Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The evaluation and selection of strategies for real estate tax collection using neutrosophic cognitive maps (NCM) represents an innovative approach in urban fiscal management. This method combines elements of neutrosophic theory with cognitive evaluation techniques, allowing public administrators and urban planners to analyze the effectiveness of various fiscal tactics in complex and variable environments. NCMs facilitate a more accurate evaluation by considering not only numerical data, but also subjective perceptions and opinions of the stakeholders involved, such as owners, developers, and residents. This comprehensive approach not only optimizes efficiency in tax collection, but also promotes greater transparency and legitimacy in …

Advancing Influence In Social Networks Based On Game Theory, Adedamola Adesokan

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

Online Social Networks (OSNs) have become part of our everyday life, as a means of interacting with people, sharing content, attending events, etc. Influencers are professional OSN users, who have a large loyal audience and use the OSNs to market various goods or services based on brand partnerships. In this thesis, we introduce a novel mechanism to enable OSN users to become influencers by strategically deciding their activity within the OSN. Initially, the concepts of social coordinates and social communities are proposed. Then, a non-cooperative game is introduced to enable the users to make optimal decisions regarding their activity in …

Working With Bilingual Populations: Clinical Practices Of Speech-Language Pathologists In New Mexico, Wylie L. Skillman

Speech and Hearing Sciences ETDs

New Mexico is uniquely positioned as a state that has more bilingual speakers than the United States on average, meaning that Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) here are more likely to work with bilingual speakers than elsewhere. Best practices for bilingual evaluation and treatment are taught in graduate education for SLPs but the extent to which they are known and utilized by school-based SLPs differs based on many factors.

As the body of research supporting culturally responsive bilingual assessment and intervention continue to grow, it is unknown how or if clinicians are using this knowledge to assess and treat students who …

Determining The Cerebellum’S Functional Role In Adolescent Reward Processing, Teagan Mullins

Psychology ETDs

Cerebellar contributions to adolescent reward processing have not been explored in prior research, despite the fact that both reward processing and the cerebellum are undergoing significant maturation during this time. Reward processing in the cerebellum has been found in both adults and in animal models. However, given both maturational changes and a variety of reward related psychopathology that emerges during adolescence, reward processing in the cerebellum during adolescence may not mirror that of the cerebellum during adulthood and may shift over adolescence and be linked to psychopathology. This dissertation reviews the existing literature on cerebellar reward in adolescence (chapter one). …

Autism Spectrum Disorder And Menstruation Research Guide, Emily Roberts, Keely Lundy

Projects

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which is often called autism, can make it hard for people to communicate and interact with others and can cause repetitive behaviors and interests1. Girls, women, and other people who were assigned female at birth are commonly misdiagnosed, not diagnosed, or may be diagnosed later in life with autism because healthcare providers don’t know enough about how they show symptoms or how they “mask”, or hide their differences2 3 4 5. Because of this, many autistic people’s needs are unmet and unexamined.

One important need that isn't always met for autistic people who have periods, also …

Assessment Of Deep Learning Techniques For Bone Fracture Detection Under Neutrosophic Domain, Doaa El-Shahat, Ahmed Tolba

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

With the increasing strain on the health system, there is a growing need for automatic medical image diagnosis. Emerging technologies for medical diagnosis can help to achieve the goals of sustainable development. However, analyzing medical images can be challenging due to uncertain data, ambiguity, and impreciseness. To address this issue, we have developed a novel BoneNet-NS technique to classify fractures in X-ray bone images. The proposed approach is based on the power of deep learning (DL) and neutrosophic set (NS) to deal with aleatoric uncertainty. Moreover, we present two frameworks for integrating NS with DL models: BoneNet-NS1 and BoneNet-NS2. We …

A Robust Framework For Medical Diagnostics Based On Interval-Valued Q-Neutrosophic Soft Sets With Aggregation Operators, Enad Ghazi, Sinan O. Al-Salihi

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The best way to deal with complicated life scenarios that accompany the decision-making process is to update previous concepts constantly. Therefore, researchers must constantly discover powerful mathematical tools that suit the accompanying circumstances. In this regard, we combine both soft set, neutrosophic set, and interval setting under Q-two-dimensional universal information to introduce a new hybrid innovative model called interval valued-Q-neutrosophic soft sets. The core goal of this model is to keep the features of previous models like soft sets, neutrosophic sets, and Q-Fuzzy sets in dealing with the lack of uncertainty and neutrality associated with real-life issues. This new approach …

On Rough Statistical Convergence In Neutrosophic Normed Spaces, Reena Antal, Meenakshi Chawla, Vijay Kumar

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

In this paper, we have presented rough statistical convergence of sequence on neutrosophic normed spaces as an important convergence criterion. As neutrosophication can handle partially dependent compo nents, partially independent components and even independent components involved in real-world problems. By examining some properties related to rough convergence in these spaces we provide some useful functional tools in the situations of inconsistency and indeterminacy in the real world. Further, we have established some equivalent conditions on the set of statistical limit points as well as on the set of cluster points in these spaces for rough statistically convergent sequences.
