A Novel Topology to Improve PV Module Efficiency under Partial Shading Conditions by Dominique Bonkoungou, Toussaint Guingane, Eric Korsaga, Sosthène Tassembedo, Zacharie Koalaga, Arouna Darga, François Zougmore

“…We analyze how a modification in the linkage between the PV cells within a shaded PV module can affect its effectiveness. The proposed approach relocates the physical position of the PV cells within the PV module without any change in electrical connections and redistributes the shading effects over the PV module for the improvement of the power generation. …”

Basis for the Age-related Decline in Intestinal Mucosal Immunity by Douglas L. Schmucker, Robert L. Owen, Robert Outenreath, Karine Thoreux

“…Little is known about how the differentiation of immunoglobulin A (IgA) plasma cells in Peyer's patches (PPs) and their subsequent homing to the small intestinal lamina propria (LP) is affected by aging. Quantitative immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated a 2-fold increase in the number of IgA+ cells in the PPs, coupled with significant declines in the numbers of IgA+ and antibody-positive cells in the intestinal LP of senescent rats compared to young adult animals. …”
