An integrated DEA-fuzzy AHP method for prioritization of renewable energy sources in India.

As India's population grows and urbanization accelerates, energy demand is increasing sharply while conventional sources fall behind. To tackle energy shortages and climate change, India must prioritize renewable energy sources (RES), which offer sustainable solutions. The country is rich in RES, which can enhance fuel mix for electricity generation.

Fractional derivative based weighted skip connections for satellite image road segmentation.

Segmentation of a road portion from a satellite image is challenging due to its complex background, occlusion, shadows, clouds, and other optical artifacts. One must combine both local and global cues for an accurate and continuous/connected road network extraction. This paper proposes a model using fractional derivative-based weighted skip connections on a densely connected convolutional neural network for road segmentation.

Air Quality Prediction Using the Fractional Gradient-Based Recurrent Neural Network.

In this study, the air quality index (AQI) of Indian cities of different tiers is predicted by using the vanilla recurrent neural network (RNN). AQI is used to measure the air quality of any region which is calculated on the basis of the concentration of ground-level ozone, particle pollution, carbon monoxide, and sulphur dioxide in air. Thus, the present air quality of an area is dependent on current weather conditions, vehicle traffic in that area, or anything that increases air pollution.

A novel methodology for perception-based portfolio management.

Selecting and investing in stock market with right proportions is one of the major challenges. Majority of the investors end up losing their invested equity capital due to uncertainty in the market. The present study provides a novel framework for novice investors to construct portfolio based on multicriteria decision making techniques under fuzzy environment.
