Abstract Solid gold usually holds face-centered-cubic structure and relatively low strength of 102 MPa. When the dimension is reduced to the nanoscale, the strength of metal should increase accordingly, due to size effect or complex nanostructures [1-3]. However, reported maximum strength in gold nanostructures is yet considerably lower than the ideal strength (~6 GPa), referring to the stress at elastic instability in a defectfree crystal with infinite dimensions [3-5]. Herein, the ideal strength of gold is experimentally achieved in a quasi-two-dimensional defect-free single crystalline nanosheet with hexagonal-close-packed (HCP) structure. Ultrathin gold nanosheets with a high aspect… More >

Abstract In previous research on two-sided matching (TSM) decision, agents’ preferences were often given in the form of exact values of ordinal numbers and linguistic phrase term sets. Nowdays, the matching agent cannot perform the exact evaluation in the TSM situations due to the great fuzziness of human thought and the complexity of reality. Probability hesitant fuzzy sets, however, have grown in popularity due to their advantages in communicating complex information. Therefore, this paper develops a TSM decision-making approach with multi-attribute probability hesitant fuzzy sets and unknown attribute weight information. The agent attribute weight vector should… More >

Abstract The theory of rough set represents a non-statistical methodology for analyzing ambiguity and imprecise information. It can be characterized by two crisp sets, named the upper and lower approximations that are used to determine the boundary region and accurate measure of any subset. This article endeavors to achieve the best approximation and the highest accuracy degree by using the minimal structure approximation space via ideal . The novel approach (indicated by ) modifies the approximation space to diminish the boundary region and enhance the measure of accuracy. The suggested method is more accurate than Pawlak’s More >

Abstract The ideas of ambiguous bipolar skepticism under algebra and closed skepticism ambiguous bipolar ideals and related features have been developed. The fuzzy measure ideal is described in terms of bipolar ambiguous measure algebra and bipolar skepticism, and the linkages between bipolar fuzzy measure algebra are determined. A bipolar misty ideal’s skepticism is examined. In BCW and BCL-measure algebra, homogeneous ideas and dubious pictures of fuzzy bipolar measure ideas are examined. Also, we gave the relationship between these concepts. Finally, it is given the perfect terms for an occult bipolar doubt to be a measure of ideal More >

Abstract Background: To compare the differential diagnostic value of iterative decomposition of water and fat with the echo asymmetrical and least-squares estimation quantitation sequence (IDEAL-IQ) with that of intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM DWI) in differentiating between alpha fetoprotein (AFP)-negative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH). Materials and Methods: A total of 28 AFP-negative HCC cases and 15 FNH cases were scanned using the IDEAL-IQ and IVIM-DWI magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols. Two radiologists independently assessed the fat fraction (FF) and the iron level surrogate (R2*) derived from the IDEAL-IQ images and the apparent diffusion… More >

Abstract Many businesses have experienced difficulties in selecting a cloud service provider (CSP) due to the rapid advancement of cloud computing services and the proliferation of CSPs. Many independent criteria should be considered when evaluating the services provided by different CSPs. It is a case of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). This paper presents an integrated MCDM cloud service selection framework for determining the most appropriate service provider based on the best only method (BOM) and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). To obtain the weights of criteria and the relative importance of… More >

Abstract In general, ordered algebraic structures, particularly ordered semigroups, play an important role in fuzzification in many applied areas, such as computer science, formal languages, coding theory, error correction, etc. Nowadays, the concept of ambiguity is important in dealing with a variety of issues related to engineering modeling problems, network theory, decision-making problems in real-life situations, and so on. Several theories have been developed by various researchers to overcome the difficulties that arise from uncertainty, including fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, probability, soft sets, neutrosophic sets, and many more. In this paper, we focus solely on More >

Abstract In any closed environment considered, it can be seen that the acoustic parameters are inherently not constant over the entire area considered. In a closed environment, it is ideally preferred to maintain the acoustic parameters as constant so that there exists better quality of sound leading to better auditory perception with respect to the audience. Practically, some of the acoustic parameters like reverberation time and clarity do not strictly pertain to the pattern obtained theoretically. In this paper, simulations are carried out using I-SIMPA under different values of Sound Transmission Class (STC), source position, distribution More >

Abstract A new method of robust damper design is presented for elastic-plastic multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) building structures under multi-level ground motions (GMs). This method realizes a design that is effective for various levels of GMs. The robustness of a design is measured by an incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) curve and an ideal drift response curve (IDRC). The IDRC is a plot of the optimized maximum deformation under a constraint on the total damper quantity vs. the design level of the GMs. The total damper quantity corresponds to the total cost of the added dampers. First, a problem… More >

Abstract In order to improve the surgical treatment of the congenital heart disease patient with single ventricle defect, two axial flow blood pumps, one with diffuser and the other without diffuser, were designed and virtually implanted into an idealized total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) model to form two types of Pump-TCPC physiological structure. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed to analyze the variations of the hemodynamic characteristics, such as flow field, wall shear stress (WSS), oscillatory shear index (OSI), relative residence time (RRT), between the two Pump-TCPC models. Numerical results indicate that the Pump-TCPC with diffuser More >
