    In recent years, the creation of freshwater shrimps has been highlighted due to the various nutritional benefits of their meat; being the food offered to this animal is an important factor for the quality of their meat. In search of better quality and cost reduction in production, it is remarkable the increase in the search for alternative ingredients added to shrimp feed, among them are the fermented biomass of agro-industrial residues. The general objective of this paper was to study the effect of the supplementation of fermented biomass from red cassava peel (Manihot esculenta) on the body composition and quality of fresh water shrimp meat (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). The animals were supplemented with 0%, 3%, 5% and 10% of fermented biomass in the feed for 50 days and later analyses of the fresh carcass were performed: chemical composition, water activity, titratable acidity, pH, carbonylated protein and fatty acid profile. Were also studied the analysis of pH, TBARS (Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances), volatile bases and fatty acid profile in frozen stored animals, in the initial time, 3, 6 and 9 months of storage. On the chemical composition there were significant differences for lipids, with increased concentration of lipids in treatments 5 and 10% (p<0.05). For the profile of fatty acids in storage, there was a significant difference with an increase in concentration at 3 months of storage, with the beginning of the decrease in this concentration at 6 months and a sharp reduction in concentration at 9 months of storage. The results found indicate that fermented biomass can be added to the feed without damage to the meat, with the advantage of increasing fatty acids, especially polyunsaturated ones that promote several benefits to human health. For the profile of fatty acids in storage, there was a significant difference with an increase in concentration at 3 months of storage, with the beginning of the decrease in this concentration at 6 months and a sharp reduction in concentration at 9 months of storage. The findings indicate that fermented biomass can be added to the feed, without damaging the meat, with the advantage of increasing fatty acids, especially olyunsaturated ones that promote several benefits to human health.Nos ?ltimos anos, a cria??o de camar?es de ?gua doce vem se destacando devido aos diversos benef?cios nutricionais da carne, sendo a alimenta??o ofertada ao animal um fator importante para a qualidade da carne. Em busca de melhor qualidade e redu??o de custos na produ??o, ? not?vel o aumento da busca por ingredientes alternativos adicionados ? ra??o dos camar?es, entre eles est?o a biomassa fermentada de res?duos agroindustriais. O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi estudar o efeito da suplementa??o de biomassa fermentada proveniente de casca da mandioca vermelha (Manihot esculenta) na composi??o corporal e qualidade da carne do camar?o de ?gua doce Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Os animais foram suplementados com 0%, 3%, 5% e 10% de biomassa fermentada na ra??o por 50 dias e posteriormente realizadas an?lises da carca?a fresca: composi??o qu?mica, atividade de ?gua, acidez titul?vel, pH, prote?na carbonilada e perfil de ?cidos graxos. Tamb?m foram realizadas an?lises de pH, TBARS (Subst?ncias reativas ao ?cido tiobarbit?rico), bases vol?teis e perfil de ?cidos graxos em animais armazenados congelados, no tempo inicial, 3, 6 e 9 meses de armazenamento. Sobre a composi??o qu?mica houve diferen?a significativa para lip?deos, com aumento da concentra??o de lip?deos nos tratamentos 5 e 10% (p <0,05) e aumento da concentra??o de ?cidos graxos em animais suplementados com 3% e 5% de biomassa (p<0,05). Para as an?lises de carca?a armazenada, houve aumento de TBARS e bases vol?teis ao longo dos meses de armazenamento, por?m, ainda dentro dos limites recomendados pela legisla??o (p<0,05). Para o perfil de ?cidos graxos no armazenamento, houve diferen?a significativa com aumento da concentra??o nos 3 meses de armazenamento, in?cio da diminui??o desta concentra??o aos 6 meses e redu??o acentuada da concentra??o aos 9 meses de armazenamento. Os resultados encontrados indicam que a biomassa fermentada pode ser adicionada ? ra??o, sem preju?zos ? carne, tendo como vantagem o aumento de ?cidos graxos, principalmente os poliinsaturados que promovem diversos benef?cios a sa?de humana

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
