Recently, Phase Change Materials (PCM) have become more prevalent in improving buildings’ thermal management. The relative location of the PCM layer is a valuable measure for assessing performance building envelopes, addition to meteorological circumstances and qualities. optimum air layers between roof may significantly reduce energy consumption buildings. In this regard, influence gap thickne...

Phase Change Memory (PCM) has better scalability and smaller cell size comparing to DRAM. However, further scaling PCM cell in deep sub-micron regime results in significant thermal based write disturbance. Naively allocating large inter-cell space increases cell size from ideal 4F 2 to 12F 2. While a recent work mitigates write disturbance along word-lines through disturbance resilient data enc...

Phase change memory (PCM) is a byte-addressable type of non-volatile memory. Compared to other volatile and non-volatile memories, PCM is two to four times denser than dynamic random access memory (DRAM). It has better read latency than NAND flash memory. Even though the write endurance of PCM is 10 times better than NAND flash memory, it is still limited to times per PCM cell. When researchers...

Centrosomes are major microtubule organising centres comprising a pair of centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). The PCM expands dramatically as cells enter mitosis, and we previously showed that two key PCM components, Centrosomin (Cnn) and Spd-2, cooperate to form a scaffold structure around the centrioles that recruits the mitotic PCM in Drosophila; the SPD-5 and SPD-2 prote...

The aim of this study was to explore the incidence and risk factors for posterior cage migration (PCM) following decompression and instrumented fusion for degenerative lumbar disorders, and hope to provide references in decision making and surgical planning for spine surgeons.By retrieving the medical records from January 2011 to December 2015, 286 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Accord...

The pureCMusic (pCM++) framework gives the possibility to write a piece of music in terms of an algorithmic-composition-based program -also controlled by data streaming from external devices for giving expressiveness in electro-acoustic music performancesand of synthesis algorithms. Everything is written following the C language syntax and compiled into machine code that runs at CPU speed. The ...

Figure 1. SPD-5 incorporates throughout the volume of the PCM. (A) Schematic of assay to determine spatial dynamics of PCM assembly. Centrosomal GFP signal is bleached during centrosome maturation. Three possible outcomes for the pattern of new protein incorporation are shown. (B) Representative images of GFP::SPD-5 before and after bleaching/maturation. Post-bleach images scaled equivalently. ...

We report a fast single element nonvolatile memory that employs amorphous to crystalline phase change. Temperature change is induced within a single electronic element in confined geometry transistors to cause the phase change. This novel phase change memory (PCM) operates without the need for charge transport through insulator films for charge storage in a floating gate. GeSbTe (GST) was emplo...

Defect signal is always a problem that interferes with the operation of fibre board gluing control system. Complex problem analysis and solving are an important evolutionary direction of TRIZ. This research creates a defect diagnosis methodology by synthesizing the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) and a Possibilistic C-Means (PCM) improved Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) method...
