Thyroid hormone (T(3)) acts in chondrocytes and bone-forming osteoblasts to control bone development and maintenance, but the signaling pathways mediating these effects are poorly understood. Thrb(PV/PV) mice have a severely impaired pituitary-thyroid axis and elevated thyroid hormone levels due to a dominant-negative mutant T(3) receptor (TRβ(PV)) that cannot bind T(3) and interferes with the ...

Solar energy is one of the most abundant sources of renewable energy for the future. This solar energy can be extracted by PV system. Many methods for PV installation are carried out, such as roof top PV system, dam top PV system; floating PV, canal top PV system etc. In canal top system, PV panels are placed above the water canal which saves installation area and reduces evaporation loss. The ...

The modeling of PV (photovoltaic) systems is very crucial for embedded power system applications and maximum power point tracking. This paper presents a PV array model using Matlab/Simulink with the assistance of SimPowerSystem toolbox. The PV cell is considered as the main building block for simulating and monitoring the PV array performance. The PV model has been developed and used as Simulin...

A model, suitable for a row or multiple rows of photovoltaic (PV) modules, is presented for estimating the backside irradiance for bifacial PV modules. The model, which includes the effects of shading by the PV rows, is based on the use of configuration factors to determine the fraction of a source of irradiance that is received by the backside of the PV module. Backside irradiances are modeled...

The gammaproteobacterium Xanthomonas citri pv. citri causes Asiatic citrus canker. Pathotype A strains have a broad host range, which includes most commercial citrus species, and they cause important economic losses worldwide. Control often relies on frequent copper sprays. We present here the complete genomes of six X. citri pv. citri copper-resistant strains.

The principle sPHPb (PV (α)) states that no oracle circuit can compute a surjection of a onto b. We show that sPHP P (a)(PV (α)) is independent of PV1(α)+ sPHP π(a) Π(a)(PV (α)) for various choices of the parameters π, Π, %, P . We also improve the known separation of iWPHP(PV ) from S 2 + sWPHP(PV ) under cryptographic assumptions.

The usage of valuable resources and the generation of emissions during the life cycle of photovoltaic (PV) technologies dictate our proactive planning for a sound PV recycling infrastructure to ensure its sustainability. Some global PV manufacturers have begun recycling PV wastes generated from the PV manufacturing processes and the Endof-Life (EoL) PV modules. Therefore, it is vital to develop...

Picornaviral RNA replication utilizes a small virus-encoded protein, termed 3B or VPg, as a primer to initiate RNA synthesis. This priming step requires uridylylation of the VPg peptide by the viral polymerase protein 3D(pol), in conjunction with other viral or host cofactors. In this study, we compared the viral specificity in 3D(pol)-catalyzed uridylylation reactions between poliovirus (PV) a...

Introduction: Potential vorticity (hereafter PV) is a dynamical tracer which is a product of the absolute vorticity and static stability of the atmosphere. PV can be redistributed but neither created or destroyed on an isentropic surface in the absence of friction and diabatic processes [1]. The conservation principle explains why PV is used to study polar vortices on Earth. PV contains informa...
