Hybridizing a lead–acid battery energy storage system (ESS) with supercapacitors is promising solution to cope the increased degradation in standalone microgrids that suffer from irregular electricity profiles. There are many studies literature on such hybrid systems (HESS), usually examining various hybridization aspects separately. This paper provides holistic look at design of an HESS. A new...

Fitness functions derived for certain white-box test goals can cause problems for Evolutionary Testing (ET), due to a lack of sufficient guidance to the required test data. Often this is because the search does not take into account data dependencies within the program, and the fact that some special intermediate statement (or statements) needs to have been executed in order for the target stru...

A rabbit monospecific antibody for mouse beta-spectrin was used to screen a mouse anemic spleen cDNA expression library. A mouse beta-spectrin cDNA clone was isolated and identified by its ability to make mouse beta-spectrin-like antigens in Escherichia coli. This clone was used to probe total RNA from various mouse tissues. Anemic spleen RNA showed two strongly hybridizing RNA species of appro...

Screening of a genomic library of Cowdria ruminantium has yielded twelve clones hybridizing to Cowdria DNA. These clones should be suitable for development into DNA probes specific for this organism.

A series of survivor cell lines derived by infection of B103 rat neuroma cells with active wild-type herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) (M. Levine, A. L. Goldin, and J. C. Glorioso, J. Virol. 35, 203-210 (1980)) has been isolated. The survivor cells produced no infectious virus, yet they continued to react with HSV-1 antiserum for over 100 cell generations following the initial infection. The ...
