Applying fuzzy analytic hierarchy process to select models developed by abstraction and decision fusion architecture (case study: classification of Persian handwritten characters) by Mohammad Safaei, Somaye Moghari, Mohammad Kazem Fallah, Mehrdad Ghaznavi

“…The proposed methodology has three main phases: 1) developing models based on the ADFA, 2) defining evaluation criteria, and 3) selecting models using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP).Findings: The experimental results of this research demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in developing suitable machine learning models for applications related to wearable devices, such as smart glasses.Originality/Value: This research introduces three innovations: 1) the use of ADFA for developing models for the classification of Persian handwritten characters, 2) defining a new abstraction for summarizing handwritten character images, and 3) developing a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making approach for mapping the developed models in the ADFA to real-world applications.…”

Emphasizing the Early Phases of the Software Development Process Before Deploying Smart Contracts by Juan-Carlos Lopez-Pimentel, Carolina del-Valle-Soto, Leonardo J. Valdivia, Raul Monroy

“…The case is analyzed from three different perspectives: 1) Economic, finding that re-deploying smart contracts does not implicate considerable cost; 2) Computational perspective, finding that it generates various implications: smart contract purpose duplication, storage wastage, failure to recognize the original smart contract, cascade dependency repercussion, and migration problems; and 3) Interconnected effect, a simple change, required for upgrading smart contracts, generates broad collateral repercussions in both on-chain (within the blockchain) and off-chain.…”

Diuretic Activity of the Aqueous Extract Leaves of Ficus glumosa Del. (Moraceae) in Rats by Fidèle Ntchapda, Djedouboum Abakar, Blaise Kom, Paulin Nana, Christian Bonabe, Maguirgue Kakesse, Emmanuel Talla, Théophile Dimo

“…The stability of aldosterone level, the absence of correlation with the plasma levels of sodium, and the increased clearance of free water in the animals receiving the extract show that increased diuresis and natriuresis moderate elevation are tubular in origin. The increase in Na+, K+, and Cl− induced by the extract caused alkalinization of the urine and showed a strong inhibitory effect of carbonic anhydrase and saluretic. …”
