Lysobacter antibioticus 13-6, isolated from the roots of Chinese cabbage, effectively controls the pathogens Plasmodiophora brassicae, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola, X. oryzae pv. oryzae, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. dieffenbachiae, and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci. We report the first draft genome sequence of the L. antibioticus species in China.

Poliovirus (PV) is the causal agent of paralytic poliomyelitis, a disease that involves the destruction of motor neurons associated with PV replication. In PV-infected mice, motor neurons die through an apoptotic process. However, mechanisms by which PV induces cell death in neuronal cells remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that PV infection of neuronal IMR5 cells induces cytochrome c release...

Poliovirus (PV) is easily transferred to humans orally; however, no rodent model for oral infections has been developed because of the alimentary tract's low sensitivity to the virus. Here we showed that PV is inactivated by the low pH of the gastric contents in mice. The addition of 3% NaHCO3 to the viral inoculum increased the titer of virus reaching the small intestine through the stomach af...

PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy of total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) and free prostate-specific antigen (fPSA) for the estimation of prostate volume (PV) in pathologically-proven benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients. METHODS From January 2010 to March 2013, 165 Korean men with a PSA less than 10 ng/mL who were diagnosed without prostate cancer by prostate biopsy were enrolled....

Hybrid power system can be used to reduce energy storage requirements. The influence of the Deficiency of Power Supply Probability (DPSP), Relative Excess Power Generated (REPG), Energy to Load Ratio (ELR), fraction of PV and wind energy, and coverage of PV and wind energy against the system size and performance were analyzed. The technical feasibility of PV-wind hybrid system in given range of...

LETAS, Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, University Mohamed the First, Oujda 60000, Morocco. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the design and the realization of a photovoltaic system (PV system) provided with a digital MPPT regulator and a dysfunction detection circuit of the PV system (DDCS). The rol...

Installing sustainable and renewable energy systems is a promising way of relieving Hong Kong’s dependence on imported fossil fuels. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is a perfect solution for Hong Kong as it fits the economic and geographic situation. Through a review of the PV development history of five leading PV countries, Germany, Japan, Italy, Mainland China, and the USA, this paper ser...

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...

To clarify the determinants of pulmonary valve (PV) motion in pulmonary hypertension, we examined the correlations among PV echo patterns, the pulmonary artery (PA) flow curve just above the PA orifice and the pulmonary artery-right ventricle (PA-RV) pressure gradient. By constricting the PA, we could produce a variety of PV echo patterns, including midsystolic semiclosure in open-chest dogs. T...

After setting PhotoVoltaic (PV) plant up, it needs to monitor its energy performance in order to verify the correct or incorrect operation. For this aim, PV plants can be equipped with simple dataloggers or SCADA systems. When several PV plants have to be monitored, a unique supervision centre is implemented, even if each PV plant is independent from the others. From the point of view of storin...
