Sustainable settlement is one of the key constituents of sustainable development, and sustainable urban development can be defined in this framework. Emergence of sustainable development as a commonly-used phrase has caused several controversies about urban forms. Today’s urban form is known as a source of environmental problems. Undoubtedly, this phrase has persuaded many of researchers to sea...

Logic built-in self-test (LBIST), is a mechanism that lets an (IC) test the integrity of its own digital logic structures. LBIST operates by stimulating the logic-based operations of the IC and then detecting if the logic behaved as intended. The main advantage of LBIST is that it provides test capability without an external tester. In particular, safety-critical designs need to be tested and r...

The increasing growth of sub-micron technology has resulted in the difficulty of testing. Design and test engineers have left no choice but to accept new responsibilities that had been performed by group of technicians in the previous years. Design engineers who do not design systems with full testability had increased the possibility of product failures and missed market opportunities. BIST is...

This paper discusses practical issues involved in applying logic built-in self-test (BIST) to four large industrial designs. These multi-clock designs, ranging in size from 200K to 800K gates, pose significant challenges to logic BIST methodology, flow, and tools. The paper presents the process of generating a BIST-compliant core along with the logic BIST controller for at-speed testing. Compar...

Land use planning is always officially implemented as an effective tool to control urban development and protect farmland. However, its impact on land use change remains untested in China. Using a case study of Hang-Jia-Hu region, the main objective of this paper was to investigate the influence of different land use spatial control schemes on farmland conversion and urban development. Comparis...

True software-defined radio cellular base stations require extremely fast data converters, which can currently not be implemented in semiconductor technology. Superconductor Niobium-based delta ADCs have shown to be able to perform this task. The problem of testing these devices is a severe task, as still very little is known about possible defects in this technology. This paper shows an approa...

This Study has discussed the meaning of public space and has shown that public spaces are an essential part of people’s lives. It has also identified the key urban design and architectural ideologies that have influenced the shape of the built environment, and has discussed how each has perceived the value of public spaces. In the following provides an overview of the relationship between peopl...
