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...

The centrosome serves as the primary micro-tubule-organizing center in animal cells and, consequently, functions in many processes, such as migration and formation of the mitotic spindles. The centrosome consists of a pair of centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material (PCM), the platform for microtubule nucle-ation. The pair of centrioles duplicate once per cell cycle to ensure the equal ...

Pancreatic carcinoma occasionally associated with prominent mucin production and this type of tumor designated as PCM (pancreatic carcinoma with prominent mucin production) was diagnosed depends on subjective estimation of the amount of mucous area, and there has been no report on a quantitative evaluation of the amount of mucinous area in the tumor. To examine the feature of PCM, we analyzed 9...

Phase change memory (PCM) has emerged as a promising candidate for next-generation memories, owing to its low power consumption, non-volatility, and high storage-density. However, PCM has limited write endurance, i.e., it can only undergo a limited number of write operations, leading to a short lifecycle. Thus, it is an important issue to find out an efficient way to use PCM in memory hierarchy...

Spatial alignment is an essential step before any further processing (such as fusion and change detection) of multiframe images can be done. We present a new algorithm that aligns translated and rotated pair of 3D images by means of phase correlation method (PCM). PCM is a computationally efficient method for translation estimation. We generalize a known polar-mapping approach of 2D image regis...

PCM test structures are commonly used to check the produced wafers from the standpoint of the technologist. In general these structures are managed inside the FAB and are focused on standard device properties. Hence their development and analysis is not driven by analog circuit blocks, which are sensitive or often used. Especially for DFM/Y of analog circuits the correlation between design and ...

The Possibilistic C-Means clustering algorithm, in its original form, is not very suitable for clustering due to the undesirable tendency to create coincident clusters and to converge to a “worthless” partitions in the case of poor initializations, but it provides robustness to noise and intuitive interpretation of the membership values. Recently, an extension of the PCM has been presented by T...
