Nonlinear Conditional Time-Varying Granger Causality Of Task Fmri Via Deep Stacking Networks And Adaptive Convolutional Kernels, Kai Cheng Chuang, Sreekrishna Ramakrishnapillai, Lydia Bazzano, Owen Carmichael

Clinical Research Faculty Publications

Time-varying Granger causality refers to patterns of causal relationships that vary over time between brain functional time series at distinct source and target regions. It provides rich information about the spatiotemporal structure of brain activity that underlies behavior. Current methods for this problem fail to quantify nonlinear relationships in source-target relationships, and require ad hoc setting of relationship time lags. This paper proposes deep stacking networks (DSNs), with adaptive convolutional kernels (ACKs) as component parts, to address these challenges. The DSNs use convolutional neural networks to estimate nonlinear source-target relationships, ACKs allow these relationships to vary over time, and time …

Phylogenetics Of Archerfishes (Toxotidae) And Evolution Of The Toxotid Shooting Apparatus, M. G. Girard, M. P. Davis, Tan H.H., D. J. Wedd, P. Chakrabarty, W. B. Ludt, A. P. Summers, W. L. Smith

Faculty Publications

Synopsis: Archerfishes (Toxotidae) are variously found in the fresh- and brackish-water environments of Asia Pacific and are well known for their ability to shoot water at terrestrial prey. These shots of water are intended to strike their prey and cause it to fall into the water for capture and consumption. While this behavior is well known, there are competing hypotheses (blowpipe vs. pressure tank hypothesis) of how archerfishes shoot and which oral structures are involved. Current understanding of archerfish shooting structures is largely based on two species, Toxotes chatareus and T. jaculatrix. We do not know if all archerfishes possess …

Molecular Data From The Holotype Of The Enigmatic Bornean Black Shrew, Suncus Ater Medway, 1965 (Soricidae, Crocidurinae), Place It In The Genus Palawanosorex, Jonathan A. Nations, Thomas C. Giarla, Muhd Amsyari Morni, Julius William Dee, Mark T. Swanson, Anna E. Hiller, Faisal Ali Anwarali Khan, Jacob A. Esselstyn

Faculty Publications

Although Borneo has received more attention from biologists than most other islands in the Malay Ar-chipelago, many questions regarding the systematic relationships of Bornean mammals remain. Using next-generation sequencing technology, we obtained mitochondrial DNA sequences from the holotype of Suncus ater, the only known specimen of this shrew. Several shrews collected recently in Sarawak are closely aligned, both morphologically and mitochondrially, with the holotype of S. ater. Phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial sequences indicate that the S. ater holotype and new Sarawak specimens do not belong to the genus Suncus, but instead are most closely related to Palawanosorex muscorum. Until now …

New Species Of Virola (Myristicaceae) From South America, Daniel Santamaría-Aguilar, Laura P. Lagomarsino

Faculty Publications

With about 70 species Virola, is the largest genus of Myristicaceae in the Neotropics, the genus ranked in the top ten genera of abundance across Amazonia. Ten new species are proposed in this striking genus, which are described based on morphology, and are illustrated. The new species were discovered thanks to herbarium specimens collected mainly in the 1980s and 1990s when field documentations were more active. The new species come from Colombia (V. calimensis sp. nov., V. cogolloi sp. nov., V. excisa sp. nov., V. tuckerae sp. nov.), Ecuador (V. alvaroperezii sp. nov., V. bombuscaroensis sp. nov., V. calimensis, V. …

No Guts About It: Captivity, But Not Neophobia Phenotype, Influences The Cloacal Microbiome Of House Sparrows (Passer Domesticus), T. R. Kelly, A. E. Vinson, G. M. King, C. R. Lattin

Faculty Publications

Behavioral traits such as anxiety and depression have been linked to diversity of the gut microbiome in humans, domesticated animals, and lab-bred model species, but the extent to which this link exists in wild animals, and thus its eco- logical relevance, is poorly understood. We examined the relationship between a behavioral trait (neophobia) and the cloacal microbiome in wild house sparrows ( Passer domesticus, n = 22) to determine whether gut microbial diversity is related to per- sonality in a wild animal. We swabbed the cloaca immediately upon capture, assessed neophobia phenotypes in the lab, and then swabbed the cloaca …

Morphology Of Migration: Associations Between Wing Shape, Bill Morphology And Migration In Kingbirds (Tyrannus), Maggie P. Macpherson, Alex E. Jahn, Nicholas A. Mason

Faculty Publications

Morphology is closely linked to locomotion and diet in animals. In animals that undertake long-distance migrations, limb morphology is under selection to maximize mobility and minimize energy expenditure. Migratory behaviours also interact with diet, such that migratory animals tend to be dietary generalists, whereas sedentary taxa tend to be dietary specialists. Despite a hypothesized link between migration status and morphology, phylogenetic comparative studies have yielded conflicting findings. We tested for evolutionary associations between migratory status and limb and bill morphology across kingbirds, a pan-American genus of birds with migratory, partially migratory and sedentary taxa. Migratory kingbirds had longer wings, in …

A Low-Cost Greenhouse-Based High-Throughput Phenotyping Platform For Genetic Studies: A Case Study In Maize Under Inoculation With Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria, Rafael Massahiro Yassue, Giovanni Galli, Ronaldo Borsato, Hao Cheng, Gota Morota, Roberto Fritsche-Neto

Faculty Publications

Greenhouse-based high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) presents a useful approach for studying novel plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Despite the potential of this approach to leverage genetic variability for breeding new maize (Zea Mays L.) cultivars exhibiting highly stable symbiosis with PGPB, greenhouse-based HTP platforms are not yet widely used because they are highly expensive; hence, it is challenging to perform HTP studies under a limited budget. In this study, we built a low-cost greenhouse-based HTP platform to collect growth-related image-derived phenotypes. We assessed 360 inbred maize lines with or without PGPB inoculation under nitrogen-limited conditions. Plant height, canopy coverage, and canopy volume …

Genome And Environment Based Prediction Models And Methods Of Complex Traits Incorporating Genotype × Environment Interaction, José Crossa, Osval Antonio Montesinos-López, Paulino Pérez-Rodríguez, Germano Costa-Neto, Roberto Fritsche-Neto, Rodomiro Ortiz, Johannes W.R. Martini, Morten Lillemo, Abelardo Montesinos-López, Diego Jarquin, Flavio Breseghello, Jaime Cuevas, Renaud Rincent

Faculty Publications

Genomic-enabled prediction models are of paramount importance for the successful implementation of genomic selection (GS) based on breeding values. As opposed to animal breeding, plant breeding includes extensive multienvironment and multiyear field trial data. Hence, genomic-enabled prediction models should include genotype × environment (G × E) interaction, which most of the time increases the prediction performance when the response of lines are different from environment to environment. In this chapter, we describe a historical timeline since 2012 related to advances of the GS models that take into account G × E interaction. We describe theoretical and practical aspects of those …

A New Species Of New Guinea Worm-Eating Snake (Serpentes, Elapidae, Toxicocalamus Boulenger, 1896) From Western Highlands Province, Papua New Guinea, Jackson R. Roberts, Bulisa Iova, Christopher C. Austin

Faculty Publications

We describe a new species of New Guinea Worm-Eating Snake (Elapidae: Toxicocalamus) from a specimen in the reptile collection of the Papua New Guinea National Museum and Art Gallery. Toxicocalamus longhagen sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from other species of this genus by the presence of paired subcaudals, a preocular scale unfused from the prefrontal scale, a prefrontal distinct from the internasal scale that contacts the supralabials, a single large posterior temporal and two postocular scales. The new taxon is currently known only from one specimen, which was collected from Mt. Hagen Town in Western Highlands Province, Papua New …

Effect Of Ldh On The Dissolution And Adsorption Behaviors Of Sulfate In Portland Cement Early Hydration Process, Zedong Qiu, Limin Deng, Shuang Lu, Guoqiang Li, Zhen Tang

Faculty Publications

In recent years, it has been widely recognized that the incorporation of Mg-Al-LDH into cement-based materials can improve the salt corrosion resistance of cement-based materials. The reason for the improvement comes from the anion adsorption capacity of Mg-Al-LDH. It was confirmed that the addition of Mg-Al-LDH would accelerate the setting and hardening of cement paste. With the increase in the Mg-Al-LDH content, the initial setting time of cement slurry with different gypsum contents will decrease by 10-50% and the viscosity of the cement slurry will increase by 100-200%. Depending on different gypsum contents, the degree of cement hydration varied. This …

Event-Triggered Control For Discrete-Time Systems Using A Positive Systems Approach, Frederic Mazenc, Michael Malisoff, Corina Barbalata, Zhong Ping Jiang

Faculty Publications

We provide an output feedback event-triggered controller for discrete-time linear systems. We make novel use of positive systems, interval observers, an event-triggered state estimator, and triggering times that are computed from estimator values. This provides a discrete-time analog of our recent positive systems approach for continuous-time systems. A key novel ingredient in our discrete-time event triggers is their use of vectors of absolute values, instead of the usual Euclidean norm. We illustrate the benefits of our method using a model for event-triggered BlueROV2 underwater vehicles.

Decay Of Oil Residues In The Soil Is Enhanced By The Presence Of Spartina Alterniflora, With No Additional Effect From Microbiome Manipulation, Stephen K. Formel, Allyson M. Martin, John H. Pardue, Vijaikrishnah Elango, Kristina Johnson, Claudia K. Gunsch, Emilie Lefèvre, Paige M. Varner, Yeon Ji Kim, Brittany M. Bernik, Sunshine A. Van Bael

Faculty Publications

Recent work has suggested that the phytoremediation potential of S. alterniflora may be linked to a selection by the plant for oil-degrading microbial communities in the soil, in combination with enhanced delivery of oxygen and plant enzymes to the soil. In salt marshes, where the soil is saline and hypoxic, this relationship may be enhanced as plants in extreme environments have been found to be especially dependent on their microbiome for resilience to stress and to respond to toxins in the soil. Optimizing methods for restoration of oiled salt marshes would be especially meaningful in the Gulf of Mexico, where …

Classification Of Surface Pavement Cracks As Top-Down, Bottom-Up, And Cement-Treated Reflective Cracking Based On Deep Learning Methods, Nirmal Dhakal, Mostafa A. Elseifi, Zia U.A. Zihan, Zhongjie Zhang, Christophe N. Fillastre, Jagannath Upadhyay

Faculty Publications

The treatment and repair strategies for reflective and fatigue cracking that initiate at the pavement surface (i.e., top-down cracking) and at the bottom of the asphalt concrete layer (i.e., bottom-up cracking) are noticeably different. However, pavement management engineers are facing difficulties in identifying these cracks in the field because they usually appear in visually identical patterns. The objective of this study was to develop artificial neural network (ANN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) applications to differentiate and classify top-down, bottom-up, and cement-treated reflective cracking in in-service flexible pavements using deep-learning models. The developed CNN model achieved an accuracy of 93.8% …

Event-Triggered Prediction-Based Delay Compensation Approach, Frederic Mazenc, Michael Malisoff, Corina Barbalata

Faculty Publications

We provide a new event-triggered delay compensation approach for linear systems with arbitrarily long constant input delays. Our prediction map is expressible as a solution of a discrete time system. Our method ensures input-to-state stability. We also provide an analog under measurement delays, where the prediction map is expressible as a solution of a continuous-discrete system. Significant novel features are our combined use of matrices of absolute values and our prediction based event triggers, instead of Euclidean norms, and the fact that the predictor dynamics always has the same dimension as that of the original system. Our marine robotic example …

Event-Triggered Control For Continuous-Time Linear Systems With A Delay In The Input, Frederic Mazenc, Michael Malisoff, Corina Barbalata

Faculty Publications

We provide an event-triggered control technique for a family of linear time-varying continuous-time systems with a constant known pointwise delay in the input. We adopt a subpredictor based prediction technique, and we provide sufficient conditions that ensure that Zeno behavior does not occur. At each time, only delayed measurements are needed to implement the control. Also, the delay can be an arbitrarily large constant. We prove an input-to-state stability property for the closed-loop system, using the theory of cooperative systems. We apply our method to a gyroscopic control problem for a curve tracking dynamics arising in marine robotics.

Maternal Mindful Eating As A Target For Improving Metabolic Outcomes In Pregnant Women With Obesity, Karen L. Lindsay, Jasper Most, Kerrie Buehler, Maryam Kebbe, Abby D. Altazan, Leanne M. Redman

Clinical Research Faculty Publications

Background: Maternal diet and eating behaviors have the potential to influence the metabolic milieu in pregnancies complicated by obesity, with implications for the developmental programming of offspring obesity. Emerging evidence suggests that mindfulness during eating may influence metabolic health in non-pregnant populations, but its effects in the context of pregnancy is less well understood. This study explored the individual and combined effects of mindful eating and diet quality on metabolic outcomes among pregnant women with obesity. Methods: In 46 pregnant women (body mas index >30 kg/m2) enrolled in the MomEE observational study, mindful eating (Mindful Eating Questionnaire, MEQ) and energy-adjusted …

Faculty Publications

In this paper, we outline the need for a coordinated international effort toward the building of an open-access Global Ocean Oxygen Database and ATlas (GO2DAT) complying with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). GO2DAT will combine data from the coastal and open ocean, as measured by the chemical Winkler titration method or by sensors (e.g., optodes, electrodes) from Eulerian and Lagrangian platforms (e.g., ships, moorings, profiling floats, gliders, ships of opportunities, marine mammals, cabled observatories). GO2DAT will further adopt a community-agreed, fully documented metadata format and a consistent quality control (QC) procedure and quality flagging (QF) system. GO2DAT …

Unravelling Rubber Tree Growth By Integrating Gwas And Biological Network-Based Approaches, Felipe Roberto Francisco, Alexandre Hild Aono, Carla Cristina Da Silva, Paulo S. Gonçalves, Erivaldo J. Scaloppi Junior, Vincent Le Guen, Roberto Fritsche-Neto, Livia Moura Souza, Anete Pereira De Souza

Faculty Publications

Hevea brasiliensis (rubber tree) is a large tree species of the Euphorbiaceae family with inestimable economic importance. Rubber tree breeding programs currently aim to improve growth and production, and the use of early genotype selection technologies can accelerate such processes, mainly with the incorporation of genomic tools, such as marker-assisted selection (MAS). However, few quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been used successfully in MAS for complex characteristics. Recent research shows the efficiency of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for locating QTL regions in different populations. In this way, the integration of GWAS, RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) methodologies, coexpression networks and enzyme networks can …

Evaluation Of Residual Herbicides Across Multiple Rice Production Systems, Lucas Connor Webster

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

A field study was conducted in 2019, 2020, and 2021 at the LSU Agricultural Center H. Rouse Caffey Rice Research Station (RRS) near Crowley, LA. to evaluate the crop safety and potential weed control of very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) inhibiting herbicides in Louisiana rice production. The study evaluated the use of acetochlor, dimethenamid, s-metolachlor, and pyroxasulfone applied preemergence (PRE), delayed PRE (DPRE), and the two- to three- leaf, early postemergence (EPOST) rice growth stage. In general, rice injury decreased as application timing was delayed with the least amount of rice injury occurring when the VLCFA inhibiting herbicides were …

The researcher pursued to explore the direction and magnitude that fall into the following three categories on several measures the matriculation progress toward and deficit of a bachelor’s degree: student demographics characteristics, socio-economic background and economic status, and pre-and post-admission academic readiness and performance. The study was established on Tinto’s (1993) Model of Institutional Departure. Moreover, the study used binomial logistic regression, …

Functional Structure Of Biomacromolecules In Plant Biomass Using Solid-State Nmr And Dynamic Nuclear Polarization, Alex Kipchirchir Kirui

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation summarizes the recent findings on complex biomacromolecules in cell wall of plants and fungi which perform important roles in cell recognition, structural build up, and energy storage. Because of the technical difficulty in characterizing these biomacromolecules, which are often polymorphic and disordered in structure, the functional structure of these biomacromolecules remains elusive. In this dissertation, I present two solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) studies of carbohydrate-rich biosystems: the energy-rich plant biomass and disease-relevant, pathogenic fungi.

First, we have investigated the secondary cell wall of plant biomass which is a carbohydrate-rich biosystem using solid …

First Record Of Fungal Diversity In The Tropical And Warm-Temperate Middle Miocene Climate Optimum Forests Of Eurasia, Ingrid C. Romero, Noelia B. Nuñez Otaño, Martha E. Gibson, Tyler M. Spears, C. Jolene Fairchild, Laikin Tarlton, Savannah Jones, Harvey E. Belkin, Sophie Warny, Matthew J. Pound, Jennifer M.K. O’Keefe

Faculty Publications

The middle Miocene Climate Optimum (MMCO) was the warmest interval of the last 23 million years and is one of the best analogs for proposed future climate change scenarios. Fungi play a key role in the terrestrial carbon cycle as dominant decomposers of plant debris, and through their interactions with plants and other organisms as symbionts, parasites, and endobionts. Thus, their study in the fossil record, especially during the MMCO, is essential to better understand biodiversity changes and terrestrial carbon cycle dynamics in past analogous environments, as well as to model future ecological and climatic scenarios. The fossil record also …

Preliminary Tests Of Dosimetric Quality And Projected Therapeutic Outcomes Of Multi-Phase 4d Radiotherapy With Proton And Carbon Ion Beams, Michelle Lis, Wayne Newhauser, Marco Donetti, Moritz Wolf, Timo Steinsberger, Athena Paz, Christian Graeff

Faculty Publications

Objective. The purpose of this study was to perform preliminary pre-clinical tests to compare the dosimetric quality of two approaches to treating moving tumors with ion beams: synchronously delivering the beam with the motion of a moving planning target volume (PTV) using the recently developed multi-phase 4D dose delivery (MP4D) approach, and asynchronously delivering the ion beam to a motion-encompassing internal tumor volume (ITV) combined with rescanning. Approach. We created 4D optimized treatment plans with proton and carbon ion beams for two patients who had previously received treatment for non-small cell lung cancer. For each patient, we created several treatment …

Hypothalamic Steroid Receptor Coactivator-2 Regulates Adaptations To Fasting And Overnutrition, Yongjie Yang, Yanlin He, Hailan Liu, Wenjun Zhou, Chunmei Wang, Pingwen Xu, Xing Cai, Hesong Liu, Kaifan Yu, Zhou Pei, Ilirjana Hyseni, Makoto Fukuda, Qingchun Tong, Jianming Xu, Zheng Sun, Bert W. O'Malley, Yong Xu

Division of Basic Science Faculty Publications

The neuroendocrine system coordinates metabolic and behavioral adaptations to fasting, including reducing energy expenditure, promoting counterregulation, and suppressing satiation and anxiety to engage refeeding. Here, we show that steroid receptor coactivator-2 (SRC-2) in pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons is a key regulator of all these responses to fasting. POMC-specific deletion of SRC-2 enhances the basal excitability of POMC neurons; mutant mice fail to efficiently suppress energy expenditure during food deprivation. SRC-2 deficiency blunts electric responses of POMC neurons to glucose fluctuations, causing impaired counterregulation. When food becomes available, these mutant mice show insufficient refeeding associated with enhanced satiation and discoordination of anxiety …

A Morphological And Histological Investigation Of Imperfect Lungfish Fin Regeneration, Vivien Bothe, Igor Schneider, Nadia B. Fröbisch

Faculty Publications

Regeneration, the replacement of body parts in a living animal, has excited scientists for centuries and our knowledge of vertebrate appendage regeneration has increased significantly over the past decades. While the ability of amniotes to regenerate body parts is very limited, members of other vertebrate clades have been shown to have rather high regenerative capacities. Among tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates), only salamanders show unparalleled capacities of epimorphic tissue regeneration including replacement of organ and body parts in an apparently perfect fashion. The closest living relatives of Tetrapoda, the lungfish, show regenerative abilities that are comparable to those of salamanders and recent …

Terrapin Station: Individual, Sex, And Site Factors Related To Turtle Growth Variability, Leigh Anne Harden, Stephen R. Midway, J. Whitfield Gibbons

Faculty Publications

For many turtle species, life history traits such as body size, age at maturity, and somatic growth rate can vary among individuals and habitats and between the sexes. Therefore, it is important to consider factors that may influence growth when modeling (somatic) growth for turtles. Long-term capture-mark-recapture studies lend themselves to studying somatic growth in turtles due to the repeated measurements of individuals over time. We used a long-term dataset to examine growth patterns of philopatric Diamondback Terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin) on Kiawah Island, South Carolina, USA. We used a hierarchical three-parameter von Bertalanffy model to estimate individual growth of 44 …

Shark Side Of The Moon: Are Shark Attacks Related To Lunar Phase?, Lindsay A. French, Stephen R. Midway, David H. Evans, George H. Burgess

Faculty Publications

Animals across taxa have shown behaviors linked to moon phase (or the proxy of lunar illumination), and marine organisms are well-documented to calibrate certain activities with the moon. Few studies have looked at a possible connection between moon phase and shark attacks on humans, and the results have been preliminary or lacking relationships. We used nearly 50 years of shark attack data from across the globe to test for a relationship between shark attacks and moon phase. We examined factors of geography, shark species, and outcome of attack. From 12 relationships that we tested (totaling 120 comparisons), we found 12 …
