29 Jul 2010TL;DR: In this paper, the switching capacitor method is used for cell equalization during bidirectional operations and it relies on a State Of Charge (SOC) estimator in order to select the target cell for charge distribution.
Abstract: Differences in chemical characteristics, operating temperature or different internal resistance can cause differences in cell remaining capacity, leading to overcharging or overdischarging of respectively most charged and most discharged cells, decreasing the total stack storage capacity, shortening the battery lifetime and, eventually, permanently damaging the cells. The system proposed in this paper uses the switching capacitor method for cell equalization during bidirectional operations and it relies on a State Of Charge (SOC) estimator in order to select the target cell for charge distribution. The SOC estimator, based on an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) [14], polls cells sequentially and updates simple coulomb-counting SOC estimators. The polling limits the speed of equalization but it reduces the computational load of multiple EKF for every cell in the stack.

TL;DR: Cold acclimation/exposure and altered nutritional status are physiological conditions in which a modulation of energy expenditure is particularly important, and TH seem to be deeply involved in this modulation, and some aspects of their possible influence in these conditions are reviewed.
Abstract: Thyroid hormones (TH) are major modulators of energy metabolism and thermogenesis. It is generally believed that 3,5,3'-triiodo-l-thyronine (T3) is the only active form of TH, and that most of its effects are mediated by nuclear T3 receptors, which chiefly affect the transcription of target genes. Some of these genes encode for the proteins involved in energy metabolism. However, a growing volume of evidence now indicates that other iodothyronines may be biologically active. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the calorigenic effect of TH, but none has received universal acceptance. Cold acclimation/exposure and altered nutritional status are physiological conditions in which a modulation of energy expenditure is particularly important. TH seem to be deeply involved in this modulation, and this article will review some aspects of their possible influence in these conditions.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that in Octopus vulgaris the ER has biochemical and immunohistochemical characteristics resembling those of ER in vertebrates.
Abstract: In this study, for the first time we have identified an estradiol-17beta receptor (ER) in the reproductive system of the female of Octopus vulgaris. Scatchard analysis revealed that one binding component with high affinity and low capacity for the ligand was present in the cytosol, but not in the nuclear extract of the ovary and the oviduct. A steroid specificity competition assay showed that 3H-estradiol-17beta binding activity showed a preference for estradiol-17beta. DNA-cellulose chromatography confirmed the presence of one 3H-estradiol-17beta binding component. By using antibodies anti ER (578-595), we have localized by Western blotting one band of about 70 kDa. ER immunoreactivity has been localized in the nuclei of the follicle cells of the ovary, in the nuclei of the epithelium lining the proximal portion of the oviduct and in the nuclei, and in the cytoplasm of the inner region of the oviducal gland and in the cytoplasm of the outer region of the oviducal gland. These data, taken together, provide evidence that in Octopus vulgaris the ER has biochemical and immunohistochemical characteristics resembling those of ER in vertebrates.
