The AFLATOX® Project: Approaching the Development of New Generation,Natural-Based Compounds for the Containment of the Mycotoxigenic Phytopathogen Aspergillus flavus and Aflatoxin Contamination

The control of the fungal contamination on crops is considered a priority by the sanitary authorities of an increasing number of countries, and this is also due to the fact that the geographic areas interested in mycotoxin outbreaks are widening. Among the different pre- and post-harvest strategies that may be applied to prevent fungal and/or aflatoxin contamination, fungicides still play a prominent role; however, despite of countless efforts, to date the problem of food and feed contamination remains unsolved, since the essential factors that affect aflatoxins production are various and hardly to handle as a whole. In this scenario, the exploitation of bioactive natural sources to obtain new agents presenting novel mechanisms of action may represent a successful strategy to minimize, at the same time, aflatoxin contamination and the use of toxic pesticides. The Aflatox^® Project was aimed at the development of new-generation inhibitors of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus spp. proliferation and toxin production, through the modification of naturally occurring molecules: a panel of 177 compounds, belonging to the thiosemicarbazones class, have been synthesized and screened for their antifungal and anti-aflatoxigenic potential. The most effective compounds, selected as the best candidates as aflatoxin containment agents, were also evaluated in terms of cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and epi-genotoxicity to exclude potential harmful effect on the human health, the plants on which fungi grow and the whole ecosystem.

氢化物发生-原子荧光光谱法测定铬矿中砷

铬矿中砷的测定方法对完善铬矿检测方法和质量评价手段有重要意义。在0.5 g样品中加入2 g过氧化钠,于650 ℃熔融20 min,熔融物经盐酸酸化溶解,以10%盐酸为载流,15 g/L硼氢化钾溶液为还原剂,采用氢化物发生-原子荧光光谱法(HG-AFS)进行测定,建立了铬矿中砷测定的新方法。实验表明,砷质量浓度在0.025～100 μg/L范围内与荧光强度呈线性关系,相关系数为1.000 0,方法检出限为0.05 μg/g,定量限为0.17 μg/g。对产地为南非、土耳其、巴基斯坦等19个国家共2 649个铬矿样品的成分进行统计,发现铬矿主要成分为铬、铁、镁、铝和硅;干扰试验表明,这些样品中的共存元素均不干扰测定。按照实验方法对3个不同砷含量的铬矿样品进行精密度和加标回收试验,结果的相对标准偏差(RSD,n=11)为1.4%～6.0%,回收率为96%~109%。将实验方法应用于与铬矿基体近似的铁矿标准物质中砷的测定,测定值与认定值基本一致。

PRAND: GPU accelerated parallel random number generation library: Using most reliable algorithms and applying parallelism of modern GPUs and CPUs

The library PRAND for pseudorandom number generation for modern CPUs and GPUs is presented. It contains both single-threaded and multi-threaded realizations of a number of modern and most reliable generators recently proposed and studied in Barash (2011), Matsumoto and Tishimura (1998), L’Ecuyer (1999,1999), Barash and Shchur (2006) and the efficient SIMD realizations proposed in Barash and Shchur (2011). One of the useful features for using PRAND in parallel simulations is the ability to initialize up to 10¹⁹${10}^{19}$ independent streams. Using massive parallelism of modern GPUs and SIMD parallelism of modern CPUs substantially improves performance of the generators.
