The Chemical And Organoleptic Analysis Of The Sago-based Snacks As Additional Food For Diabetes Mellitus Patients
Full text linkSago is one of Indonesia\u27s native food plants that produce sago starch (Metrox-ylon sago Rottb.) which can be processed into food. It also uses as a source of amylose and amylopectin in a snack consumed by people with diabetes mellitus (DM). This is possible because of the glycemic index (GI) value of sago starch. This research was carried out experimentally and divided into two major activities, namely making snacks and characterization. Making snacks following the formulation of A, B, C, and D code, where A and B code are for the snack made from sago, whereas C and D code are for comparison. Characterization was running in terms of proximate analysis and organoleptic tests. The first analysis shows that sago-based snacks have the potential as a meal for people with diabetes mellitus because they have low reduced sugar levels that range from of 0 to 49%. However, the snacks are rich in protein, carbohydrates, and energy. Organoleptic tests also showed that color, taste, texture, and aroma were favored by panelists.Keywords: Sago Starch, Formulations, Snacks, Diabetes Mellitu
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
Appropriate 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
PRODUKSI GULA PEREDUKSI DARI AMPAS SAGU (Metroxylon sp.) MENGGUNAKAN METODE HIDROLISIS ASAM SELAMA 30 MENIT
Full text linkProduction of Reducing Sugar from Sago Dregs (Metroxylon Sp.) Using Acid Hydrolysis Method for 30 Minutes. Thesis majoring in Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Cenderawasih University.Until now, sago dregs have not been widely used, so a lot of the waste is disposed of without processing it first. This sago pulp contains quite high starch where the starch is strongly bound to cellulose (cellulose and glucose). Cellulose contained in sago pulp can be converted into glucose. The  purpose  of  this  study was  to  determine  the  level  of  reducing  sugar  produced  by the hydrolysis process of sago pulp and to compare based on the hydrolysis time (30.60.90 minutes), after being analyzed quantitatively with the DNS method to determine glucose levels. The results showed that the hydrolysis time of 30 minutes resulted in an average glucose level of 0.1179 mg/mL. Keywords: Hydrolysis, Sago Dregs, Reducing uga
Evaluating of Several Parameters in Marine Chlorella sp. Flocculation Process, and Biodiesel Production via Chlorophyll-Extracted Microalgal Biomass (CEMB)
Full text linkThe screening for a high efficient method in harvesting microalgae is an important step to a large scale microalgal biodiesel production. Magnesium salt (MgSO4·7H2O) concentration of 0.0083 gram per litter of marine Chlorella sp. culture with biomass concentration of 3.78 g/L showed the highest flocculation efficiency (FE) of 94.63% at pH of 11 after only 10 minutes of flocculation time. There was no any difference of FE between two different volumes of culture, after 10 minutes of flocculation. Keywords: Chu 13, flocculation efficiency, magnesium salt, marine Chlorella sp.,        photoautotroph, rapid harvestin
