Previous research on dual-tasks has shown that, under some circumstances, actions impair the perception of action-consistent stimuli, whereas, under other conditions, actions facilitate the perception of actionconsistent stimuli. We propose a new model to reconcile these contrasting findings. The planning and control model (PCM) of motorvisual priming proposes that action planning binds categor...

Phase change materials (PCM) in the construction industry became attractive because of several interesting attributes, such as thermo-physical parameters, open air atmospheric condition usage, cost and the duty structure requirement. Thermal performance optimization of PCMs in terms of proficient storage of a large amount of heat or cold in a finite volume remains a challenging task. Implementa...

This paper presents a miniature Linear Series Elastic Actuator (LSEA), in which two low-cost linear potentiometers were adopted to achieve compact design. To improve the measurement accuracy of potentiometer, novel Bezier-based Calibration Method (BCM) and its optimization method proposed calibrate inherent nonlinearity potentiometer. efficiency BCM was investigated numerically by making compar...

In order to reduce the heat transfer between indoor and outdoor environments influence of ambient temperature fluctuation on environment, adding micro-PCM building envelope is one effective means. Micro-PCM can ?intelligently? control by absorbing or releasing during phase change maintain stability. this paper, temperature-adjustable mortar was prepared using with a 25?C, painted surface cement...

Proteochemometric modeling (PCM) is a computational approach that can be considered an extension of quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling, where a single model incorporates information for a family of targets and all the associated ligands instead of modeling activity versus one target. This is especially useful for situations where bioactivity data exists for similar pro...

An overview of current debates and contemporary research devoted to the modeling of decision making processes and their facilitation directs attention to the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). At the core of the AHP are various prioritization procedures (PPs) and consistency measures (CMs) for a Pairwise Comparison Matrix (PCM) which, in a sense, reflects preferences of decision makers. Certainl...

Many researchers have investigated how to increase the overall efficiency of solar-driven thermal systems. Several key parameters, such as collector efficiency and storage tank characteristics, may impose some constraints on the annual solar fraction (ASF) of such systems. In this paper, the behaviour of integrating the phase change material (PCM) in SDHW systems is modelled and optimized n...
