Feature selection method for software defect number prediction based on maximum information coefficient by Guoqing LIU, Xingqi WANG, Dan WEI, Jinglong FANG, Yanli SHAO

“…The traditional feature selection method only considers the linear correlation between variables and ignores the nonlinear correlation, so it is difficult to select effective feature subsets to build the effective model to predict the number of faults in software modules.Considering the linear and nonlinear relationship, a feature selection method based on maximum information coefficient (MIC) was proposed.The proposed method separated the redundancy analysis and correlation analysis into two phases.In the previous phase, the cluster algorithm, which was based on the correlation between features, was used to divide the redundant features into the same cluster.In the later phase, the features in each cluster were sorted in descending order according to the correlation between features and the number of software defects, and then the top features were selected to form the feature subset.The experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the prediction performance of software defect number prediction model by effectively removing redundant and irrelevant features.…”

Superfoods: exploring sustainability perspectives between nutrient synthesizers and accumulators by G. Santunione, G. Montevecchi, G. Montevecchi

“…The aim is to provide a framework for identifying and promoting superfoods that align with environmental and social sustainability goals, helping guide both consumers and producers toward more responsible choices in food systems. Analyzing the sources and characteristics of the main compounds found in superfoods reveals that most of them come from plants or bacteria, rather than animal origins. …”

Increasing Productivity and Recovering Nutritional, Organoleptic, and Nutraceutical Qualities of Major Vegetable Crops for Better Dietetics by Raju Lal Bhardwaj, Latika Vyas, Mahendra Prakash Verma, Suresh Chand Meena, Anirudha Chattopadhyay, Neeraj Kumar Meena, Dan Singh Jakhar, Sita Ram Kumawat

“…This combination of factors significantly recovers overall soil quality, increasing crop productivity by 13.58 to 18.32 percent in tomato, brinjal, and okra. Experimental findings likewise indicate that an assortment of organic sources with a microbial consortium significantly recovers the abundance of beneficial microbes and earthworms in the rhizosphere, which leads to an improvement in nutritional, organoleptic, and nutraceutical quality, with higher antioxidant contents in all three vegetables grown in arid climate conditions.…”
