Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Horsemastership part 3: international perspectives of its therapeutic value
No full textIn previous opinion articles written by the authors, it has been proposed that horsemastership is an effective medium for therapy and education for young adults with additional needs. However, the existing research to support this proposal is informal and limited. Therefore, the first author carried out an international piece of research into the value of horsemastership to this group of people. A questionnaire using both quantitative and qualitative methods was completed by 21 professionals of various disciplines and countries who used horsemastership for therapeutic and educational purposes. This article gives a brief description of the methodology, including justification for the design selected, and discusses the relevance and implications of the results of this study. To pull together the three articles written by the authors, a final conclusion on the value of horsemastership to people with additional needs is drawn.<br/
Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)

Análisis de la viabilidad de un sistema de captura de agua y su almacenamiento para uso en el beneficiado húmedo en la Cooperativa de Caficultores de Pilangosta R.L., del cantón de Hojancha, Guanacaste
No full textProyecto de graduación (licenciatura en ingeniería agrícola)--Universidad de Costa Rica. Facultad de Ingeniería. Escuela de Ingeniería Agrícola, 2016El sistema de captación de agua de lluvia de los techos es una medida que brinda la posibilidad al beneficio Coopepilangosta R.L., ubicado en Hojancha, Costa Rica que es una zona catalogada dentro de los 15 cantones del país con mayor vulnerabilidad en el recurso hídrico y que en la cosecha 2014-2015 consumió un volumen de agua total de 1.395 m3 de contar con una fuente de agua disponible a utilizar en el proceso. A su vez puede considerarse como una herramienta para la adaptación a los efectos del cambio climático, principalmente, debido a que se disminuye el uso de las fuentes convencionales de agua como lo son pozos y ríos. Asimismo, permite al beneficio ser una industria autosuficiente en su consumo de agua. Con base en lo anterior y conociendo que en el beneficiado húmedo se consumen volúmenes altos de agua, se midió que el beneficio Coopepilangosta R.L., consumió un volumen de agua total de 1.395 m3 , para el procesamiento de 3.244 fanegas, para un consumo de 430 l/ff. Utilizando como fuente de agua para el proceso sus dos fuentes actuales como lo es una naciente y un pozo, que presentan disminución en el volumen de agua disponible en los últimos años. Al implementar el sistema de captación del agua de lluvia, se determinó que en el caso más crítico de sequía en la zona, que es con la afectación del ¿Fenómeno El Niño¿, se puede recolectar el agua necesaria para procesar el 39 % de la cosecha 2014-2015. Contando con un reservorio con revestimiento de geomembrana y una cubierta superior de sarán de doble capa; esto con una probabilidad y certeza del 95 % de obtener la precipitación de 1.030 mm, además estimando solo la utilización del 50 % del área de techos del beneficio, por lo que su implementación aprovechando mayor área de techos aumentaría su viabilidad. Por consiguiente, en el sistema de cosecha de agua de lluvia propuesto, se incluyen accesorios de limpieza como los interceptores de primeras aguas...UCR::Docencia::Ingeniería::Facultad de Ingeniería::Escuela de Ingeniería de Biosistema
Hydrophobicity in polysaccharide gelation
No full textThe role of hydrophobic substituents on the gelation mechanism of highly esterified pectin
and the cellulose derivatives methylcellulose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) has
been explored by monitoring the behaviour of the amphiphilic polysaccharides in varying
combinations of an ethylene glycoVwater solvent.
The gelling ability (mechanical spectroscopy, visual observation) of very highly esterified
(- 100%) pectin in high concentrations of ethylene glycol (>60%) is greatly reduced,
however, the polymer still undergoes conformational ordering (CD, OR). A model for gel
formation involving a two stage process has been proposed, comprising adoption of the
ordered structure stabilised by hydrogen bonding between OH groups of contiguous
polysaccharide chains, followed by (or coincident with) aggregation of the ordered
sequences by 'hydrophobic' clustering of the fundamental structural subunits to form the
three dimensional gel network. It has been found that ethylene glycol promotes the fIrst stage
(ordering) but is antagonistic to the second (aggregation).
The reversibility (mechanical spectroscopy) of the thermo-gelling cellulose derivatives can be
largely abolished in the presence of ethylene glycol (40% for methylcellulose, 10% for
HPMC) , attributed to solubilisation of the proposed ordered 'bundle' structure at low
temperatures removing the enthalpic advantage (DSC) of gel melting. The increased
sensitivity of HPMC to modification of the solvent environment is due to the presence of the
polar hydroxypropyl substituent causing an inceptive destabilisation of the 'bundle' structure.
It is suggested that gelation is driven by the entropic advantage of melting-out 'cages' of
structured water surrounding the hydrophobic groups giving rise to intermolecular
'hydrophobic' aggregation
