Using $$p,q,r-$$ fractional fuzzy sets ( $$p,q,r-$$ FFS) to demonstrate the stability of cryptocurrencies is considered due to the complex and volatile nature of cryptocurrency markets, where traditional models may fall short in capturing nuances and uncertainties. $$p,q,r-$$ FFS provides a flexible framework for modeling cryptocurrency stability by accommodating imprecise data, multidimensional analysis of various market factors, and adaptability to the unique characteristics of the cryptocurrency space, potentially offering a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing stability. Existing studies have explored Picture Fuzzy Sets and Spherical Fuzzy Sets, built on membership, neutrality, and non-membership grades. However, these sets can’t reach the maximum value (equal to $$1$$ ) due to grade constraints. For example, when considering $$\wp =(h,\langle \text{0.9,0.8,1.0}\rangle \left|h\in H\right.)$$ , these sets fall short. This is obvious when a decision-maker possesses complete confidence in an alternative, they have the option to assign a value of 1 as the assessment score for that alternative. This signifies that they harbor no doubts or uncertainties regarding the chosen option. To address this, $$p,q,r-$$ Fractional Fuzzy Sets ( $$p,q,r-$$ FFSs) are introduced, using new parameters $$p$$ , $$q$$ , and $$r$$ . These parameters abide by $$p$$ , $$q\ge 1$$ and $$r$$ as the least common multiple of $$p$$ and $$q$$ . We establish operational laws for $$p,q,r-$$ FFSs. Based on these operational laws, we proposed a series of aggregation operators (AOs) to aggregate the information in context of $$p,q,r-$$ fractional fuzzy numbers. Furthermore, we constructed a novel multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) method to deal with real-world decision-making problems. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the proposed approach.

This paper is on the waveform design of joint radar and communication systems. Focusing on permutation code based random stepped frequency waveforms, we present a new joint radar and communication system that has improved communication error rate performance when compared to existing approaches. More specifically, we propose a subset selection process to improve the Hamming distance between communication waveforms. An efficient encoding scheme is proposed to map the information symbols to selected permutations. Further, an optimal communication receiver based on integer programming followed by a more efficient sub-optimal receiver based on the Hungarian algorithm is also proposed. Considering the optimum maximum likelihood detection, the block error probability is analyzed under both additive white Gaussian noise channels and Rician fading channels. Finally, we discuss the radar performance under the new system and highlight that it has negligible effect on the radar local and global accuracy.
Parallel-beam X-ray computed tomography (CT) and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) are two imaging modalities which stem from completely different underlying physics, and for decades have been thought to have litt...

Ridesharing services have revolutionized transportation, transforming the manner in which individuals navigate urban environments. The estimation of ride-sharing demand is crucial for enhancing service utilization, reliability, and mitigating traffic congestion. In this research, we employ spatial and spatiotemporal Bayesian models to estimate ride-sharing demand in the 77 Chicago community areas. We investigate various explanatory variables, including demographic, socio-economic, transportation, and land-use features. The Bayesian models adjust for random and structured errors to account for spatial correlations. Additionally, we utilize spatially correlated priors for explanatory variables to improve model precision. Model diagnostics demonstrate the absence of residual spatial structure in the spatial regression, confirming effective management of spatial correlation. The spatiotemporal model yields a squared correlation of 0.95 between observed ride-shares and fitted values, indicating robust predictive power. Demographic factors, including population size and crime rate, emerge as the primary determinants positively influencing ride-sharing demand. Higher income levels, increased numbers of economically active citizens, and higher proportions of car-free households are associated with increased demand. Public transit availability and walkability also play significant roles in ride-sharing patterns in Chicago. Our study demonstrates that ride-sharing demand recovered in 2022 following COVID-19-related closures, particularly during weekends. This research provides planners and policymakers with insights to enhance first and last mile services, identify underserved areas, and enable ride-sharing to address public transportation gaps. Such knowledge has the potential to enhance mobility for individuals with disabilities and those residing in rural areas. This study, utilizing Bayesian models, offers deeper insights into ridesharing demand, thereby contributing to i

Exploring various phenomena and issues related to leaf images is paramount, particularly in segmentation and classification of such images. This study employs bibliometric analysis to delve into two overarching themes: the trends in publication and the evolution of publications, along with a keyword-based analysis. The research methodology unfolds in two stages: (1) data collection and (2) analysis. The dataset comprises 1,248 articles sourced from the Scopus database, covering the period from 1988 to 2023. The research findings unveil a noteworthy surge in publication trends, peaking at 231 documents in 2023. An in-depth examination of journal names demonstrates that studies on the segmentation and classification of leaf images are predominantly featured in computer science journals, exemplified by the publication of 589 documents. Furthermore, an analysis of frequently used keywords highlights “Extraction” as the predominant term, employed a total of 364 times. This underscores that the research focus on leaf image segmentation and classification presents ample opportunities for researchers to delve more profoundly into the subject.
