This study presents the design and implementation of a PLC microprocessor adhering to the IEC-61131-3 standard, executed on a Cyclone V FPGA using a DE10-NANO development board. Our microprocessor optimizes the central processing unit by streamlining the data path, achieving a remarkable simulated response time of approximately 60 ns, equivalent to three clock cycles at a 50 MHz frequency for Boolean operations. To substantiate our approach, we conducted practical experiments utilizing a FESTO conveyor station, employing relays as actuators, and incorporating optical and inductive sensors. The results underscore the feasibility of our proposed approach and serve as practical validation of its efficacy. This work introduces a promising avenue for the development of cost-effective PLCs employing SoC FPGA variants. Additionally, a thorough comparison of execution times with other early reported architectures. Our microprocessor outperforms even well-established PLCs like the S7-312, with substantial reductions in execution times of 94.54% for floating-point operations, 71.42–93.33% for word operations, and up to 78.57% for bit operations.

India's 65% population resides in rural regions, making these places the heart and soul of the nation. These regions, along with their residents and houses, serve as a reflection of the nation. Previous researchers have described rural houses in social and humanities literature, but their observations have mostly been descriptive rather than analytical. Therefore, conducting a thorough analytical investigation is necessary to fully understand the mental image that people currently have of rural houses. This study aims to develop a theoretical framework for the typology of rural houses and identify the aspects that contribute to a thorough understanding of housing in rural India. The current state of rural houses must be examined as they are changing from traditional to modern architecture. The research study area was selected, Lakhan Village in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. In this village, fieldwork was carried out to determine the types and characteristics of long-established houses. A simple random sampling method was employed to collect the data, and the sample size was determined using the Cochrane formula. The authors' extensive professional first-hand experience in rural houses in Uttar Pradesh integrates with theoretical and analytical analysis in this research. The study sheds light on the development of rural houses in Lakhan Village and highlights several elements that have an impact on a house's overall imageability. It includes recommendations for future growth, gives an in-depth understanding of how rural housing has developed in India, and discusses the reasons that have influenced that development. The study's conclusion highlights the significance of utilizing a holistic strategy to address the challenges with rural housing. The findings of this study will be helpful to researchers, policymakers, and other officials involved in constructing rural houses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the rapid growth of urbanization and the increasing demand for transportation, urban traffic congestion has become a hindrance to individuals’ travel experience. Urban intersections are one of the primary sources of traffic congestion, and these bottlenecks have a negative impact not only on traffic efficacy but also on the surrounding road traffic in the region. To alleviate urban traffic congestion, cyber-physical systems have been widely implemented in the transportation industry, allowing for the perception, analysis, calculation, and dispatching of urban traffic flow, as well as making urban transportation safe, efficient, and quick. As the system scale and functions increase, system design has become increasingly complex, necessitating a deeper comprehension of the system’s structure and interaction relationships to construct a stable and reliable system. Therefore, this study proposes a method for designing cyber-physical systems for urban traffic intersections based on Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). This method models and analyses exhaustively the system’s requirements, functions, and logical architecture using System Modeling Language (SysML). After the architecture design has been completed, an architecture verification and optimization method based on Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) for urban road intersection cyber-physical systems is utilized to analyze the architecture’s reliability by analyzing the failure modes of activities and to optimize the system architecture to improve the design’s efficiency and reliability.

Abstract Desertification, deforestation, climate change, global warming, and economic instability are leading to serious problems in many countries. Two of these negative factors are the decrease in agriculture areas and food scarcity. This situation caused many countries to reconsider their agriculture polices and think of new solutions. The United Nations also addressed the problem via its “SDG—Sustainable Development Goals” agenda. One of its major goals is the change towards green and sustainable communities that can produce their own food. Rooftop farming in places with suitable climatic conditions was encouraged by the “SDG” and governments of many countries. The paper discusses the potential of utilizing Egyptian residential rooftops for rooftop farming, the Egyptian urban fabric is very dense with residential buildings. Taking the Egyptian “Asmarat” residential neighborhood as an exercise, the study aims to fulfilling the following three goals: 1- On a food security Level: if rooftop farming is extensively applied across all cities and villages in Egypt, a mass production threshold of exporting vegetables and fruits may be reached that will significantly participate in the overall national GDP, 2- On a socio-economic level: rooftop farming will create jobs for informal workers and the jobless, turning an individual from a jobless person to a busy one is the best practical solution for changing behavioral norms from the tendency towards crime, hanging around on the streets, and drug addiction towards a decent and productive society., and 3- On an environmental level.: Large cities suffer from crowds, high building densities, pollution, and scarcity of open green areas. Rooftop farming increases the “Urban Green Space—UGS” of the city, reduce pollution, decrease global warming, and purify the atmosphere.

Objective Under the existing modes, when a core equipment in the OCC (operation control center) fails, the BOCC (backup operation control center) needs to be activated, which greatly increases the dispatchers′ difficulty in operation command. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on optimization of the OCC and BOCC architecture design. Method ATS (automatic train supervision) system is taken as an example for analysis. The configuration of ATS system in OCC and BOCC is introduced. The function positioning of BOCC, the working principle and switching mode of OCC and BOCC before and after OCC and BOCC architecture design optimization are analyzed. Result & Conclusion The optimization of OCC and BOCC architecture design significantly improves the redundancy, greatly reduces the scenarios requiring dispatchers to move to BOCC for operation command, and obviously decreases the impact of ATS system faults on related external interface systems.

Traditional text-based system engineering, which has been used in the design and application of passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) for lead-cooled fast reactors, is prone to several problems such as low development efficiency, long iteration cycles, and model ambiguity. This study aims to effectively address the above-mentioned problems by adopting a model-based system engineering (MBSE) method, which has been preliminarily applied to meet the design requirements of a PRHRS. The design process has been implemented based on the preliminary design of the system architecture and consists of three stages: top-level requirement analysis, functional requirements analysis, and design requirements synthesis. The results of the top-level requirements analysis and the corresponding use case diagram can determine the requirements, top-level use cases, and scenario flow of the system. During the functional requirements analysis, the sequence, activity, and state machine diagrams are used to develop the system function model and provide early confirmation. By comparing these sequence diagrams, the requirements for omissions and inconsistencies can be effectively checked. In the design requirements synthesis stage, the Analytic Hierarchy Process is used to conduct preliminary trade-off calculations on the system architecture, after which a white box model is established during the system architecture design. Through these two steps, the analysis and design of the system architecture are ultimately achieved. The resulting system architecture ensures the consistency of the design requirements. Ultimately, a functional hazard analysis was conducted for a specific incident to validate case requirements and further refine the system architecture. Future research can further reduce the design risk, improve the design efficiency, and provide a practical reference for the design and optimization of PRHRS in digital lead-cooled fast reactors.

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is a widely adopted optimization strategy in datacenter networking that surpasses traditional kernel-based TCP/IP networking through mechanisms such as kernel bypass and hardware offloading. However, RDMA also faces a scalability challenge with regard to connection management due to limited on-chip memory capacity in the RDMA Network Interface Card (RNIC). This necessitates the storage of connection context within RNIC's memory and induces considerable performance degradation when maintaining a large number of connections. In this paper, we propose a novel RNIC microarchitecture design that achieves peak performance and scales well with the number of connections. First, we model RNIC and identify two key factors that degrade performance when the number of connections grows large: head-of-line blocking when accessing the connection context and connection context dependency in transmission processing. To address the head-of-line blocking problem, we then combine a non-blocking connection requester and connection context management module to process prepared connections first, which achieves peak message rate when the number of connections grows large. Besides, to eliminate connection context dependency in RNIC, we deploy a latency-hiding connection context scheduling strategy, maintaining low latency when the number of connections increases. We implement and evaluate our design, demonstrating its successful maintenance of peak message rate (66.4 Mop/s) and low latency (3.89 µs) while scaling to over 50,000 connections with less on-chip memory footprint.

Optimizing the architecture of superconducting quantum processors is crucial for improving the efficiency of executing quantum programs. Existing schemes either modify general-purpose architectures, which might lead to an increase in the probability of qubit frequency collisions, or customize special-purpose architectures based on the quantum programs to reduce the gate operations after qubit mapping, but the architectures lack support for the post-mapping gate operations' optimization of multiple programs, which reduce their reusability. In this study, we propose a new processor architecture design method that reduces the average growth of the total post-mapping gate count on multiple quantum programs as well as to reduce the impact of processor architecture on frequency collisions, and thus improve the reusability of special-purpose processor. The main idea is to construct a new architecture by finding maximum common edge subgraph among multiple special-purpose processor architectures. To show the effectiveness of our method, we selected quantum programs with different functions covering 9 types of qubit numbers for comparison. Comprehensive simulation results show that the architecture schemes generated by using our method outperform two general-purpose architecture schemes based on the square lattice and the eff-5-freq's special-purpose architecture schemes, respectively. Compared to the all 2-qubit bus and the eff-5-freq's architecture schemes, after qubit mapping, the architecture schemes of our method have the smallest average growth of gate operations in multiple quantum programs (the largest average growth is 5.63%), which further supports the execution of different quantum programs. Meanwhile, the architecture schemes of our method also reduce the probability of frequency collisions by at least 4.48% compared to all other schemes. Furthermore, we compared our method with another special-purpose design method. In the schemes of different special-purpose architecture design methods, our method is able to generate architectures with better matching for multiple quantum programs. Therefore, our method can provide superconducting quantum processor architecture design with higher reusability for multiple quantum programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Buildings in Islamic architecture are distinguished by dazzling features in general, especially religious buildings such as mosques, schools, and shrines. The literature could not find a clear identification of reaching the dazzling concept. Moreover, researchers in the Islamic architecture discipline did not focus on determining sufficient knowledge of the design methods of applying the dazzling approach in Islamic architecture, and they did not clarify a specific detailed vocabulary of Islamic dazzling concepts. However, the problem of the study was identified by observing the literature and buildings. Therefore, the formulated question encompasses "the unclear knowledge of applying designing procedure of dazzling characteristics in Islamic Architecture buildings." The study raised an important question: "What is the design methodology of dazzling features in religious buildings within Islamic Architecture." The study aims to identify the practical design elements, principles, and rules of the dazzling characteristics in religious buildings in Islamic architecture to draw out a guideline that designers can apply in contemporary Islamic Architecture. The theoretical framework of the dazzling concept was constructed to achieve this aim, with variables and sub-variables highlighted to identify the design methodology that can actualize dazzling concept in Islamic architecture by reviewing previous studies. The abstracted variables used in designing the checklist were applied to analyze the cases formally. Selecting cases from religious buildings from Islamic style depends on specific criteria. However, the results analyzed statically showed that dazzling concept in Islamic architecture applied in five major levels (structure, form, architectural elements, interior space, and ornamentation) with seven main principles (richness, exaggeration, uniqueness, complexity, proportion, and ambiguity). Richness is the most affected factor in applying clear dazzling concept, while exaggeration and uniqueness are second-rated factors that can impact the value. Dazzling concept is an essential characteristic that designers should apply in contemporary Islamic architecture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In summary, this research study presents a groundbreaking approach to energy-efficient architectural design using AI, with promising results and wide-ranging applicability. It also thoughtfully addresses the ethical considerations and potential societal impacts of this technological integration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To satisfy the ever-growing demands for high energy density electrical vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems, thick electrode has been proposed and proven to be an effective way to achieve high energy density. However, the electrochemical performance of thick electrode is hindered by inferior mechanical stabilities, poor charge transport kinetics, severe lithiation heterogeneities and anabatic thermal risks, which block its step to commercialization. Herein, we reviewed the crucial issues arising in thick electrode, and provided latest insights into theoretical modeling and experimental design for next-generation LIBs electrodes by a combination of existing design methods and multiscale models. Then, we summarized recent advances in emerging architecture designs of thick electrodes for high-performance LIBs. Moreover, some in-depth underlying issues associated with thick electrode and possible solutions were taken into account.

Nowadays, advanced aluminum matrix composites (AAMCs) are known as the dominant emerging materials employable in different industrial sectors. The reason behind the use of AAMCs originates from the urgent need for weight reduction as well as high efficiency in the automotive, agriculture, aerospace, mining, and electronic applications. This paper deeply reviewed several recent progresses of AMMCs in architecture designs and advanced manufacturing technologies to break through the limitations and promote the overall performance of the AMMCs. The discussion offers a deep understanding of specific issues mainly related to the well-known strength-ductility conflict. As a matter of fact, the dependency of the properties of materials on the microstructure (size dependent) and their components (e.g. high-performance nano reinforcements) could simultaneously provide high efficiency and a series of size-dependent effects. Designing tailored architectures (e.g. harmonic structure, hierarchical structure, multimodal distributions, layered architectures, network structure, gradient structures, heterogeneous laminated structures), known as most promising, provides new routes for attaining high-efficiency and mechanical properties optimization. It is worth noting that special distribution concept in architecture design is to be used carefully, as a homogenous distribution suggests all the reinforcements are distributed in the undifferentiated locations while inhomogeneous distribution stands for the selective distributed locations following certain regularities. These novel architecture designs could be achieved through applying the advanced manufacturing technologies (e.g. severe plastic deformation, additive manufacturing, and powder metallurgy-based technologies) with the potential to be used on a large scale by employing innovative techniques for the preparation, processing, and producing of AAMCs. This paper aims to correlate the most important factor namely size dependency (in the opinion of the authors) to mechanical properties in architectural designs in AMMCs, and should serve as a guide for research on AMMCs, to design target performance levels for applications to numerous and different industrial applications.

A national population census is instrumental in offering a holistic view of a country's progress, directly influencing policy formulation and strategic planning. Potential flaws in the census system can have detrimental impacts on national development. Our prior research has pinpointed various deficiencies in current census methodologies, including inadequate population coverage, racial and ethnic discrimination, and challenges related to data privacy, security, and distribution. This study aims to address the "missing persons" challenge in the national census population and housing system. The integration of blockchain technology emerges as a promising solution for addressing these identified issues, enhancing the integrity and efficacy of census processes. Building upon our earlier research which examined the national census system of Pakistan, we propose an architecture design incorporating Hyperledger Fabric, performing system sizing for the entire nation count. The Blockchain-Based Implementation of National Census as a Supplementary Instrument for Enhanced Transparency, Accountability, Privacy, and Security (BINC-TAPS) seeks to provide a robust, transparent, scalable, immutable, and tamper-proof solution for conducting national population and housing censuses, while also fostering socio-economic advancements. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of our research, with a primary focus on the implementation of the blockchain-based proposed solution, including prototype testing and the resulting outcomes.

Children with cochlear implants (CI) have unique physical, psychological, and behavioral needs compared to typically developing children, thus they go through a rehabilitation process for education and activity purposes in a rehabilitation center (RC). The provision of specialized support for children with CI reflects a nation's commitment to inclusivity and care for all segments of society. This study investigates the research gab of the needs of children with CI (aged 1–6) to identify the fundamental design requirements in order to develop an architectural design checklist for their classrooms. Through literature review and comparisons with standard preschool designs for typically developed children, the research identifies key design elements affecting these children's learning and integration. This study establishes a framework for optimizing RC's classroom design for children with CI. Following a methodological discussion addressing pertinent research considerations, a comprehensive user experience questionnaire was conducted. The questionnaire included participants from various stakeholder groups: parents, educators, medical professionals (psychiatrists and doctors), and design experts (architectural and acoustic engineers). The findings inform the identification of essential design elements encompassing layout, materials selection, ventilation strategies, lighting systems, acoustic control measures, and color palettes. Following analysis, the research concludes with a design checklist outlining optimal ranges (100 % = sub-optimum, 50 % = optimum, 0 % = over design) for each element, including furniture layout, color schemes, materials, classroom shape, lighting, and ventilation. This checklist ensures RC classrooms effectively cater to the specific needs of children with CI.

To overcome the strength-toughness inversion relationship in steel/Fe matrix composites, a novel W-WC/Fe composite fiber-reinforced Fe matrix composite ((W-WC/Fe)f-IMC) with exceptional strength and toughness was fabricated by an in-situ fabrication method combining infiltration and in-situ solid-phase diffusion. The (W-WC/Fe)f-IMC consists of aligned W-WC/Fe composite fibers embedded in an Fe matrix. The W-WC/Fe composite fiber exhibits a characteristic core-shell structure on its cross section, with a resilient metal W fiber serving as the core and a robust annular WC-Fe layer acting as the shell. Due to the inward-outward growth and the gradient microstructure of the WC-Fe layer, the interface bonding strength between the W fiber/WC-Fe layer and the WC-Fe layer/matrix remains excellent. As a result, the (W-WC/Fe)f-IMC achieves an exceptional fracture strain of 35.5 ± 1.3 %, while maintaining high yield strength of 701 ± 16 MPa and ultimate compression strength of 1100 ± 18 MPa, surpassing those of cast Fe, which had values of 26.9 ± 1.1 %, 365 ± 20 MPa, and 834 ± 15 MPa, respectively. The simultaneous enhancement of the strength and toughness in (W-WC/Fe)f-IMC can be primarily attributed to the synergistic coupling effect between the high strength W-WC/Fe composite fibers and the tough matrix. The strategy proposed in this study holds promise as a method to alleviate the trade-off between strength and ductility in steel/Fe matrix composites.

With the new concept of computing force network being put forward, how to manage, cooperate and deploy after the integration of computing power and network has become an urgent problem for telecom operators. To better solve the problems of unified management, perceptual dispatch, and collaborative arrangement of multi-dimensional resources such as network, computing, and storage, we study from the direction of computing force network management and control. Then we investigate the overall architecture design of computing force network management and control system, the core capabilities, and the evolution of underlying network technology. Based on the principle of "the network changes with the computing force, and the network strengthens the computing force", the collaborative mode of "horizontal connection and vertical dispatch" of the computing force network is formed with the help of the management and control system capabilities. Eventually, we believe it will effectively support the development demands of computing force network business and help the development of the national "Eastern Data and Western Computing" project.
