Incorporating Neutrosophic Uncertainty In Data Envelopment Analysis, A. Almutairi, Hamiden Abd El-Wahed Khalifa, Basma E. El-Demerdash

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

In the realm of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the assessment of relative efficiency has historically relied on deterministic variables. Yet, real-world data often presents diverse uncertainties, including a neutrosophic nature, which can significantly impact the accuracy and reliability of DEA outcomes. Therefore, the current paper proposes a new DEA model entirely to address this issue and in new DEA model designed to address this issue, preexisting approaches that fall short due to the inability to address neutrosophic uncertainty, which can be commonly found in actual data, to enhance efficiency evaluation precision. This paper introduces the new DEA model to show …

Combining Two Auxiliary Variables For Elevated Estimation Of Finite Population Mean Under Neutrosophic Framework, Poonam Singh, Sooraj Gupta

Solving The Shortest Path Problem In An Interval-Valued Neutrosophic Pythagorean Environment Using An Enhanced A* Search Algorithm, Prasanta Kumar Raut, Sakya Singh Satapathy, Siva Prasad Behera, Said Broumi, Ajay Kumar Sahoo

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The A* search algorithm is widely utilized to evaluate the shortest path in a given network. However, in a traditional A* search algorithm, the nodes are assumed to have crisp values, i.e., a single value. This assumption may not hold in many real-world scenarios where uncertainty or ambiguity is involved. In such cases, an interval-valued Neutrosophic Pythagorean (IVNP) environment can provide a more sound and accurate representation. Interval-valued Neutrosophic Pythagorean sets (IVNPS) are an effective way to model vague and imprecise data, which is prevalent in executive problems. These sets provide a more flexible way to capture uncertainty by allowing …

Examination Of Musical Sophistication And Working Memory Correlates In High School Students, Abby South

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between musical engagement and cognitive ability in high school students. While musicians’ brains have long been of interest to those who study experience-dependent neuroplasticity, a lack of adolescent data grossly limits our understanding of the relationship between music training and observed neuroplastic changes in the brain. Advances in psychometric testing and brain imaging reveal relationships among musical expertise, changes in brain function, structure, and connectivity, and enhanced cognitive ability, but categorical groupings of dichotomously defined musicians and non-musicians prevent nuanced understanding of these complex relationships. In this study, 83 …

Effect Of Propiconazole And Tebuconazole On Seed Production Of Tall Fescue, M D. Hare

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

When stem rust (Puccinia graminis Persoon) invaded a tall fescue (Festuca arrundinacea Schreb.) stand a fungicide, propiconazole, applied at 250 g ai/ha, increased seed yields by more than l000 kg/ha compared with untreated plots. Propiconazole applied at ear emergence increased seed yields more than when applied at anthesis or at both times. Propiconazole significantly (P<0.05) increased seeds/spikelet and reduced leaf senescence during seed development and at harvest compared with untreated plots. Stem rust (Puccitiia graminis Persoon) severely infected the control plots but not the plots treated with propiconazole at ear emergence. In a second trial, when only a minor trace of stem rust was observed, propiconazole and tebuconazole did not affect seed yields of tall fescue.

Grasslands Roa) at l and 2 kg ai/ha at spikelet initiation (SI) and floret initiation (Fl) in 1985. Paclobutrazol at 2 kg ·ai/ha, applied at both SJ and FI, increased P(<0.05) seed yields but the lower paclobutr z I rate and flurprimidol had no significant effect on seed yields.

Effect Of Boron And Nitrogen Application On Seed Production Of Lotus Uliginsus, M D. Hare, R A. Carran

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

Four rates or boron (B) and 2 rates of nitrogen (N) were applied to a mature stand of lotus 11ligi11os11s Schk. cv. Grasslands Maku before flowering, on 10 November 1988. The 2 rntes of N (40 and 80 kg N/ ha) were either applied once or applied at 5 and 10 kg N/ha respectively, at weekly intervals for 8 weeks. N did not increase seed yields. Weekly applications of N significantly (P<0.05) decreased seed yields by 28%. B at 0.91 kg/ha increased seed yields by 7% but this increase was not significant. While seed yields in some tropical legumes may benefit from N application, Grasslands Maku does not benefit. Rather, seed yields are depressed. The application of B did not significantly change seed yields, but more research on B may be needed in areas where B availability is thought to be low.
