This study focuses on optimization and validation of an Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for simultaneous analysis of 11mycotoxins: Aflatoxin B1, T-2 Toxin, Ochratoxin A, Deoxynivalenol and Zearalenone in wheat matrix. Sample extraction and cleanup procedure is based on a single extraction step using acetonitrile/water/acetic acid mixture...

Today, agrigenomics researchers have a wide variety of technologies at their disposal for collecting genetic information. Array-based approaches to SNP screening have been the method of choice in analyzing and associating traits with regions of the genome for many plants and animals. As sequencing costs continue to decline, new approaches that leverage next-generation sequencing (NGS) technolog...

Seven phthalate (PAEs) and nine organophosphate esters (OPEs) were measured in surface sediments across the Gulf of Lion (NW Mediterranean Sea) at twelve stations characterized by different anthropogenic signatures. ∑PAEs ∑OPEs concentrations ranged from 2 to 766 ng/g DW (av. 196 DW) 4 227 54 DW), respectively. Our analysis potential sources these organic plastic additives suggests that dominan...

In 2007, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care made an investment to support full-time employment for new graduate nurses. This paper describes the collaboration of policy makers and researchers in the creation and implementation of the Nursing Graduate Guarantee (NGG). We provide historical context for the development of the initiative and discuss some of the issues related to its ...

anzali wetland is one of the most important aquatic ecosystems of iran located in south of the caspian sea. this wetland is a habitat for valuable fishes and aquatic animals which have an important role in life cycle of this ecosystem. agroup of the pollutants entering these wetlands is the persistent organic pollutants. this pollutants has a wide range of ingredients in the environment and are...

Genome-scale metabolic reconstructions are typically validated by comparing in silico growth predictions across different mutants utilizing different carbon sources with in vivo growth data. This comparison results in two types of model-prediction inconsistencies; either the model predicts growth when no growth is observed in the experiment (GNG inconsistencies) or the model predicts no growth ...

Growing location is known to affect the metabolite content and functionality of wild harvested fruits. Terminalia ferdinandiana, commonly as Kakadu plum (KP), among most commercially important native Australian bush foods. Therefore, we evaluated composition in vitro bioactivity aqueous acidified ethanol (AAE) water extracts prepared from KP fruit Northern Territory (NT) Western Australia (WA)....

GRIDs technology has developed from first generation, supplier-specific and configurationspecific systems through second generation systems providing metacomputing facilities over various underlying platforms. The 2.5 generation added facilities for fast data transfer (GRIDFTP) and directories (LDAP). The third generation embraced from the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) community the idea of s...
