Note For Quadripartitioned Neutrosophic Offset, Pentapartitioned Neutrosophic Offset, And Heptapartitioned Neutrosophic Offset, Takaaki Fujita

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Neutrosophic sets assign each element three independent membership values—truth, indeterminacy, and falsity—and their partitioned extensions introduce additional components subject to sum-bounded constraints. Notable examples include quadripartitioned, pentapartitioned, and heptapartitioned neutrosophic sets. The O set concept further extends this framework by allowing membership values outside the standard [0, 1] interval, including negative values and values exceeding one. In this paper, we introduce and analyze the Quadripartitioned Neutrosophic O set, Pentapartitioned Neutrosophic O set, and Heptapartitioned Neutrosophic O set. These extensions are intended to enhance the expressiveness of neutrosophic theory and to stimulate further research in neutrosophic and fuzzy uncertainty.

Integrated Algorithm And Hardware Design For Hybrid Neuromorphic Systems, James Seekings, Mahsa Ardakani, Peyton Chandarana, Arshia Eslami, Mohammadreza Mohammadi, Ramtin Zand

Faculty Publications

This paper investigates the combined potential of neuromorphic and edge computing to develop a flexible machine learning (ML) system designed for processing data from dynamic vision sensors. We build and train hybrid models that integrate spiking neural networks (SNNs) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) using the PyTorch and Lava frameworks. We explore the effects of quantization on ANN models to assess its impact on both accuracy and energy efficiency. Additionally, we address the challenges of deploying hybrid models on hardware by implementing individual components on specific edge platforms. We also propose an accumulator circuit to bridge the spiking and non-spiking …

In this article, we used the case study of France to discuss the multi-sectoral value of these programs. The economic value of school meals in France amounts to €8.2 billion annually, of which 2.8 billion are dedicated to food purchases. Since 2022, the EGAlim and Climate and Resilience laws require canteens …

Work Extracting And Second Law-Like Inequalities From Non-Extensive Small Systems With Feedback, Mehdi Mirzaee, Saman Amiri

Turkish Journal of Physics

The Gibbs-Boltzmann entropy effectively characterizes systems with a significant reliance on initial conditions. Nonetheless, the majority of materials generally exhibit behavior that is independent of their initial conditions. Conversely, Tsallis entropy—a nonextensive entropy that underpins nonextensive statistical mechanics—provides a comprehensive framework for modeling systems that engage with their environment. In this study, we derive the Tsallis formulation of the Clausius inequality in a quantum context and establish an upper limit for the work that can be extracted from a small system within the framework of nonextensive quantum statistical mechanics. Furthermore, by utilizing a principle from quantum information theory—which posits that …

Predicting The Gravitational Lensing Magnification Of Quasars By The Roman Space Telescope, Esmeralda Guliqani, Lindita Hamolli, Mimoza Hafizi

Turkish Journal of Physics

In strong gravitational lensed quasars, the magnification of an image is significant for constraining various lens models. We predict the magnification of the lensed images in the case of double lensed quasars that are expected to be observed by the Roman Space Telescope. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we generate quasar-galaxy systems based on the mass-luminosity function of galaxies and the redshift distribution of both galaxies and quasars taken from observations. Utilizing the capabilities of the Roman Telescope, we calculate for the double lensed quasars their angular positions and their magnifications. We considered two models for the lensing galaxy: the singular …

Optomechanical Dynamics: Exploring Membrane Effects On Cavity Mode Frequencies, Mahmut Can Özuygur

Turkish Journal of Physics

Optomechanics is an emerging research topic that explores the mechanical effects of light. In this paper, we present an analytical study of the mode frequency perturbation in a three-dimensional Fabry Pérot cavity containing a partially transparent membrane. Our analysis reveals that the maximum effect of the membrane occurs when it is placed at an antinode, where the field is at its maximum. The effect is minimized when the membrane is placed at a node, where the field is at a minimum, corroborating earlier one dimensional ”dielectric bump model” calculations. In contrast to previous models, we consider the membrane’s f inite …

Computational Investigation Of The Structural And Electronic Effects Of Phenyl, Alkyl, And Halogen Fully Substituted Acenes, Emily A A Jarvis, Viraj Jain, Georgia Grace Tully, Peter W. Jarvis

Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Works

Acenes are a class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that may hold promise as organic semiconductors (OSCs) in solar cells and electronic devices. Their instability and poor solubility present challenges that may be improved by replacing the hydrogens with phenyl, halogen or alkyl substituents to sterically induce a helical twist to these otherwise planar molecules. This twisted structure also impacts the optical properties of these molecules. We employ time-dependent density functional theory (TD DFT) to investigate acenes spanning from naphthalene to heptacene. We focus on the structural and electronic effects of fully substituting these molecular backbones to create seven distinct substituent …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

A quantitative understanding of local transmission dynamics is essential for designing effective prevention strategies. In this study, we developed a computational workflow to identify viral introductions and trace locally circulating clusters. We analyzed over 26,000 SARS-CoV-2 genomes and their associated metadata, collected between January and October 2021, to explore introduction and local dispersal patterns in Greater Houston, a major metropolitan area known for its demographic diversity. Our analysis identified more than 1,000 independent introduction events, resulting in clusters of varying sizes. The majority of introductions originated from domestic sources, while international introductions occurred earlier and were associated with larger cluster …

Computational And Mathematical Modeling Of Microbial Community And Host Responses To Microbiota-Directed Complementary Foods Administered To Children With Acute Malnutrition., Steven J. Hartman

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

Globally, millions of children suffer from undernutrition, with stunting affecting 150 million and wasting nearly 50 million under five years old. Current interventions have shown limited effectiveness in mitigating long-term consequences such as stunted growth, cognitive deficits, and immune dysfunction. Through this body of work, I investigated the efficacy of a microbiota- directed complementary food (MDCF-2) as a next generation therapeutic food to combat childhood stunting. Across two randomized controlled trials involving Bangladeshi children with either moderate acute malnutrition or post-severe acute malnutrition, MDCF-2 significantly outperformed standard ready-to-use supplementary foods (RUSF), leading to significantly improved ponderal and sustained linear growth …

The Face Of Fluent Reading: Using Eye Tracking And Spectrographic Analysis Of Prosody To Predict Comprehension, Hannah Anderson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The purpose of the current study was to examine the contributions of oral and silent reading fluency to comprehension in grade four students (N = 192). Participants were administered grade-level CBM probes and i-Ready Diagnostic measures of comprehension. Eye movements, spectrographic measures of prosody, reading rate, and accuracy were extracted from the CBM readings. A two-factor measurement model was proposed, with an oral reading fluency factor and a silent reading fluency factor. Additionally, a mediation model was proposed to consider oral contributions to silent reading (and, subsequently, comprehension). Results instead supported a bifactor model, indicating a general reading fluency factor …

Quantified Possibility Neutrosophic Soft Set Based Decision Support System For Enhanced Accuracy In Sustainable Supplier Selection Decision Analysis, Neha Andaleeb Khalid, Muhammad Saeed

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

To deal with the concepts of vulnerability, ambiguity, and indeterminacy that are typical in complex decision analysis contexts, neutrosophic set-like structures are frequently used. Although neutrosophic sets are particularly good at handling indeterminate circumstances, indeterminacy plays a part in making the decision making process imprecise and ambiguous. This paper develops a more advanced technique to improve the accuracy of decision analysis problems: the Quantified Possibility Neutrosophic Soft Set Decision Support System (Q^t PNSSDSS). In order to reduce the element of indeterminacy present in conventional neutrosophic sets, the proposed DSS is based on the Quantified Neutrosophic Set, which employs a …

Some Properties Of Neutrosophic Cubic Hypersoft Sets, Lubna Nayab, Muhammad Gulistan, Fawad Hussain

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

This study addresses the limitations of NCS in managing uncertainties associated with multiple attributes and their further bifurcation. To address this challenge, we propose a generalization of the neutrosophic cubic soft set, introducing the concept of "neutrosophic cubic hyper soft set." Within this framework, we define internal and external neutrosophic cubic hypersoft sets, along with operations such as P-intersection, P-union, P-restricted union, P-extended intersection, P-OR operator, P-AND operator, R-intersection, R-union, R-restricted union, R-extended intersection, R-OR operator, R-AND operator, complement, and relative complement of neutrosophic cubic hyper soft sets. The study explores and presents relevant results, demonstrating the enhanced capability of …

Digital Trading Platform Selection Under Neutrosophic Numbers And Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Methodology: An Illustrative Example, Eman Sayed, Karam M. Sallam, Ibrahim Alrashdi

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Uncertainty, vagueness, and incomplete information are pervasive in real-world decision-making scenarios, particularly in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) contexts involving expert judgments. To address these challenges, this study introduces a comprehensive decision-making framework that integrates Triangular Neutrosophic Numbers (TNNs) with the Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) method. The framework begins by capturing expert evaluations using TNNs, which effectively represent the degrees of truth, indeterminacy, and falsity inherent in subjective assessments. These evaluations are then transformed into crisp values using a novel score function that preserves the embedded uncertainty. The resulting decision matrices are aggregated into a unified structure to ensure consistency …

Application Of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis For Quantifying Responsibility In Ml-Based Intrusion Detection System, Mona Mohamed, Zekra Sakr

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

With the swift growth in Internet of Things (IoT), certifying secure and trustworthy networks has turned to be a critical challenge, particularly as IoT devices are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated cyberattacks. As a remedy, intelligent intrusion detection systems (IDS) evolved as promising solutions in recent years, but deciding on the appropriate model remains difficult because of competing performance and trustworthiness criteria. To this end, this paper explores a novel application of an ML-augmented decision-making framework to enhance security-related decision-making in IoT environments. The framework systematically evaluates and ranks ML-based IDS systems according to different evaluation criteria with distinct trade-offs, including …

Vision-Based Dynamic Tasking For Earth-Observing Satellite Constellations, Shreeyam Kacker, Kerri Cahoy, Kiruthika Devaraj, Işıl Demir, Steve Chien

Small Satellite Conference

Unpredictable phenomena such as cloud coverage pose a challenge for conventional Earth observation. Long lead times can cause conditions to change between forecasting, scheduling, and image capture, leading to suboptimal observations. To combat this, dynamic tasking has been proposed as a mission concept, where perception and autonomy are moved onboard the spacecraft in order to quickly respond to changes in the spacecraft’s imaging schedule, leveraging the compute power available in modern Earth-observing spacecraft. In this work, we explore the use of a wide field-of-view body-fixed lookahead sensor, separate from the main imaging payload, to evaluate the real-time utility of upcoming …

Teachers’ Challenges In Implementing The New Mexican School’S Educational Model, Mayra Margarito Gaspar

Journal of Educational Research and Practice

This scholarly essay explores the challenges that teachers face in implementing the Nueva Escuela Mexicana (NEM) [new Mexican school] educational model, which prioritizes project-based and interdisciplinary learning over subject-based instruction. The NEM’s flexible approach requires teachers to independently structure lessons, ensuring continuity without a predefined thematic sequence. Collaboration is essential, yet many educators struggle with interdisciplinary coordination, especially in secondary education. Limited planning time and curricular flexibility further complicate implementation. Teachers in marginalized areas also face resource constraints, which hinders project-based learning. Additionally, the NEM’s textbooks, which are designed for integrative learning, lack clear organization and guidelines and make them …
