Introduction: This study develops two new multi-institutional hippocampal-sparing whole-brain RapidPlan™ models (HLS-EC-WB and HMS-EC-WB) inspired by CCTG-CE.7 featuring enhanced target coverage with varying hippocampal sparing (limited and moderate).
Methods: New dosimetric scorecards were created to quantify the models' clinical intent.
Biofumigation has been proposed as an alternative to soil fumigation to manage soil-borne diseases including potato early dying disease complex (PED). This study examined the potential of using brown mustard () biofumigation to manage PED under rain-fed potato production in New Brunswick, Canada in two trials between 2017 and 2020 in comparison with chloropicrin fumigation and a conventional barley rotation. Biofumigation increased yield in one trial, but not in a second trial where the potato crop experienced severe drought, whereas chloropicrin fumigation increased yield in both trials.

Different land-uses and management practices oxidize the tropical peat at diverse rates due mainly to different water table levels. In recent years, several studies have measured soil carbon dioxide emissions in-situ; however, only few studies have evaluated the effect of moisture on carbon dioxide fluxes in incubation experiments.
