Abstract IIS-9874781 Rowe, Timothy University of Texas, Austin$158,510 - 12 mos.DLI-PHASE 2: A Digital Library of Vertebrate Morphology, Using High-Resolution X-ray CT This is the first year funding of a three year continuing award. This project is an intensive application of high-resolution X-ray Computed Tomography scanning (X-ray CT) to the study of the vertebrate skeleton. The instruments are derived from of medical diagnostic CT scanners, and enable the non-destructive inspection of tiny 3-dimensional objects in extremely fine detail. This project is a collaboration among 24 researchers at leading research universities and natural history museums around the world. The investigators will build a novel digital library of high-resolution X-ray CT images and 3-D models. The library will enable more detailed and comprehensive analyses of vertebrate structure than previously possible and be accessible to a globally networked audience of researchers, educators, and students. The project will study the skeleton in all of its forms, from fossils to embryos and adults of living species. The study will include broad taxonomic diversity of important laboratory and research species, and sample the smallest four orders of vertebrate size-magnitudes.

摘要IIS-9874781罗，得克萨斯州蒂莫西大学，奥斯汀，158,510-12美元。DLI-第二阶段：使用高分辨率X射线CT的脊椎动物形态数字图书馆这是为期三年的连续奖项的第一年资助。本项目是高分辨率X射线计算机断层扫描(X-ray CT)在脊椎动物骨骼研究中的一次深入应用。该仪器源自医学诊断CT扫描仪，能够对微小的三维物体进行极其精细的无损检测。这个项目是由世界各地顶尖研究型大学和自然历史博物馆的24名研究人员合作完成的。研究人员将建立一个新的高分辨率X射线CT图像和3-D模型的数字图书馆。该图书馆将能够对脊椎动物的结构进行比以前更详细和更全面的分析，并可供全球联网的研究人员、教育工作者和学生访问。该项目将研究骨骼的所有形式，从化石到胚胎和成体的活物种。这项研究将包括重要实验室和研究物种的广泛分类多样性，并抽样最小的四个数量级的脊椎动物。
