Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is used to estimate the principal components of the data, helping in selecting the features th

Water is a precious, essential, and dwindling resource in both developing and developed nations. As a vital nutrition for human beings, it easily takes the cake as the planet's most valuable natural resource. Various wastes, including municipal, industrial, agricultural (including pesticides and fertilizers), medical, etc., contribute to geo-environmental contamination and render water unfit for human or animal use. Therefore, it is crucial to establish effective means to automate water suitability checking. In this investigation, the variables included are pH, hardness, solids, chloramines, sulphate, conductivity, organic carbon, trihalomethanes, and turbidity. These measurements serve as a feature vector to represent the state of the w

The use of credit cards for online purchases has significantly increased in recent years, but it has also led to an increase in fraudulent activities that cost businesses and consumers billions of dollars annually. Detecting fraudulent transactions is crucial for protecting customers and maintaining the financial system's integrity. However, the number of fraudulent transactions is less than legitimate transactions, which can result in a data imbalance that affects classification performance and bias in the model evaluation results. This paper focuses on processing imbalanced data by proposing a new weighted oversampling method, wADASMO, to generate minor-class data (i.e., fraudulent transactions). The proposed method is based o

Fuzzy soft operator theory (FS-OT) is the connection between operator theory and fuzzy theory that has recently been raised and discussed, which has a central significant role in the evolution of functional analysis. In this sequel, a new general class of fuzzy soft operators on fuzzy soft Hilbert space (FS-H) are introduced, called fuzzy soft κ quasi-hyponormal operators. These operators are generalized fuzzy soft hyponormal operators. Then, a sufficiently equivalent major condition for these imposed operators called feature characterization is achieved. Besides, several interesting features of quasi-hyponormal operators are yielded along with other outcomes. Therefore, conditions concerning the achieving of those analytical features a

Contemporary developments have indicated an escalating demand for plant-derived pharmaceutical products. Apart from their economic value, the utilization of medicinal plants is believed to pose a considerably reduced risk of adverse effects when compared to the use of synthetic drugs. One of the approaches to determine the potential of a medicinal plant against biological diseases is the quest for novel medications using natural constituents. In this present investigation, we sought to determine the immunomodulatory and hepatoprotective properties of Hydnophytum formicarum in BALB/c mice. The study used 6-week-old healthy BALB/c mice. The treatment consisted of giving different doses of H. formicarum tuber extract. To o

The rapid expansion of the population is a significant factor in the quick transformation rate of land use and land cover (LULC) in various locations worldwide. This approach led to a substantial exhaustion of natural resources. Consequently, continuous monitoring of LULC alterations has become crucial for efficiently administering natural resources and assessing the consequences of climate change. Land cover change (LULC) is widely recognized as a significant driver of environmental change that can affect human activities. Evaluating LULC change is the most accurate approach to understanding past land use patterns, identifying changes that need assessment, and establishing their substantial influence on urban environmental planning and

This study proposed an integrated security system for electronic transactions, first specifying the type of e-banking request using the two-phase commit procedure (2PC). The idea of micro-segmentation was then used to isolate individual e-transaction processes in different segments; after this, every segment was controlled by a smart contract. The Yellow Saddle Goatfish Algorithm (YSGA) was employed to detect whether the smart contract conditions were met optimally. Finally, if the customer receives approval, a distinct hash records the entire transaction procedure in the blockchain's main ledger. In a simulation environment, the proposed system was tested, and the results were: 0.0031 ns as a time to detect the smart contract's terms, a

Landsat 5 (Thematic Mapper) and 8 (Operational Land) satellite images were used. They were classified using the NDVI index (Normalized  Difference Vegetation Index) to detect changes in vegetation and the NBI index (New Urbanism Index) to detect urban expansion using ArcMap 10.8. The results showed that the largest vegetation cover area was 77.69 km² in 2013, followed by 2023, which was 68.58 km2; then, in 2018, it was 68.36 km
