Abstract Since the scaling of transistors is growing rapidly, the need for an efficient alternative for the Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology to obtain further and extra processes in the circuits has known as the main problem. Over the last decade, Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) technology due to its excellent potential in developing designs with low-power consumption, high-speed, and high-density has been recognized as a suitable replacement to CMOS technology. In this regard, lowering the number of gates, the amount of cell count, and delay has been emphasized in the design of QCA-based circuits. Adders as the main unit in logic circuits and digital arithmetic play an important role in constructing various effective QCA designs. In this regard, Ripple Carry Adder (RCA) is a simple form of adders and due to its remarkable features can be useful to reach circuits with the minimum required area and power consumption. Therefore, in this study, a new design for RCA in QCA technology is recommended to reduce the cell count, amend the complexity, and decrease the latency. To verify the correctness of the suggested circuit, the QCADesigner version 2.0.3 as a well known simulator has been used. The evaluation results confirm that the proposed design has approximately 28.6% improvement in cell count in comparison to the state-of-the-art four-bit coplanar RCA designs in QCA technology. Also, the obtained results designate the effectiveness of the advised plan.

Samples of heparinized blood, or bone marrow aspirates, or cell suspensions prepared from biopsied tissues (nodes, spleen, etc. ) are routinely prepared, after Ficoll-Hypaque concentration of the mononuclear leucocytes, for scanning electron microscopy. One drop of the cell suspension is placed in a moist chamber on a poly-l-lysine pretreated plastic coverslip (Mazia et al., J. Cell Biol. 66:198-199, 1975) and fifteen minutes allowed for cell attachment. Fixation, started in 2. 5% glutaraldehyde in culture medium at room temperature for 30 minutes, is continued in the same fixative at 4°C overnight or longer. Ethanol dehydration is immediately followed by drying at the critical point of CO2 or of Freon 13. An efficient alternative method for ethanol dehydrated cells is to dry the cells at low temperature (-75°C) under vacuum (10-2 Torr) for 30 minutes in an Edwards-Pearse freeze-dryer (de Harven et al., SEM/IITRI/1977, 519-524). This is preceded by fast quenching in supercooled ethanol (between -90 and -100°C).

ABSTRACT Rolling contact is an important aspect in tire design, and reliable numerical simulations are required in order to improve the tire layout, performance, and safety. This includes the consideration of as many significant characteristics of the materials as possible. An example is found in the nonlinear and inelastic properties of the rubber compounds. For numerical simulations of tires, steady state rolling is an efficient alternative to standard transient analyses, and this work makes use of an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation for the computation of the inertia contribution. Since the reference configuration is neither attached to the material nor fixed in space, handling history variables of inelastic materials becomes a complex task. A standard viscoelastic material approach is implemented. In the inelastic steady state rolling case, one location in the cross-section depends on all material locations on its circumferential ring. A consistent linearization is formulated taking into account the contribution of all finite elements connected in the hoop direction. As an outcome of this approach, the number of nonzero values in the general stiffness matrix increases, producing a more populated matrix that has to be solved. This implementation is done in the commercial finite element code ANSYS. Numerical results confirm the reliability and capabilities of the linearization for the steady state viscoelastic material formulation. A discussion on the results obtained, important remarks, and an outlook on further research conclude this work.
