Annual and regional variations of aflatoxin B1 levels seen in grains and feed coming from Croatian dairy farms over a 5-year period

The aim of the study was to investigate annual and regional differences in the level of aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) in grains and dairy cattle feed. Maize (n = 972), wheat (n = 201), barley (n = 147), oat (n = 136), grain mixtures (n = 168), and dairy cattle feed (n = 325) were sampled from 2009 to 2013 on different farms and in different farm factories situated in four Croatian regions. The samples were analysed for AFB₁ using the validated ELISA immunoassay. AFB₁ was determined in 16.4% of all investigated samples, among which maize was proven to be the most contaminated, with 21.7% of the samples recovered during 2013 harbouring AFB₁ in concentrations over the permissible ones. Levels higher than permitted were observed in 17.9% and 12.3% of grain mixtures and dairy cattle feed, respectively, whereas concentrations of AFB₁ determined in other crops throughout the investigated period met the stipulated requirements. The results revealed the AFB₁ occurrence to be significantly (p < 0.05) dependent on the cultivation region, with the highest levels generally found in maize harvested in 2013 and consequently in grain mixtures and cattle feed that can most likely be associated with climatic conditions as the most critical factor for mould formation, and thus also AFB₁ production.     

应用烃类直接检测技术预测天然气藏

柴达木盆地位于青藏高原北部，是中国大型含油气盆地之一，历经４０年的勘探，发现了丰富的油气资源。柴达木盆地东部地区是第四纪沉降与沉积中心，区内第二系生储气岩厚度大、分布广、第四纪新构造运动形成的同生沉积构造发育、保存完整、具有形成大中型天然气田的地质条件。此外，由于该地区含气地层时代新、埋藏浅、成岩与胶结作用差、含气层厚度大、孔渗性好，加之构造条件简单，人文干扰小、是应用烃直接检测技术寻找天然气的有     

南水北调东线调水区及受水区降水径流变化特征

为给南水北调工程规划与运行提供科学依据,基于比《南水北调工程总体规划》制定水平年更加完整的水文观测数据识别2001年以来工程区降水、径流变化特征,采用Mann-Kendall趋势检验、小波分析等方法分析了比较期(2001—2016年)相对于基准期(1956—2000年)的降水、径流统计特性差异和变化特征。结果表明：相对于基准期,比较期调水区降水量变化不明显,长江大通水文站天然径流量下降3.5%,调水区水资源条件较为稳定;比较期受水区降水量较基准期基本无变化,天然径流量较基准期上升3.9%,但山东省、河北省和天津市受水区天然径流量下降6.6%,3省市天然径流量呈明显衰减态势。     

Exploring entrepreneurship in the academic environment

The entrepreneurial university has taken a prodigious influence globally, and studies show the expedient value of entrepreneurship in universities performing innumerable activities alongside their main objectives of teaching and research. Universities worldwide are adopting entrepreneurship teaching through creating models and methods. Collaboration of research, industry, and government entities is crucial to fulfill innovative systems in the academic environment. This study evaluates academic faculty and their impact on entrepreneurial education by focusing on their work experience, position, involvement in technical projects, international work experience, and private sector experience. Analysis of Variances (ANOVA), Least Significant Difference (LSD) assessments are conducted to support the results of our hypotheses and the variables of the entrepreneurial education impact by understanding the interpersonal aspects of faculty within academic organizations.     

Spatial and temporal variability of macrophyte cover and productivity in the eastern Amazon floodplain: A remote sensing approach

Herbaceous aquatic macrophytes cover extensive areas on the floodplains of the Amazon basin and are an important habitat and input of organic carbon. These communities have large intra- and inter-annual variability, and characterization of this variability is necessary to quantify the role of macrophytes in the ecology and biogeochemistry of the floodplain. A novel approach for mapping the temporal evolution of aquatic vegetation in the Amazon floodplain, which could be adapted to other spatially and temporally changing environments, is presented. Macrophyte cover varied seasonally and inter-annually, ranging between 104 and 198 km² for the floodplain examined (total area, 984 km²). The observed evolution of plant distribution indicated a spatial and temporal partition of macrophyte communities into short-lived and annual groups. A simulation of macrophyte net primary production (NPP) based on the mapping results indicated that at least 3% of NPP could be attributed to the short-lived communities. The present results suggest that significant changes in the macrophyte's contribution to carbon cycling in the Amazon floodplain could occur as a result of the predicted increase in frequency of drought years for the Amazon system due to climate change.
