The solvated supermolecular approach, i.e., block-localized wave function coupled with polarizable continuum model (BLW/PCM), was proposed to calculate molecular ionization potential (IP), electron affinity (EA) in the solid phase, and related electronic polarization. Via the calculations of a solvated supermolecule (5M), including four closest molecules, BLW/PCM overcomes the limitation in the...

passive solar systems such as solar chimneys need solar radiation in order to work. therefore, they cannot present stable natural ventilation when solar energy vanishes: to have a more robust and stable condition, solar energy should be stored during the day and released back during the night. phase change materials can save additional thermal energy during the day and release it during the nig...

the study addresses performance control matrix (pcm) to determine service quality items of priority for improvement. most businesses focus on customer satisfaction when undertaking surveys of satisfaction and dissatisfaction, while generally neglecting employee satisfaction. therefore, this study develops an integrated model to improve service quality in taiwanese finance industry employees. a ...

Dear Editor CML and plasma cell myeloma (PCM) arise from pluripotent stem cells and lymphoid cells, respectively [1]. Since different cell lines give rise to CML and PCM, development of both malignancies in one patient is uncommon; only 17 such cases have been reported worldwide [2-5]. Here, we attempt to address questions about the mechanisms of co-existence of these two diseases. A 76-yr-old ...

Paracetamol (PCM) has two well-documented polymorphic forms at room temperature; monoclinic Form I is more stable than the other orthorhombic Form II. Form II exhibits improved tabletting properties compared to Form I due to low shearing forces; however, difficulties in its manufacture have limited its use in industrial manufacture. Previous studies have found that the introduction of a co-form...

The application of phase change material (PCM) for energy conservation purposes in the residential buildings was investigated in the present study. Two types of building in terms of materials as the lightweight building (LWB) and heavyweight building (HWB) located in a high cooling load demanding region of Iran were considered for the study. Different types of PCM from organic and inorganic cat...

OBJECTIVE Pericytes, located in close proximity to the underlying endothelium, form an integral component of the microvasculature. These cells are intimately involved in angiogenesis, which is of fundamental importance in many physiological and pathological processes. We evaluated the influence of pericyte-conditioned medium (PCM) on endothelial cell growth characteristics and modulation of end...

This article surveys the current state of phase-change memory (PCM) as a nonvolatile memory technology set to replace flash and DRAM in modern computerized systems. It has been researched and developed in the last decade, with researchers providing better architectural designs which address the technology’s main challenges—its limited write endurance, potential long latency, high energy writes,...

IJPRES ABSTRACT─ PCM is rapidly developed as a promising candidate for next-generation storage class memory (SCM) because of its non-volatility, byte-addressability, and high access performance. In recent years, researchers have studied how to use PCM as main memory or hybrid main memory to improve the system performance and energy efficiency. Although some studies have explored the read/write ...
