    This study is aiming at to evaluate economic feasibility of 0.1 ton/day piracui production (fish protein concentrate) of indigenous origin, regionally known as fish flour (fish=PIRA and flour=CUI) of outstanding taste and great durability, prepared by native as food savings in order to compensate the lack of fish at certain seasons. It is industrialized from two Amazonian species: acari-bodó (Liposarcus pardalis) and aruanã (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum). The Fixed Investment in the project was U.S.155,956.33,totalCostofProductionU.S. 155,956.33, total Cost of Production U.S. 190,449.00 per year and total Revenue U.S.288,000.00/yearat8workinghoursperdayduring240daysperyear,beingused140daysforacaribodoˊprocessingand100daysforaruana~processing.Itsreturn(IRR)of34.31 288,000.00/year at 8 working hours per day during 240 days per year, being used 140 days for acari-bodó processing and 100 days for aruanã processing. Its return (IRR) of 34.31% allowed investment recovering in 2.48 years. Its equilibrium point is at the production of 8.11 tons/year, ensuring the company operation using only 33.80% of its productive capacity. Its remarked as direct benefits; better employment opportunities, helping to maintain forest dwellers in their own ancestry places, increasing of foreign income exchange for Amazonian states, encouraging harvesting reduction of endangered species and the increase of high nourishment value food supply. Al these facts shall give this project a technical, social and economic viability.Este estudo avalia a viabilidade econômica da produção de 0,1 ton/dia de Piracui, um concentrado protéico de peixe de origem indígena, conhecido regionalmente como farinha de peixe (PIRA= peixe e CUI= farinha) de ótimo sabor e grande durabilidade, elaborada como reserva alimentar pelos nativos para compensar a falta de pescado em determinadas épocas do ano. Industrializado a partir de duas espécies amazônicas: acari-bodó (Liposarcus pardalis) e aruanã (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum). A Inversão Fixa do projeto foi de US 155,956.33, o Custo total de produção de US190,449.00/anoeaReceitatotaldeUS 190,449.00/ano e a Receita total de US 288,000.00/ano, operando oito horas diárias durante 240 dias/ano, destes 140 processando o acari-bodó e 100 o aruanã. Sua rentabilidade (TIR) de 34,31% permite que o capital investido seja recuperado em 2,48 anos, seu ponto de equilíbrio corresponde à produção de 8,11 ton/ano, garantindo o funcionamento da empresa, sem prejuízos, com uso de apenas 34% de sua capacidade produtiva. Seus benefícios diretos são: aumento da oferta de emprego levada ao homem amazônico em seu local de origem; ingresso de divisas para o Estado; estímulo à redução da pressão de captura de espécies sob risco de extinção e aumento da oferta de alimento de alto valor nutricional. O que classifica este projeto como técnico, social e economicamente viável

    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

    Foi estudada a influência de fatores físicos e químicos na habilidade de formação de redes tridimensionais em géis do músculo de pescado separado mecanicamente ("minced" lavado) e estabilizado ("surimi") durante a estocagem em gelo e congelado bem como a ocorrência de fenômenos de "modori" e "suwari" em diferentes tempos e temperaturas de aquecimento

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We 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
