Cryptomelane (K-OMS-2) (K(Mn 4+ , Mn 2+ ) 8 O 16 ) is a manganese-oxide mineral that is abundant in soils and rock coatings globally and is gaining importance in materials science and industrial mineralogy. The crystal structure is composed of 2 × 2 octahedra that creates a tunnel space for K + . Low-weight percent (wt%) europium (Eu)-doped, high-wt% Eu-doped, low-wt% cerium (Ce)-doped, and high-wt% Ce-doped cryptomelane were...
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...
Acid and metalliferous drainage (AMD) reduces fish diversity with effects extending downstream. Discharges may also create chemical barriers for migratory species into otherwise unimpacted headwaters. We investigated kōaro ( Galaxias brevipinnis ) response to remediation of an AMD‐impacted tributary in a 5 th ‐order West Coast, New Zealand river. Kōaro communities were surveyed once pre‐remediation and on seven subsequent occa...
Assessment of the Orbit® subretinal delivery system (Orbit® SDS device) and prototypes in adult and juvenile canine eyesNARA Subscribed
This study aimed to assess the applicability of the Orbit ® Subretinal Delivery System [Orbit ® SDS, 2nd Generation, clinical-grade device] and prototypes for subretinal injection (SRI) in dogs of different ages. Following ex vivo and in vivo testing of the clinical grade Orbit ® SDS in 7 adult canine eyes, 8 normal dogs (13 eyes; age range: 10–72 weeks) were injected with an AAV2/5-CBA-tdTomato-WPRE vector using different Orb...
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...
Increased CH 4 Oxidation in Arctic Tundra Ecosystems Caused by Vegetation‐Mediated Soil DryingNARA Subscribed
Arctic tundra soils can act as an important sink for atmospheric methane (CH 4 ). However, the role and magnitude of this process, and how it will change during future climate scenarios, are poorly understood. The vegetation is changing with a warmer Arctic climate, with taller plants, more shrubs, and altered vegetation patterns. These changes are predicted to be strongest in moist to wet regions, areas usually associated wit...
The ocean plays an essential role in regulating Earth’s climate, influencing weather conditions, providing sustenance for large populations, moderating anthropogenic climate change, encompassing massive biodiversity, and sustaining the global economy. Human activities are changing the oceans, stressing ocean health, threatening the critical services the ocean provides to society, with significant consequences for human well-be...
Optimizing photosynthetic light-harvesting under stars: simple and general antenna modelsNARA Subscribed
In the next 10–20 years, several observatories will aim to detect the signatures of oxygenic photosynthesis on exoplanets, though targets must be carefully selected. Most known potentially habitable exo-planets orbit cool M-dwarf stars, which have limited emission in the photosynthetically active region of the spectrum (PAR, $$400< \lambda < 700$$ 400 < λ < 700 nm) used by Earth’s oxygenic photoautotrophs. Still, recent experi...
The Kelp Forest Challenge: A collaborative global movement to protect and restore 4 million hectares of kelp forestsNARA Subscribed
Marine kelp forests cover 1/3 of our world's coastlines, are heralded as a nature-based solution to address socio-environmental issues, connect hundreds of millions of people with the ocean, and support a rich web of biodiversity throughout our oceans. But they are increasingly threatened with some areas reporting over 90% declines in kelp forest cover in living memory. Despite their importance and the threats they face, kelp...
Indicators to monitor the status of the tree of lifeNARA Subscribed
Following the failure to fully achieve any of the 20 Aichi biodiversity targets, the future of biodiversity rests in the balance. The Convention on Biological Diversity's Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) presents the opportunity to preserve nature's contributions to people (NCPs) for current and future generations by conserving biodiversity and averting extinctions. There is a need to safeguard the tree of...
