Abstract Bipolar Interval-valued neutrosophic set is another generalization of fuzzy set, neutrosophic set, bipolar fuzzy set and bipolar neutrosophic set and thus when applied to the optimization problem handles uncertain data more efficiently and flexibly. Current work is an effort to design a flexible optimization model in the backdrop of interval-valued bipolar neutrosophic sets. Bipolar interval-valued neutrosophic membership grades are picked so that they indicate the restriction of the plausible infringement of the inequalities given in the problem. To prove the adequacy and effectiveness of the method a unified system of sustainable medical healthcare supply chain More >

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a global humanitarian disaster that has never been seen before. Medical experts, on the other hand, are undecided on the most valuable treatments of therapy because people ill with this infection exhibit a wide range of illness indications at different phases of infection. Further, this project aims to undertake an experimental investigation to determine which treatments for COVID-19 disease is the most effective and preferable. The research analysis is based on vast data gathered from professionals and research journals, making this study a comprehensive reference. To solve this challenging task,… More >

Abstract Software developers endeavor to build their products with the least number of bugs. Despite this, many vulnerabilities are detected in software that threatens its integrity. Various automated software i.e., vulnerability scanners, are available in the market which helps detect and manage vulnerabilities in a computer, application, or a network. Hence, the choice of an appropriate vulnerability scanner is crucial to ensure efficient vulnerability management. The current work serves a dual purpose, first, to identify the key factors which affect the vulnerability discovery process in a network. The second, is to rank the popular vulnerability scanners… More >

Abstract Traditional techniques based on image fusion are arduous in integrating complementary or heterogeneous infrared (IR)/visible (VS) images. Dissimilarities in various kind of features in these images are vital to preserve in the single fused image. Hence, simultaneous preservation of both the aspects at the same time is a challenging task. However, most of the existing methods utilize the manual extraction of features; and manual complicated designing of fusion rules resulted in a blurry artifact in the fused image. Therefore, this study has proposed a hybrid algorithm for the integration of multi-features among two heterogeneous images.… More >

Abstract Suppliers play the vital role of ensuring the continuous supply of goods to the market for businesses. If businesses do not maintain a strong bond with their suppliers, they may not be able to secure a steady supply of goods and products for their customers. As a result of failure to deliver products, the production and business activities of the business can be delayed which leads to the loss of customers. Normally, each trading enterprise will have a variety of commodity supply chains with multiple suppliers. Suppliers play an important role and contribute to the… More >

Abstract Transformation from conventional business management systems to smart digital systems is a recurrent trend in the current era. This has led to digital revolution, and in this context, the hardwired technologies in the software industry play a significant role However, from the beginning, software security remains a serious issue for all levels of stakeholders. Software vulnerabilities lead to intrusions that cause data breaches and result in disclosure of sensitive data, compromising the organizations’ reputation that translates into, financial losses as well. Most of the data breaches are financially motivated, especially in the healthcare sector. The… More >

Abstract During the COVID-19 outbreak, the use of single-use medical supplies increased significantly. It is essential to select suitable sites for establishing medical waste treatment stations. It is a big challenge to solve the medical waste treatment station selection problem due to some conflicting factors. This paper proposes a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) method based on the partitioned Maclaurin symmetric mean (PMSM) operator. For the medical waste treatment station selection problem, the factors or attributes (these two terms can be interchanged.) in the same clusters are closely related, and the attributes in different clusters have no relationships.… More >

Abstract Real-world applications are now dealing with a huge amount of data, especially in the area of high-dimensional features. Trait reduction is one of the major steps in decision making problems. It refers to the determination of a minimum subset of attributes which preserves the final decision based on the entire set of attributes. Unfortunately, most of the current features are irrelevant or redundant, which makes these systems unreliable and imprecise. This paper proposes a new paradigm based on fuzzy soft relationship and level fuzzy soft relationship, called Union - Intersection decision making method. Using these More >

Abstract The aim of this research is to develop a mechanism to help medical practitioners predict and diagnose liver disease. Several systems have been proposed to help medical experts by diminishing error and increasing accuracy in diagnosing and predicting diseases. Among many existing methods, a few have considered the class imbalance issues of liver disorder datasets. As all the samples of liver disorder datasets are not useful, they do not contribute to learning about classifiers. A few samples might be redundant, which can increase the computational cost and affect the performance of the classifier. In this… More >

Abstract This paper aims to introduce the novel concept of the bipolar picture fuzzy set (BPFS) as a hybrid structure of bipolar fuzzy set (BFS) and picture fuzzy set (PFS). BPFS is a new kind of fuzzy sets to deal with bipolarity (both positive and negative aspects) to each membership degree (belonging-ness), neutral membership (not decided), and non-membership degree (refusal). In this article, some basic properties of bipolar picture fuzzy sets (BPFSs) and their fundamental operations are introduced. The score function, accuracy function and certainty function are suggested to discuss the comparability of bipolar picture fuzzy More >
