Worldwide interest in the deployment of photovoltaic generation (PV) is rapidly increasing. Operating experience with large PV plants, however, demonstrates that large, rapid changes in the output of PV plants are possible. Early studies of PV grid impacts suggested that short-term variability could be a potential limiting factor in deploying PV. Many of these early studies, however, lacked hig...

This paper presents the state of the PV market in Greece, the achievements so far, the current situation and proposals for next years. The PV market environment in terms of new PV development policies is presented, such as netmetering. The net-metering long awaited program framework is expected to regenerate the PV market in Greece, It was finally introduced at the end of 2014 and the program p...

I review the new physics sensitivity of low-energy parity-violating (PV) observables. I concentrate on signatures of new tree-level physics in atomic PV with a single isotope, ratios of atomic PV observables, and PV electron scattering. In addition to comparing the new physics sensitivities of these observables with those of high-energy colliders, I also discuss the theoretical issues involved ...

In this paper we present a new system called CDB-PV that uses constraint databases (CDBs) for program verification (PV). The CDB-PV system was implemented in C++ and tested on several sample programs that are difficult to verify using other methods. The CDB-PV system also runs efficiently for the sample programs. The CDB-PV approach is similar to abstract interpretation but it allows non-convex...

Results from an idealized three-dimensional baroclinic life-cycle model are interpreted in a potential vorticity (PV) framework to identify the physical mechanisms by which frictional processes acting in the atmospheric boundary layer modify and reduce the baroclinic development of a midlatitude storm. Considering a life cycle where the only non-conservative process acting is boundary-layer fri...

Plasmodium vivax (Pv) is the second most important human malaria parasite. Recent data indicate that the impact of Pv malaria on the health and economies of the developing world has been dramatically underestimated. Pv has a unique feature in its life cycle. Uninucleate sporozoites (spz), after invasion of human hepatocytes, either proceed to develop into tens of thousands of merozoites within ...

Shading reduces the power output of a photovoltaic (PV) system. The design engineering of PV systems requires modeling and evaluating shading losses. Some PV systems are affected by complex shading scenes whose resulting PV energy losses are very difficult to evaluate with current modeling tools. Several specialized PV design and simulation software include the possibility to evaluate shading l...

Endogenous erythroid colony (EEC) formation is one of the minor criteria for diagnosing polycythemia vera (PV) according to 2008 WHO diagnostic criteria. But EEC requires bone marrow aspiration and sophisticated laboratory procedures; therefore, practically it is rarely used to diagnose PV. Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) was found to be constitutively phosphorylated and was resp...

Immunoprecipitations of cultured keratinocyte extracts have shown that pemphigus vulgaris (PV) sera bind a polypeptide of 210,000 mol wt with disulfide-linked chains of 130,000 and 85,000 mol wt. To identify proteins in normal human skin recognized by PV antibodies, we performed immunoprecipitations of normal human epidermal extracts. All 22 PV sera tested immunoprecipitated a complex of polype...

Plasmalemma vesicle protein-1 (PV-1) is a caveolae-associated protein that is enriched in lung endothelial cells. The PV-1 protein is first detected in the lung at embryonic day 12, before that of caveolin-1 (Cav-1). There is a postnatal rise in PV-1 and Cav-1 mRNA levels, reaching a peak at the time of weaning and declining to their lowest levels in the adult lung. In contrast, the PV-1 protei...
