Partial shading and rapidly changing irradiance conditions significantly impact on the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems. These impacts are particularly severe in tropical regions where the climatic conditions result in very large and rapid changes in irradiance. In this paper, a hybrid maximum power point (MPP) tracking (MPPT) technique for PV systems operating under partially shaded co...

The radiations from 60-day Sb lN have been studied by several investigators. H ales and Jordan [2] used a 1800 spectrometer to study the beta spectrum of Sb124. Tbey report the presence of two components with maximum cnergies at 0.74 ± O.03 and 2.45 ± 0.07 million electron volts (NIev) . ~1iller and Omtiss [3], u ing a thin magnetic len spectrometer , also ob erved a complex beta specLrum, but ...

Poxvirus morphogenesis is a complex process that involves the successive wrapping of the virus in host cell membranes. We screened by plaque assay a focused library of kinase inhibitors for those that caused a reduction in viral growth and identified several compounds that selectively inhibit phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Previous studies demonstrated that PI3Ks mediate poxviral entry. ...

RESUMO O concreto autoadensável (CAA) tem sido produzido por diferentes métodos de dosagem. Alguns são baseados na determinação da pasta e do esqueleto granular para o alcance autoadensabilidade. A busca empacotamento agregados com baixo índice vazios, que leva a uma redução volume pasta, ideal, mas este modelo pode não ser melhor CAA. Sistemas partículas reduzidos vazios teor comprometer autoa...

This work proposes a novel fault diagnostic technique for photovoltaic systems based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). For a given set of working conditions solar irradiance and photovoltaic (PV) module's temperature a number of attributes such as current, voltage, and number of peaks in the current evoltage (IeV) characteristics of the PV strings are calculated using a simulation model. The...

Eimeria tenella is one of the important species as it causes caecal coccidiosis in chickens. Coccidiosis is believed to be controlled effectively using vaccines. The present study investigated the prophylactic efficacy of two locally prepared vaccines against caecal coccidiosis in broiler chicken. Broiler chicks (n = 80) were divided in four different groups A, B, C and D (n = 20 birds/group), ...

Vaccinia virus (VACV) uses microtubules for export of virions to the cell surface and this process requires the viral protein F12. Here we show that F12 has structural similarity to kinesin light chain (KLC), a subunit of the kinesin-1 motor that binds cargo. F12 and KLC share similar size, pI, hydropathy and cargo-binding tetratricopeptide repeats (TPRs). Moreover, molecular modeling of F12 TP...
