This study introduces an approach for Multiple Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) that deals with the complexity of Single-Valued Neutrosophic Uncertain Linguistic Variables (SVNULVs).This method is engineered to grasp the interconnectedness of multiple inputs and to meet the diverse requirements for semantic transformations.Due to the shortcomings o
Electronic devices used for marine applications suffer from several issues that can compromise their performance.In particular, water absorption and permeation can lead to the corrosion of metal parts or short-circuits.The added mass due to the absorbed water affects 9002nc the inertia and durability of the devices, especially for flexible and very
