The selection of highly discriminatory features has been crucial in aiding further advancements in domains such as biomedical sciences, high-energy physics and e-commerce. Therefore evaluation of the robustness of feature selection methods to small perturbations in the data, known as feature selection stability, is of great importance to people in these respective fields. However, little resear...

In this study, the effect of basil seed gum (BSG) on the stability and rheological properties of egg white albumin (EWA) emulsions was investigated. A constant amount of EWA (0.5% w/v) and different concentrations of BSG (0-0.3% w/v) were used for the manufacture and stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions (30% w/w). The results showed that by increasing BSG concentration, the storage (21 days)...

The clear need for accurate landslide susceptibility mapping has led to multiple approaches. Physical models are easily interpreted and have high predictive capabilities but rely on spatially explicit and accurate parameterization, which is commonly not possible. Statistical methods can include other factors influencing slope stability such as distance to roads, but rely on good landslide inven...

Background: Impairment of cervical sensory input in patients with neck pain may disturb postural stability. The purpose of present study was to assess the dynamic postural stability of subjects with chronic neck pain compared to a matched control group.    Methods: In this case-control study, 22 chronic non-specific neck pain and 22 healthy individuals participated. Postural stabilit...

the present study attempts to investigate the effect of thermal treatment at 180 °c for 8 hours on chemical changes, quality indexes and oxidative stability of three iranian common virgin olive oils (zard, mari and phishomi). oil samples were taken every 2h of heating treatment and assessed for fatty acid composition, conjugated diene value, carbonyl value, color index and oxidative stability i...

This study aimed to analyze the effects of an 8-week training with elastic resistance bands on body composition and postural control in sedentary women. Thirty-four female university students participated based voluntariness. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups: experimental group group. performed band training. Body measurements included weight, mass index, fat percentage, skinf...

drought stress is the most important factor that reduces yield in crops including chickpea and causes some changes in seed composition. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and starter nitrogen fertilizer on four cultivars of chickpea. experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stre...
