title: A Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy Brain Data Archive

description: p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; direction: ltr; line-height: 120%; text-align: left; } Advancements in the field of microscopy and imaging have pushed the boundaries of what was once thought possible in many fields of research. New techniques coupled with the application of new technologies allow researchers to probe further and with greater accuracy to answer increasingly complex questions. While these new techniques allow for far greater specificity of observation and increased sensitivity in regard to both resolution and frequency, the amount of data generated is increasing to a point where conventional systems are unable to manage it. At the current time, there is no practical way to analyze, mine, share or interact with large (100+TB) brain image datasets. The development of a national, scalable archival solution and gateway for such datasets is a pressing problem extremely important and central to the NIH mission as in the future there will be a continuous and sustained growth in data scale. To address this issue, we are establishing the BRAIN Imaging Archive. The Archive will encompass the deposition of datasets, the integration of datasets into a searchable web- accessible system, the redistribution of datasets, and a computational enclave to allow researchers to process datasets in-place and share restricted and pre-release datasets. The Archive will, for the first time, provide researchers with a practical way to analyze, mine, share or interact with large (100+TB) image datasets by creating a unique public resource for the BRAIN research community.

title: The taxonomic utility of forefin morphology in Lower Jurassic ichthyosaurs: <i>Protoichthyosaurus</i> and <i>Ichthyosaurus</i>

description: The validity of the parvipelvian ichthyosaur genus <i>Protoichthyosaurus</i> was evaluated by examining the type material and recently recognized specimens. <i>Protoichthyosaurus</i> has a wide forefin with at least five primary digits, an anterior digital bifurcation in the forefin, a humerus that is nearly equal in width distally and proximally, and a coracoid with well-developed anterior and posterior notches, features it shares with the more common genus <i>Ichthyosaurus</i>. Previously, <i>Protoichthyosaurus</i> was synonymized with <i>Ichthyosaurus</i> because of an incomplete understanding of forefin variation in the latter taxon. However, <i>Protoichthyosaurus</i> has several features in the forefin that distinguishes it from <i>Ichthyosaurus</i>, including the presence of three elements in the distal carpal row, a contact between distal carpal 3 and the ulnare, a bifurcation of distal carpal 2 to form two elements in the metacarpal row, the proximal element of the bifurcation nearly separating distal carpal 2 from distal carpal 3, distal carpal 3 separating the intermedium from contact with distal carpal 4, and the absence of digit V. A phylogenetic analysis confirms that <i>Protoichthyosaurus</i> is the sister taxon of <i>Ichthyosaurus</i> and is nested in Ichthyosauridae. We recognize two species, <i>P. prostaxalis</i> and <i>P. applebyi</i>, sp. nov., but not <i>P. prosostealis</i>. <i>Protoichthyosaurus</i> is unequivocally from the Hettangian but might be present in the Rhaetian to lower Sinemurian. The genus is geographically widespread across the U.K. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:23CA73CE-BB9A-4EAD-81BA-A6D27ABC82CB SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP Citation for this article: Lomax, D.

title: Science Gateways: Sustainability via On-Campus Teams

description: The challenges for creators of specific science gateways are manifold, and the expertise needed for well-designed science gateways is very diverse. The sustainability of science gateways is crucial to serve communities effectively, efficiently and reliably. One measure to achieve greater sustainability of science gateways is establishing on-campus teams. Researchers are served more efficiently since the support by experienced developers reduces individual project investments, and a team can bring the diversity of required expertise for a well-designed science gateway. This paper goes into detail about the challenges and the benefits of on-campus groups and of sharing resources across a campus. We provide four successful cases, describe the services of the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) to support the process in building such groups, and recommend strategies for using free campus resources.

title: Extending​ ​Gateways​ ​into​ ​the​ ​Field: Geospatial​ ​Extensions​ ​and​ ​Remote​ ​Data​ ​Services

description: Science gateways are generally accessed via web browsers from workstation or laptop computers. However, activities such as fieldwork and data collection have prompted an increasing call for new methods of access using a wide range of mobile and specialized devices. Our work to extend the HUBzero gateway framework with new access routes is described. Specifically, an emphasis is placed on enabling the flow of geospatial data and metadata between geo-enhanced HUBzero hubs and devices in the field.

title: Ecological risk assessment of metals in roadside agricultural soils: A modified approach

description: The threat of metal contamination of roadside agricultural soils poses severe ecological risks throughout the globe due to dual contamination by intensive agriculture and traffic-related activities. Therefore, the present study was conducted to assess ecological risks posed by metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn) in intensively cultivated roadside agricultural soils of Punjab, India. The results of the contamination assessment factors <i>i.e.</i> Contamination Factor (CF) and Enrichment Factor (EF) indicated that the studied soils were moderately to highly contaminated with metals. It was observed that the Modified Risk Index (MRI), which is based upon EF, indicated the ecological risks of metals more efficiently than the traditional Ecological Risk Index (RI), which is based upon CF in the present study. The MRI values indicated that the metals posed considerable to high risk in 67.86% samples as compared to only 7.14% samples based upon RI values. Thus, MRI can be considered as a more efficient risk indicator in comparison to RI. Spatial distribution maps of MRI indicated to higher metal contamination in inner urban parts of study area due to higher traffic and industrial activities.
