Centrosomes are major microtubule-organizing centers composed of centrioles surrounded by an extensive proteinacious layer called the pericentriolar material (PCM). In C. elegans embryos, the mitotic PCM expands by Polo-kinase (PLK-1) phosphorylation-accelerated assembly of SPD-5 molecules into supramolecular scaffolds. However, how PLK-1 phosphorylation regulates SPD-5 assembly is not known. W...

Latent Heat Thermal Storage (LHTS) based on Phase Change materials (PCMs) offers a promising solution for efficient utilization of intermittent energy from renewable sources. The primary limitation is the poor thermal conductivity PCMs, which requires employing performance enhancement techniques. To enhance PCM storage, copper foam with high porosity embedded PCM. A numerical simulation model h...

The low thermal conductivity of phase-change materials (PCMs) hampers the commercialization PCM cooling battery management systems. Further reduction resistance between and batteries is still a challenging problem. In this study, / pin fin design proposed. ANSYS Fluent was used to construct model design. SIMPLE algorithm second-order upwind scheme were solve momentum energy equations. Compared ...

A composite container for an electric vehicle (EV) battery module filled with a phase-change material (PCM) was experimentally tested at various discharge rates. The average cell temperatures 1 C, 2 and 4 C rates, respectively, might reach 38 °C, 50 70 °C in the absence of any heat-absorbing material. temperature noticeably lower PCM present than conventional module. For instance, none cells in...

A previous analytical investigation of the generalized Born (GB) implicit solvation model is extended to solvents of nonzero ionic strength. The GB model with salt effects (GB-SE) is shown to resemble the Debye-Hückel-like screening model (DESMO), a polarizable continuum model (PCM) that we have recently developed for salty solutions. DESMO may be regarded either as a generalization of the cond...

Classification and interpretation of satellite images are complex processes and that may be affected by various factors. Most fuzzy based soft classification techniques have been used to provide a more appropriate and accurate area estimation when fine, medium and coarse spatial resolution data are being used. Spatial resolution determines the spatial details on the Earth surface and greatly re...

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), was first isolated from armadillos from the Amazonian region where the mycosis is uncommon. In the present study, we report on the high incidence of PCM infection in armadillos from a hyperendemic region of the disease. Four nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) were captured in the endemic area of Botuc...

The analysis and processing of large data are a challenge for researchers. Several approaches have been used to model these complex data, and they are based on some mathematical theories: fuzzy, probabilistic, possibilistic, and evidence theories. In this work, we propose a new unsupervised classification approach that combines the fuzzy and possibilistic theories; our purpose is to overcome th...

The high operating temperature of the photovoltaic (PV) modules decreases significantly its efficiency. integration phase change material (PCM) is one feasible techniques for reducing PV module. A numerical simulation module with PCM and without has been realized. thermal behavior was evaluated at melting solidification processes PCM. results show that RT35HC a thickness 4 cm reduces by 8 °C co...

The application range of existing real scale mobile thermal storage units with phase change materials (PCM) is restricted by the low phase change temperature of 58 ∘ C for sodium acetate trihydrate, which is a commonly used storage material. Therefore, only low temperature heat sinks like swimming pools or greenhouses can be supplied. With increasing phase change temperatures, more applications...
