Dune Russet (COTX08063-2Ru) is the first French fry russet potato cultivar released by the Texas A&M Potato Breeding Program. It derives from a cross made by the Colorado State University Potato Program between Premier Russet and A99073-1 and was subsequently selected and advanced by the Texas Program. Dune Russet has oblong potato tubers with light russet skin texture and white flesh. It is characterized by having excellent F...
Assessing Risk for Bycatch and Byproduct Species Using a Modified Sustainability Assessment for Fishing Effects (SAFE) ApproachNARA Subscribed
Central to ecosystem‐based fisheries management is ensuring the sustainability of bycatch and byproduct species. However, the sustainability of these species is difficult to assess as the lack of information limits the use of traditional stock assessment methods. We demonstrate, using a complex multi‐species fisheries exemplar, the efficient assessment of large numbers of diverse species, using a modified Sustainability Assess...
Real-time Image-guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) technologies aim to track intra-fractional tumour motion during delivery of high radiation doses to tumours. For the development and safe implementation of real-time IGRT technologies into the clinic, there is a need for robust and repeatable quality assurance (QA) devices. Motivated by this need, this work presents the development and characterisation of a novel time-synchronised mot...
Moose ( Alces alces ) are an iconic symbol of contemporary Rocky Mountain ecosystems, and their growing abundance in Colorado and other portions of the Southern Rockies has inspired debate around their regional prehistory prior to their 20th century translocation. The Early Holocene biogeography of moose in North America is poorly characterised, due in part to their life history and logistical obstacles to their archaeozoologi...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
SRS143 a semi-synthetic analogue of andrographolide against house dust mite induced allergic asthmaNARA Subscribed
Allergic asthma is one of the common forms of asthma. Upon exposure to allergens, mast cells actively release histamine into the airway, forcing the smooth muscles in the airway to undergo contraction, hence asthmatic attack. The therapeutics of asthma is commonly based on the use of steroids and topical bronchodilators. Steroid-resistant asthma has been on the rise and can be further exacerbated by any respiratory infection....
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2024 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
Understanding life history parameters is key to assessing demography, biological productivity, and extinction risk of fishes. Age and growth analyses in chondrichthyan fishes (sharks, rays, and ghost sharks) is primarily undertaken through counting vertebral band pairs. For rare, threatened, and protected species such as river sharks (Carcharhinidae; Glyphis), obtaining sufficient vertebrae samples may not be possible. Here we...
Not all protected areas are created equal: quality vs quantity in the quest to achieve 30 × 30NARA Subscribed
The adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework empowers signatory countries to take meaningful action in addressing the global biodiversity crisis. The framework’s first eight targets are aimed at directly reducing threats to biodiversity, with Target 3 calling for the global protection of at least 30% of terrestrial and inland water areas by 2030. We use the protected area networks to assess progress towar...
Validation of a Mathematical Model for Rupture Status of Spherical Intracranial AneurysmsNARA Subscribed
Purpose An accurate mathematical model of intracranial aneurysm (IA) mechanics is of great value for its potential utility in assessing probability of IA rupture. Such a model for spherical IAs has been developed which predicts a wall-thickness-to-IA-radius ratio (WTR) of 6.1 × 10 −3 at which IAs rupture. To our knowledge, no further work has been done to validate this model with clinical data. We aim to assess the accuracy an...
