Performance Evaluation of an Academician using Fuzzy Logic: Student’s Perspective
Abstract: AbstractCurrent literature and common practice suggest that there is no consistent method available to compute the performance of an academician. So, this research work aims to find the quality of an academician from student’s point of view depending upon various quality factors like knowledge, knowledge delivery, communication skills etc. An expert system based on fuzzy logic has been designed to accept inaccurate and vague values of the parameters on which …

Color Image Segmentation Using Optimized FCM Based on Modified Xie-Beni’s Validity Index
Abstract: AbstractColor image segmentation is an important task for image processing. There are many techniques used for segmentation; among them clustering is the most popular technique. The main issue of clustering process is to determine the number of clusters present in the image, which often is decided by the user or by cluster validity index. It is illogical to have correct or exact knowledge about the data points present in the …

Software Testing and Assessment Measure for Fuzzy Logic
Abstract: Software testing is an important part of software development which is performed to support and enhance reliability and quality of software. It consists of estimating testing effort, selecting suitable test team, designing test cases, executing the software with those test cases and examining the results produced by these methods. This paper proposes fuzzy based approach for finding out the complexity weight based on requirement. Based on the weight, this paper …

A New Approach to Reduce Guassian Noise in Images using Fuzzy Logic
Abstract: The quality of an image in any image processing algorithm plays a vital role as the quality of image is a primary thing. There are several techniques employed to enhance the quality of the image. Few techniques are applied to all images irrespective of the noise and few are employed to reduce particular type of noise present in the images. In this paper a new method is used for the …

Predicting the Physical Property of Asphaltene Molecule using Fuzzy System
Abstract: Asphaltenes — the heaviest and most aromatic compounds of crude oil— have a strong tendency to aggregate in solution to form complex colloidal structures. They generally impede producing, transporting and refining of crude oil resources. An indepth knowledge of the physical behavior of asphaltenes is needed to mitigate these effects. Predicting the physical behavior of asphaltene such as density is complex and nonlinear as it is a complex molecular mixture …

Job Sequencing with Fuzzy Processing Times using Credibility Theory
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, a new algorithm to find an optimal sequence of ‘ n ’ jobs that has to be processed through ‘m ’ machines is developed by treating the processing times of jobs on the machines as fuzzy (imprecise) variables. The algorithm is similar to that of Johnson (1954) which considers the processing times as precise in nature. The proposed algorithm makes use of the concepts of ‘Credibility Theory’ …

Factors Affecting Coffee Market Supply of Smallholder Farm Household: The Case of Gimbo District Kaffa Zone, Southwest Ethiopia.
Abstract: Abstract This study analyzes the factors influencing the market supply of coffee in selected districts of Gimbo District, Kaffa Zone, and Southwest Ethiopia. Coffee is Ethiopia’s most significant export crop, contributing substantially to the country’s GDP and exhibiting broad genetic diversity. Despite the high production potential of the district, the marketing system remains predominantly conventional, forcing producers to sell through traditional transaction routes that do not offer premium prices, thereby …

Quantum-Fuzzy Tensor Operators and Uncertainty-Band Bifurcation for Symmetry-Preserving State Discrimination
Abstract: A tensor-operator framework is developed for fuzzy conjunction, fuzzy disjunction, and symmetry-preserving state discrimination in multi-qubit quantum systems. In this formulation, fuzzy membership and non-membership degrees are represented through expectations of effect operators acting on density matrices, providing a natural bridge between fuzzy logic and quantum measurement theory. Conjunction and disjunction operations are extended to the quantum domain via tensorised channels, constructed using projective measurements and unitary transformations, enabling logical …

Spectral Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hypergraph Operators and Dominance Kernels for Resilient Discrete Network Design
Abstract: A new discrete-mathematical framework is developed for resilient network design on intuitionistic fuzzy hypergraphs, where uncertainty is explicitly represented through membership, non-membership, and hesitation degrees associated with both vertices and hyperedges. These three components are systematically integrated into an effective incidence operator that captures the underlying uncertain relationships within complex hypergraph structures. Based on this operator, both un-normalised and normalized Laplacian matrices are formulated to characterize the spectral properties and …

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hypergraph Laplacians and Dominating Transversals for Resilient Discrete Network Design
Abstract: This manuscript develops a discrete mathematical framework for resilience analysis on networks whose interactions are polyadic, uncertain, and partially conflicting. Classical graphs compress multi-way coordination into pairwise edges, while ordinary fuzzy graphs often ignore the non-membership information that becomes critical in emergency logistics, infrastructure interdependence, and cyberphysical coordination. We therefore formulate an intuitionistic fuzzy hypergraph in which each vertex hyperedge incidence carries membership, non-membership, and hesitation, and we construct a …

Determinants of Smallholder Farmers Quantity of Coffea arabica L., Supply to Market: A Case of Gimbo District, Kaffa Zone, Ethiopia
Abstract: This study investigates the factors influencing the market supply of coffee in various districts of the Gimbo District, Kaffa Zone, in Southwest Ethiopia. Coffee is Ethiopia's most significant export crop, recognized for its extensive genetic diversity and its substantial contribution to the country's GDP. Despite the district's strong production capacity, the marketing structure remains predominantly traditional, compelling producers to sell through conventional channels that do not offer premium prices, thereby …

An Extensive Review of Face Powder Formulation Considerations
Abstract: Face powder was demanded by many nations in the world in the beginning AD. In Asia, white skin was believed to be the sign of aristocratism, membership of the elite, and yet, white color is the pure symbol of the internal beauty and nobility. In addition, some face powders are sold in varying specialty shades to suit different skin needs; for example, a face powder with a greenish tinge will …
