    Allium sativum L extraction using microwave hydrodistillation (MHD) was chosen as one of the techniques for becoming a safer and greener technology. The yield of garlic oil obtained by MHD using water as solvent. The optimization was designed by response surface methodology (RSM) to evaluate and analyze the effect parameters of raw material mass, microwave power, and extraction time. The highest yield was found in 100 g, 450 W, and 90 min of 0.1392% based on experimental data. In addition, RSM using the quadratic model predicted that optimal condition at 88.09 g, 474.94 W, and 99.53 min was 0.1430%, respectively. An ANOVA analysis resulted in a p-value of less than 0.05 with a high determination coefficient (R2 = 0.9971). It indicates that this model gives a significant response and has good accuracy. Furthermore, the error rates between experimental data and the predicted model were less than 5%. The model obtained from optimization is close to the reability runs and could be explained for correlating the yield of garlic oil with parameter conditions using optimization

    Initially, zeolite catalysts cannot be used for reactions involving hot liquid water, so it is necessary to modify the zeolite to be stable under these conditions. The synthesis of HY and hydrophobic zeolites aimed to determine the stability of zeolite in hot liquid water (HLW). The stability of zeolite in HLW is related to zeolite hydrophobicity. In this study, the main raw materials for the synthesis of HY zeolite were sodium aluminate (NaAlO2) and Ludox HS-40 by calcining the product at 350 oC for 1 hour. Furthermore, increasing the hydrophobicity of HY zeolite was carried out by modifying the external zeolite surface using organosilanes (aminopropyltriethoxysilane). The stability of two zeolites in HLW was set at 200 oC. Zeolite analysis used physical test and Fourier Transform-Infra Red (FTIR) Spectrometer. The results of the zeolite distribution in two phases confirmed that HY zeolite was completely dispersed in the water phase, while the zeolite one was dispersed in the organic phase. Moreover, the IR spectra of HY zeolite showed that the wide peak detection at wave number 720 cm-1 for beginning to disappear. This means that the HLW condition could be damaged to the d6r unit. Another result was shown by hydrophobic zeolite spectra with a stable peak for 72 hours. This indicates that the hydrophobic zeolite has thermal stability in HLW so that it can be used in chemical reaction catalytic applications that use on phase

    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

    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

    Garam merupakan salah satu kebutuhan yang merupakan pelengkap dari kebutuhan pangan dan merupakan sumber elektrolit bagi tubuh manusia. Walaupun Indonesia termasuk negara maritim, namun usaha meningkatkan produksi garam belum diminati, termasuk dalam usaha meningkatkan kualitasnya. Proses pemurnian ini secara garis besar dilakukan dengan tiga tahap: tahap pertama (koagulasi), yaitu dengan menambahkan ion dengan muatan yamg berlawanan agar menimbulkan destabilisasi partikel koloid sehingga lapisan difusi akan mengecil dan memungkinkan bekerjanya gaya tarik menarik antar partikel. Koagulannya adalah PAC dan penambahan NaOH dan Na2CO3 yang ditambahkan ke dalam larutan garam dan dilakukan pengadukan. Na2CO3 ditambahkan terlebih dahulu sebelum NaOH.Tahap kedua (flokulasi), dengan penambahan flokulan untuk membentuk flok-flok yang lebih besar dan lebih berat, akibatnya densitas padatan yang terbentuk menjadi lebih besar dan laju pengendapan menjadi naik. Flokulasi dilakukan dengan pengadukan lambat untuk mencegah pecahnya flok tersebut. Tahap ketiga (sedimentasi), semua flok-flok yang terbentuk akan turun ke dasar wadah memisahkan diri dari larutan dengan percepatan maksimum padatan sesuai konsentrasinya Tahap keempat (Filtrasi), yaitu dengan melewatkan fluida yang telah terpisah dari endapannya pada medium penyaringan. Kadar NaCl terbaik pada garam hasil rekristalisasi adalah penambahan koagulan PAC 15 ppm. Kadar ini telah memenuhi SNI 06-0303-1989 sebesar (98,5% d.b) untuk kualitas garam industri soda elektrolisis. ===================================================================================================== Salt is one requirement that is complementary to the needs of food and a source of electrolytes to the human body. Although Indonesia is a maritime country, but the effort to increase the production of salt is not desirable, including in an effort to improve its quality. This purification process is broadly done in three phases: the first phase (coagulation), by adding ion with a charge opposite yamg that cause destabilization of colloidal particles so that the diffusion layer will shrink and allow the operation of attractive forces between the particles. Koagulannya is PAC and the addition of NaOH and Na2CO3 were added to the saline solution and stirring. Na2CO3 was added prior to the second NaOH. Part of (flocculation), with the addition of flocculant to form a floc-floc larger and heavier, consequently density solids that formed became larger and the deposition rate to be increased. Flocculation carried out with slow stirring to prevent the outbreak of the floc. The third stage (sedimentation), all formed floc-floc will drop to the bottom of the container broke away from the solution with maximum acceleration corresponding solids concentration fourth stage (Filtration), namely by passing the fluid that has been separated from the sediment at the filtering medium. From the experiment result are obtained as follows, the highest mass result PAC coagulant addition of 15 ppm. These levels have fulfilled SNI 06-0303-1989 of (98.5% db) to the quality of industrial salt soda electrolysi

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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
