Fungi Level Analysis of Cocoa Beans Based on Fermentation Box Type and Duration
No full textAbstractIn certain location, it is undeniable that there are qualities variations of fermented cocoa beans depend on processing techniques. In addition, its cocoa bean's production central at Yogyakarta have their specific characteristic own regarding the use of fermentation box (box type). The purpose of this research was to analyze the effects of three types of fermentation box and duration to fungi level of fermented cocoa beans. CRD (completely randomized design) with two factors and three replications is applied as assessment method. The first factor is the type of fermentation box (basket, storey box and single box with a hand crank) and the second factor is the length of fermentation time (3 and 5 days). The result of the research explained that the lowest levels of the fungi achieve within 5 days of fermentation processes. Meanwhile, a single box with a hand crank provide the lowest of fungi's level. Furthermore, the combination of those two results may give the most favorably expected condition of fungi level
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
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
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
Curcuma (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb) diseases in different composition of fertilizer
Get PDFCurcuma or Java Turmeric as traditional medicine has given significant contribution in industrial empowerment. The demand increased, following the increase of food and drink industry based on curcuma. Therefore, extensification and intensification in curcuma cultivation was developed, included variety and fertilizer composition. Combination of chemical and organic fertilizer was used to increase the yield. However, the effect of fertilizer to plant disease intensity should be determined. Based on the observation at month 6th, the dominant diseases were Fusarium wilt, leaf spots caused by Phyllosticta sp., Colletotrichum sp. and Gloeosporium sp. The greatest percentage of Fusarium wilt (11.11%) was found in variety Cursina 1 that received organic fertilizer 10 ton/ha, with disease intensity 60.52%; whilst the lowest percentage (0%) was found in Cursina 2 that received organic fertilizer. The greatest percentage of leaf spot was seen in Cursina 2 that was given organic fertilizer, with disease intensity 41.67%; whilst the lowest percentage was found in Cursina 1 that received the combination of organic fertilizer 10 ton/ha, 100 kg/ha urea, 100 kg/ha KCl, and 100 kg/ha SP-36, with disease intensity 18.06%.Keywords: curcuma, disease, fertilize
Fatty Acid Composition of Cocoa Beans from Yogyakarta Special Region for the Establishment of Geographical Origin Discriminations
Get PDFThe composition of fatty acids in cocoa beans, which affect the characteristics of the processed products, is dependent on the geographic location. This research aimed to identify the fatty acid composition of cocoa beans from the Special Region of Yogyakarta (Patuk Gunungkidul and Kalibawang Kulon Progo), used as a geographical origin discrimination parameter. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Partial Least Square – Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA). The results showed that the composition from Patuk Gunungkidul and Kalibawang Kulon Progo were dominated by stearic (35.23%), oleic (33.12%), and palmitate acids (27%). The developed method combined with PLS-DA was successfully employed the fatty acid composition to discriminate the geographic origin of cocoa beans in the Special Region of Yogyakarta
