Increasing global temperature is alarming the need for construction industry to have thermally efficient building materials. Incorporating Phase Change Materials (PCM) in buildings widely accepted method reduction temperature, thereby achieving better thermal efficiency. This paper focuses on assessment of performance PCM-incorporated under tropical climatic condition. The simulation process wa...

The protein PCM-1 localizes to cytoplasmic granules known as "centriolar satellites" that are partly enriched around the centrosome. We inhibited PCM-1 function using a variety of approaches: microinjection of antibodies into cultured cells, overexpression of a PCM-1 deletion mutant, and specific depletion of PCM-1 by siRNA. All approaches led to reduced targeting of centrin, pericentrin, and n...

Centrosomes have many important functions and comprise a 'mother' and 'daughter' centriole surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM). The mother centriole recruits and organises the PCM and templates the formation of the daughter centriole. It has been reported that several important Drosophila PCM-organising proteins are recruited to centrioles from the cytosol as part of large cytoplasmic '...

The electron transport through ultra-scaled amorphous phase change material (PCM) GeTe is investigated by using ab initio molecular dynamics, density functional theory, and non-equilibrium Green’s function, and the inelastic electron–phonon scattering is accounted for by using the Born approximation. It is shown that, in ultra-scaled PCM device with 6 nm channel length, <4 % of the energy carri...

Paracoccidioidomycosis, PCM, the major systemic mycosis in Latin America, is caused by the termally dimorphic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and requires extended periods of chemotherapy with a significant frequency of relapsing disease. The search for new alternatives of treatment is necessary. rPb27 is an antigenic protein from P. brasiliensis that already showed a significant protectiv...

Abstract The evacuated-tube collector (ETC) for solar heat production is one of the most efficient systems to convert Sun energy into usable energy. Unfortunately, some technological barriers are still present in solar-thermal that limit use these technologies decarbonize processes. An important obstacle requirement at stable temperatures, which not always achievable by fields, e.g. variable sk...

Latent heat stored in phase change materials (PCM) can greatly improve energy efficiency indoor heating/cooling applications. This study presents the and methods for formation characterization of a PCM layer latent thermal storage (LHTES) application. Four commercially available PCMs comprising classes organic paraffins non-paraffins were selected Pure water emulsions experimentally investigate...

In this work, a commercial paraffin PCM (RT35) characterized by change range of the solid-liquid phase transition temperature Ts−l=29–36 °C and low thermal conductivity λSL=0.2 W/m K is experimentally tested submitting it to charging/discharging cycles. The contained in case with rectangular base heated from top due electrical resistance. aim research show benefits that 95% porous copper metal ...

Background: Acetaminophen (Paracetamol; PCM), commonly utilized as analgesic and antipyretic drug in many painful and febrile disorders, has been found to induce liver and renal disorders in both animals and humans. Its administration in a high dose causes hepatic and renal toxicities and results in hepato-renal cell deaths by activating multiple stress pathways. Objective: This study aimed to ...
