Determination of enzyme activity, proteinuria and creatininuria in bovine urine
No full textBlood samples were taken just before slaughter and urine samples were taken after slaughter from 67 healthy Italian Friesian cows aged 4-7 years. None of the cows had any clinical or haematological signs of kidney damage, but 46 had macroscopic or histological signs of kidney damage. The remaining 21 animals were used to calculate serum and urine reference values for urea, creatinine, proteins, N-acetyl-glucosaminidase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, lactate dehydrogenase, alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase

No full textA microplate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method was developed for the measurement of bovine immunoglobulin G antibody specific to the envelope antigen (glycoprotein 60) of bovine leukemia virus. The test was then performed on 440 serum samples from dairy cows belonging to herds in which bovine leukemia was suspected or which were leukemia free, and the results were compared with those obtained with the gel-diffusion technique
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
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
