Project Tycho Level 1 data: Counts of multiple diseases reported in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1916-2011

Project Tycho data include counts of infectious disease cases or deaths per time interval. A count is equivalent to a data point. Project Tycho level 1 data include data counts that have been standardized for a specific, published, analysis. Standardization of level 1 data included representing various types of data counts into a common format and excluding data counts that are not required for the intended analysis. In addition, external data such as population data may have been integrated with disease data to derive rates or for other applications.Version 1.0.0 of level 1 data includes counts at the state level for smallpox, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis A, and whooping cough and at the city level for diphtheria. The time period of data varies per disease somewhere between 1916 and 2011. This version includes cases as well as incidence rates per 100,000 population based on historical population estimates. These data have been used by investigators at the University of Pittsburgh to estimate the impact of vaccination programs in the United States, published in the New England Journal of Medicine: <a href="http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMms1215400">http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMms1215400</a>. See this paper for additional methods and detail about the origin of level 1 version 1.0.0 data.Level 1 version 1.0.0 data is represented in a CSV file with 7 columns:<ul><li>epi_week: a six digit number that represents the year and epidemiological week for which disease cases or deaths were reported (yyyyww)</li><li>state: the two digit postal code state abbreviation that represents the state for which a count has been reported</li><li>loc: the name of a state or city for which a count has been reported, capitalized</li><li>loc_type: the type of location (STATE or CITY) for which a count has been reported</li><li>disease: the disease for which a count has been reported: HEPATITIS A, MEASLES, MUMPS, PERTUSSIS, POLIO, RUBELLA, SMALLPOX, or DIPHTHERIA</li><li>cases: the number of cases reported for the specified disease, epidemiological week, and location</li><li>incidence_per_100000: the number of cases per 100,000 people, computed using historical population counts for cities and states as reported by the US Census Bureau</li></ul>

Drop count and size of 38 numerical simulation of a flat fan spray

Data refer to the drop size distribution used in the paper "Data-driven modelling for drop size distributions" by T. Traverso, T. Abadie, O. K. Matar, and L. Magri (arXiv link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.18049) Each of the 38 .csv file in this folder is associated with a different working condition of the nozzle. Specifically, the name 'alpha##_Re##_We##.csv' contains the working condition of the nozzle as - alpha## (## is the spray angle) - Re## (## is the Reynolds number) - We## (## is the Weber number) Each file contains as many raws as the number of drops. In the i-th raw, 1) the first element is the Volume of the i-th drop; 2) the second element is the estimated surface of the i-th drop with the method in equation (18) of [1]; 3) the third element is the equivalent diameter of the i-th drop (i.e., as if it was spherical - computed from the volume) The value of the Weber number found in the Arxiv paper is half of that reported here. The correct one is the one in this database. The paper will be corrected in due time.

KSR inhibitor APS-2-79 sensitivity test in JURKAT and ALL-SIL T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines measured by Cell Counting Kit 8

APS-2-79 compound was purchased from MedChemExpress (Monmoutyh Junction, NJ, USA). The 20 mg/ml stock solution was prepared in DMSO. To calculate the IC50, JURKAT and ALL-SIL cells were cultured for 72h with a range of APS-2-79 concentrations (5-15 µM) added as equal volumes. Cells treated with 0.5% DMSO (vehicle) were used as negative control. Cells treated with 10% DMSO were used as positive control. The viability of cells was measured using Cell Counting Kit 8 (Sigma Aldrich) and GloMax Microplate Reader system (Promega) with 450 nm wavelength and 600 nm as reference wavelength. The relevant reads are made from following wells: 2A-2D (15 µM APS-2-79), 3A-3D (12.5 µM APS-2-79), 4A-4D (10 µM APS-2-79), 5A-5D (7.5 µM APS-2-79), 6A-6D (5 µM APS-2-79), 7A-7D (vehicle), 8A-8D (positive control).

Rabbits are the most important small-mammal herbivores in shortgrass steppe, and may significant influence the physiognomy and population dynamics of herbaceous plants and woody shrubs. Rabbits also are the most important prey of mammalian carnivores such as coyotes and large raptors such as golden eagles and great horned owls. Two hares (Lepus californicus, L. townsendii) and one cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagus audubonii) occur in shortgrass steppe. In 1994, we initiated long-term studies to track changes in relative abundance of rabbits on the Central Plains Experimental Range (CPER). On four nights each year (one night each season, usually on new moon nights in January, April, July, October), we drove a 32-km route consisting of pasture two-track and gravel roads on the CPER.

[DEPRECATED] Vegetation Plots of the Bonanza Creek LTER Control Plots: Species Count (1975 - 2004) (Reformatted to ecocomDP Design Pattern)

This ecocomDP data package has been deprecated due to issues in the L0 source dataset that prohibits the creation of an L1 ecocomDP dataset. This data package is formatted according to the "ecocomDP", a data package design pattern for ecological community surveys, and data from studies of composition and biodiversity. For more information on the ecocomDP project see https://github.com/EDIorg/ecocomDP/tree/master, or contact EDI https://environmentaldatainitiative.org. This Level 1 data package was derived from the Level 0 data package found here: https://portal.edirepository.org/nis/mapbrowse?scope=knb-lter-bnz&identifier=175&revision=20 The abstract below was extracted from the Level 0 data package and is included for context: These data are the vegetation datasets for 27 LTER sites in Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest. The 27 sites are divided into three replicates for six primary successional stages on the floodplains (3 replicates X 6 successional stages = 18 sites) and three replicates for three secondary successional stages in the uplands (3 replicates X 3 successional stages = 9 sites). Data include: 1) Visual estimates of percent cover, 2) Stem counts (the number of individuals/species), and 3) Heights (cm) for "tall shrub species" in twenty 4 m2 plots. Shrubs are considered "Tall shrubs" if they are Salix sp., Alnus sp., Rosa acicularis, Viburnum edule, Betula nana, Betula glandulosa, or Rubus idaeus. Initial colonziations plots (FP0s, SL1s, HR1A) were remeasured every year. Early successional plots were remeasured every 2-4 years. Later succesional plots were remeasured approximately every five years. For a detail schedule of plot measurements please see the file: Vegetation Monitoring Schedule.xls Although most sites were established in 1988 some sites have vegetation plots that have been sampled periodically since 1965. In 2006 shrub data collection was changed to a transect method of sampling. These data can be found in the file: <a href="http://www.lte

Fish and crayfish density and count data for Peeks Creek, Macon County, NC, USA 2005-2014, 2019, and 2022 following a catastrophic debris flow, as well as six reference streams

We followed the process of recovery of the fish and crayfish assemblage in Peeks Creek, a high-gradient second order stream in the Little Tennessee River watershed of North Carolina, after a debris flow devastated the channel and its riparian zone. After 15 years, the fish assemblage had recovered, and the channel and riparian zone had stabilized. Of the three major components of the fish assemblage, Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum)), a strong swimmer, reappeared in year 1. Longnose Dace (Rhinichthys cataractae (Valenciennes in Cuvier and Valenciennes)) reappeared in year 3. Mottled Sculpin (Cottus bairdii Girard), a weak swimmer, did not become established until year 6 and only resumed expected abundance in year 9. Appalachian Brook Crayfish (Cambarus bartonii cavatus Hay) numbers recovered quickly, though only one individual was found the year following the debris flow. Unassisted natural recovery occurred after a costly engineered restoration project had been rejected and arguably represents the preferable solution. However, recovery of the fish assemblage may not have been achieved if the stream flowed directly into an impoundment or low gradient river that lacked the source of species for recolonization, or if the stream had been located above a barrier to upstream movement.

PIE LTER surveys of salt marsh breeding birds using point counts in Rowley and Newbury, Massachusetts (Reformatted to a Darwin Core Archive)

This data package is formatted as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A, event core). For more information on Darwin Core see https://www.tdwg.org/standards/dwc/. This Level 2 data package was derived from the Level 1 data package found here: https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/edi/336/2, which was derived from the Level 0 data package found here: https://pasta.lternet.edu/package/metadata/eml/knb-lter-pie/175/8. The abstract below was extracted from the Level 0 data package and is included for context: This data set contains the results of point count surveys of breeding birds in the salt marshes of the Plum Island Estuary. Surveys have been carried out each year in June beginning in 2004 and are ongoing. Currently six circles of 100 m radius are being surveyed. Three of the circles are in plots that had been regularly hayed and three in unhayed plots. Currently only one of the plots is regularly hayed. 85 species recorded as of 2020. Most frequently encountered are Agelaius phoeniceus, Ammospiza caudacuta, Tringa semipalmata. The Plum Island Ecosystems (PIE) LTER is developing a predictive understanding of the response of a linked watershed-marsh-estuarine system in northeastern Massachusetts to rapid environmental change. Over the last 30 years, surface sea water temperatures in the adjacent Gulf of Maine have risen at 3 times the global average, rates of sea-level rise have accelerated, and precipitation has increased. Coupled with these changes in climate and sea level are substantial changes within the rapidly urbanizing watersheds that influence water, sediment, and nutrient delivery to the marsh and estuary. In PIE IV our focus is on: Dynamics of coastal ecosystems in a region of rapid climate change, sea-level rise, and human impacts.

Alaska 2004 Burns: Counts of live and dead seedlings of lodgepole pine in a post-fire seeding experiment at 39 sites

This dataset contains counts of emerged seedlings of lodgepole pine from seeds sown in an experimental seeding study. The experiment started in 2005 at sites that burned in 2004 in interior Alaska. Records are from a set of 39 intensive study sites that were formerly dominated by black spruce along the Steese, Taylor, and Dalton highways. Seeds were sown in five 50 x 50 cm quadrats at each site in August 2005 and most emerged in early summer 2005. Seedling counts were measured for 6 years, in 2006, 2007 2008, and 2011. All pine seedlings were removed in 2011.

Count data of air-breathing fauna from visual transect surveys including water temperature, time, sea and weather conditions in Shark Bay Marine Park, Western Australia from February 2008 to July 2014

This dataset provides information on the relative abundances of air breathing fauna (dugongs, dolphins, sea snakes, marine birds, and sea turtles) in the study area of the Eastern Gulf of Shark Bay, Western Australia. The dataset comprises transects that quantify animal abundances in three microhabitats (shallow seagrass banks, seagrass bank edges, and deep sandy channels). These microhabitats vary in their food supply as well as their potential to facilitate or inhibit detection and escape from predators, mainly the tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier). As a result these data have been used to examine risk-specific habitat use behaviors of these fauna, in addition to general abundance estimates.

Spring 2003 crab population monitoring: mid-marsh and creekbank abundance based on crab hole counts at GCE marsh, monitoring sites 1-10

This data set is the Spring 2003 estimate of crab densities at the GCE-LTER marsh sites used for population monitoring. Crab abundance was determined by counting the number of crab holes within a 625 cm^2 quadrat and converting the counts to number per square meter. Counts were made in the mid-marsh and creekbank zones (n = 4 per zone) at all sites. This method does not differentiate which species made a particular hole and therefore only estimates total crab abundance. Plugged holes were excluded from the counts. Mean density across all sites and zones was 264 m^-2 (+/- 215 s.d.).

Fall 2003 crab population monitoring: mid-marsh and creekbank abundance based on crab hole counts at GCE marsh, monitoring sites 1-10

This data set is the Fall 2003 estimate of crab densities at the GCE-LTER marsh sites used for population monitoring. Crab abundance was determined by counting the number of crab holes within a 625 cm^2 quadrat and converting the counts to number per square meter. Counts were made in the mid-marsh and creekbank zones (n = 4 per zone) at all sites. This method does not differentiate which species made a particular hole and therefore only estimates total crab abundance. Plugged holes were excluded from the counts. Mean density across all sites and zones was 250 m^-2 (+/- 285 s.d.).

Crab population monitoring: Spring 2001 mid-marsh and creekbank crab abundances based on hole counts at GCE marsh, monitoring sites 1-10

There are a number of crab species that inhabit the vegetated intertidal marshes of the GCE-LTER permanent monitoring sites. The most frequently encountered species are Uca pugnax, U. pugilator, U. minax, Sesarma reticulatum, Armases cinereum, and Eurytium limosum. These species are highly mobile at various tide stages and seek the safety of burrows when not foraging. Their behavior patterns make it difficult to accurately assess their abundance within the constraints of our current monitoring activities. To do so would require a sampling program dedicated solely to that unique end. This study was designed to use counts of crab holes as a relatively quick and easy way to estimate total crab densities at the GCE-LTER sites. Such a method does not differentiate which species made a particular hole and therefore only estimates total crab abundance. Plugged holes were excluded from the counts. Our initial data yielded an average across all sites of 239 crabs (all species) m^-2. Our initial conclusion is that crab hole counts allow the estimation of crab densities and yields estimates comparable to those methods requiring extensive time and effort. This method will be used to estimate crab densities in the Spring and Fall (yearly) within the GCE-LTER domain.
