After almost two decades of intensified research, regulatory and political activities focussed on the prevention of harmful organisms and pathogen transfers around the world, in 2004 the International Convention on the Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention) was adopted to provide for a common and globally uniform ballast water management (BWM) approach. Recognising th...

Abstract Financial institutions use credit rating models to make lending, investing, and risk management decisions. Credit have been developed using a variety of statistical machine learning methods. These methods, however, are data-intensive dependent on assumptions about data distribution. This research offers an integrated fuzzy model address such issues. study proposes reduce problems. The ...

This paper focuses on the design of wings used in airborne wind energy systems. At moment, two different designs are being developed: soft and rigid wings. aimed to establish which alternative choices has highest chance dominance factors affect that. We treated this problem as a battle for dominant design, outcome can be explained by technology dominance. The objective was find weights specific...

Abstract This study investigates the competitiveness of various autonomous ship categories for container shipping in Arctic route. We propose a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework using four as alternatives and eight criteria evaluation. analyse collected data Best–Worst Method (BWM), one recently developed MCDM methods. The findings reveal that operating expenses, navigation aspect...

Abstract The 2-dimensional uncertain linguistic variable (2DULV) can depict decision-makers’ subjective assessments on the reliability of given evaluation results, which is a valid and practical tool to express decision information. In this study, we develop an improved MABAC method with 2DULVs handle multiattribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problems where weight information attributes unkn...

Under the premise of resource constraint, it is crucial to identify product innovation opportunities contained in failed patents through external search order compensate for shortcomings enterprises’ own technology. Due cost patent research and development risk infringement, this paper constructs a identification path that integrates FOS BERTopic model from perspective invalid patents. The cons...

The Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is often used to improve a system’s reliability. This paper proposes new approach that aims overcome the most critical defects of traditional FMEA. methodology combines Entropy Best Worst Method (BWM) with EDAS System Dynamics, FMECA: EN-B-ED Dynamic FMECA. main innovation point proposed work presence an unknown factor (Cost) allows obtain objective w...

Software testing plays a significant role in various software development phases. There are so many techniques available. Selecting the most suitable technique based on multiple factors is challenging for practitioners. This paper proposes an MCDM-based hybrid approach selecting appropriate among available techniques, considering such as cost, schedule, resources, etc. Because of involvement fa...

Developing a promising technology that copes with the industrial warehousing environment requires special preparation. It includes infrastructure, equipment, resources, knowledge, efficiencies, and strategies for dealing failures. This study examines Technology 4.0 driven warehouse practices performance based on thorough literature review. The presents unique proposition as it considers two-fol...
