With recent advancements in techniques for cellular data acquisition, information on cellular processes has been increasing at a dramatic rate. Visualization is critical to analyzing and interpreting complex information; representing cellular processes or pathways is no exception. VISIBIOweb is a free, open-source, web-based pathway visualization and layout service for pathway models in BioPAX ...

This paper presents the design, layout, and testability analysis of delay-insensitive circuits on cellular arrays for nanocomputing system design. In delay-insensitive circuits the delay on a signal path does not affect the correctness of circuit behavior. The combination of delayinsensitive circuit style and cellular arrays is a useful step to implement nanocomputing systems. In the approach p...

quantum-dot cellular automata (qca) has low power consumption and high density and regularity. qca widely supports the new devices designed for nanotechnology. application of qca technology as an alternative method for cmos technology on nano-scale shows a promising future. this paper presents successful designing, layout and analysis of multiplexer with a new structure in qca technique. in thi...

quantum-dot cellular automata (qca) is an emerging and promising technology that provides significant improvements over cmos. recently qca has been advocated as an applicant for implementing reversible circuits. however qca, like other nanotechnologies, suffers from a high fault rate. the main purpose of this paper is to develop a fault tolerant model of qca circuits by redundancy in hardware a...

This paper proposes a new integrative view of manufacturing cell formation and both inter-cell and intra-cell layout problems. Cells formation and their popular bi-directional linear layout are determined simultaneously through a Dynamic Programming algorithm (with the objective of minimizing the inter-cell flow cost under a cell size constraint). This Dynamic Programming algorithm is implement...

Multi-objective layout optimization methods for the conceptual design of robot cellular manufacturing systems are proposed in this paper. Robot cellular manufacturing systems utilize one or more flexible robots which can carry out a large number of operations, and can conduct flexible assemble processes. The layout design stage of such manufacturing systems is especially important since fundame...

This paper introduces a two-point topological derivative for elasticity and cellular developmental method layout optimization of structures. The measures the change on functional due to addition thin ligament between parts domain. It contrasts with existing single-point derivatives that measure subtraction material. Based derivative, is presented, which builds structure in sequence divisions dy...
