Abstract

Although both C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5)- and CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4)-using HIV-1 strains cause AIDS, the emergence of CXCR4-utilizing variants is associated with an accelerated decline in CD4 + T cells. It remains uncertain if CXCR4-using viruses hasten disease or if [...]

Abstract

Acquired resistance to second generation BRAF inhibitors (BRAFis), like vemurafenib is limiting the benefits of long term targeted therapy for patients with malignant melanomas that harbor BRAF V600 mutations. Since many resistance mechanisms have been described, most of them causing [...]

Abstract

A trimaran is a multihull vessel designed to reduce wave-making resistances at high speeds. Optimization of the hull shape increases hull efficiency and speed of a vessel. The behavior of a ship is generally analyzed through numerical methods to save time and reduce high expenditures [...]

Abstract

International audience; This study deals with the dynamic and thermal behaviors of supercapacitors. Characterization is performed using the Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) method to determine by experiment the supercapacitor's series resistance (ESR) and capacitance according [...]

Abstract

International audience; This paper deals with an energy management improvement based on frequency sharing approach for an electric vehicle. In order to satisfy the traction/propulsion system requirement, the Fuel cell (FC) system is assisted by lithium-ion batteries and Supercapacitors [...]

Abstract

International audience; This paper describes an energy management strategy for an electric vehicle (EV). The proposed EV architecture contains a pack of the batteries which presents the energy source and a pack of the supercapacitors (SC) used as power source. The pack of the batteries [...]

Abstract

For lack of the appropriate global distribution of dc currents, the conventional suppression method to suppress dc bias based on capacitive dc blocking device (BD) redirects current to the ground as much as possible, which predisposes to the exceeding neutral current of other transformers [...]
