PIC method of plasma simulation is widely used in plasma physics research because of its ability to solve wide range of problems in kinetic approach. Regarding to description of PIC method we refer to [Birdsall et al., 1995]. This work is focused on PIC simulations of dc discharge in cylindrical magnetron device. Magnetrons are used in industry e.g. for thin film layer coating and etching. Many...

The p12 protein of the murine leukemia virus (MLV) is a constituent of the pre-integration complex (PIC) but its function in this complex remains unknown. We developed an imaging system to monitor MLV PIC trafficking in live cells. This allowed the visualization of PIC docking to mitotic chromosomes and its release upon exit from mitosis. Docking occurred concomitantly with nuclear envelope bre...

Abstract—Partial interference cancellation (PIC) group decoding proposed by Guo and Xia is an attractive low-complexity alternative to the optimal processing for multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) wireless communications. It can well deal with the tradeoff among rate, diversity and complexity of spacetime block codes (STBC). In this paper, a systematic design of full-diversity STBC with low-c...

We study the improvement technique for multistage parallel interference cancellation (PIC) DS-CDMA multiuser receivers, which cancel only a fraction of the estimated multiple access interference (MAl) at each receiver stage. This technique takes into account the fact that the MAl estimate, especially in the earlier stages, contains substantial error, and a relatively conservative strategy of us...

The Mediator complex has been described as a general transcription factor, but it is unclear if it is essential for Pol II transcription and/or is a required component of the preinitiation complex (PIC) in vivo. Here, we show that depletion of individual subunits, even those essential for cell growth, causes a general but only modest decrease in transcription. In contrast, simultaneous depletio...

The physical processes of charge collection and gas multiplication of a Micro Pixel Chamber (μ-PIC) were studied in detail using a three-dimensional simulation. The collection efficiencies of primary electrons and gas multiplication factors were calculated for several electrode structures. Based on those studies, we analyzed the optimization of the electrode structure of the μ-PIC, in order to ...

We present the first fundamental simulation method for the determination of crater morphology due to femtosecond-pulse laser damage. To this end we have adapted the particle-in-cell (PIC) method commonly used in plasma physics for use in the study of laser damage and developed the first implementation of a pair potential for PIC codes. We find that the PIC method is a complementary approach to ...

We present a simple and scalable graph clustering method called power iteration clustering (PIC). PIC finds a very low-dimensional embedding of a dataset using truncated power iteration on a normalized pair-wise similarity matrix of the data. This embedding turns out to be an effective cluster indicator, consistently outperforming widely used spectral methods such as NCut on real datasets. PIC ...

This paper presents PIC microcontroller based PWM inverter controlled four switch three phase inverter (FSTPI) fed Induction Motor drive. The advantage of this inverter that uses of 4 switches instead of conventional 6 switches is lesser switching losses, lower electromagnetic interference (EMI), less complexity of control algorithms and reduced interface circuits. Simulation and experimental w...
