Introduction to Various Fly Ash (Coal & Bio-Coal) Generated from Industrial Operations
Get PDFThis chapter presents the intricate dynamics of fly ash, a byproduct of both coal and bio-coal combustion, which has gained renewed interest for its broad industrial applications. While often seen as mere waste, fly ash embodies distinct chemical properties that hold the potential for transforming conventional industrial processes. The discussion extends beyond typical uses, exploring innovative paths in sustainable applications and environmental management. The nuances in fly ash composition, driven by variations in feedstock and combustion processes, are explored to uncover its role in promoting a circular economy. By discussing the emerging applications of both coal and bio-coal fly ash (BFA), this chapter highlights the evolving relationship between industrial byproducts and sustainable practices. Through this lens, it opens new avenues for rethinking resource efficiency and environmental stewardship, thereby offering a fresh perspective on how fly ash can support more resilient and eco-friendly industrial systems
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
Edible Packaging: Mechanical Properties and Testing Methods
No full textTraditionally people use food packaging materials from nonrenewable sources such as plastics obtained from petroleum. The traditional food packaging materials play a significant role in the total plastics consumption of the world. They are nonbiodegradable, cause environmental pollution, and large carbon adds to water footprint in their manufacturing process. Subsequently, this leads to a heavy dependence on nonrenewable resources. Reducing the amount of nonrenewable material by biodegradable and renewable sources of packaging holds the potential to improve waste disposal and decrease the cost of packaging and overall product. The need for alternatives to petrochemical-based plastics is more than ever. The current trend in food packaging calls for the utilization of natural, “environment-friendly” materials, which also have some additional functional properties wherever possible and with some cost benefit. Biodegradable packaging is a very good alternative packaging and a specialized type of biodegradable packaging, that is, the “edible packaging,” is a very good alternative as they also have some other benefits like enhancing shelf life, maintaining the freshness of foods, and can be eaten along with the food without altering the original organoleptic characteristics of the food. The two main considerations with the use of edible packaging can be understood from its name itself, which are firstly “edible,” it means the package is an integral part of the food and may or may not be consumed together with the product and hence should have all the necessary properties. At present, 12 types of edible films are approved by FDA and commercially used, which are made up of materials like polysaccharides, lipids, cellulose, chitosan, starch (potato, corn, wheat, rice), hemicellulose, hydrocolloids like gums (guar, pectin) and alginates, and plant and animal proteins. Secondly, the material chosen should have all the properties to protect the food from the outer environment, provide a good barrier against light, water vapor, other gases, and also have the required mechanical strength to protect the food against damages incurred during storage, transportation, and handling
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
Expression proteomics of acute promyelocytic leukaemia cells treated with methotrexate
No full textMethotrexate was first introduced as a cytotoxic agent that inhibits nucleotide biosynthesis in various cancer disorders: its molecular mechanism remains elusive. To understand the molecular mechanism by which methotrexate induces apoptosis, we analyzed the resulting intracellular protein changes in methotrexate-treated acute promyelocytic leukaemia (HL-60) cells by cysteine-labeled differential in-gel electrophoresis (CL-DIGE) combined with mass spectrometry. Initial CL-DIGE analysis revealed that 24 proteins were differentially expressed (p < 0.05) in the HL-60 cell proteome after treatment with 2.5 mu M methotrexate for 72 h. We found that three structural alpha 4, alpha 5, alpha 7 proteasome subunits, a non-catalytic beta 3 and two 26S regulatory proteasome subunits were down-regulated in methotrexate-treated HL-60 cells. Western blot analyses further showed that the inhibition of proteasome subunits is accompanied by suppression of NF-kappa B subunits and promotes the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins. Furthermore, methotrexate activated unfolded protein response by inducing the expression of endoplasmic reticulum-resident proteins such as calreticulin, protein disulphide isomerase A3 and A4, and 78 kDa glucose regulated protein in a time-dependent manner. Altogether, our findings demonstrated that targeting NF-kappa B, structural and regulatory proteasome subunits with methotrexate may provide new insight into understanding methotrexate-induced apoptotic activities in HL-60 cells.
