Water Quality in Surface Water: A Preliminary Assessment of Heavy Metal Contamination of the Mashavera River, Georgia
(2018-03-23)
Water quality contamination by heavy metal pollution has severe effects on public health. In the Mashavera River Basin, an important agricultural area for the national food system in Georgia (e.g., vegetable, dairy and wine production), water contamination has multiple influences on the regional and country-wide health. With new industrial activities in the region, sediment extraction, and discharge of untreated wastewater into the river, its tributaries and irrigation canals, a comprehensive study of water quality ...

Factors influencing consumers’ gaze and purchase behavior for food products labeled with nutrition and health claims
(2019-11)
Short Summary:
The labeling of food products with a nutrition or a health claim is a widespread practice in the EU. These claims are short sentences on the front of food packages which highlight positive nutritional characteristics or beneficial health effects for the body. Research on nutrition and health claims shows a lack of consensus on whether these claims have a positive or a negative effect on consumers’ preferences and purchase behavior. Therefore, the research objective of this dissertation was to investigate ...

Applying Least Absolute Shrinkage Selection Operator and Akaike Information Criterion Analysis to Find the Best Multiple Linear Regression Models between Climate Indices and Components of Cow’s Milk
(MDPI, 2016-07-23)
This study focuses on multiple linear regression models relating six climate indices (temperature humidity THI, environmental stress ESI, equivalent temperature index ETI, heat load HLI, modified HLI (HLI new), and respiratory rate predictor RRP) with three main components of cow’s milk (yield, fat, and protein) for cows in Iran. The least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO) and the Akaike information criterion (AIC) techniques are applied to select the best model for milk predictands with the smallest ...
