Since the behavior of photovoltaic (PV) modules under different operational conditions is highly nonlinear, predicting the performance of PV systems in industrial applications is becoming a major challenge issue. Moreover, the most important information required to configure an optimal PV system is unavailable in all manufacturer's datasheets. In this context, a novel method is recommended to optimize PV cells/module parameters with the ability to correctly characterize the I-V and P-V curves of different PV models.

Introduction: Autodialysis is the dialysis performed by the patient himself at a local center instead of a hemodialysis center. In Morocco, the practice of hemodialysis dates back to 1970; however, an autodialysis center does not yet exist. The objective was to assess the potential medical fitness and adherence of the patients to an autodialysis program.

Article Synopsis
  • Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is prevalent in hemodialysis patients, with 16.22% of the studied group showing elevated pressures.
  • The study included 111 patients, finding that the average pulmonary artery pressure was 45 mm Hg, with a small percentage classified as having mild to severe PAH.
  • Key risk factors linked to PAH were longer hemodialysis duration and specific heart conditions like valvular calcification and regurgitation.
