The PIRATE: an anthropometric earPlug with exchangeable microphones for Individual Reliable Acquisition of Transfer functions at the Ear canal entrance
<p>We present the open design of the PIRATE, an anthropometric earPlug with exchangable microphones for Individual Reliable Acquisition of Transfer functions at the Ear canal entrance. Its outer shape is available in 5 sizes and provides a deep, tight and reproducible fit in virtually all human ears. The design includes a recess to accommodate a MEMS microphone. Thus, the same microphone can be conveniently used in different earplugs without losing accuracy, and the microphone can be removed for calibration. The PIRATE or previous versions of it have been utilized in several studies with more than 200 subjects</p> <p>From the provided model, the earplugs can be 3D printed, and only minor working steps are necessary before use. These steps are described in the documentation.</p> <p> </p> <p>Reference:</p> <p>Denk F., Brinkmann F., Stirnemann S., Kollmeier B.

Estimated individual methane emission rates for oil and gas facilities from the continental United States in 2021
<p>File containing 500 separate estimates of 673,940 individual facility-level methane emission rates for oil and gas facilities for the year 2021 in the continental United States. Each column contains one full estimate of the individual facility-level emissions, presented in units of kilograms per hour of methane per facility. The facility categories included in these estimates are production well sites, gathering and boosting compressor stations, transmission and storage compressor stations, processing plants, and flares. This data can be used to recreate the 500 emission distributions presented in Figure 3 in the following manuscript (link: https://egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2024/egusphere-2024-1402) which is currently under review.

Alterations in RNA editing in skeletal muscle following exercise training in individuals with Parkinson's disease
<p>Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease behind Alzheimer’s Disease, currently affecting more than 10 million people worldwide. The progression of PD results in the loss of function due to neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. The etiology of PD is multifactorial, including both genetic and environmental origins. We explored changes in RNA editing, specifically editing through the actions of the Adenosine Deaminases Acting on RNA (ADARs), in the progression of PD. Analysis of ADAR editing of skeletal muscle transcriptomes from PD patients and controls, including those that engaged in a rehabilitative exercise training program revealed significant differences in ADAR editing patterns based on age, disease status, and following rehabilitative exercise. Further, deleterious editing events in protein coding regions were identified in multiple genes with known associations to PD pathogenesis. Our findings of differential ADAR editing complement findings of changes in transcriptional network identified by a recent Lavin et al. 2020 (<a href="https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2020.00653">https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2020.00653)</a> study and offer insights into dynamic ADAR editing changes associated with PD pathogenesis.

Geologic Map of Ceres [Dawn Mission] - Global dataset based on the 15 individual quadrangle maps
<p><strong>Background:</strong> Between 2011 and 2018, the NASA Dawn spacecraft visited asteroid (4) Vesta and dwarf planet (1) Ceres to investigate the surfaces of both protoplanets through optical and hyperspectral imaging and their composition through gamma-ray and neutron spectroscopy from orbit.<br> For both Vesta and Ceres, a geologic mapping investigation was realized based on optical and hyperspectral data as well as a photogrammetrically derived digital terrain model. For the global mapping investigation, mappers employed Geographic Information System (GIS) software to map 15 quadrangles. The results were published as individual map sheets alongside research papers discussing the geologic evolution. The style of collaborative mapping to produce a consistent global view represented by individual quadrangle maps is comparably new despite abundantly available mapping experiences. Ongoing data acquisition during mapping created considerable challenges for the coordination and homogenization of mapping results.</p> <p>To handle this issue simultaniously to the active mission phase as best as possible a GIS-based environment was needed in order to conduct one homogenous dataset (w.r.t. geometrical and visual character) that represents one geologically-consistent map at the end. Therefore, the mapping team was supported by an predefined mapping template which was generated in the proprietary ArcGIS environment. The template contains different layers (called feature classes) for the different object/geomoetry types and contains predefined attribute values as well as cartographic symbols. The cartographic symbols follow international standards as far as possible. The colours for the geological units refering to established colour values used in geologic maps, e.g., standardized planetary maps generated by USGS, but considering individual needs and requests within the mapping team, too.<br> <br> The <strong>data product pubished here</strong> based on the mentioned GIS-based template and represents the merged global GIS-dataset of the 15 individually conducted geological maps of Ceres within the Dawn Mission. The detailed descriptions of all those scientific interpretions are published in the papers listed within the reference section. Based on team-internal decisions the dataset is provided within the properitary format of ESRIs ArcGIS environment. However, in order to use the data product also outside this software environment, single shapefiles with additional information about the symbology are also included. All available data are available within the compressed folder and the readme-file gives some informative remarks for the useage of the data</p> <p><strong>Additional remark: </strong>The data set provided here does not represent a holistic (in term of topological and scientifical) unification of the 15 individual mapping data as primarily geometric and content-related inconsistencies at quadrangle boundaries prohibited a unified compilation. On the one side, this is due to the fact that the the aim of the mapping project was not to produce a uniform global map, but rather to gain a first impression of the geology of Ceres and publish associated scientific papers. On the other side, that the geological mapping project ran parallel to the regular mission phase, and a finalizing review process for creating a global geological dataset wasn´t scheduled in the mission planning. This deficiency cannot be remedied simply by merging topological missmatches or changing the visualisation. Rather it will require ongoing and detailed scientific discussion of the interpretation results, which could be solved within an updating version of the global map.</p>
A scalable, accurate, and universal analysis framework using individual-level allele frequency for large-scale genetic association studies in an admixed population
<p>Inclusion of individuals with diverse or admixed genetic ancestries is crucial to discover novel findings that may be missed by genomics analyses rooted solely in Caucasian population. Here, we present an analysis framework, SPAmix, which is scalable to a large-scale biobank data analysis including hundreds of thousands of admixed individuals and is universally applicable to various types of complex traits including binary trait, quantitative trait, time-to-event trait, longitudinal traits, etc. For each genetic variant, SPAmix uses genotype data and genetic principal components (PCs) to estimate individual-level allele frequency, which is subsequently used to calibrate p values via a retrospective analysis. A hybrid strategy including saddlepoint approximation (SPA) can greatly increase the accuracy to analyze rare genetic variants, especially if the phenotypic distribution is unbalanced or extremely unbalanced. Compared to Tractor, SPAmix does not require local ancestry information and can be straightforwardly applicable to a multi-way admixed population. Meanwhile, SPAmix can also be extended to SPAmix<sub>local</sub> in which the local ancestry can be incorporated if available. In addition, we propose SPAmix<sub>CCT</sub> to combine the p values of SPAmix and SPAmix<sub>local</sub> via Cauchy combination (CCT). SPAmix<sub>local</sub> performs close to Tractor when analyzing quantitative traits and is more accurate when analyzing binary traits with an unbalanced case-control ratio. And SPAmix<sub>CCT </sub>is an optimal unified approach for various cross-ancestry genetic architectures. Extensive simulation studies and real data analyses of 369,314 UK Biobank individuals from multiple ancestries demonstrated that SPAmix is scalable and can discover novel hits while controlling type I error rates well.</p>
Data and R code for “Individual-level variation in reproductive effort in chestnut oak (Quercus montana Willd.) and black oak (Q. velutina Lam.)”, Forest Ecology and Management, 2022
Masting is a population-level reproductive strategy, where individuals synchronize large but intermittent seed production. Despite the high degree of synchrony at the population level, there can be considerable variation in reproduction among individuals (intraspecific variation). Here, we use 18 years of acorn production data from individual chestnut oak and black oak from control and thinned stands, to understand what factors influence individual differences in reproductive effort and variability. We included a variety of tree-level measurements, environmental characteristics, and measurements from tree cores to determine if certain characteristics were associated variations in reproduction. We considered both mean annual acorn production per m2 crown and interannual variation in acorn production (CV) as response variables. We also classified individuals as super producers (i.e., those that consistently produce more acorns than others), good, fair and poor producers (i.e., those that consistently produce less or have a higher number of failure years). In chestnut oak, 14% of the individuals were classified as super producers and contributed 34% of the total acorns, while poor producers made up 35% of the trees and contributed only 16% to total acorn production. In black oak, super producers (14% of the individuals) contributed 31% of total acorns and poor producers (24% of the individuals) contributed only 9% of the acorns. Diameter at breast height (DBH) was the most consistent variable for explaining intraspecific variation in reproductive effort and variability (i.e., larger individuals had higher mean acorn production for both chestnut oak and black oak, and lower CV for black oak). Other variables that influenced reproduction and variation included elevation and clay content for chestnut oak, and slope for black oak. We found no significant effect from the thinning treatment on acorn production. Our results illustrate how tree-level and environmental characte
Individual capture history affects site use and defensive behavior of foraging eastern copperheads at a recreational site in eastern Kentucky, 2022
This package contains behavioral, demographic, and environmental data from a study investigating the role individual capture history plays in shaping foraging and defensive behaviors of eastern copperheads (Agkistrodon contortrix) at a ~0.1 hectare recreational site in the Daniel Boone National Forest, Wolfe county, Kentucky. Behavioral data was collected using a four-stage trial simulating in-situ encounters between humans and vipers, where each stage is scored on a 0-3 scale according to the most extreme behavior exhibited. Each individual's total score was the sum of scores in Stages 1-4. Snakes were located via nightly visual surveys of the site during copperheads' active season. Each copperhead was caught after the conclusion of its' behavioral trial, and demographic information including sex, mass, snout-vent length, and total length were recorded. For snakes that had been detected and tagged at this site previous, PIT tag ID and number of years the individual was previously recaptured were also recorded. Air temperature, relative humidity, and soil temperature at a depth of 3 cm were recorded. Within our study system, result suggest that copperheads' defensive response to human approach is best explained by individual capture history, as opposed to temperature or body size.
Disturbance legacies and resilience simulation using an individual-based forest landscape model on the Andrews Experimental Forest
Disturbances are key drivers of forest ecosystem dynamics, and forests are well adapted to their natural disturbance regimes. However, as a result of climate change, disturbance frequency is expected to increase in the future in many regions. It is not yet clear how such changes might affect forest ecosystems, and which mechanisms contribute to (current and future) disturbance resilience. We here studied the 6364-ha HJ Andrews Experimental Forest landscape to investigate how patches of remnant old-growth trees (as one important class of biological legacies) affect the resilience of forest ecosystems to disturbance. Using the spatially explicit, individual-based forest landscape model iLand we analyzed the effect of three different levels of remnant patches (0%, 12%, and 24% of the landscape) on 500-year recovery trajectories after a large, high severity wildfire. In addition, we evaluated how three different levels of fire frequency (no fire, a historic fire return interval of 262 years, and a reduced fire return interval of 131 years) modulate the effects of initial legacies. The study investigated effects of legacies on the resilience of forest ecosystem structure (represented by canopy complexity as described by the rumple index), composition (proportion of late-seral species), and functioning (total ecosystem carbon storage). For each scenario of initial legacy and fire return interval 25 replicates were simulated. More information on the simulation methodology as well as the code and executable used for this study can be obtained at http://iLand.boku.ac.at. The dataset is completed and no further analyses are planned at this point. The results are published in Ecological Applications http://dx.doi.org/10.1890/14-0255.1.

Individually experienced temperatures: a heat exposure study in five greater Phoenix, AZ area neighborhoods (2014)
Urban environmental health hazards, including exposure to extreme heat, have become increasingly important to understand in light of ongoing climate change and urbanization. Most current knowledge about heat-health risks is based on measurements of outdoor air temperatures. Further, neighborhoods are often considered a homogenous and appropriate unit with which to assess risk and implement intervention strategies. Little is known about temperatures individuals actually experience within neighborhoods and cities, given differential access to cooling resources, complex activity patterns, and heterogeneous thermal and social environments. This dataset contains information collected during a study about individually experienced temperatures (IETs) within and between neighborhoods in Phoenix, Arizona. In September 2014, 80 research participants were recruited from 5 Phoenix-area neighborhoods and equipped with air temperature sensors that recorded IETs as they went about their daily lives. Surveys, activity log phone calls, and exit interviews were used to collect additional information from participants about demographics (age, race, gender), housing status, activities during the week, lifestyle, occupation, orientation toward the neighborhood, uses of indoor and outdoor spaces as well as public and private cooling resources. 86% of participants (69 out of 80) filled out background surveys, 89% of participants (71 out of 80) filled out daily surveys, 31% of participants (25 out of 80) engaged in activity log calls, and 48% of participants (39 out of 80) participated in exit interviews. The research team found that 1) variance in mean IET was relatively equal within each neighborhood and 2) significant differences existed in average mean IETs between neighborhoods. Data collected in this study help explain how intra-city differences in outdoor temperatures manifest themselves into IETs of urban residents. Individual differences are an overlooked determinant of heat expos
Individual and community flowering phenology, seed counts and pollinator visitation rates in shrub and open plots across Niwot Ridge, 2019 - 2021.
Climate-change induced alterations in environmental conditions in the alpine tundra has led to the expansion of woody shrubs, known as “shrubification.” Shrubification is thought to change microclimatic conditions, potentially leading to changes in plant community composition. Shrubification has been taking place at Niwot Ridge, a Long Term Ecological Research site nestled in the mountains of Colorado, for the past 40 years. Thus far, Niwot Ridge has seen some change in alpine plant communities due to shrubification, and changes in plant reproductive capacity and success could lead to future alterations of community composition. One important aspect in plant reproductive success is the timing of flowering, known as flowering phenology. Flowering phenology is controlled partially by environmental conditions, and thus is somewhat plastic for many species. In the first part of my thesis, I explore how shrubification may be causing changes in flowering phenology for 21 different plant species in the alpine tundra community at Niwot Ridge. I conducted an observational study over three years, monitoring the number of flowers present in 54 pairs of shrub-influenced and open plots, totaling 108 plots. I found that there is no difference in the flowering phenology between open and shrub-influenced plots. There is a measurable difference in the number of flowers produced between shrub and open plots, with open plots having more flowers on average, This difference is likely due to there being fewer plants in shrub-influenced plots. A second aspect explores shrub effects on the reproductive success of five different alpine species. In the field season of 2021, I took seeds from these five species from 12 pairs of shrub and open plots, totaling 24 plots. I counted and weighed the seeds to determine reproductive success; there was no difference in reproductive success between shrub and open plots.
Individual plant phenology data for Saddle nodal plots, 1984 - 1992.
Phenological data were collected weekly for permanently tagged plants located in 14 permanent plots (refered to as the nodal plots) in the Niwot Ridge Saddle area. 12 of the plots represent the 6 plant communities or noda (two from each nodum) identified in the Saddle (May 1973). The two remaing plots were located adjacent to two temporary snowfences erected near Saddle grid stake 49. The plots were 1x10 m, and were further divided into 10, 1x1 m quadrats. Plant species studied include Acomastylis (Geum) rossii, Bistorta (Polygonum) bistortoides and Bistorta (Polygonum) vivipara. Ten individuals of each species present in a plot were randomly selected. Plants were tagged approximately two inches behind each plant with an aluminum tag labelled with the species abbreviation and plant number. Tagged plant locations were determined using a Cartesian coordinate system with the outside corner of quadrat 1 serving as the origin. These locations are on permanent file at INSTAAR. Data collection began on 1 June, or as plots became snow free, and continued until senescence. Missing tags were replaced during the first week of data collection. Missing plants were replaced by a new plant in immediate area and the new coordinates were recorded.
Daily presence of individual tagged striped bass as measured by stationary receiver detections in Plum Island Estuary in 2009
Stationary receiver data was collected to measure striped bass distribution in Plum Island Estuary during the time period that they are in New England during their summer foraging migration. Acoustic telemetry was used to tag and detect individual fish throughout the estuary.
Individual Towns that are Fully or Partially in the Ipswich Watershed - Idrisi Raster File.
This datalayer is part of a group of layers used for research in the Ipswich River Watershed. This layer includes the area within each town in the Ipswich River Watershed. This map contains complete information and was derived from the ip30_noinfo_towns layer.
