This study addresses the challenges associated with optimal power flow (OPF) management in hybrid power systems incorporating diverse energy sources, particularly focusing on the unpredictability of renewable energy sources (RESs). A novel analytics approach is introduced using Multi-Objective...

Prostate cancer (PCa) symptoms are commonly confused with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), particularly in the early stages due to similarities between symptoms, and in some instances, underdiagnoses. Clinical methods have been utilized to diagnose PCa; however, at the full-blown stage, clinical...

Accurate predictions of hourly PM2.5 concentrations are crucial for preventing the harmful effects of air pollution. In this study, a new decomposition-ensemble framework incorporating the variational mode decomposition method (VMD), econometric forecasting method (autoregressive integrated...

Upon the latest reform to the college entrance examination in China (i.e., Gaokao), high schools began implementing an optional class system. Under this scheme, students' time slots become complex, thereby increasing the difficulty in formulating a suitable timetable from the available ones. To...

Formation and scheduling are the most important decisions in the virtual modular manufacturing system; however, the global performance optimization of the system may be sacrificed via the superposition of two independent decision-making results. The joint decision of formation and scheduling is...

In the context of on-demand ridehailing, we propose a heuristic matching algorithm where a passenger can share their ride with one more passenger while experiencing a high-quality service with a minimal increase in travel time. To evaluate the performance, we implemented the algorithm in a...

We study a setting in which a company not only has a fleet of capacitated vehicles and drivers available to make deliveries but may also use the services of occasional drivers (ODs) willing to make deliveries using their own vehicles in return for a small fee. Under such a business model, a.k.a...

This research addresses the challenges of multi-attribute group decision-making in a hesitant fuzzy environment, where randomness and uncertainty introduce biases into practical making choices. A probability-based double uncertain fuzzy (PDHF) algorithm is proposed to overcome these challenges....
