The molecular features of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae strains isolated in Korea were compared with strains isolated in Japan and Italy. Sequencing of eight P. syringae pv. actinidiae and three P. syringae pv. theae strains revealed a total of 44 single nucleotide polymorphisms across 4,818 bp of the concatenated alignment of nine genes. A multiplex PCR assay was developed for the detect...

Abstract: This paper provides a review on various PV simulator technologies as well as presents a novel equivalent photovoltaic (PV) source that was constructed by using un-illuminated solar panels and a DC power supply that operates in current source mode. The constructed PV source was used for testing photovoltaic converters and various maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms required ...

Polycythemia vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative disorder associated with neurologic sequelae. The most severe neurologic processes affecting patients with PV are thrombotic and hemorrhagic strokes. Few cases published in the medical literature describe developments of other neurologic symptoms, including papilledema, oculomotor nerve palsy, one-and-a-half syndrome, and trochlear nerve syndrome, ...

Photovoltaic systems are attractive renewable energy sources for Thailand because of high daily solar irradiation, about 18 MJ/m2/day. Furthermore, renewable energy is boosted by the government incentive on adders on electricity from renewable energy like solar PV, wind and biomass, introduced in the second half of 2000s. For PV systems, domestic rooftop PV units, commercial rooftop PV units an...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Percutaneous portal vein (PV) stent placement is used to manage PV occlusion or stenosis caused by malignancy. The use of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has expanded to include vascular interventions. The aim of this study was to examine the technical feasibility and safety of EUS-guided transhepatic PV stent placement in a live porcine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS...

This paper presents a new system configuration for a large-scale Photovoltaic (PV) power system with multi-line transmission/distribution networks. A PV power plant is reconfigured in a way that two adjacent power system networks/ feeders can be interconnected. The inverter modules in a PV power plant are configured such that the system is represented as a back to back inverter connected multi-...

Parvalbumin (PV)-producing fast-spiking neurons are well known to generate gamma oscillation by mutual chemical and electrical connections in the neocortex. Although it was clearly demonstrated that PV neurons form a dense gap junction network with each other not only at the proximal sites but also at the distal dendrites, comprehensive quantitative data on the chemical connections are still la...

Recent advancements in photovoltaic (PV) system technologies have decreased their investment cost and enabled the construction of large PV farms for bulk power generations. The output power of PV farms is aaected by both failure of composed components and solar radiation variability. These two factors cause the output power of PV farms be random and diierent from that of conventional units. The...

An N-glycosylated 60-kDa PV-1 protein that binds heparin was detected in mouse lung from a single mRNA transcript. In the absence of disulfide bond reduction PV-1 is detected as a dimer or large molecular weight oligomer. In the lung of Cav-1, but not Cav-2, null mice the amount of PV-1 protein is diminished, with no detectable change in mRNA level. PV-1 does not fractionate with caveolae on a ...
