A hybrid energy storage system (HESS) composed of a battery and super-capacitor (SC) can make full use of advantages in energy and power density, which can further improve the performance of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). Most studies have been limited to configuration and control to reduce the burden and prolong the life cycle of the battery, seldom focusing on the redesign of energy manageme...

Present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of aqueous methanolic extract from Saccharum officinarum on the sporulation and morphology of oocysts of four Eimeria species (Eimeria tenella, E. necatrix, E. mitis, E. brunetti) of poultry. Sporulation inhibition bioassay was used to evaluate the activity of Saccharum officinarum extract (SOE) on the sporulation of coccidian oocysts. In this ...

We have previously constructed recombinants encoding the full-length and truncated forms of cystatin-SN and expressed these in the Escherichia coli expression system pGEX-2T, which expresses foreign sequences as fusion proteins with glutathione S-transferase (GST). Recombinant cystatins were produced and purified in large quantities. The full-length recombinant cystatin-SN exhibited comparable ...

We study spillover e ects of uctuations in US uncertainty. Using monthly panel data from fteen major emerging market economies (EMEs), we show that an unanticipated rise in US stock market uncertainty has negative e ects on their stock prices and exchange rate, increases long-term interest rate spreads, and leads to capital out ows. These negative nancial e ects transmit to the real economy as ...
