Abstract This paper develops a novel design methodology for the off-grid PV system by applying demand- side management (DSM) approach. DSM strategy is used optimal distribution of electrical energy among load. Various types load are being categorized based on priority. In case power shortage, top-priority will get more reliable supply. Moreover, shortage distributed loads. A programming model h...

(P>0.05). Fecal samples were collected from 40 animals (20 with DSM and 20 without DSM) at wk 10 (d 0 on diets), 14, 18, and 22, and were analyzed for Lactobacillus sp. (LAB), Enterobacteraceae (EB), coliforms (CF), generic Escherichia coli (EC), and Salmonella sp. At week 10, fecal bacterial counts (log10 CFU/g feces) were 9.55, 7.26, 7.01, and 6.93 for LAB, EB, CF, and EC populations, respect...

A novel psychrophilic bacterium, designated strain DVS 3Y(T), was isolated from a moraine sample from the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics and data from a phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain DVS 3Y(T) was related to the genus Exiguobacterium. Strain DVS 3Y(T) exhibited >97 % gene sequence similarity with resp...

Multi-temporal Landsat-8 satellite images with fine spatial resolution (i.e., 30 m) are crucial for modern digital soil mapping (DSM). Generally, cloud-free covering bare topsoil common choices DSM. However, the number of effective data is greatly limited due to cloud contamination coupled coarse temporal resolution, and interference material in most months, hindering development accurate To ad...

Prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) defined according to the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual fifth edition (DSM-5; 2013) and fourth edition (DSM-IV; 1994) was compared in a national sample of U.S. adults (N = 2,953) recruited from an online panel. Exposure to traumatic events, PTSD symptoms, and functional impairment were assessed online using...

During the course of studies on halophilic, Gram-negative bacteria, a comparison of two strains of halophilic bacteria, Pseudomonas halophila DSM 3050 and Halomonas variabilis DSM 3051 (formerly Halovibrio variabilis) demonstrated that the characteristics of strain DSM 3050 corresponded to the original description of Halovibrio variabilis and those of DSM 3051 to P. halophila, both of which had...

There has been a substantial body of literature devoted to answering one question: Which latent model of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) best represents PTSD's underlying dimensionality? This research summary will, therefore, focus on the literature pertaining to PTSD's latent structure as represented in the fourth (DSM-IV, 1994) to the fifth (DSM-5, 2013) edition of the DSM. This article ...

OBJECTIVE To examine the consequences and validity of changes in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-5 diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia, eg, omission of subtypes, using a large dataset of double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled schizophrenia trials. METHODS Data from 22 short-term efficacy registration trials of second generation antipsychotics for the treatm...

BACKGROUND Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) has undergone a series of substantial classificatory changes since its first inclusion in DSM-III. The majority of these revisions have been in response to its poor inter-rater reliability and concerns that it may lack diagnostic validity. This article provides options for the revision of the DSM-IV GAD criteria for DSM-V. METHOD First, searches w...
