Authors: Kumar Ashwani , Narang Gursharan Singh , Singh Gurmeet , Virk Navneet
Published: February 2019

Background: Vitamin D is a fat-soluble steroid hormone. Vitamin D also has immunomodulatory effects on immune function. Early onset sepsis (EOS) is characterized by signs and symptoms of infection with or without accompanying bacteremia in the first three days of life. The objective of the study was to determine the possible association between neonatal vitamin D levels and EOS in term neonates.Methods: 100 term neonates with clinical and laboratory findings of EOS (study group) and 100 healthy infants with no signs of clinical/laboratory infection (control group) were enrolled. Sera was drawn during first 3 postnatal days of life in both groups for measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels.Results: Neonatal 25-OHD levels (17.4ng/dL) in the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group (26.8 ng/dL) (p=0.001). In present study negative correlation was found between vitamin D level and CRP.Conclusions: Lower neonatal 25-OHD levels are associated with EOS. Adequate vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy may be helpful to prevent EOS in term neonates.

Published: February 2019

Abstract

 

Virtual reality (VR) as computer-mediated 3-D environments including real-life situations presented via different tools in which users can interact effectively with visuals. This study is significant as it primarily aimed to investigate effects of VR on retention by comparing it with traditional 2-D videos. The main aim of this study is to compare the effect of VR and 2-D videos on learner retention and decision making. About 18 students from the Department of English language teaching in an age range of 18–20 (nine males and nine females) voluntarily participated in this study and took course credits. As all participants were tested under the same two conditions in different time periods; repeated measures were chosen for statistical analysis. It can be inferred that both technologies have similar effects on short-term retention and VR does not provide any extra retention performance. However, VR was found to have a significant effect on long-term retention.

 

Keywords: Virtual reality, eye tracking, retention, decision making.

Angiographic Features of Drug-Induced Bilateral Angle Closure and Transient Myopia with Ciliochoroidal Effusion
Authors: Kang Yong Koo , Son Byeong Jae , Park Dong Ho , Shin Jae Pil
Published: February 2019

Background: To report five cases of acute drug-induced angle closure and transient myopia with ciliochoroidal effusion and to analyze angiographic findings of these cases.
Methods: This study is an observational case series. Five patients with acute drug-induced angle closure and transient myopia with ciliochoroidal effusion were examined by fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).
Results: Five patients presented with bilateral visual loss and ocular pain after intake of topiramate, methazolamide, phendimetrazine tartrate or mefenamic acid. All patients showed elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) with shallow anterior chamber and myopic shift from -0.5 to -17.0 diopters (D). UBM showed ciliochoroidal effusions with diffuse thickening of the ciliary body in all cases. Rapid normalization of IOP and decrease of myopic shift occurred in all patients after discontinuing the suspected drugs. We classified the ICGA findings into 2 major signs (hypofluorescent dark spots, hyperfluorescent pinpoints) and 3 minor signs (diffuse choroidal hyperfluorescence, early hyperfluorescence of choroidal stromal vessel, and leakage and dilated retinal vessels).
Conclusions: The pathogenesis of acute drug-induced angle closure and transient myopia with ciliochoroidal effusion may be idiosyncratic reaction of uveal tissue to systemic drugs. Accumulation of extravascular fluid in the ciliochoroidal layer had a major role in the pathogenesis. ICGA could be a useful method to examine the pathophysiology of this condition by imaging of the choroidal layer.
Keywords: Ciliochoroidal effusion; Drug-induced angle closure; Indocyanine green angiography; Transient myopia.

Published: February 2019

Mulch is often applied in landscape planting beds for weed control, but little research has focused specifically on mulch and preemergence (PRE) herbicide combinations. The objectives of this research were to determine the efficacy of herbicide + mulch combinations and which factors significantly affected weed control, including herbicide formulation and posttreatment irrigation volumes. Additional objectives were to determine efficacy derived from mulch or herbicides used alone under herbicide + mulch combinations and to identify differences in the additive (herbicide + mulch combinations) or singular (herbicide or mulch) effects compared with the use of herbicides or mulch only. Large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), garden spurge (Euphorbia hirta), and eclipta (Eclipta prostrata) were used as bioassay species for prodiamine, dimethenamid-P + pendimethalin, and indaziflam efficacy, respectively. The experiment consisted of a factorial treatment arrangement of two herbicide formulations (granular or spray applied), three mulch types [hardwood chips (HWs), pine bark (PB), and pine straw (PS)], two mulch depths (1 and 2 inches), and three levels of one-time, posttreatment irrigation volumes (0.5, 1, and 2 inches). Three sets of controls were used: the first set included three mulch types applied at two depths receiving only 0.5-inch irrigation volume, the second set included only two herbicide formulations and three one-time irrigation volumes, whereas the last set received no treatment (no herbicide or mulch) and only 0.5-inch irrigation volume. High levels of large crabgrass and garden spurge control (88% to 100%) were observed with all herbicide + mulch combinations evaluated at mulch depths of 1 inch or greater. When comparing mulch types, the best eclipta control was achieved with hardwood at 2 inches depth. The spray formulation of indaziflam outperformed the granular formulation in most cases when used alone or in combination with mulch. Overall, the results showed that spray formulations of prodiamine and dimethenamid-P + pendimethalin were more effective than granular formulations when applied alone, whereas indaziflam was more effective as a spray formulation when used both alone and in combination with mulch. Increasing irrigation volume was not a significant factor for any of the herbicide + mulch combinations when evaluating overall weed control.
Electrical detection of the Majorana fusion rule for chiral edge vortices in a topological superconductor
Authors: Beenakker Carlo , Grabsch Aurélien , Herasymenko Yaroslav
Published: February 2019

Majorana zero-modes bound to vortices in a topological superconductor
have a non-Abelian exchange statistics expressed by a non-deterministic
fusion rule: When two vortices merge they may or they
may not produce an unpaired fermion with equal
probability. Building on a recent proposal to inject edge vortices in a
chiral mode by means of a Josephson junction, we show how the fusion
rule manifests itself in an electrical measurement. A
\bm {2\pi}2𝛑
phase shift at a pair of Josephson junctions creates a topological qubit
in a state of even-even fermion parity, which is transformed by the
chiral motion of the edge vortices into an equal-weight superposition of
even-even and odd-odd fermion parity. Fusion of the edge vortices at a
second pair of Josephson junctions results in a correlated charge
transfer of zero or one electron per cycle, such that the current at
each junction exhibits shot noise, but the difference of the currents is
nearly noiseless.
The effects of industry characteristics on stock price synchronicity around IFRS adoption
Authors: Shin Hyejeong
Published: February 2019

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether a change in stock price synchronicity after IFRS adoption differs by industry characteristics. IFRS adoption was expected to improve earnings quality and comparability. Industry concentration and homogeneity are utilized as industry characteristics, which are known as determinants to earnings quality and comparability to examine IFRS adoption effect on the synchronicity. Using Korean firms listed from 2006 to 2015, the author found that stock price synchronicity decreases after IFRS adoption. The reduction in synchronicity is larger for firms in a concentrated industry. However, the researcher didn’t find that incremental effect of homogeneity on synchronicity changes around IFRS adoption. These results remain unchanged after several robustness tests. The results imply that earnings quality after IFRS adoption improves, while comparability effect is not evident in the Korean market. The paper has implications that co-movement of stock price decreases after IFRS adoption in that delivering firm-specific information to investors; in addition, the magnitude of impacts of IFRS adoption differs by the industry characteristics. The author extends prior studies about IFRS adoption effect on the capital market by providing that the effects need to be examined after considering the industry characteristics.

Authors: Zulfa Umi
Published: February 2019

Efforts to create peaceful world by upholding values of pluralism and to bring prosperity on earth by developing science and technology become very crucial and urgent. However, horizontal conflicts due to religious differences and technological abuses are still prevalent. This study provides an alternative design for Islamic education that is believed to be able to make life on earth more advanced, peaceful and prosperous with reference to al-Ghazali’s thoughts. It reveals some possible ways to empower pesantren to meets the needs of students in the contemporary era, extracted from al-Ghazali’s thoughts on shak, tawāḍu‘, ṣuḥbah, mukhtalif al-alwān and the classification of knowledge. The study is qualitative research with descriptive analysis of literatures concerning education. In this paper, the author argues that such an ideal pesantren should uphold the characteristics of (1) inclusive religious education, (2) balanced religious and scientific development, (3) student-centered learning, and (4) entrepreneurial institution.
Rereading Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje: His Islam, Marriage and Indo-European Descents in the Early Twentieth-Century Priangan
Authors: Rohmana Jajang A
Published: February 2019

This study focuses on a controversial issue about Christiaan Snouck Hurgronje’s family that was left in the Dutch East Indies in the early twentieth century. The issue sparked a debate among scholars in the 1980s. The debate was concerned with the Dutch government's denial of Hurgronje’s marriage to an Indigenous woman as it was intended to maintain his good reputation. As a matter of fact, the colonial government forbids the marriage of European people with Indigenous women because it would tarnish their status and make it difficult in their careers. This study is meant as a follow-up of van Koningsveld's findings about Hurgronje’s wife and children in Priangan. Here the writer uses a historical analysis of the letters written by Hasan Mustapa to Hurgronje (Cod. Or. 8952). He argues that Hurgronje's history needs to be read in his position as a colonial official who may be worried about rules set by the colonial government. This study shows that Hurgronje cannot be considered completely irresponsible to his Indo-European family in the Dutch East Indies. In fact, he continued to monitor the condition of his family through regular correspondence with Hasan Mustapa, his close friend in the Dutch East Indies. This study is important in a sense that it is expected to be able to rectify the confusion over the issue of Hurgronje's morality towards his family. It offers another perspective of the history of colonialism dealing with interracial relation between Indigenous women, and their offspring, and European men amid the rise of the issue of Nyai and concubinage in the Dutch East Indies.

Published: February 2019

The effects of salinity on the photodegradation and mineralization of sulfonamides in the UV/TiO2 system were investigated. The goals of this study were to analyze the effects of pH and salinity on the sulfonamide concentration and total organic carbon (TOC) during the removal of sulfonamides in a UV/TiO2 system. Four sulfonamides – sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfamethizole (SFZ), sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and sulfathiazole (STZ) - were selected as parent compounds. The photodegradation and mineralization rates of sulfonamides in the UV/TiO2 system satisfy pseudo-first-order kinetics. Direct photolysis degraded sulfonamides but sulfonamides cannot be mineralized. The photodegradation and mineralization rate constants in all experiments followed the order pH 5 > pH 7 > pH 9. At pH 5, the mineralization rate constants of SMX, SFZ, SDZ and STZ were 0.015, 0.009, 0.012 and 0.011 min−1, respectively. The addition of NaCl inhibited the mineralization of the four tested sulfonamides more than it inhibited their photodegradation. The inhibitory effect of chloride ions on the removal of sulfonamides in the UV/TiO2 system was attributed to the scavenging by chloride ions of hydroxyl radicals (HO•) and holes and the much lower reactivity of chlorine radicals thus formed, even though the chlorine radicals were more abundant than HO•.

Published: February 2019

Many technologies have been proposed to oxidize chromium, such as roasting-water leaching technology and hydrometallurgical methods such as pressure oxidative leaching coupled with oxygen, ozone, permanganate and ferrate, but the problems associated with the high temperature, low overall resource utilization efficiency, high energy consumption, and the environmental pollution, still remain unsolved. This paper focuses on the oxidation process of chromium (III) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in an alkaline medium. The effect of parameters including dosage of H2O2, dosage of NaOH, reaction time, reaction temperature and stirring rate on the oxidation efficiency of chromium were investigated. The oxidation efficiency was significantly affected by the dosage of H2O2 and NaOH, reaction time and reaction temperature took second place; last was the stirring rate. Oxidation efficiency was nearly 100% under the optimal conditions: volume ratio of H2O2 to mass of Cr2(SO4)3 of 2.4 mL/g, mass ratio of NaOH to Cr2(SO4)3 0.6 g/g, reaction time of 90 min, reaction temperature of 90 °C and stirring rate of 500 rpm.
Znaczenie judeochrześcijańskich korzeni i świadectwa chrześcijan o korzeniach żydowskich dla integralnego zrozumienia przesłania biblijnego

Punktem wyjścia artykułu są pierwotne napięcia pomiędzy wyznawcami judaizmu i chrześcijaństwa. Autor na ich tle ukazuje historyczny przełom we wzajemnych relacjach judeochrześcijańskich, który nastąpił po Soborze Watykańskim II. Umożliwił on wkroczenie judaizmu i chrześcijaństwa w drogę braterstwa i dialogu. W przekonaniu autora było to możliwe za sprawą wysiłków papieży (tj. Jana Pawła II, Benedykta XVI i Franciszka) oraz wspólnych instytucji i organizacji chrześcijańsko-żydowskich. Autor podkreśla również, że relacje chrześcijańsko-żydowskie cechuje wzajemne poszanowanie przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu własnej tożsamości i wierności swojej tradycji religijnej i duchowej. Na zakończenie artykułu zostały przedstawione osobiste doświadczenia autora w dialogu chrześcijańsko-żydowskim.

UNSTRUCTURED

Surgery is still far from being completely safe and reliable. Surgical safety has, therefore, been the focus of considerable attention over the last few decades, and there are a growing number of national drives to improve it. There are also a number of large surgical complication reporting systems and system-based interventions, both of which have made remarkable progress in the past two decades. These systems, however, have either mainly focused on reporting complications and played a limited role in guiding practice or have provided nonselective interventions to all patients, perhaps imposing unnecessary burdens on frontline medical staff. We have, therefore, developed an evidence-based stratified surgical safety information system based on a multicenter surgical safety improvement program. This study discusses some critical issues in the process of developing this information system, including (1) decisions about data gathering, (2) establishing and sharing knowledge, (3) developing functions for the system, (4) system implementation, and (5) evaluation and continuous improvement. Using examples drawn from the surgical safety improvement program, we have shown how this type of system can be fitted into day-to-day clinical practice and how it can guide medical practice by incorporating inherent patient-related risk and providing tailored interventions for patients with different levels of risk. We concluded that multidisciplinary collaboration, involving experts in health care (including senior staff in surgery, nursing, and anesthesia), data science, health care management, and health information technology, can help build an evidence-based stratified surgical patient safety improvement system. This can provide an information-intensified surgical safety learning platform and, therefore, benefit surgical patients by delivering tailored interventions and an integrated workflow.

Massive industrialization causes various pollutions (water, air, land and noise). Until early 2000s, facts proved that the environmental condition of Sidoarjo getting worse because of the high level of pollution in this area. This paper aims to explain industrial pollution, regulation of pollution and the debate of pollution cases in Sidoarjo since 1975-2006. Author uses an environmental history approach to analize this phenomenon, and peruses archival sources, newspapers, magazines and interview. This research finds out that industrial pollutions in Sidoarjo still continuously happen until today. Meanwhile, the govenrment regulations were not effectively decrease industrial pollutions because of collusion practice between industrialists and local government, and even with the military personnel particularly during the New Order. This paper proves that the government regulations and law enforcement about the environment were not resolving the pollution problems in Sidoarjo.

Stationary temperature field in multi-layered rods with discontinuous of cross section width
Authors: Mishchenko Andrey V.
Published: February 2019

Introduction. Presents a method for modeling a two-dimensional stationary temperature field in a layered rod. The peculiarity of the structure of the rod is the presence of discontinuity of the width of the cross section in the direction of heat flow and multilayer. Identification of the temperature field in such rods is a necessary step in solving the problem of thermoelasticity. The relevance of the problem lies in the development of analytical methods for analysis layered rods of complex geometric shape with thermal effects, with acceptable computational complexity and necessary accuracy. Materials and methods. For a multilayer rod, a method for constructing an approximate solution of the Dirichlet stationary heat conduction problem with a transverse heat flow direction is considered. Within each layer, the temperature distribution function is represented as a sum of two functions. The first function, linear in the direction of the heat flow, reflects the exact solution of the problem for a rectangular layered section. The second function is the correction nonlinear function of two variables. It describes the nonlinear distortions of the temperature field due to the presence of discontinuities in the width of the cross section. The correction function, according to the Fourier method, is represented as a product of a given coordinate function and the sum of the sought amplitudes caused by the width breaks. The functions of the effect of breaking the width on temperature fields in adjacent layers are introduced. An approximate formulation of the Dirichlet problem with integral conjugation conditions on interlayer boundaries is formulated. Results. The parameters of the stationary temperature field were calculated for a seven-layer section of a T-shaped form with alternating layers of carbon and steel. Testing the results of the Ansys program showed good qualitative and quantitative correspondence of two-dimensional temperature fields. Conclusions. The obtained solution satisfactorily describes the temperature field in the cross section of a layered rod in the vicinity of its geometric features. The method is characterized by acceptable laboriousness and accuracy suitable for solving the problem of thermoelasticity of a layered rod.
Nonlinear calculation of reinforced concrete structures to the impact of the air shock wave
Authors: Savenkov Anton Y. , Mkrtychev Oleg V.
Published: February 2019

Introduction. Researched methods of accounting for the nonlinear operation of reinforced concrete structures on the example of an industrial structure, when exposed to an air shock wave using modern software systems based on the finite element method. The calculation of reinforced concrete construction to the impact of an air shock wave, if no increased requirements for tightness are presented to it, in accordance with current regulatory documents, must be carried out taking into account the elastic-plastic work, crack opening in the stretched zone of concrete and plastic deformations of reinforcement are allowed. Reviewed by new coupling approach to determining the dynamic loads of a shock wave, implemented in the LS-DYNA software package, which allows to take into account the effects of a long-range explosion and wave-wrapping around a structure. Materials and methods. The study of the stress-strain state of the structures was carried out using numerical simulation. For the nonlinear equivalent-static method, a step-by-step calculation algorithm is used, with gradual accumulation and distribution of stresses, implemented in the LIRA-SAPR software package. For the nonlinear dynamic method, the Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation is used using the methods of gas dynamics in the LS-DYNA software package. Results. As a result of numerical simulation, the following was done analysis of existing methods of nonlinear calculations; analysis of the existing loads during the flow of shock waves around the structure; analysis of the forces and movements in the bearing elements, as well as pictures of the destruction of concrete and reinforcement. Conclusions. According to the results of the comparison of the two approaches, conclusions are drawn about the advantages and disadvantages of the methods. Advantages of nonlinear dynamic calculation methods are noted compared to the equivalent-static ones. Use of the combined approach to the description of the shock wave front gives a reduction in time and allows us to describe the interaction of the wave with the structure with sufficient accuracy. The findings indicate the relevance of the study and provide an opportunity to move to more reasonable computational models.

UMA REVISÃO SISTEMATIZADA DA PRODUÇÃO DO CONHECIMENTO SOBRE CORPO, GÊNERO, SEXUALIDADES NA EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: Dias Alfrancio Ferreira , Oliveira Danilo Araujo de , Santos Madson De Santana
Published: February 2019

Este paper sistematiza a literatura específica sobre corpo, gênero, sexualidades e educação, identificando o processo metodológico que produziu os diferentes padrões de explicação encontrados. Metodologicamente, ao introduzir a revisão sistematizada e meta-análise como técnica de pesquisa nas Ciências Humanas, pretendeu-se contribuir para a construção de revisão de literatura de forma sistematizada para que se garanta o aumento da acumulação e a confiabilidade da produção do conhecimento científico. Verificou-se, a partir da seleção de variáveis e de critérios de inclusão/exclusão, que os estudos analisados sobre as temáticas referentes ao corpo, gênero, sexualidades no campo da educação sugerem que sua abordagem contribui para a desestabilização de normatizações, classificações e hierarquizações.
IGUALDADE DE GÊNERO NO ENSINO SUPERIOR: AVANÇOS E DESAFIOS
Authors: Silva Shirleide Karla , Prestes Emília Maria da Trindade
Published: February 2019

O presente artigo soma-se à discussão de igualdade de gênero no ensino superior ao explorar o universo de estudantes dos cursos de graduação presencial da Universidade Federal da Paraíba - UFPB/Campus I, mapeando a participação de homens e mulheres por área de conhecimento e por curso, considerando as variáveis sexo e gênero. Como procedimento metodológico, adotamos o estudo de caso exploratório e descritivo. Este estudo consistiu em um levantamento estatístico, com dados fornecidos pela Superintendência de Tecnologia da Informação - STI/UFPB, abordando o quantitativo de estudantes matriculados no período letivo 2016.2. Ao distribuirmos estes dados segundo as áreas de conhecimento, percebemos que as mulheres continuam sub-representadas nas Ciências Exatas, Naturais, Tecnologia e Engenharias (33%) permanecendo nas áreas compreendidas como femininas – Ciências Humanas (57%) e Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde (63%). Os cursos nas áreas de Educação, Saúde e Bem-Estar Social, Serviços e Humanidades, considerados femininos, são os que mais atraem as mulheres. Seguindo esta tendência tradicional, os homens preferem cursos de Artes, Tecnologia e Ciências Exatas. Contudo, se considerarmos a pequena participação de mulheres nos cursos masculinos e de homens nos cursos femininos, podemos constatar que ainda estamos longe de alcançar a igualdade de gênero na academia, como sonhou Nísia Floresta no século XIX.
ASTRONOMIA: UMA EXPERIÊNCIA EM QUE MULHERES ATUAM COMO PROTAGONISTAS
Authors: Santos Elza Ferreira , Dos Santos José Osman , Santos Ieda Fraga
Published: February 2019

O presente texto é um relato de experiência vivenciada por jovens estudantes que compõem uma sociedade de estudos astronômicos. A astronomia é uma ciência que agrega amadores e pesquisadores profissionais. Tanto de um modo quanto do outro ela tem atraído mais homens do que mulheres no Brasil e no mundo. Sua aproximação com a física e com a matemática explica, possivelmente, o grande número de adeptos masculinos. Porém, em Sergipe, a sociedade de estudos astronômicos denominada SEASE tem mostrado que a astronomia pode seduzir mulheres e fazer delas cientistas. Na SEASE, elas são estudiosas e também ocupam cargos de liderança. Para a construção desse relato considerou-se a importância dessa ciência, uma breve apresentação das pioneiras na astronomia, a formação da SEASE e o modo como as estudantes organizaram um dos maiores congressos de astronomia do país, o 15º Encontro de Astronomia do Nordeste. Assim, o relato intenciona mostrar que quando mulheres e homens têm as mesmas oportunidades de aprender e de gostar de matemática é mais fácil para eles e para elas a escolha por uma carreira científico-tecnológica. Intenciona mostrar que histórias de mulheres inseridas nas carreiras científico-tecnológicas precisam ser transmitidas para todos a fim de se alcançar a equidade de gênero nas Instituições de Ensino Superior e órgãos de pesquisa, especialmente nas ciências duras.Palavras-chave: Astronomia, Mulheres, Liderança, Gênero.

AS PRÁTICAS EDUCATIVAS DO CORAL DA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE SERGIPE - CORUFS (1970-1990)
Authors: Ferronato Cristiano De Jesus , Dos Santos Elias Souza , Barreto Lucas Wendell De Oliveira
Published: February 2019

Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar as práticas educativas do Corufs no período de 1970 a 1990. Trata-se, então, de uma pesquisa de caráter histórico documental cujo produto, a fonte escrita, é a nossa matéria-prima. As fontes foram analisadas com base em Le Goff (1984), historiador que nos aconselha a desmistificá-las. No decorrer dos seus 47 anos de vida, o Corufs vem executando um repertório que abrange os gêneros erudito e “popular”, sendo que nas duas primeiras décadas de atuação, suas apresentações se deram nos âmbitos local, nacional e internacional. Assim, apesar de os documentos informarem que a música brasileira teria lugar garantido, no repertório, percebemos que, nos folders, a música erudita europeia ocupou o principal lugar.
A method of dimensionality reduction by selection of components in principal component analysis for text classification
Authors: Zhang Yangwu , Li Guohe , Zong Heng
Published: February 2019

Dimensionality reduction, including feature extraction and selection, is one
of the key points for text classification. In this paper, we propose a mixed
method of dimensionality reduction constructed by principal components
analysis and the selection of components. Principal components analysis is a
method of feature extraction. Not all of the components in principal
component analysis contribute to classification, because PCA objective is
not a form of discriminant analysis (see, e.g. Jolliffe, 2002). In this
context, we present a function of components selection, which returns the
useful components for classification by the indicators of the performances
on the different subsets of the components. Compared to traditional methods
of feature selection, SVM classifiers trained on selected components show
improved classification performance and a reduction in computational
overhead.
