Effects of tomato extract on cytokine profile of human peripheral blood mononuclear Cells (PBMCs)
No full textObjective: This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of the addition of tomato extract (TE) on cytokine production.
Conclusion: In the in vitro system performed in this study, a physiological amount of α-tocopherol (20μM) and the corresponding level of lycopene from tomato have shown to be able to produce an anti-inflammatory effect.Inst. de BiotecnologíaFil: Godoy, Maria Fernanda.

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
High‐pressure processing of persimmon purée: Stability during chilled storage
No full textThe aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of the high pressure (HP) technology on the preservation of persimmon purée during chilled storage (1, 30, and 90 days at 4 ± 1 °C). Results showed that the treatment at 400 MPa for 1 min was enough to eliminate the microbial counts and no regrowth was observed during storage. Physicochemical parameters, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant capacity were not affected by HP and were kept stable during storage. The mechanical and rheological properties were not affected by HP treatments at 500 and 600 MPa, preserving these properties during storage. The HP treatments were not able to effectively preserve the chromatic parameters and achieve the complete inhibition of the enzyme´s activity. The conditions that achieved the best preservation of the quality properties was 600 MPa for 5 min.Fil: Rodriguez, Anabel. Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria (INTA).

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
Omega-3 fortified yogurt and ITS influence on plasma lipid profile in an animal model
Get PDFPoster y resumenRegular intake of omega-3 fatty acids (O–3FAs) improves human health helping to reduce chronic noncommunicable diseases among others. Dairy products are a complex mixture of various nutrients and other components that together form the "food matrix". Yogurt is a semi-solid matrix with oxidative stability, though it is a suitable vehicle for transporting polyunsaturated fatty acids. Enriched O–3FAs yogurts are a value-added strategy to ingest them. The objective was to analyze the effect of O–3FAs yogurt intake on plasma fatty acids profile of mice.
In the context of a balanced diet, the fortified yogurt is a good vehicle to improve plasma lipids profile by increasing EPA which has beneficial effects such as antiatherosclerotic and anti-inflammatory properties.La ingesta regular de ácidos grasos omega-3 (O-3FA) mejora la salud humana y ayuda a reducir las enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles, entre otras. Los productos lácteos son una mezcla compleja de varios nutrientes y otros componentes que juntos forman la "matriz alimentaria". El yogur es una matriz semisólida con estabilidad oxidativa, aunque es un vehículo adecuado para el transporte de ácidos grasos poliinsaturados. Los yogures enriquecidos con O-3FA son una estrategia de valor añadido para ingerirlos. El objetivo fue analizar el efecto de la ingesta de yogur O-3FA sobre el perfil de ácidos grasos plasmáticos de ratones. En el contexto de una dieta equilibrada, el yogur fortificado es un buen vehículo para mejorar Perfil de lípidos plasmáticos al aumentar la EPA, que tiene efectos beneficiosos como antiateroscleróticos y propiedades antiinflamatorias.Instituto de Investigación Tecnología de Alimentos (ITA)Fil: Diaz, Gabriela Esther.

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
