Fungal Infection

Rapid and sensitive UHPLC-MS/MS methods for dietary sample analysis of 43 mycotoxins in China total diet study.

INTRODUCTION: Mycotoxins are toxic metabolites produced by fungi that commonly contaminate foods. As recommended by the World Health Organization, total diet study (TDS) is the most efficient and effective way to estimate the dietary intakes of certain chemical substances for general populations. It requires sensitive and reliable analytical methods applicable to a wide range of complex food matri...

Application of Neural Network Model Based on Multispecies Evolutionary Genetic Algorithm to Planning and Design of Diverse Plant Landscape.

In order to explore the feasibility of applying neural network model to landscape planning, based on the multispecies evolutionary genetic algorithm, a neural network model is proposed in this paper for the system design of diverse plant landscape planning. From the perspective of plant species diversity, this paper discusses landscape planning based on a neural network model. This landscape plan ...
