In this paper, the inventory control problem of a firm that offers advance booking for the product and cancellation (with a full refund) before the due delivery date is addressed. A profit maximization model is formulated to find the optimum inventory cycle length, the selling price of the product, and advertisement expenditure. The discounted cash flow approach is used to take into account cash flows at different time points. Advance booking is made at the beginning of the inventory cycle at a discounted price until the time of stock arrival, followed by usual spot sales. The number of order cancellations during the advance booking period is dependent on the waiting time for receiving the order. The impact of revenue collected through advance sales is considered by including interest earned. Product demand is assumed to be the function of advertisement expenditure and the selling price of the product. A solution procedure is suggested, and the model is illustrated through numerical analysis, thereby providing valuable managerial insights based on the results obtained.","PeriodicalId":44185,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Engineering and Management Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44560131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reliability of AVs is not extensively explored in the literature, despite the apprehension due to fatal accidents recorded in the past. Despite being in existence for over a decade, AVs have yet to reach a certified commercial-level deployment. Due to the complexity that comes with the self-operation of an AV, the issue of trustworthiness, which signifies reliability, becomes inevitable. The identification, analysis, and categorization of functional elements using systems engineering conceptual design principles and the linkage of these to the road traffic rules were conducted to address this. Also, the evaluation of the reliability of AVs using various developed vehicles from selected industries was addressed by integrating the traffic rules. The analysis of reliability was carried out using life-to-failure data premised on the probability plotting approach. It was found that there is a 99.94% chance that an autonomous vehicle will fail at least one of the traffic rules within 20 minutes of driving. Furthermore, the hazard rate of AVs was found to be on the rise, meaning a high indication of accidents.","PeriodicalId":44185,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Engineering and Management Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41281502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regarding the benefit, the developable surfaces are widely used to model plat-metal-based industry products such as automobiles, ship hulls, and ducts. For this reason, we introduce a new approach for designing developable surfaces limited by two space curves. The method consists of these steps. First, we define a generalized cone and a cylinder surface by posing restrictions: a fixed summit point of the cone has to be outside a plane; a static nonzero constant vector is unparallel to the plane; and two quintic Bézier curves are placed on the different sides of the plane. Second, computing the control points on the plane is determined by the intersection between the control lines of the cone/cylinder surface and the plane. Third, using these obtained control points, we evaluate the required boundary curves profile and the shape of the developable Bézier surfaces, that are limited by these quintic Bézier curves. Finally, we also apply this method to design the developable Hermite surfaces. As a result, this introduced method can provide the equations and procedures for modeling developable surfaces with boundary curves in space. Also, it is useable to design these surfaces in many arches and shapes. Moreover, this method is effective for modifying and adjusting the desired boundary curves profile of the surfaces.","PeriodicalId":44185,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Engineering and Management Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42799039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, we utilize the simplest equation method (SEM) with a dual sense of Brownian motion to convert the presented equation into an ordinary differential equation (ODE) and apply an effective computational technique to obtain exact solutions. By carefully comparing the derived solutions with solutions from other articles, we prove the distinction of these solutions for their diversity and the discovery of new solutions for SFACE that appear in many scientific fields, such as mathematical biology, quantum mechanics, and plasma physics. The results introduced in this article were obtained by plotting several graphs and examining how noise affects exact solutions using Mathematica and MATLAB software packages.","PeriodicalId":44185,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Engineering and Management Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48862837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To identify and analyze a patient, healthcare providers need to access the physician's Electronic Medical Record (EMR), which may contain extensive audiovisual big data such as MRIs, CT scans, PET scans, X-rays, and more. To ensure accessibility and scalability for healthcare workers and consumers, the EMR needs to be stored in large data repositories on cloud servers. However, due to the sensitive nature of medical information stored in the cloud, the healthcare profession faces numerous security challenges, with data theft attacks being one of the most critical vulnerabilities. This research focuses on protecting medically sensitive data in the cloud by leveraging cloud computing facilities. The upgraded AES approach ensures that confidential data is securely accessible and stored. In addition, improved Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is utilized for key generation and validation. A hybrid optimization approach, combining robust optimization and genetic algorithms, is employed to select unique and distinct keys. Decryption is performed using deep neural networks, and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) enable batch encryption of multiple documents. The comparison between old methods and the proposed approach is based on encryption time, decryption time, and security strength.","PeriodicalId":44185,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Engineering and Management Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48018920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An algorithm has been proposed to analyze captured object images and perform measurements and inspection processes. The aim of this paper is to utilize computer vision detection algorithms to control the quality of manufactured parts by sorting them on size tolerance. The length of various objects such as screws, bolts, and a rectangular iron piece was determined from the images captured using smartphone camera (Samsung Galaxy F62).
