Preparation of fructooligosaccharides using Aspergillus niger 6640 whole-cell as catalyst for bio-transformation
No full textFructooligosaccharides (FOS) have received particular interest because of their biological and functional properties as dietary fibres and their potential utilization as prebiotic compounds. In this research FOS were produced from sucrose using dried Aspergillus niger CGMCC 6640 mycelia containing β-fructofuranosidas (FFases) as a whole-cell catalyst. To support production of FOS bio-transformed by A. niger 6640, the effects of production parameters on the bio-transformation of sucrose as substrate were investigated using HPLC. It was established that the whole-cell and sucrose content positively affected the maximum FOS yield. However, the CaCl₂ content in the biocatalysts media negatively affected FOS yield. When the content of whole-cell biocatalysts was 60 g/L, the sucrose content was 600 g/L, 314.60 g/L of absolute content of FOS was obtained and the relative percentage was 51.11% at pH 7.0, 33 °C for 40 h. Results demonstrate that the whole-cell biocatalyst of A. niger 6640 can produce FOS effectively. The enzyme protein was extracted and purified, the molecular weight of β-fructofuranosidase from A. niger 6640 was around 75 kDa by SDS-PAGE. In summary, production FOS using the whole-cell mixture as biocatalyst was feasible and promised industrial application prospects
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
