Single Valued Neutrosophic Sets Approach for Assessment Wind Power Plant

Full exploitation of offshore wind resources still needs to be completed despite their significant potential to reduce the impacts of climate change via the production of renewable power. Planning strategies that include wind resources, safety, economic, social, and government impacts are essential for advancing offshore wind generation projects. This study aims to evaluate the criteria for wind power plants and select the best turbine. This process has various conflict criteria, so the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology deals with multiple criteria. The ARAS method is an MCDM method used to rank the alternatives. The ARAS method uses the single-valued neutrosophic set to deal with uncertain information. We gathered eleven criteria and fifteen alternatives. The results show the turbine resource is the best and the economic criterion is the worst. The sensitivity analysis is conducted to ensure the proposed model's results and show the strength of the proposed method. The results show the proposed model is suitable for selecting the best wind power plant.

Choice Optimal Fuel Alternative in Thermal Power Station Using Neutrosophic Set and MCDM Methodology

In a power plant, the fuel choice directly impacts the efficiency, cost, and ecological impact of generating electricity. For power plants to produce electricity effectively and affordably to fulfill the needs of consumers in homes, companies, and communities, they need a fuel supply that is constant, dependable, and inexpensive. In this study, we used the concept of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) to deal with the various criteria of fuel alternatives. We used the EDAS method as an MCDM methodology to rank the fuel alternatives and select the best one. The EDAS method is employed with the interval-valued neutrosophic sets (IVNSs) to deal with the uncertainty information in the evaluation process. We compute the weights of the criteria of thermodynamic parameters. We used ten thermodynamic parameters such as temperature, mass, energy, etc. Then, the principal results show that temperature is the best criterion, and the work interaction is the worst criterion in all criteria. The EDAS method ranked twenty alternatives. The results show that alternative 20 are the best and alternative 14 is the worst of all alternatives. We employed the sensitivity analysis to show the rank of alternatives under ten cases. The results show the 20 alternative is the best in all cases. The results are stable.

Intelligent Classification of JPEG files by Support Vector Machines with Content-based Feature Extraction

Nowadays, multimedia files play a basic role in supporting evidence analysis for making decisions about a crime through looking at files as a digital guide or evidence. Multimedia files such as JPG images are a common format because many documents and memorial images on laptops are valuable. In addition, many JPG images on Laptops are valuable and have fewer structure contents, making recovery possible when their file system is missing. However, intelligent systems for fully recovering corrupted JPG images into their original form is a challenging research issue. In this research, a support vector machine (SVM) as intelligent classifier algorithm is proposed to classify JPG or non-JEG image clusters as part of multimedia files. The SVM classifies the data clusters on three content-based feature extraction (entropy, byte frequency distribution, and rate of change approach to derive cluster features) methods to optimize the identification of JPG image content. The SVM classifier is applied using a radial basis and polynomial kernel functions in MATLAB software. The experimental results show that the accuracy of classification of the SVM classifier with the polynomial function is 96.21%, and the SVM classifier with the radial basis function is 57.58%.

Early Energy Consumption Prediction as a Key Element in Smart City Sustainability

In the era of smart cities, the pursuit of sustainability stands as a paramount goal, with energy management playing a central role. This paper is dedicated to the exploration of early energy consumption prediction as a linchpin in the realization of sustainable smart cities. Employing advanced long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, we introduce a potent predictive model tailored to anticipate energy consumption patterns within urban environments. Notably, our model achieves remarkable performance metrics, with a root mean square error of 547.71 and a strikingly low mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 1.22. Through meticulous comparisons against baseline models, our LSTM-based approach emerges as a beacon of accuracy, reliability, and sustainability. Beyond predictive analytics, our research offers actionable insights for urban planners and policymakers, fostering the creation of greener, more sustainable, and ecologically responsible smart cities that harmonize technological innovation with environmental stewardship. As smart cities continue to evolve, our work lays the foundation for a future where sustainability is not merely a goal but a reality.

Security and Privacy Protection for Online Electronic Documents Based on Novel Encryption Techniques

Corporate strategies have employed techniques that enter the domain of shadow and espionage in this rapidly developing, technologically competitive business environment. Supporting a security strategy is a way to counter these possible dangers. To preserve corporate success in the marketplace, network security needs to be crucial to the protection of electronic documents. Encryption technology has become more important in recent years for protecting online digital documents. This research was motivated by the fact that document verification has become quite time-consuming and difficult due to a variety of challenging and laborious processes. Existing technologies often malfunction when a single kind of encryption, such as AES, Data Encryption Standard (DES), or Rivest, Shamir, Adleman (RSA), is utilized at the request of the customer. Therefore, this study proposes hybrid cryptography, which integrates two novel algorithms into existing encryption protocols. A digital signature is generated for the data when a user uploads a data. The data are encrypted in parallel using the suggested Secured Hash Function-256 (SHA-256) method with improved DES and RSA (SHA-256+Enhanced DES+RSA). The proposed encryption method was shown to be more accurate than previous studies in experimental evaluations of  data encryption.

Prediction of Rainfall Trends Using Forecasting Approaches Based on Singular Spectrum Analysis

Advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things provide an integrated platform for weather focusing, including rainfall and flood prediction. Large rainfall data frequently contain noise, which can be difficult to analyze using a standard time series model due to violated assumptions. Singular spectrum analysis (SSA) is a model-free time series analysis method that is widely used. This study aims to predict the rainfall trends in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, using the Recurrent SSA (SSA-R) and Vector SSA (SSA-V). The SSA-R forecasts using the recurrent continuation directly with the linear recurrent formula, while the SSA-V is a modified recurrent method. This study used 50 years of monthly rainfall data (1970-2019) from 25 stations in the special region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The SSA steps for forecasting rainfall data include decomposition (embedding and singular value decomposition), reconstruction (grouping and diagonal averaging), and evaluating the SSA model using w-correlation (if w-correlation is close to zero, returning to the decomposition stage; otherwise, continue the process), forecasting, evaluating the forecast results using root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error, r, and mean forecast error, and finally selecting the best model (either the SSA-R or SSA-V model). The results showed that the SSA-R performed better than SSA-V due to the smallest RMSE in the dry, rainy, and inter-monsoon seasons. The SSA-R model’s forecast results revealed faint, constant patterns for the dry, and rainy seasons and an increasing pattern for the inter-monsoon season. The novelty of this study is to compare the performance of the SSA-R and SSA-V models in the large rainfall data in the special region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Wetland Mapping by Fusion of Deep learning and Ensemble Model for Enhancing Prediction Outcomes

Constraints perceived in different socioeconomic situations reinforce land use patterns and land cover (LULC) at different levels. However, the statistical information regarding the LULC variations encounters enormous significance for the execution and modelling of appropriate environmental variations and resource management with the available remote sensed data from diverse satellite images and advanced computing technologies; information is generally retrieved from the image classification approaches. However, a broader quantitative analysis of various classification approaches is crucial to choosing an effectual classifier model to acquire appropriate land use regions. We concentrate on the Karavetti region and its related fields in this study. We use a Non-Linear Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network (NLR-CNN) to analyze the data statistically. Well-known techniques such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Decision Tree (DT), among others are used to evaluate the model performance. High-resolution images and the data points supplied are also used to assess the accuracy of the categorization and prediction. A confusion matrix is generated where the land cover regions show superior classification accuracy with the fusion model. Also, the NDVI facts and additional metrics like loss, error rate and kappa coefficients are analyzed. Therefore, the outcomes show that the anticipated is considered more robust with better performance to enhance the classification accuracy with the specific land cover regions.

Forward feature selection: empirical analysis

Feature selection is an important preprocessing step in many data science and machine learning applications. Although there exist several sophisticated feature selection algorithms, their benefits are sometimes overshadowed by their complexity and slow execution. Therefore, in many cases, a more simple algorithm may be better suited. In this paper, we demonstrate that a rudimentary forward selection algorithm can achieve optimal performance with a low time complexity. Our study is based on an extensive empirical evaluation of the forward feature selection algorithm in the context of linear regression. Concretely, we compare the forward selection algorithm against the gold standard exhaustive search algorithm based on several datasets. The results show that the forward selection algorithm achieves high performance with relatively fast execution. Given the simplicity, accuracy, and speed of the forward feature selection algorithm, we recommend it as a primary feature selection method for most regression applications. Our results are particularly pertinent in the case of big data and real-time analysis.

A Multi-Criteria Decision Making TOPSIS Fusion Approach for Selection Best Strategy Charging for Electric Bus Systems

An essential part of electrifying bus networks is deciding on the appropriate charging strategy among the many available alternatives, such as opportunistic (rapid) charging techniques and overnight (slow) charging. The broad usage of electric buses in public transportation networks and the increasing demand for environmentally friendly transportation options have elevated the significance of this step. This research establishes a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) fusion method for choosing the optimal electric bus charging strategy by considering various variables, including operational, quality-of-service, social, environmental, and economic factors. To determine what matters most for making decisions in this field, we surveyed electric bus specialists and reviewed the literature extensively. We used the TOPSIS method as an MCDM fusion method to combine the criteria and alternatives. We compute the weights of criteria by the average method. Then, the TOPSIS fusion method selects and ranks the alternatives. We collected the 20 criteria and five alternatives in this study. We show that overnight is the best charging strategy in the electric bus system. We performed a sensitivity analysis to show the different cases in criteria weights, then ranked the alternatives under different weights to establish the stability of the results.
