Abstract Tourism trails connect destinations, points of interest, and travel-related businesses. By enhancing connectivity, these trails reduce travel time, allowing tourists to maximize their exploration of sites, leading to more efficient and satisfying travel experiences. The rising popularity of e-scooters in urban areas has highlighted the need to identify safe and accessible routes, particularly in cities where safety concerns have led to restrictions. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) and Geographic Information System (GIS) network analysis can be employed to determine optimal paths by considering multiple criteria. This study focuses on finding an optimal street art trail for… More >

Abstract Due to the numerous variables to take into account as well as the inherent ambiguity and uncertainty, evaluating educational institutions can be difficult. The concept of a possibility Pythagorean fuzzy hypersoft set (pPyFHSS) is more flexible in this regard than other theoretical fuzzy set-like models, even though some attempts have been made in the literature to address such uncertainties. This study investigates the elementary notions of pPyFHSS including its set-theoretic operations union, intersection, complement, OR- and AND-operations. Some results related to these operations are also modified for pPyFHSS. Additionally, the similarity measures between pPyFHSSs are More >

Abstract Substation siting is an important foundation and a key task in power system planning. The article is based on a three-dimensional GIS platform combined with an improved BP neural network algorithm and proposes a substation siting method that is more efficient, accurate and provides a better user experience. Firstly, the BP algorithm is enhanced to improve its convergence speed and computational efficiency for a more accurate and reasonable calculation of optimal site selection. Then, a 24-item selection index system with 7 categories is proposed, which provides quantifiable data support and an evaluation basis for substation… More >

Abstract In today’s world of massive data and interconnected networks, it’s crucial to burgeon a secure and efficient digital watermarking method to protect the copyrights of digital content. Existing research primarily focuses on deep learning-based approaches to improve the quality of watermarked images, but they have some flaws. To overcome this, the deep learning digital image watermarking model with highly secure algorithms is proposed to secure the digital image. Recently, quantum logistic maps, which combine the concept of quantum computing with traditional techniques, have been considered a niche and promising area of research that has attracted… More >

Abstract In this paper, we propose a novel secure image communication system that integrates quantum key distribution and hyperchaotic encryption techniques to ensure enhanced security for both key distribution and plaintext encryption. Specifically, we leverage the B92 Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol to secure the distribution of encryption keys, which are further processed through Galois Field (GF(2⁸)) operations for increased security. The encrypted plaintext is secured using a newly developed Hyper 3D Logistic Map (H3LM), a chaotic system that generates complex and unpredictable sequences, thereby ensuring strong confusion and diffusion in the encryption process. This hybrid approach More >

Abstract Integration of solar-driven interfacial evaporation and photocatalysis is one of the most promising technologies for generating fresh water and removing pollutants. In this work, TiO₂/g-C₃N₄ photocatalysis is loaded on a hydrogel containing single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT). Due to the excellent water evaporation channel of hydrogel and the excellent photothermal conversion performance of SWCNT, as well as the good visible light absorption ability of TiO₂/g-C₃N₄, TiO₂/g-C₃N₄/SWCNT hydrogel exhibits good hydrothermal evaporation and photocatalytic activity. The optimum water evaporation rate of 1.43 kg m⁻² h⁻¹. In particular, the optimized TiO₂/g-C₃N₄/SWCNT hydrogel can also remove more than 90% methylene blue (MB) More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The impact of World War II on the physical landscape of British towns and cities as a result of airborne assault is well known. However, less newsworthy but arguably no less significant is the impact of the war on agriculture and the countryside, especially in South-East England. This paper outlines the building of an historical Geographical Information System (GIS) from different data sources including the National Farm Survey (NFS), Luftwaffe and Royal Air Force (RAF) aerial photographs and basic topographic mapping for the South Downs in East and West Sussex. It explores the impact and… More >

Abstract Drought stress negatively impacts agricultural crop yields. By using mineral fertilizers and chemical regulators to encourage plant development and growth, its impact can be mitigated. The current study revealed that exogenous silicon (Si) (potassium silicate; K₂Si₂O₅ at 1000 ppm) and molybdenum (Mo) (ammonium molybdate; (NH₄)₆Mo₇O₂4•4H₂O at 100 ppm) improved drought tolerance in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd). The research was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three biological replicates. The treatments comprised T0 (control, water spray), T4 (drought stress), and T1, T2, T3, T5, T6, and T7, i.e., foliar applications of silicon and molybdenum solutions individually… More >

Abstract The main purpose of this work is to propose a methodology that considers the multicriteria and multi-actor aspects for assessing land suitability for agriculture. This involves offering a group spatial decision-making approach. The members of a multidisciplinary team can decide on the relative importance of the criteria and the ranking of alternatives. Each member provides his judgment and contributes in a distinct and identifiable manner to find a compromise solution. Twelve criteria (easily available water reserve, cation exchange capacity, electric conductivity, potential of hydrogen (pH), drainage, permeability, active limestone, soil texture, soil useful depth, slopes,… More >
