Custom Biomedical FAIR Data Analysis in the Cloud Using CAVATICA.

The historically fragmented biomedical data ecosystem has moved towards harmonization under the findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) data principles, creating more opportunities for cloud-based research. This shift is especially opportune for scientists across diverse domains interested in implementing creative, nonstandard computational analytic pipelines on large and varied datasets. However, executing custom cloud analyses may present difficulties, particularly for investigators lacking advanced computational expertise.

Cryptic mtDNA Diversity of (Onuphidae, Annelida) in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean.

Marine annelid taxonomy is experiencing a period of rapid revision, with many previously "cosmopolitan" species being split into species with more limited geographic ranges. This is exemplified by the genus, which has recently witnessed dozens of new species descriptions rooted in genetic analyses. In the northwestern Atlantic, the name (Bosc 1802) has been applied to populations from Cape Cod through the Gulf of Mexico, Central America, and Brazil.

A Review of Ecology: Current Knowledge, Open Questions, and Future Threats for an Ecosystem Engineering Polychaete.

A well-known example of marine ecosystem engineering is the annelid genus , which builds large tubes in coastal sediments worldwide. Early studies of were among the first to recognize the importance of facilitation in ecology, and has become a key marine soft-sediment application of the ecosystem engineering concept. Here, I review our current knowledge of ecology, including its natural history, ecosystem engineering effects, and trophic relationships.

Grazer Interactions with Invasive (Rhodophyta): Comparisons to Related Unrelated Native Algae.

Ecosystem responses to invasion are strongly influenced by interactions between invaders and native species. If native species provide biotic resistance by consuming or competing with an invader, the invasion may be slowed, and/or invasive populations may be limited. If local herbivores recognize an invasive plant as being similar to native species, they may graze it more readily.

Helium ion beam imaging for image guided ion radiotherapy.

Background: Ion beam radiotherapy provides potential for increased dose conformation to the target volume. To translate it into a clinical advantage, it is necessary to guarantee a precise alignment of the actual internal patient geometry with the treatment beam. This is in particular challenging for inter- and intrafractional variations, including movement.
