Process and Plant Design
No full textThe design of a dairy plant and its associated processes is often an open-ended problem with many possible solutions. Each design solution may have a unique impact on production capacity, process control, safety, environment and economics. In conducting an engineering design project, several requirements relating to the following aspects must be met: 1. Product (raw materials and quality of end product). 2. Process (plant capacity, equipment, controls and cleaning). 3. Economics (cost of production). 4. Legal considerations (regulations relevant to process, equipment and safety).Fil: Singh, R.P..

Automatic building extraction from laser scanning data: an input tool for disaster management
No full textEstimation of damages caused by a disaster is a major task in the post disaster mitigation process. To enhance the relief and rescue operation in the affected area it is required to get a near real time damage model. For this purpose a fast method of data acquisition with suitable methods for extracting the man-made objects is required. Laser scanning data provide the height of the ground objects, which can be used for developing models to extract the man-made features in a complex urban environment. Using the height variation along the periphery of objects present in the data, a method based on standard deviation was developed to distinguish between tree and building. <br/
Heat transfer in meat patties during double-sided cooking
Full text linkA simplified mathematical model was developed to predict the temperature profiles during meat patty cooking by double-sided pan-frying. Conduction was considered the main mechanism for heat transfer, and enthalpy formulation was used to avoid the discontinuity problem of the phase change during melting. The energy involved for vaporizing water was considered using appropriate boundary conditions. The model was solved according to a method based on an explicit finite difference approximation and was validated by comparing predicted and experimental temperature profiles obtained at 163°C and 204°C at the bottom platen and 177°C and 221°C at the top platen, respectively. The experimental and predicted data were in good agreement. The model was used to examine the sensitivity of patty cooking to different process conditions.Fil: Zorrilla, Susana.

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
A new approach to correlate textural and cooking parameters with operating conditions during double-sided cooking of meat patties
Full text linkCooking and textural parameters during double-sided cooking of hamburger patties were correlated with volume-averaged temperature at the end of the cooking process and gap thickness between plates. Frozen patties were cooked in a clamshell grill set at different plate surface temperatures (177C; 191C; 204C; 218C), for different gap thicknesses (9.65 mm; 10.55 mm; 10.55 mm; 11.05 mm) for 120 s. A decrease in the gap thickness and an increase in the plate surface temperature resulted in an increase in the cooking loss values (24–36%) and in a decrease of press juice values (8–25%). The values of peak load (183–215 N), modulus (16–19 N/mm), work needed in shearing (2300–2800 Nmm), hardness (25–32 N), cohesiveness (0.76–0.83), and chewiness (107–152 Nmm) of the patties increased when the gap thickness decreased and the plate surface temperature increased. There was no effect of the variables studied on springiness. The correlation equations involving the operating variables and quality parameters obtained are simple and useful in developing optimal process conditions.Fil: Zorrilla, Susana.

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
