Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Elaboração de um refrigerante sabor laranja com adição de isolado proteico de soro de leite
No full textAtualmente o consumidor está bastante preocupado com a saúde, porém não está disposto a comprometer o sabor do alimento a ser consumido, assim o produto deve conter os ingredientes que propiciem o seu “bem-estar”, de modo a garantir os benefícios, sem prejudicar as características sensoriais. Desse modo, foi desenvolvida uma bebida tipo refrigerante sabor laranja com adição de isolado proteico de soro de leite, envasada em PET (Poli Tereftalato de Etileno) e armazenada em temperatura ambiente por 90 dias. Buscou-se estabelecer uma produção simples para ser facilmente adaptável nas linhas de processo de produção de refrigerante tradicional. Foram realizadas periodicamente durante o armazenamento em temperatura ambiente, análises físico-químicas, microbiológicas e sensoriais do produto. Os resultados da análise sensorial tiveram boa aceitabilidade, situando-se entre os termos hedônicos “gostei moderadamente” e “gostei muito”. A análise físico-química apresentou pH 3,53, 11,5 °Bx e 224 mg de ácido cítrico por 100 mL de bebida e com a seguinte composição proximal: proteínas 0,501%, umidade 88,9%, cinzas 0,084% e carboidratos 10,5 %. Durante o período de armazenamento a bebida obteve ausência de micro-organismo. Os resultados mostraram que este produto é estável, quando armazenado em temperatura ambiente por 90 dias. Desse modo, conclui-se que a bebida elaborada constitui uma alternativa na introdução de proteína de soro de leite no refrigerante, assim se tornando uma bebida com o valor nutricional superior e com mesmos valores de calorias comparados com refrigerante e alguns sucos de laranjas encontrados no mercado consumidor.Currently consumers are very concerned about health, but is not willing to compromise the flavor, so the product must contain ingredients that provide your "wellness", to ensure the benefits of the drink without harming the sensory characteristics. Thus, we developed a type soda drink orange flavor with added protein isolate, whey, bottled in PET (poly (ethylene terephthalate)) and stored at room temperature for 90 days. We attempted to establish a production process simple to manufacture easily adaptable refrigerant in process lines. Were performed periodically during storage at room temperature, physico-chemical, microbiological and sensory product. The analysis results showed good sensory acceptability, standing between the hedonic terms "like moderately" and "like very much". The physical-chemical analysis showed pH 3.53, 11.5 °Bx and 224 mg citric acid per 100 ml of beverage and having the following composition hundredth: 0.501% protein, 88.9% moisture, ash 0.084 and carbohydrate 10,5%. During the storage period the beverage obtained absence of micro-organism. The results showed that this product is stable when stored at room temperature for 90 days. Thus, it is concluded that an alternative beverage prepared in the introduction of whey protein in the refrigerant, thereby becoming a beverage with superior nutritional value and with the same amounts of calories compared with refrigerant and some orange juices found in consumer market
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Influência da granulometria do açúcar na textura e cor de biscoitos rosca sabor leite
No full textThe texture and color influence the acquisition, consumption, acceptance and preference biscuits. Some ingredients and stages of process can directly influence these parameters. Sugar is one of the main ingredients used in the formulations biscuits, and the crystal size an important factor in the mass performance and consequently to the texture and color of the product. Having in view that the movement of the sugar in the food industry is carried out usually by pneumatic transport, and the crystals are broken by changing the particle size and consequently interfering with the characteristics of the product. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of pneumatic conveying in particle size and color of crystal sugar and consequent changes in mass behavior and parameters texture and color of thread biscuits flavored milk. For such, particle size and color of crystal sugar analyzes were conducted, as well as the dough analysis and biscuits prepared. The sugar was obtained from three different suppliers, coded as A, B and C, and has been applied in production of dough and biscuits flavored milk thread, in two conditions: before the pneumatic transport (BPT) and after being subjected to pneumatic transport (APT), totaling six different productions of dough and biscuits. All the other ingredients and process conditions were maintained without change in all productions. Through the analysis of particle size was determined the value of mean aperture of sugar crystals and the colorimetric evaluation allowed us to determine the values of color ranges L, a * and b * (Cielab) of sugar. The rheological behavior of cookie dough was evaluated using analysis of consistency stability and hardness. The biscuits thread flavor milk have been subjected to instrumental and sensory analysis (descriptive and affective tests), which were evaluated texture (hardness and fracturability) and color (L, a * and b *). The particle size distribution in the samples of sugar BPT was significantly higher (p< 0.05) than in samples of APT. On the other hand, the analysis of color in the samples of sugar BPT showed brightness lower than in APT (p< 0.05).The hardness of the dough was higher (p <0.05) in samples where the Sugar APT was applied. The biscuit texture (hardness and fracturability) sugar BPT were significantly lower than those produced with APT sugar. The product color APT sugar was higher (p <0.05) in the product with sugar ATP. The PCA showed correlation between instrumental and sensory analysis. According to the results obtained, it was observed that the pneumatic transport directly influences the size and color of sugar, as well as the texture and color of the final product. Thus, it is concluded that the use of crystal sugar submitted to pneumatic transport (APT) in the production of biscuits milk flavor results in products darker, and with greater hardness.A textura e a cor têm influência na aquisição, consumo, aceitação e preferência de biscoitos. Alguns ingredientes e etapas de processo podem influenciar diretamente nestes parâmetros. O açúcar é um dos principais ingredientes utilizados nas formulações de biscoitos, sendo o tamanho, ou diâmetro dos cristais um fator importante para o comportamento da massa e consequentemente para a textura e cor do produto. Tendo em vista que a movimentação do açúcar na indústria de alimentos é realizada geralmente por transporte pneumático,e os cristais são quebrados, alterando a granulometria e consequentemente interferindo nas características do produto. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência do transporte pneumático na granulometria e cor de açúcar cristal e consequentes modificações no comportamento da massa e nos parâmetros textura e cor de biscoitos rosca sabor leite. Para tal, foram realizadas análises de granulometria e cor de açúcar cristal, bem como análises da massa e dos biscoitos elaborados. O açúcar foi obtido de três diferentes fornecedores, codificados como A, B e C, e foi aplicado na produção das massas e dos biscoitos roscas sabor leite em duas condições: antes do transporte pneumático (ATP) e depois de submetido ao transporte pneumático (DTP), totalizando seis produções diferentes de massa e de biscoitos. Todos os demais ingredientes e condições de processo foram mantidas sem alteração em todas as produções. Através da análise de granulometria foi determinado o valor de diâmetro médio dos cristais de açúcar e a avaliação colorimétrica possibilitou determinar os valores dos intervalos de cores L, a* e b* (CIELab) do açúcar. O comportamento reológico da massa de biscoitos foi avaliado através de análise de consistência, estabilidade e dureza. Os biscoitos rosca sabor leite foram submetidos a análises instrumentais e sensoriais (teste descritivo e afetivo), onde foram avaliadas a textura (dureza e fraturabilidade) e cor (L, a* e b*). A granulometria nas amostras de açúcar ATP foi significativamente maior (p<0,05) que nas amostras de DTP. Por outro lado, a análise de cor nas amostras de açúcar ATP apresentou luminosidade menor do que nas DTP (p<0,05). A dureza da massa foi maior (p<0,05) nas amostras onde foi aplicado o açúcar DTP. A textura do biscoito (dureza e a fraturabilidade) com açúcar ATP foram significativamente menores que os produzidos com açúcar DTP. A cor do produto com açúcar DTP foi maior (p<0,05) que no produto com açúcar ATP. A ACP mostrou correlação entre os dados instrumentais e sensoriais. De acordo com os resultados obtidos observou-se que o transporte pneumático influencia diretamente na granulometria e cor do açúcar, bem como na textura e cor do produto final. Sendo assim, conclui-se que a utilização de açúcar cristal submetido ao transporte pneumático (DTP) na produção de biscoitos rosca sabor leite resulta em produtos mais escuros, e com maior dureza
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
