Permselective and Enzyme-Entrapping Behaviours of an Electropolymerized, Non-Conducting, poly(o-Aminophenol) Thin Film-Modified Electrode: A Critical Study Biosensors & Bioelectronics
No full textNon-conducting polymeric films synthesised by the electrooxidation of o-aminophenol on a platinum electrode in acetate or phosphate buffer displayed an interesting permselective behaviour, which proved valuable in minimising the electrochemical interferences from ascorbate, acetaminophen, cysteine and urate sample molecules in amperometric detection mode. The electrosynthesis of poly(o-aminophenol) film showed also useful as permselective membrane for enzyme immobilization as demonstrated by the production of an interference-free glucose oxidase biosensor. In this respect, the glucose response time, t0.95, evaluated in batch addition experiments, was lower than 5 s while the calibration curve was linear up to 10 mM of glucose with a sensitivity of 69.7 nA/mM. Both the permselective behaviour and the enzyme-entrapping property of the film were critically compared with the relevant studies until now reported. With respect to the sophisticated but complex approaches described elsewhere, this study shows that simply a proper optimization of p(oAP) electrosynthesis and its permselective behaviour is the key to improve significantly the selectivity of the resulting analytical devices
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

No full textVariations 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

No full textA microdialysis fibre based sampler for flow injection analysis: Determination of L-lactate in biofluids by an electrochemically synthesised bilayer membrane based biosensor
No full textA microdialysis fibre based, low volume sampler is described which can be used in flow injection analysis (FIA) when an on-line dilution of the sample and/or removal of high molecular weight interferents is required. This device used in combination with a lactate amperometric biosensor based on lactate oxidase electrochemically immobilised in a bilayer membrane of poly(o-phenylendiamine) and overoxidized poly(pyrrole) permits the extension of the linear range of response up to 10 mM lactate. Combining microdialysis sampling with FIA and amperometric detection at an interference-free and fast-response biosensor, lactate determination in complex media such as serum, milk and yoghurt can be easily achieved with a high sample throughput and no sample pre-treatment

No full textAppropriate 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
