Road traffic accidents (RTAs) pose a significant hazard to the security of the general public, especially in developing nations. A daily average of more than three thousand fatalities is recorded worldwide, rating it as the second most prevalent cause of death among people aged 5-29. Precise and reliable decisionmaking techniques are essential for identifying the most effective approach to mitigate road traffic incidents. This research endeavors to investigate this specific concern. The Fermatean fuzzy set (FFS) is a strong and efficient method for addressing ambiguity, particularly when the concept of Pythagorean fuzzy set fails to provide a solution. This research presents two innovative aggregation operators: the Fermatean fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (FFOWA) operator and the Fermatean fuzzy dynamic ordered weighted geometric (FFOWG) operator. The salient characteristics of these operators are discussed and important exceptional scenarios are thoroughly delineated. Furthermore, by implementing the suggested operators, we develop a systematic approach to handle multiple attribute decisionmaking (MADM) scenarios that involve Fermatean fuzzy (FF) data. In order to show the viability of the developed method, we provide a numerical illustration encompassing the determination of the most effective approach to alleviate road traffic accidents. Lastly, we conduct a comparative evaluation of the proposed approach in relation to a number of established methodologies.

The concept of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets is intellectually stimulating and holds significant utility in the representation and analysis of real-world problems. The development of similarity measures within the class of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets possesses significant importance across various academic disciplines, particularly in the fields of decision-making and pattern recognition. The utilization of similarity measures is of utmost importance in the decision-making process when implementing interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. This is due to its inherent capability to quantitatively assess the level of resemblance or similarity between two interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. In this article, the drawbacks of the existing similarity measures in the context of an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment are addressed, and a novel similarity measure is presented. Many fundamental properties of this new interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy similarity measure are also established, and the effectiveness of this similarity measure is illustrated by presenting a useful example. Moreover, a comparison is given to demonstrate the validity of the newly proposed similarity measure within the existing knowledge of similarity measures in the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment. In addition, an algorithm is designed to solve multi-criteria decision making problems by means of the proposed measure in the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy setting. Furthermore, this newly defined similarity measure is successfully applied to select an optimal renewable energy source to reduce energy crises. Finally, we conduct a comparative study to showcase the authenticity of the recently defined technique within the existing knowledge of similarity measures in the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy environment.

We consider the Casson hybrid nanofluid (HN) (ZnO + Ag/Casson fluid) that flows steadily along a two-directional stretchable sheet under the influence of an applied changing magnetic flux and is electrically conducting. The basic Casson and Cattaneo-Christov double diffusion (CCDD) formulations are used for the simulation of the problem. This is the first study on the analysis of the Casson hybrid nanofluid by using the CCDD model. The use of these models generalize basic Fick's and Fourier's laws. The current produced due to the magnetic parameter is taken into consideration by using the generalized Oham law. The problem is formulated and then transformed to a coupled set of ordinary differential equations. The simplified set of equations is solved using the homotopy analysis method. The obtained results are presented through tables and graphs for various state variables. A comparative survey in all the graphs is presented for the nanofluid (ZnO/Casson fluid) with the HN (ZnO + Ag/Casson fluid). These graphs depict the effect of various pertinent parameters, like Pr, M, Sc, γ, Nt, m, Nb, δ1, and δ2, varying values over the flow. The Hall current parameter m and stretching ratio parameter γ show increasing trends for the velocity gradient, while the magnetic parameter and the flux of mass depict opposite trends for the same profile. The increasing values of the relaxation coefficients show an opposite trend. Furthermore, the ZnO + Ag/Casson fluid shows a good performance in the transfer of heat and thus can be used for cooling purposes to increase the efficiency of the system.

Recently, the concept of the internet of things and its services has emerged with cloud computing. Cloud computing is a modern technology for dealing with big data to perform specified operations. The cloud addresses the problem of selecting and placing iterations across nodes in fog computing. Previous studies focused on original swarm intelligent and mathematical models; thus, we proposed a novel hybrid method based on two modern metaheuristic algorithms. This paper combined the Aquila Optimizer (AO) algorithm with the elephant herding optimization (EHO) for solving dynamic data replication problems in the fog computing environment. In the proposed method, we present a set of objectives that determine data transmission paths, choose the least cost path, reduce network bottlenecks, bandwidth, balance, and speed data transfer rates between nodes in cloud computing. A hybrid method, AOEHO, addresses the optimal and least expensive path, determines the best replication via cloud computing, and determines optimal nodes to select and place data replication near users. Moreover, we developed a multi-objective optimization based on the proposed AOEHO to decrease the bandwidth and enhance load balancing and cloud throughput. The proposed method is evaluated based on data replication using seven criteria. These criteria are data replication access, distance, costs, availability, SBER, popularity, and the Floyd algorithm. The experimental results show the superiority of the proposed AOEHO strategy performance over other algorithms, such as bandwidth, distance, load balancing, data transmission, and least cost path.

In order to understand the characteristics of bio-convection and moving microorganisms in flows of magnetized Walters-B nano-liquid, we developed a model employing Riga plate with stretchy sheet. The Buongiorno phenomenon is likewise employed to describe nano-liquid motion in the Walters-B fluid. Expending correspondence transformations, the partial differential equation (PDE) control system has been transformed into an ordinary differential equation (ODE) control system. The COMSOL program is used to generate mathematical answers for non-linear equations by employing the Galerkin finite element strategy (G-FEM). Utilizing logical and graphical metrics, temperature, velocity, and microbe analysis are all studied. Various estimates of well-known physical features are taken into account while calculating nanoparticle concentrations. It is demonstrated that this model's computations directly relate the temperature field to the current Biot number and parameter of the Walters-B fluid. The temperature field is increased to increase the approximations of the current Biot number and parameter of the Walters-B fluid.

The significance of nanoparticle aggregation, Lorentz and Coriolis forces on the dynamics of spinning silver nanofluid flow past a continuously stretched surface is prime significance in modern technology, material sciences, electronics, and heat exchangers. To improve nanoparticles stability, the gyrotactic microorganisms is consider to maintain the stability and avoid possible sedimentation. The goal of this report is to propose a model of nanoparticles aggregation characteristics, which is responsible to effectively state the nanofluid viscosity and thermal conductivity. The implementation of the similarity transforQ1m to a mathematical model relying on normal conservation principles yields a related set of partial differential equations. A well-known computational scheme the FEM is employed to resolve the partial equations implemented in MATLAB. It is seen that when the effect of nanoparticles aggregation is considered, the temperature distribution is enhanced because of aggregation, but the magnitude of velocities is lower. Thus, showing the significance impact of aggregates as well as demonstrating themselves as helpful theoretical tool in future bioengineering and industrial applications.

In this study, we propose a general method for tackling the Pickup and Drop-off Problem (PDP) using Hybrid Pointer Networks (HPNs) and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). Our aim is to reduce the overall tour length traveled by an agent while remaining within the truck's capacity restrictions and adhering to the node-to-node relationship. In such instances, the agent does not allow any drop-off points to be serviced if the truck is empty; conversely, if the vehicle is full, the agent does not allow any products to be picked up from pickup points. In our approach, this challenge is solved using machine learning-based models. Using HPNs as our primary model allows us to gain insight and tackle more complicated node interactions, which simplified our objective to obtaining state-of-art outcomes. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed neural network, as we achieve the state-of-art results for this problem as compared with the existing models. We deal with two types of demand patterns in a single type commodity problem. In the first pattern, all demands are assumed to sum up to zero (i.e., we have an equal number of backup and drop-off items). In the second pattern, we have an unequal number of backup and drop-off items, which is close to practical application, such as bike sharing system rebalancing. Our data, models, and code are publicly available at Solving Pickup and Dropoff Problem Using Hybrid Pointer Networks with Deep Reinforcement Learning.

Hypersoft set is a novel area of interest which is able to tackle the real-world scenarios where classification of parameters into their respective sub-parametric values in the form of overlapping sets is mandatory. It employs a new approximate mapping which considers such sets in the form of sub-parametric tuples as its domain. The existing soft set-like structures are insufficient to tackle such kind of situations. This research intends to establish a novel concept of parameterization of fuzzy set under hypersoft set environment with uncertain components of intuitionistic fuzzy set and neutrosophic set. Two novel structures, i.e., fuzzy parameterized intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft set (fpifhs-set) and fuzzy parameterized neutrosophic hypersoft set (fpnhs-set), are developed by employing algebraic techniques like theoretic, analytical, pictorial, and algorithmic techniques. After characterizing the elementary properties and set-theoretic operations of fpifhs-set and fpnhs-set, two novel algorithms are proposed to solve real-life decision-making COVID-19 problem. The results of both algorithms are compared with related already established models through certain evaluating features to judge the advantageous aspects of the proposed study. The generalization of the proposed models is discussed by describing some of their particular cases.
