The shopping experience may impact tourists' overall dis/satisfaction and, subsequently, the destination's local economy. To address this importance, the current study focused on six important criteria - environmental ...
A Fuzzy-Based Method for Objects Selection in Blockchain-Enabled Edge-IoT Platforms Using a Hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Model
(Mdpi, 2022)
The broad availability of connected and intelligent devices has increased the demand for Internet of Things (IoT) applications that require more intense data storage and processing. However, cloud-based IoT systems are ...
A novel model based on the fuzzy Grey Relational Analysis (F-GRA) approach for selecting the appropriate high-speed train set
(Springer, 2023)
The high-speed train (HST) system is one of the most critical components of national and international passenger transportation networks. Selecting the appropriate train sets is a critical task for railway operators to ...
The Penetration of European Banking into Ottoman Lands During the Second Half of the Nineteenth Century
