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

The detailed data of the Vp/Vs ratio and porosity logs were used to detect the Oil-Water Contact Zone (OWCZ) of Nahr Umr sandstone and Mishrif limestone reservoir formations in Kumiat (Kt) and Dujaila (Du) oil fields, southeastern Iraq. The results of OWC were confirmed using P-wave, Resistivity, and Water Saturation (Sw) logs of Kt-1 and Du-1 wells. It was found that the values of the oil-water contact zone thickness in Nahr Umr sandstone and Mishrif limestone were approximately one meter and eight meters, respectively. These results suggest that the OWCZ is possibly thicker in the carbonate rock than clastic rock formations. The thickness of OWCZ in the clastic rocks changed from one part to another, depending on several factors includ
