Subclones homozygous for JAK2V617F are more common in polycythemia vera (PV) than essential thrombocythemia (ET), but their prevalence and significance remain unclear. The JAK2 mutation status of 6495 BFU-E, grown in low erythropoietin conditions, was determined in 77 patients with PV or ET. Homozygous-mutant colonies were common in patients with JAK2V617F-positive PV and were surprisingly prev...

Parallel PV is based on the sequential PV model-checker. Sequential PV is an depth-first LTL-X model-checker for an enhanced subset of the Promela language. Parallel PV is a breadth-first safety-only model-checker. It capitalizes on PV’s two-phase partial-order reduction algorithm by carrying out partial order reduction steps with no communication, and performs state space distribution at globa...

In this work, we present a new algorithm for detecting faults in grid connected photovoltaic (GCPV) plant. There are few instances of statistical tools being deployed in the analysis of PV measured data. The main focus of this paper is, therefore, to outline a PV fault detection algorithm that can diagnose faults on the DC-side of the examined GCPV system based on the t-test statistical analysi...

PURPOSE To evaluate the hypothesis that the expression of the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin (PV) in a subpopulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurons is an appropriate molecular marker for the effect on ocular dominance plasticity of monocular deprivation during the postnatal sensitive period. METHODS Long-Evans rats underwent monocular enucleation immediately before eye op...

In the lateral hypothalamus, groups of functionally related cells tend to be widely scattered rather than confined to discrete, anatomically distinct units. However, by using parvalbumin (PV)-specific antibodies, a solitary, compact cord of PV-immunoreactive cells (the PV1-nucleus) has been identified in the ventrolateral tuberal hypothalamus in various species. Here we describe the topography,...

Less than 5% of patients with polycythemia vera (PV) show JAK2 exon 12 mutations. Although PV patients with JAK2 exon 12 mutations are known to develop post-PV myelofibrosis (MF) as well as PV with JAK2V617F, the role of JAK inhibitors in post-PV MF patients with JAK2 exon 12 mutations remains unknown. We describe how treatment with a JAK1/2 inhibitor, ruxolitinib, led to the rapid amelioration...

The output of the solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays is not constant throughout the day. It varies with time. Output change with the climatic condition, it varies in summer winter and rainy season. So we cannot get the maximum output all the time. This paper discuss the factor that effect solar PV performance in different environment condition and location of PV module. These factors may be orienta...

Solar energy plays an important role in the global energy framework for future. Comparing with conventional generation systems using fossil fuels, the cost structure of photovoltaic (PV) systems is different: the capital cost is higher while the operation cost is negligible. Reliabilities of the PV system can also influence the cost for producing electricity. Investors, planners and regulators ...

In this issue of the Journal. Ernst et al.1 report three cases of total pulmonary vein (PV) occlusion in 239 patients who underwent an ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients initially were evaluated by internists and pulmonologists and underwent extensive evaluation before the diagnosis was finally made. Despite treatment with thrombolytics, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors a...

This project proposes a voltage stability for an interline photovoltaic (I-PV) system. In an I-PV system, the inverters in a PV plant are reconfigured in such a way that two or more distribution networks / feeder are interconnected. The I-PV system is operated as a flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) device STATCOM to regulate the point of common coupling voltage on either feeder. One of th...
