Emerging Fuzzy Intelligent Systems for Smart Healthcare Management: Applications of Disc q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Sets presents comprehensive methodological frameworks and the latest empirical research findings concerning disc q-rung orthopair fuzzy operators, with a specific focus on their applications in smart technologies for healthcare management. The book solves a crucial problem by offering readers an invaluable opportunity to conduct a comparative analysis, contrasting the proposed methods with their existing knowledge base. Disc q-Rung Orthopair sets, being the generalization of q-Rung Orthopair fuzzy sets, which are, in turn, the generalization of Pythagorean fuzzy sets, extend the capabilities of handling uncertainty beyond conventional fuzzy sets.The authors strive to narrow the knowledge gap by clarifying the practical applications of disc q-rung orthopair fuzzy logic. In addition, it explores an enhanced version of q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Sets, specifically focusing on Disc q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Sets, introducing various types of operators. These operators play a crucial role in solving decision-making and optimization problems. A notable contribution is the development of a hybrid operator, termed as the Disc q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Hybrid Weighted Averaging/Geometric (D-qROFHWA/G) operator.

Nano-bioinoculants: Smart Tools for Modern Agriculture discusses the interactions between nanoparticles and soil–plants–microbiome systems in a single-volume book designed to guide improvements in sustainable agriculture i.e. plant production and soil health. Past practices for the application of pesticides and chemical fertilizers have reduced the beneficial microbial diversity and soil fertility essential for optimal crop yield and overall plant health. As a result, developing innovative approaches to plant/soil health maintenance, bioremediation process, and stress management is advancing. Plant protection methods are increasingly being tailored to improve sustainable precision results, reduce environmental impact, and to target specific plant health challenges. Nano-bioinoculants: Smart Tools for Modern Agriculture explains nanoparticles and beneficial microbes and their impact on soil microbiomes, soil fertility restoration, remediation of contaminated soil, and plant health. It also highlights nanoparticles and bioinoculants in stress management, plant growth, and productivity, as well as covering the potentially toxic effect of nanoparticles on humans and the environment. This volume in the Nanomaterial-Plant Interactions series explores the potential of nano-biotechnology for better agronomic performance and sustainability.
