Energy-Efficient circuits with improved diode free adiabatic logic design methodology

This paper demonstrates a detailed analysis of an unique improved diode-free adiabatic logic (IDFAL) circuit. The IDFAL is operated based on adiabatic switching principle. To indicate the circuit effectiveness, numerous analyses are carried out on different complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology nodes. Logic circuits, viz., NOT and NAND are analyzed and simulated using the traditional CMOS design style and some popular adiabatic logic design techniques: two-phase clocked adiabatic static CMOS logic (2PASCL), diode free adiabatic logic (DFAL), adiabatic dynamic CMOS logic (ADCL), two-phase adiabatic dynamic CMOS logic (2PADCL), quasi-static energy recovery logic (QSERL), and clocked CMOS adiabatic logic (CCAL). The results are compared with the proposed design (IDFAL) at various operating frequencies. The results revealed that the IDFAL inverter circuit has the least power delay product (PDP) among the reported adiabatic design methodologies and saves 91.59 % over the counter-part CMOS inverter at 16 nm high-performance predictive technologies (HP_PTM).

Research on the promotion of new energy vehicles based on multi-source heterogeneous data: consumer and manufacturer perspectives.

Under the background of green development, new energy vehicles, as an important strategic emerging industry, play a crucial role in energy conservation and emission reduction. In the post-epidemic era, steadily promoting the promotion of new energy vehicles will be a hot topic. Based on multi-source heterogeneous data, combined with the latent Dirichlet allocation topic model, social network analysis, and econometric methods, this paper explores whether individual purchase decisions and company-level cooperative research and development will promote the promotion of new energy vehicles. The results show thatwhether it isbattery electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehiclesor plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, users are more concerned about space dimension, power performance, and design style. Patent collaboration network analysis indicates that new energy vehicle enterprises are establishing close partnerships, which will urge the promotion of new energy vehicles. An interesting test result found that for short-term innovation, new energy vehicles enterprises should invest more patent research and development in battery electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles models to better accelerate the promotion of new energy vehicles.

Field Cognitive Styles on Visual Cognition in the Event Structure Design of Bivariate Interactive Dorling Cartogram—The Similarities and Differences of Field-Independent and Field-Dependent Users

As a simple, discontinuous, surface deformation statistical map, Dorling cartograms are effective means with which to characterize the geographic distribution of event data attributes. According to existing research, behavioral differences exist in the visual cognition of individuals with different cognitive field styles in the spatial task of switching layers in a two-dimensional electronic map. However, there are few studies that compare the visual cognitive ability of individuals with different cognitive field styles in the cross-layer structure design of Dorling cartogram event information. This paper uses the visual behavior measurement method to analyze the similarities and differences in the visual cognitive ability of two types of individuals, namely, field-independent and field-dependent individuals, in the cross-layer event structure design of Dorling cartograms. We recruited 40 subjects to perform visualization tasks on Dorling cartograms designed with two event structures, and we recorded the visual cognition data for the two types of subjects in both tasks. The results show that the subjects with the field-independent style perform better in the cognition of the Dorling cartogram event structure than the subjects with the field-dependent style, and the “S-T” event structure design is generally more user-friendly than the “T-S” event structure design. Our findings help to provide some references for the event structure design of human-centered Dorling cartograms.

On the Avant-Garde IDeS Method for the Future of Car Design Applied to an SUV Project

This case study aims to develop a new innovative SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) model exploiting IDeS (Industrial Design Structure), which is an engineering approach conceived to optimize car design projects in the automotive industry like never before. A compact SUV was chosen because it is a type of vehicle that is highly requested by customers, and it is extremely successful in the market due to its versatility. In fact, compact SUVs are mixed vehicles that combine the pragmatism of a car with the typical robustness of an off-road vehicle making them suitable both for urban and off-road scenarios. The following pages will illustrate the steps followed for the realization of the final product using the SDE (Stylistic Design Engineering) method and other various design technologies, such as Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Benchmarking (BM) and Top Flop Analysis (TPA). In the final part of this project, the virtual prototyping of the product is carried out using Additive Manufacturing (AM) with an FDM 3D printer. The combination of these methods forms, to all intents and purposes, the IDeS, a newly developed innovative and cutting-edge discipline capable of schematically guiding the new product development process in companies with unprecedented efficiency.

Penerapan Elemen Menara Pada Bangunan Bergaya Art Deco Di Medan

The characteristics of a building style and its character are shaped by some of its architectural elements. One of these architectural styles is an Art Deco-style building that has its own character. This style first appeared in 1925 and developed until 1940. This European architectural style was adopted in various American buildings due to their condition in the time of the industrial revolution. The modern architectural movement that developed at that time also influenced the art deco style and gave it a modern touch. The Art Deco style in graphic design restores again decorativism but not necessarily in the form of ornaments. Decorative impressions can be achieved through the play of elements geometric, typographic blocks, textures and shades of color. Art Deco style has characteristics that are very distinctive and easily distinguished from other architectural styles. Art deco still exists in the spirit of medan city development as place of research evidenced by the many old buildings that are repurposed as well as new buildings that take the characteristics of Art Deco. One of them is the use of tower elements or one part of the building that rises slightly upwards and gives a magnificent impression.

Cognitive Phenomena of Style and Creativity

This paper explains a cognitive notion of style and creativity approached from reviewing the general concepts of design thinking and cognition, exploring patterns of cognitive operations conducted in the design processes, elaborating how style and creativity are coming from executing these cognitive operations. In fact, style and creativity are the resulting phenomena, or byproducts, coming from design cognition. Thus, based on the concept of resulting phenomena from cognition as the premise, this paper itemized the theories of “changing or modifying our ways of executing our design cognition, our style and creativity would be improved.” Especially, style and creativity, as defined by features appearing in design products, should be treated as physical entities that they could be identified, recognized, and measured instead of abstract notions of intangible elements. Finally, the correlations between style and creativity are summarized to conclude the impact of design cognition. Hopefully, this paper will provide an outline for the ways to improve our style and creativity in design.

Numerical Investigations of Wind Loads on Spherical Structures with Various Types of Configurations

Spherical structures with various design styles are encountered in engineering. Most studies have only examined the wind loads on hemispheres or smaller, which leads to a lack of wind-resistant design rules that cover all the styles of a spherical structure. In this study, a validated CFD model was used to systematically examine the wind loads on spherical structures with different apex-height-to-diameter ratios (ARs). The structure types ranged from different truncated spheres to whole spheres located at different distances above the ground. The results indicated that the largest positive mean pressure coefficient (Cp) at the windward surface gradually increased with AR. The structures were subjected to a strong suction effect at the crown of the sphere as well as its two sides and bottom. A polynomial approximation function for area-averaged Cp over the top area was derived to quickly determine the largest suction effect for all types of spherical structures. The drag and lift coefficients increased rapidly with AR and achieved their largest value when the structure was close to a whole sphere, while their changes were small for a whole sphere located far from the ground. Design suggestions were provided based on the results.

Analysis of pairings of colors and materials of furnishings in interior design with a data-driven framework

Abstract Color–material furnishing pairing is known as a “black-box” for interior designers. The overall atmosphere of a space can be changed by modifying furnishing combinations, e.g., to express modern or classic styles. Designers carefully choose pairings of colors and materials that fit their intended interior design styles based on experience and knowledge. However, no specific principles or rules have yet been established. Therefore, this study aims to derive a furnishing pairing principle based on a novel framework comprising object detection, color extraction, material recognition, and network analysis. We used the proposed framework to analyze large-scale interior design image data (N = 24194) collected from an online interior design platform. We also used the authenticity algorithm to analyze the relative influence of styles. By using the data-driven method from large-scale data in each of the eight interior styles, we derived authentic color, material, and furnishing combinations. Our study results revealed that images with high authenticity values in each style matched existing style descriptions. Additionally, the proposed framework allows interior style image retrieval based on a specific color, material, and furnishing combination. Our findings have implications for research on the development of style-aware furniture retrieval systems and automatic interior design generation methods.

The Visual Perception of Residential Buildings: Le Corbusier’s Modernism and Zaha Hadid’s Parametric Architecture

Abstract: This research paper studies visual perception by focusing on the material functionality of residential buildings in the different architectural style periods, which are the modernism and parametric styles periods. Two pioneer architects of these architectural style periods were selected to study and focus study on their works, Le Corbusier, a pioneer architect of the modernism architectural style period, and Zaha Hadid, a pioneer architect of the Parametric architectural style period. This research uses a mixed-methods approach including quantitative and qualitative approaches, represented by a survey directed at architects to study and analyze the visual perception of the selected architects’ building designs. Besides, this research studies the material functionality of each selected case study. The results showed that the residential buildings designed during the modernist architectural style period by Le Corbusier were characterized by simplicity, comfortability, and regularity. However, the residential buildings of the parametric design style period designed by Zaha Hadid were characterized by complexity, uncomfortability, and irregularity but meaningful.

The design of the Moon Center based on the female perspective

With the opening of China's three child policy and the continuous development of social economy, China's industrial structure has changed constantly. As a new economic growth point, the maternity and infant industry has become a hot industry in recent years. New service industries such as Moon Sister and Moon Center have developed rapidly. The scientific and comfortable modern moon center is increasingly favored by young women. It is undeniable that the emergence of maternity care institutions has timely met the needs of women for puerperal care today. However, there are always many imperfections in the development of emerging industries at the time of their inception, and the Moon Club entered the mainland market late and is in the initial stage of industrial development. From the actual situation of the few existing Moon Centers, it only meets the immediate needs and hasty response, and fails to fundamentally improve and enhance the reasonable, humanized, scientific planning, design and research of Moon Centers. The space function and design style are not mature enough, and there is no deep concept to support it. It is a superficial form, so women's demand for the existing indoor space of postpartum care center has not been met. Therefore, the interior design of postpartum care center must start to change the original design thinking, no longer simply pursue the excessive exaggeration and blandness in style and decoration, but should design a warm and comfortable interior space that conforms to the consumption psychology and aesthetic psychology of newborn mothers based on emotional needs, especially for the functional care of related nursing spaces and its feasible humanized and emotional design.

Investigation and research on cultural and creative design products based on Hui culture

As a representative of China's classical architectural culture, Huipai culture has always been a pioneer highlight in the development of China's cultural industry. However, in recent years, as local cultures continue to recognize the importance of the development of cultural industries, a large number of cultural and creative products based on the extension of Huipai culture have sprung up, but it is not difficult to find that there are many problems such as similar forms of expression, old-fashioned design style, and rough production processes in related content. This study takes the Sanhe Ancient Town in Anhui as a sample to explore the trade-offs in the design of cultural and creative products in the new era.

Eksplorasi Desain Dengan Peta Morfologi (Studi Kasus: Perancangan Desain Mebel Terinspirasi Gaya Memphis Era 1980an)

The paper studies how morphological charts from engineering methods are applied in a creative design process. The method allows designers to think differently and logically. Morphological chart offers vast possibilities for design exploration that can be useful in educating nascent designers. On the other hand, history have inspired many designers to create many new things. Memphis is postmodern design style that occurred between 1981-1987, characterized by form following fun paradigm by creating objects that are bizarre from common object over time. This is a paper analyzing student design history projects to create a design inspired by Memphis design. It presents the framework for exploring design with morphological charts. The chart generating five new ideas ranging from very to less similar to Memphis-like style. Using the morphological chart method, the study discovered three key factors affecting the difference of ideas generated on the study: level of variation, which deals with how many variations the means can provide, the more variations the newer ideas can be generated. Unity level means showing how each element is in harmony with each other. Level of abstraction means the degree of inspiration from the original idea. By paying attention to these three factors, morphological chart can produce better design.

JN-Logo: A Logo Database for Aesthetic Visual Analysis

Data are an important part of machine learning. In recent years, it has become increasingly common for researchers to study artificial intelligence-aided design, and rich design materials are needed to provide data support for related work. Existing aesthetic visual analysis databases contain mainly photographs and works of art. There is no true logo database, and there are few public and high-quality design material databases. Facing these challenges, this paper introduces a larger-scale logo database named JN-Logo. JN-Logo provides 14,917 logo images from three well-known websites around the world and uses the votes of 150 graduate students. JN-Logo provides three types of annotation: aesthetic, style and semantic. JN-Logo’s scoring system includes 6 scoring points, 6 style labels and 11 semantic descriptions. Aesthetic annotations are divided into 0–5 points to evaluate the visual aesthetics of a logo image: the worst is 0 points; the best is 5 points. We demonstrate five advantages of the JN-Logo database: logo images as data objects, rich human annotations, quality scores for image aesthetics, style attribute labels and semantic description of style. We establish a baseline for JN-Logo to measure the effectiveness of its performance on algorithmic models of people’s choices of logo images. We compare existing traditional handcrafted and deep-learned features in both the aesthetic scoring task and the style-labeling task, showing the advantages of deep learning features. In the logo attribute classification task, the EfficientNet _B1 model achieved the best results, reaching an accuracy of 0.524. Finally, we describe two applications of JN-Logo: generating logo design style and similarity retrieval of logo content. The database of this article will eventually be made public.

An investigation of barriers to the application of building information modelling in Nigeria

PurposeThe utilisation of building information modelling (BIM) technology is rapidly increasing among construction professionals across the world. Notwithstanding, recent studies revealed a low level of BIM implementation in the context of the Nigerian construction sector. Moreover, previous studies have established that BIM application comes with its share of various barriers. Therefore, this study aims to carry out an on-site survey on barriers to the application of BIM on construction sites in the Nigerian construction industry.Design/methodology/approachAn extensive review of literature on BIM barriers was conducted, from where 33 factors were identified as significant BIM barriers peculiar to the developing countries. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to the targeted respondents, who are practicing professionals in the Nigerian construction industry, based on the identified barriers. The data collected were analysed by using both descriptive and inferential statistics.FindingsThe principal component analysis revealed that 27 barriers were peculiar to the Nigerian construction industry. The “lack of familiarity with BIM capacity, habitual resistance to change from the traditional style of design and build, and poor awareness of BIM benefit” were identified as the three most critical barriers hindering BIM application on construction sites in the Nigerian construction industry.Practical implicationsThis study reveals key information on the peculiar barriers to BIM application in the Nigerian construction industry. The avoidance of these barriers will not only assist various construction stakeholders in the successful implementation of BIM application on a construction project but also promote information management systems and productivity within the construction industry to a great extent. These will further improve post-construction activities.Originality/valueThis study provides a substantial understanding of BIM state of the art in the context of barriers hindering BIM application on construction sites in the Nigerian construction industry.
