fujikuroi, F. nygamai and F. verticillioides. Higher LODs were found for other LAMP positive species. Apart from pure genomic DNA, the LAMP assay detected fumonisin-producers when 103 conidia/reaction were used as template after mechanical lysis. LAMP-results were well correlated with FB1 production. This is the first report on fumonisin production in strains of F. annanatum, F. coicis, F. mundagurra, F. newnesense, F. pininemorale, F. sororula, F. see more tjataeba, F. udum and F. werrikimbe. Usefulness of the LAMP assay was demonstrated by analyzing fumonisin contaminated maize grains. The new LAMP assay is rapid, sensitive and reliable for the diagnosis of typical fumonisin producers and can be a versatile tool in HACCP concepts that target the reduction of fumonisins in the food and feed chain. The aim of the present study was to perform the first assessment of the abundance and classification of marine debris as well as determine the sources, transport and fate of this debris on an urbanized coast with multiple human activities. More than 80% of the marine debris was composed of synthetic materials. The beached marine debris was classified according to size. Meso-debris accounted for the highest portion of contamination (55%), followed by macro-debris (25.1%) and small debris (19.9%). Contamination by debris, such as cotton swabs (31%) and lollipop sticks (36.8%) accounted for the largest portion of the small debris class. Human recreational activities were the predominant source of debris, followed by navigation/fishing activities, domestic activities and industrial/port activities. The assessment of the predominance of human activities and the results of the model revealed a larger contribution of debris from recreational activities on nearby beaches on the small to larger scale and that rivers exert less of an influence due to the fact that they do not flow the entire year. Insulating strategies are indispensable for laboratory-scale composting reactors, however, current insulation methods interfere with the aerobic fermentation behaviors related to composting. To address this issue, a centre-oriented real-time temperature compensation strategy was designed in this study. Five 9 L reactors (R1-R5) with different insulation strategies were used for the co-composting of dewatered sludge and Phragmites australis and compared. The process performance was assessed by monitoring the temperature, O2 and CO2 emissions, the physical-chemical properties of the composting materials were evaluated by measuring the organic matter (OM), carbon nitrogen ratio (C/N), pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectra. And a 16S rDNA analysis was used to quantify the evolution of bacterial community. The main findings are as follows. Compared with R1 as a control, the insulating strategies can increase the maximum temperature and prolong the thermophilic phase of composting. Comparing R1 and R3 showed that real-time temperature compensation can better restore the real fermentation of the compost. The results showed that R5 had the best composting effect, reaching 69.8 °C, which was 25.1%, 29.7%, 19.3%, and 17.3% higher than R1, R2, R3, and R4, respectively, and remaining in the thermophilic phase for 4.24 d, which is 1.4, 1.5, 1.3, and 0.2 times longer than R1, R2, R3, and R4, respectively. Furthermore, it can significantly reduce the temperature difference between the centre and edge of the reactor, which improved the composting material allocation efficiency and composting process control accuracy, further providing a basis for the actual full-scale composting operation. Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are small, non-enveloped, doublestranded DNA viruses. Over 200 subtypes of HPV have been identified, organized into five major genera. β-HPVs are a group of approximately 50 HPV subtypes that preferentially infect cutaneous sites. While α-HPVs are primarily responsible for genital lesions and mucosal cancers, growing evidence has established an association between β-HPVs and the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas. Given this association, the development of a vaccine against β-HPVs has become an important topic of research; however, currently licensed vaccines only provide coverage for genital HPVs, leaving β-HPV infections and their associated skin cancers unaddressed. In this review, we summarize the current advances in β-HPV vaccine development, including progress made in preclinical testing and limited clinical data. We also discuss novel findings in the viral pathomechanisms involved in β-HPV cutaneous tumorigenesis that may play a large role in future vaccine development. We hope that synthesizing the available data and advances surrounding β- HPV vaccine development will not only lead to increased dedication to vaccine development, but also heightened awareness of a future vaccine among clinicians and the public. The blue color of butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) was extracted by Milli-Q water and evaluated for selective detection of bisulphate (HSO4-) ions. The stability of the Clitoria ternatea extract was established by UV-visible and fluorescence techniques. The blue water extract from Clitoria ternatea selectively recognizes HSO4- ions over various anions via a distinct visual color change from blue to purple with a significant hypsochromic shift of 68 nm in the UV-visible absorption spectra. Thus Clitoria ternatea extract provides a selective real time colorimetric monitoring of HSO4- ions which would pave the way for the development of low cost green analytical tool. This type of detection technique enhances the environmental and economic benefits and can emerge as an alternative form of synthetic chelating sensors. Although fluorescence spectroscopy is a highly sensitive method, it is still rather difficult to identify a minor fluorescent component whose fluorescent peak is overlapped and masked by a dominant fluorescent component in a sample solution. Herein, we describe a two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) approach based on the Kasha's rule to solve the above common problem. We initially suppose that a sample solution contains the major component only, and the spectral behavior of the major component obeys the Kasha's rule. Then, the shapes of emission spectra obtained under excitation lights of different wavelengths remain invariant. Under this condition, the introduction of a minor fluorescent component can be reflected by the changes on the shapes of emission peaks in the series of emission spectra. Moreover, subtle changes, which are difficult to be found in the original spectra, can be clearly visualized as cross peaks in 2D asynchronous spectrum constructed using a series of emission spectra. In addition, we demonstrate that the intensities of cross peaks can be enhanced by changing the sequence of the series of emission spectra.
