    The effect of the dipeptide, Lys-Gly, supplement on growth, muscle proteins and PEPT1 gene expression in juvenile yellow perch

    The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of a wheat-gluten-based diet supplemented with the indispensable amino acid source in the form of freeamino acid or dipeptide on growth, intestine oligopeptide transporter, PepT1, transcript levels using real-time RT-PCR, and muscle protein expression in yellow perch Perca flavescens juveniles. Yellow perch (initial size*0.3 g) were randomly distributed into 12 glass aquaria, 60 fish per tank. Fish were fed 4 diets: wheat-gluten based diet supplemented with lysine– glycine dipeptide (LG), wheat-gluten based diet supplemented with free lysine (FL), diet not supplemented with lysine (NL; negative control) and a commercial diet (BO). Fish were fed at 90 % satiation level and the rate was re-adjusted to be equal across all treatments based on each day’s projected change in weight gain. It amounted to 3 % of the biomass per day for the first 14 days and 4–5 % until the end of the experiment. After 55 days of the experiment the mean weight of juvenile yellow perch fed the LG diet was larger compared to the NL diet fed group. There was no difference, however, between LG, FL, and BO groups (1.35 ± 0.11 g; 1.31 ± 0.03; 1.16 ± 0.10 g, respectively). Fish subjected to FL treatment showed an increase in the amount of PepT1 transcripts compared to the NL group value. The LG diet was associated with a significant increase in PepT1 mRNA transcript levels, compared with both FL and NL diets fed fish.We have also cloned and sequenced full-length cDNA representing yellow perch PepT1. The cDNA sequence (Gene- Bank: accession no.GQ906471), encompasses a total of 2,956 base pairs (bp) including a 50-untranslated region of 94 bp, an open reading frame of 2,190 bp, and a 30- untranslated region of 672 bp. The predicted 12 transmembrane domains and the 3D structure of the protein (729 amino acids) are presented. Proteomic fingerprinting showed that thirteen electrophoretically resolved protein/peptide bands from the muscle sarcoplasmic fraction were significantly different across treatments suggesting that muscle protein expression was influenced by dietary treatments

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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
