Site Selection for an Offshore Wind Power Station Under a Fuzzy Environment

The Malaysian government’s support for offshore wind power production has led to an increase in a few proposals. An important factor in the overall efficiency of any offshore wind farm is the site selection process, which is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) task. However, classical MCDM techniques often fail to choose a suitable site because of three main challenges. First, compensation is regarded as a problem in the processing of information. Second, data usage and data leakage are often ignored in the decision-making process. Third, interaction difficulty in fuzzy environments is easily ignored. This study provides a framework for making site selection decisions for offshore wind farms while addressing the constraints. Fuzzy VIKOR is used in the second stage of the AHP process to analyze the site’s results with respect to evaluation criteria for offshore wind farms. A comprehensive index system, which incorporates the veto criteria and evaluation criteria for selecting offshore wind power station sites, is devised. Then, the system is used to transmit imprecise information to decision makers by using a triangular fuzzy set. Likelihood-based valued comparisons indicate that imprecise choice information can be correctly used, and issues of information loss can be logically avoided. A case study of Malaysia is used to demonstrate the validity and practicality of the site selection technique. This research offers a theoretical basis for accurate offshore wind power evaluation in Malaysia.

Determination of the Association of Qualitative Variables Related to Juvenile Delinquency Factors

The present study describes the main associations between the occurrence of crimes of robbery, homicide, assault, and vandalism in the face of exposure to risk factors for juvenile delinquency, according to the literature consulted. For this, expert knowledge is processed through the AHP multi-criteria decision method and statistical analysis for data validation. A random selection of 350 files of minors under 21 years of age processed during the year 2021 for causes attributable to homicide, robbery, property damage, and assault was carried out, as well as a bibliographic review to determine the study variables to be analyzed. It was observed that drug consumption is associated with the occurrence of vandalism, homicides, and robberies. Likewise, a statistically significant association was observed between belonging to criminal gangs and the occurrence of vandalism and robbery. The analysis carried out revealed the existence of significant relationships in terms of exposure to violent housing environments and the performance of robbery, vandalism, and assault in the young defendants. It was possible to observe the existence of a certain degree of association between child abuse and the occurrence of robbery and assault.

Procedure for the Selection of a Smart Contracting System in the Legal Field

Blockchain technology has put in the hands of humanity the solution to many practical problems that are present today in various organizations. Smart contracts are part of the improvements that were introduced from the use of this technology and were widely accepted by users in general. Various applications are included in the development of this type of platform, which has reached the legal field as a solution to the current problems of Contract Law. The selection of the best alternative, when hiring its implementation, leads to not making optimal use of resources during the process. That is why the main objective of the research was focused on designing and implementing a procedure, in the form of an exercise, for the selection of a smart contracting system in the legal field. In its fulfillment, the authors had the support of a heterogeneous group of experts in the field who determined the factors for their selection and their respective weight through the Kendall concordance method. Subsequently, the use of these factors in the VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromiso Resenje) method made it possible to determine the best alternative to hire.

Ecuadorian Migration Policy Analyzed from International Causality

The migration issue has been an inseparable part of the international scene since the beginning of the Third Millennium, together with its possibilities for transformation and development. If the regional, national, governmental, and civil society agendas are observed, they all have approaches to the issue of international migration. States have the right to regulate movements across their borders; international cooperation aimed at reducing irregular migration contemplates both a punitive aspect related to law enforcement and a protection and human rights approach. Ecuador is one of the few countries that has the dual quality of sending and receiving migrants. Added to this situation is the reception of displaced persons from other nations, a different but complementary phenomenon to migration, which has made it the first country of refuge in Latin America and lately the country of transit. Based on the analysis through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) multicriteria decision method, it is intended to evaluate the causes of international migration, and focus them on the current context of Ecuador, in the study of an adequate migration policy.

Main types of computer crimes existing in Ecuador

The introduction and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have meant a vertiginous leap in scientific-technical development on a global scale, they have become an indispensable element in all facets of society. Without a doubt, the use of the Internet makes life easier for users, but those benefits become dangerous when unscrupulous people silently infiltrate to damage not only technical equipment but also the finances of individuals, companies, and governments. The objective of the investigation is to determine the main types of computer crimes existing in Ecuador, as well as the possible solutions to avoid them. Different research techniques and methods were studied, such as synthetic analytical, inductive deductive, logical historical, as well as the descriptive method, interviews, and surveys in the same way that tools such as descriptive surveys and referential research were used. To fulfill the proposed objective, the AHP Saaty and Vikor multicriteria methods were used, where the crimes with the highest probability of occurring in the country and the best techniques to combat them were obtained as conclusions.

A Creative Approach on Bipolar Neutrosophic Nano Topology

In this article, Bipolar neutrosophic nano topology is introduced and some of its properties are studied. We found that, it is difficult to find a nano topology for every bipolar neutrosophic set. So we introduced a bipolar neutrosophic nano  topology, which is a generalization of bipolar neutrosophic nano topology and its fundamental features are investigated with appropriate examples. This approach is used for real life multi criteria decision making situations. The practical problems may be solved by finding CORE values through the criterion reduction.One can apply the basis of the bipolar neutrosophic nano  topology as the key factors of  a particular decision making problem using topological reduction of attributes in complete or incomplete information system.

Using Social Media Data To Forecast Telecom Companies Revenues With Machine Learning

Traditional models for predicting future sales of a product or service are based on previous, not updated data, resulting in unsatisfactory and inaccurate forecasting results, meaning that the data used as inputs to the forecasting process is stable and not dynamic during the forecasting process.The research aims to leverage social media data by extracting features from Facebook platform (features are reactions to posts) and using them as input to the automated forecasting system to try to predict corporate revenues.Machine learning algorithms have been trained to predict returns according to pre-stored data and can be updated on demand, which means that the proposed forecasting system will work in a dynamic environment.The following algorithms were used to predict the profitability of new services and the one with the highest accuracy was selected: (Random Forest, DT, Gradient Boosting, K nearest neighbors, NB).The results showed that Random Forest algorithm is the one with the best accuracy, with an accuracy of 67%, and a slight correlation was observed between the interactions on the target post and the profitability of the service within the post.

Remark on Recent Experimental Findings supporting Smarandache’s Quantum Sorites Paradoxes, Superluminal Hypothesis, and SubQuantum Kinetic Model of Electron

Statement of the Problem: Smarandache Hypothesis states that there is no speed limit of anything, including light and particles. While the idea is quite simple and based on known hypothesis of quantum mechanics, called Einstein-Podolski-Rosen (EPR) paradox, in reality such a superluminal physics seems still hard to accept by majority of physicists. Here we review some experiments to support superluminal physics and also findings to explain Smarandache Quantum Paradoxes and Quantum Sorites Paradox. We also touch briefly on new experiment on magneton, supporting SubQuantum Kinetic Model of Electron. Aim of this paper: We discuss some experimental results which  will likely open new directions of research toward evidence-based physics.Conclusion & Significance: Multiexperimental findings assessment allows one to verify conjectures by Florentin Smarandache & RNB, namely: Smarandache Hypothesis, Smarandache Quantum Sorites Paradoxes and SubQuantum Kinetic Model of Electron.

Remark on creation and dis-creation processes related to origination of charge and matter

The ubiquitous creation process of the electron-positron pairs is brought out as being due to resonant von Karman vortex streets caused by local aether flows, as related to the Kelvin-Helmholtz vortex model of the electron and positron from fluid dynamics. The origination of electric charge is discussed as being caused by the bending and slowing of infinite velocity vortex lines, where electrons and positrons exhibit continuous charge because vortex lines are captured,  always bent away from a perfectly straight line, and constantly circulate internal to these particles. The ubiquitous dis-creation (dissociation) of atomic matter due to gamma ray resonance with the given atom, can be controlled, and can produce any manner of force desired, arising from the vicinity of the atomic dissociation site. Both processes, creation and dis-creation, can produce excess electrical energy, so we think these investigations are valuable, in this regard. As these useful matter creation processes are more deeply investigated and new technologies arise from these studies, we will be able to make any amount of any kinds of atoms we like. We will also will be able to make "designer atoms" which will have physical properties, as desired by us, perfectly suited for the selected application
