Design Implications of Model-Generated Urban Data

Published by the Architectural Research Centers Consortium under the terms of the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International license.The staggering complexity of urban environment and long timescales in the causal mechanisms prevent designers to fully understand the implications of their design interventions. In order to investigate these causal mechanisms and provide measurable trends, a model that partially replicates urban complexity has been developed. Using a cellular automata approach to model land use types and markets for products, services, labour and property, the model has enabled numerical experiments to be carried out. The results revealed causal mechanisms and performance metrics obtained in a much shorter timescale than the real-life processes, pointing to a number of design implications for urban environments.Peer reviewedFinal Published versio

A Novel Design and Implementation of New Double Feynman and Six-correction logic (DFSCL) gates in Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA)

In recent years, quantum cellular automata (QCA) have been used widely to digital circuits and systems. QCA technology is a promising alternative to CMOS technology. It is attractive due to its fast speed, small area and low power consumption. The QCA offers a novel electronics paradigm for information processing and communication. It has the potential for attractive features such as faster speed, higher scale integration, higher switching frequency, smaller size and low power consumption than transistor based technology. In this paper, Double Feynman and Six-correction logic gate (DFSCL) is proposed based on QCA logic gates: MV gate and Inverter gate. The proposed circuit is a promising future in constructing of nano-scale low power consumption information processing system and can stimulate higher digital applications in QCA
