Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) provide tunable threshold voltages through variations in nanotube chirality, making them suitable for multi-valued logic circuit design. Multi-valued logic enables the representation of more information using fewer interconnects, thereby reducing circuit complexity. This work proposes a CNTFET-based 4-bit Serial-In-Serial-Out (SISO) shift register using ternary transmission gates, positive and negative latches, and D flip-flops, providing a compact sequential architecture with reduced interconnect complexity and improved power-delay performance. Cadence simulations show that the proposed CNTFET shift register achieves 332.6 mW power, 0.499 ns delay, and 1.66E-15 pJ power-delay product (PDP), compared with 400.56 mW, 510.76 ns, and 20.484 pJ, respectively, for the corresponding complementary metaloxide- semiconductor (CMOS) design. Emphasize the integrated multiscale computational framework that connects nanoscale reinforcement behaviour with macroscopic ceramic nanocomposite performance and optimization.
From the 1980s to 2024, modern ceramics in China have undergone significant transformations shaped by cultural policy reforms, global artistic exchange, and shifts in artistic concepts and production practices. Existing studies have largely focused on individual artists, stylistic evolution, or specific art movements, while fewer have examined how broader social, institutional, and policy-related forces have structured the historical development of modern ceramics over time. This study adopts a timeline analysis to map the development of modern ceramics in China from the 1980s to 2024, identifying key milestone events and developmental stages. Drawing on qualitative document analysis and representative case studies, the research examines how cultural policy, international exchange, and evolving artistic paradigms influenced the transformation of ceramics from a primarily craft-based practice to a recognized contemporary art medium. The analysis organizes this historical process into four major stages — early exploration (1980s), institutional formation (1990s), diversification and independent development (2000s), and globalization and technological expansion (2010s–2024). The study employs a qualitative timeline-based document analysis and representative case studies to examine how cultural policy, institutional development, and global artistic exchange shaped modern ceramics in China. In this framework, “institutional formation” refers to the development of ceramic education systems, exhibition platforms, and academic structures during the 1990s, while “globalization and technological expansion” refers to the increasing influence of international exchange, cross-media practices, digital technologies, and global exhibition networks from the 2010s onward. By situating modern ceramics within the contexts of cultural policy and global exchange, this study provides a structured understanding of how modern ceramics in China have been shaped by broader socio-cultural conditions and contributes to social-science discussions on cultural production and the globalization of contemporary art in China.
This study investigates the structural behavior and fatigue performance of a titanium bicycle frame subjected to a loading condition specified by the ISO 4210 standard. A finite element (FE) model of the frame was developed and validated through experimental static tensile testing. The FE model was then used to evaluate the fatigue strength of the frame using the Sines criterion. For each FE node, the hydrostatic stress associated with the mean load in the cycle and the von Mises stress corresponding to the load amplitude were combined. The analysis revealed high stress levels in the top tube, down tube, and head tube regions. A reinforcement strategy based on increasing the tube thickness in these areas was assessed using FE analysis, demonstrating improved compliance with the fatigue requirements.
This paper presents the theoretical modeling of the microfluidic transport of immiscible, non-Newtonian fluids (specifically, Jeffrey and Casson fluids) through a vertical porous medium by considering magnetohydrodynamic (MHD), Hall current, electroosmotic, buoyancy, thermal radiation, and internal heat generation effects all simultaneously. Current literature in this area has primarily focused on Newtonian or single non-Newtonian fluid flows and has not addressed two distinct non-Newtonian fluid flow models in multiphase porous systems with Hall effects and electroosmosis. To accomplish this goal, governing continuity, momentum, and energy equations were formulated for each of the two fluids; the equations were reduced to non-dimensional form through appropriate scaling and analytical solutions for velocity and temperature distributions were obtained. The key findings of this study include that the velocity profile of both fluids is enhanced at high permeability and at high electroosmotic flow parameters and is reduced by the Lorentz force associated with a high magnetic field strength. Theoretical modeling at this level can provide important information on the dynamics of immiscible fluids that can be applied to the design and operation of microfluidic systems and technological applications associated with energy transport and thermal management for cooling systems.
The increasing prevalence of chronic illness, psychological stress, and environment degradation in the workplace has necessitated a comprehensive digital strategy for employee health. This research introduces a modular Augmented Reality (AR) framework, SEHAT 360°, TENANG 360°, and HIJAU 360°, designed to enhance physical, mental, and environmental well-being among employees. The project employs the ADDIE framework during its analysis and design phases and conducts surveys with 647 employees across five industries to ascertain health priorities and digital engagement preferences. Each module comprises interactive AR content, behavioural monitoring, gamification, and tailored feedback to encourage healthy behaviours and sustained engagement. The system is systematically designed using database schemas and entity-relationship diagrams to ensure scalability. It features a scalable architecture, aligned with ESG indicators and SDGs. It offers a novel, unified approach by combining physical, mental, and environmental health education through immersive AR, an integration not yet explored in existing workplace wellness applications.
