  The details of the pseudogap origin and other gap related properties
discussed earlier for cuprates, in the framework of the paired cluster (PC)
model, using three dimensional (3D) electronic density of states (DOS), are
shown to remain valid even when a two dimensional (2D) cuprate electronic DOS
is used. Similarly the stripe phase description is also shown to be similar for
the 3D and 2D cases. These results confirm the PC model's capability in
explaining the high-Tc superconductivity properties.
