Cells cured of persistent virus infection can be used to investigate cellular pathways of resistance to viral cytopathic effects. Persistent poliovirus (PV) infections were established in human intestinal Caco-2 cells, and spontaneously cured cell cultures were obtained. Two cell clones, cl6 and b13, cured of type 3 PV mutant infection and their parental Caco-2 cells were compared for susceptib...

Cyclopentenone prostaglandins (PGs) inhibit the replication of a wide variety of enveloped DNA and RNA viruses. The antiviral activity is associated with alterations in the synthesis, maturation, and intracellular translocation of viral proteins. In the present report, we describe the effects of cyclopentenone PGs PGA1 and delta 12-PGJ2 on poliovirus (PV) replication in HeLa cells. Both PGs wer...

Received Mar 22, 2017 Revised May 13, 2017 Accepted Jun 3, 2017 Energy is the driving force in all the sectors as it acts like an index of standard of living or prosperity of the people of the country. However heavy dependence on fossil fuels leads to global warming, hence there is a need for the use of clean, sustainable, and eco friendly form of energy. Among the various types of non-conventi...

The use of photovoltaic (PV) cells in domestic and industrial applications has grown rapidly through the recent years. Constructing PV plants is a very smart measure to produce free electricity in large scales, especially in the countries with higher solar irradiation potential. On the other hand, compressed air energy storage (CAES) has already been proposed to be employed for energy storage a...

The calcium-binding protein parvalbumin (PV) hallmarks subpopulations of interneurons in the murine brain. We serendipitously observed the de novo expression of PV in ependymal cells of the lateral ventricle wall following in vivo lesioning and brain slicing for the preparation of organotypic hippocampal slice cultures (OHSCs). In OHSCs, de novo PV-expression begins shortly after the onset of c...

Free cooling of PV cells is a common research topic; it lowers the operating temperature cells, resulting in higher electricity production. This article investigated free techniques for wide range thermal properties PCM layer installed on backside cell. Two options were assumed: micro-encapsulated which heat transferred by conduction only, and macro-encapsulated transfer enhanced convection. Th...

Photovoltaic (PV) panels get hot in the sun. This decreases the operating efficiency through various means. Several approaches have been proven effective at cooling panels. Green Roofs are thermally cool, outperforming even white roofs over their life. On a hot summer day, a green roof can be 30◦C cooler than a typical roof, potentially improving the efficiency of a photovoltaic (PV) panel by a...

The medial prefrontal cortex is involved in working memory and executive control. However, the collective spatiotemporal organization of the cellular network has not been possible to explain during different brain states. We show that pyramidal cells in the prelimbic cortex fire synchronized to hippocampal theta and local spindle oscillations in anesthetized rats. To identify which types of int...

The target of the current study was to review and analyze research activities previous studies on cooling techniques for thermal photovoltaic (PV) systems using phase-change materials. These materials have ability absorb release certain amounts potential heat energy by changing their state from phase (solid–liquid) within a small temperature range. been used regulate lower temperature, increase...

Replication of poliovirus (PV) is restricted to a few sites, including the brain and spinal cord. However, this neurotropism is not conserved in cultured cells. Monkey kidney cells become susceptible to PV infection after cultivation in vitro, and cell lines of monolayer cultures from almost any tissue of primates are susceptible to PV infection. These observations suggest that cellular changes...
