With the vast territory and abundant solar energy resources in western part of China, more than 50 percent of photovoltaic power stations and wind farms were built there. In recent years, influenced by such factors as rapid growth in installed capacity of PV power stations and wind farms, power generation districts far away from power consumption load as well as its mismatch in transmission line, the phenomenon of abandoning solar and wind power has already restricted severely the normal operation of photovoltaic and wind power generation. It has greatly reduced the enthusiasm of the investors and constructors for investing and building power stations. This paper, based on the status in quo of power generation market and power supply in China, analyzes multi-aspect reasons for the phenomenon of abandoning solar and wind power and discusses their solutions.展开更多

The most important antigen of HIV1 is the viral envelope glycoprotein, gp160. The mature form of the HIV-1 gp160 is made up of two major regions:the extracellular (gq120) and the transmembrane (gp41) domains. The gp120 binds with high affinity to CD4. he cellular receptor for HIV-1, and antibodies that prevent the CD4-gq120 interaction are able to block HIV-1 infection. A principal neutralizing deter-展开更多
