The paper introduces a new class of numerical schemes for the approximate solutions of stochastic pantograph equations. As an effective technique to implement implicit stochastic methods, strong predictor-corrector methods (PCMs) are designed to handle scenario simulation of solutions of stochastic pantograph equations. It is proved that the PCMs are strong convergent with order 1 2 . Linear MS...

This report presents a new and simple methodology for the synthesis of multicomponent peptide vaccines, named the peptide crosslinked micelles (PCMs). The PCMs are core shell micelles designed to deliver peptide antigens and immunostimulatory DNA to antigen-presenting cells (APCs). They are composed of immunostimulatory DNA, peptide antigen, and a thiopyridal derived poly(ethylene glycol)-polyl...

The use of a latent heat storage system using phase change materials (PCMs) is an effective way of storing thermal energy and has the advantages of high-energy storage density and the isothermal nature of the storage process. PCMs have been widely used in latent heat thermalstorage systems for heat pumps, solar engineering, and spacecraft thermal control applications. The uses of PCMs for heati...

In this paper, an analytical tool has been developed to find the important attributes whic...

In this paper, we propose a session based bit level symmetric key cryptographic technique and it is termed as Spiral Matrix Based Bit Orientation Technique (SMBBOT). SMBBOT consider the input plain text as binary bit stream. During encryption this stream is chopped into manageable sized blocks with variable lengths. Bits of these blocks are taken from MSB to LSB to fit into a square matrix of s...

Variational Bayesian matrix factorization (VBMF) efficiently approximates the posterior distribution of factorized matrices by assuming matrix-wise independence of the two factors. A recent study on fully-observed VBMF showed that, under a stronger assumption that the two factorized matrices are column-wise independent, the global optimal solution can be analytically computed. However, it was n...

Alternate energy technologies are developing rapidly in the recent years. A significant part of this trend is the development of different phase change materials (PCMs). Proper utilization of PCMs requires accurate thermal characterization. There are several methodologies used in this field. This paper stresses the importance of accurate temperature measurements during the implementation of T-h...

Polarizable continuum models (PCMs) are a widely used family of implicit solvent models based on reaction-field theory and boundary-element discretization of the solute/continuum interface. An often overlooked aspect of these theories is that discretization of the interface typically does not afford a continuous potential energy surface for the solute. In addition, we show that discretization c...

Thermal energy storage with phase change materials (PCMs) offers a high thermal storage density with a moderate temperature variation, and has attracted growing attention due to its important role in achieving energy conservation in buildings with thermal comfort. Various methods have been investigated by previous researchers to incorporate PCMs into the building structures, and it has been fou...
