Adjunctive Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Refractory Adult‐Onset Still's Disease Complicated by Secondary Macrophage Activation Syndrome: A Single‐Center Experience

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) carries substantial mortality. The role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with AOSD‐MAS treated with TPE at a single‐center.

Module Integrated PV Balancer for PV Applications

International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering, 2019
This paper presents the possibility of Module Integrated Converters (MIC) called PV balancers for photovoltaic applications. The proposed thought enables self-governing Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for each board, and radically decreases the requirements for power converters. The power rating of a PV balancer is under 20% of its accomplices, and

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).

Aging tests of mini-modules with copper-plated heterojunction solar cells and pattern-transfer-printing of copper paste

EPJ Photovoltaics
: Mini-module aging tests with differently interconnected heterojunction solar cells having industrially viable copper metallization are presented. The plating process comprises 3 steps: firstly, screen printing of a seed-grid layout using a copper-based

An Efficient Algorithm for Power Prediction in PV Generation System

International Journal of Renewable Energy Development, 2020
Aiming at the existing photovoltaic power generation prediction methods, the modeling is complicated, the prediction accuracy is low, and it is difficult to meet the actual needs. Based on the improvement of the traditional wavelet neural network, a dual-

Design of fibre reinforced PV concepts for building integrated applications [PDF]

, 2009
Fibre reinforced polymers present an interesting encapsulation medium for PV-modules. Glass fibres can provide increased strength and stiffness to thin polymer layers overcoming the brittleness and limited deformability of glass-panes.
