a myriad industrial applications including pharmaceutical, perfumery and flavors, bulk chemicals, fuel. Intriguingly, until today, vast majority characterized terpenoids have been isolated from plants fungi, only recent years bacteria were found to generate representative reservoir molecules. Mining Strep...

Potential-induced degradation (PID) of photovoltaic (PV) modules is one the most severe types in modern modules, where power losses depend on strength electric field, temperature and relative humidity, PV module materials. Understanding how defects impact PID key to reducing issue. This work investigates cracks fractural solar cells their PID. We have tested using electroluminescence (EL) imagi...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE This study aims at the evaluation of the efficacy and safety of a combination therapy based on pidobenzone 4% and fractional CO2 laser or cryotherapy in the treatment of solar lentigines and the prevention of eventual posttreatment hyperchromia. METHODS Efficacy was clinically evaluated by grading the pigmentation level with the Skin Tone Color Scale (STCS), and by gradin...

A saw-toothed chessboard, or STC for short, is a kind of chessboard whose boundary forms two staircases from left down to right without any hole inside it. A rook at square (i, j) can dominate the squares in row i and in column j . The rook problem of an STC is to determine the minimum number of rooks that can dominate all squares of the STC. In this paper, we model an STC by two particular gra...

[1] Subtropical cells (STCs) connect subduction zones of the eastern subtropics of both hemispheres to the equatorial current systems via equatorward flow in the thermocline. Some of this thermocline water is converted back into warm near-surface water in the eastern equatorial cold tongue from whence it is exported poleward. Here we examine the export pathways from the cold tongue in the Atlan...

The pairwise-error probability upper bounds of space–time codes (STCs) in independent Rician fading channels are derived in this letter. Based on the performance analysis, novel code design criteria for slow and fast Rayleigh fading channels are developed. It is found that in fading channels, STC design criterion depends on the value of the possible diversity gain of the system. In slow fading ...

Aim: It is aimed to evaluate the prevalence, and types of soft tissue calcifications (STCs) on panoramic radiographs edentulous patients.
 
 Material Methods: 1308 images were randomly selected from patients who applied Necmettin Erbakan University for various dental problems in 2020 2021. In these radiographs, tonsillolith, sialolith, calcified atherosclerotic plaque (CAP), stylohyoi...

The BAC-end sequencing, or sequence-tagged-connector (STC), approach to genome sequencing involves sequencing the ends of BAC inserts to scatter sequence tags (STCs) randomly across the genome. Once any BAC or other large segment of DNA is sequenced to completion by conventional shotgun approaches, these STC tags can be used to identify a minimum tiling path of BAC clones overlapping the nuclea...

The comparison between I-V (current-voltage) curves measured on site and declared by the manufacturer allows to detect decrease of performance control degradation photovoltaic modules strings. On site, are usually obtained under operating conditions (OPCs), i.e. at variable solar radiation module temperature. OPC must be translated into standard test (STCs), a global irradiance 1000 W/m2 temper...
