Data from: Carbon and Water Balances in a Watermelon Crop Mulched with Biodegradable Films in Mediterranean Conditions at Extended Growth Season Scale
<p><span>Abstract</span></p> <p><span>The uploaded data are relative to the investigation around (i) the carbon source/sink nature and, further, (ii) the water and carbon balances, of a drip-irrigated and mulched watermelon. The crop was cultivated under the semi-arid climate of the Apulia region, in south Italy.</span></p> <p><span>The used mulching films were biodegradable as indicate by the producer; plants and some non-standard fruits were left on the soil as green manure after harvesting, thus, the experiment spanned from planting to the subsequent crop (6 months of continuous measurement from June to November 2023). </span></p> <p><span>The results detailed in the original publication indicate that mulching films contribute to carbon sequestration in the soil (+19.3 gC m<sup>−2</sup>). However, this mulched watermelon represents a net carbon source, with a net biome exchange, as loss from ecosystems, equal to +230 gC m<sup>−2</sup>. This is primarily due to the substantial amount of carbon exported through marketable fruits. Fixed water scheduling led to water waste through deep percolation (approximately 1/6 of the water supplied), which also contributed to the loss of organic carbon via leaching (−4.3 gC m<sup>−2</sup>). </span></p> <p><span> </span></p> <p><span>Methods</span></p> <p><span>Site and crop</span></p> <p><span>The field site was at the CREA-AA Research Unit experimental farm located in southern Italy (Rutigliano–Bari, 41 01’ N, 17°01’ E, altitude 147 m a.s.l.)., characterized by a Mediterranean semi-arid climate (average annual rainfall of 535 mm). The soil is classified as Lithic Rhodoxeralf, with a clay texture, stable structure, shallow profile (0.6–1.1 m) and rapid drainage due to an underlying cracked limestone subsoil. The SOC content averages around 12.0 g kg<sup>−1</sup>. The field capacity and the permanent wilting point volumetric water contents are 0.36 and 0.21 m<sup>3</sup> m<sup>−3</sup>, respectively; with a bulk density of 1.15 Mg m<sup>−3</sup>, the available soil water ranges from 80 to 140 mm.</span></p> <p><span>The studied watermelon crop (seedless var. Lion king), followed a broccoli cabbage crop harvested in April and partially incorporated (0.81 kg m<sup>−2</sup> of fresh biomass in a soil layer depth of 0.30 m, corresponding to 0.69 kgH2O m<sup>−2</sup>) as green manure on 25 May 2023. Main tillage at medium depth ploughing (0.30 m) and seedbed preparation were performed between 25 and 30 May 2023; the biodegradable film mulch (model PC 100 d8, BASF, Italy, 1 m width) was applied on 1 June 2023. On the same day, driplines (2.1 Lh<sup>−1</sup> emitters, 0.60 m apart) and the main organic fertilization (Orga-Kem 6.11.8 + 11CaO, 300 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>) were also applied. The watermelon plants were transplanted on 9 June at a spacing of 2.70 m between rows and 1 m between plants, covering an area of about 4.0 ha, with a density of approximately 3200 plants ha<sup>−1</sup>. Every 6 rows, the inter-row distance was 5 m to facilitate machinery passage. The first irrigation was performed the day before planting. Crop management adhered to the usual treatments in the area including mechanical weed removal every 4 weeks, irrigation around three times per week to maintain optimal soil water conditions and monthly fertigation (ammonium sulphate 50 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>, magnesium nitrate 30 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>, calcium nitrate 60 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>, mycorrhizae 20 kg ha<sup>−1</sup>). The scalar harvest of marketable fruits occurred between 28 and 31 August 2023. After harvesting, on 25 September 2023, the fresh plant residues (0.6 kg m<sup>−2</sup> of fresh biomass, corresponding to 0.49 kgH2O m<sup>−2</sup>), unharvested fruits (4.0 kg m<sup>−2</sup> of fresh material, corresponding to 3.7 kgH2O m<sup>−2</sup>) and the mulching film were chopped by a tractor shredder and ploughed in two steps, on 2 and 13 October 2023, to a soil depth of 0.30 m. Measurements concluded at the end of November 2023, when tillage for the new winter crop commenced.</span></p> <p><span> </span></p> <p><span>Measurements of H<sub>2</sub>O and CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes; partitioning in evaporation, transpiration, photosynthesis and respiration</span></p> <p><span>The eddy covariance technique was employed to monitor water vapor (H<sub>2</sub>O) and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) fluxes. The equipment comprised a three-dimensional sonic anemometer (uSonic 3 Scientific, Metek GmbH, 25337 Elmshorn, Germany) and a fast response open-path infrared gas analyzer (LI-7500, Li-COR Inc., Lincoln, NE, USA). The three wind components, sonic temperature and atmospheric concentrations of CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>O were continuously measured at 1.5 m above the crop canopy, with the sensor height adjusted to follow crop growth, reaching a maximum of 1.75 m. </span></p> <p><span>Data were recorded at a frequency of 10 Hz on a dedicated computer using the MeteoFlux software (Servizi Territorio, S.n.c., Cinisello Balsamo, Italy) and were stored on an hourly scale. Post-processing and computation of hourly fluxes of H<sub>2</sub>O (mmol m<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>) and CO<sub>2</sub> (</span>μ<span>mol m<sup>−2</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>) were conducted using EddyPro software, v7.0.9 (</span><a href="http://www.licor.com/eddypro"><span>http://www.licor.com/eddypro</span></a><span>), applying 60 min block averaging, double coordinate rotation, the statistical test, the maximum cross-covariance method, and the WPL density correction.</span></p> <p><span>H<sub>2</sub>O and CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes were partitioned into transpiration, evaporation, photosynthesis and respiration, respectively, using the flux variance similarity method. This method utilizes the Monin–Obukhov similarity theory to separate stomatal (photosynthesis, Fp, and transpiration, Ft) from non-stomatal (respiration, Fr, and evaporation, Fe) processes (Palatella et al., 2014). the H<sub>2</sub>O and CO<sub>2</sub> EC fluxes were partitioned using an adaptation of the code in Phyton provided by (Skaggs et al., 2018) and downloaded from <span> </span></span><a href="https://github.com/usda-arsussl/fluxpart"><span>https://github.com/usda-arsussl/fluxpart</span></a><span> (V0.2.10).</span></p>
Road-deposited sediment wash-off experiments on a large-scale laboratory
<p><span>This dataset includes raw and processed data from a series of large-scale laboratory tests that were conducted to assess and study the wash-off process of RDS (Road deposited sediments) considering variations in rainfall intensity, for two scenarios: 30 mm/h and 50 mm/h; and modifying RDS loads applied on BLOCK for three scenarios: 100 g/m<sup>2</sup>, 150 g/m<sup>2</sup>, 200 g/m<sup>2</sup>. First, the hydraulic was detailly characterized including rainfall intensity maps, water flows, surface water depths and surface water velocities for both rainfall intensities tested. A synthetic granulometric of RDS was homogeneously distributed on the physical model surface and then washed-off by the simulated rainfall. A total of 31 water samples were collected at the manhole discharge per each experiment. Total RDS mass that remain on the surface and inside the gully was collected by a wet vacuum after the rainfall event. A mass balance considering the initial RDS applied and the total RDS recollected in the three samples locations, was calculated. TUR (Turbidity), EC (Conductivity), TS (Total Solids), TSS (Total suspended solids), TDS (Total dissolved solids), RDS mass by flow, and RDS mass flow variables were measured for the RDS samples recollected in the Manhole discharge. The behaviour of each RDS fraction was also analysed through laser diffraction (</span>Beckman Coulter LS 13 320, Aqueous Liquids Module<span>). This work is part of a Transnational Access developed by the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas (Colombia) and Universidade da Coruña (Spain) within the scope of Co-UDlabs project. Data may be used to increase knowledge on road-deposited sediment wash-off process, allowing also for calibrating, developing, and validating new and existing urban wash-off models.</span></p>

Test dataset for "Steam condensation scaled experiment in the presence of non-condensable gases for small modular reactor containment passive safety"
<p>This study presents scaled experiments using steam condensation with non-condensable gas (NCG)—helium (He), simulating hydrogen, and nitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>)—as these experiments are pivotal for water-cooled reactor passive containment cooling system (PCCS) design and analysis. Research into PCCSs for small modular reactors (SMRs) is especially important in light of SMR system design; however, studies in the literature reflect limitations due to test geometry and operational condition variations, without considering SMR prototypic design. To address these challenges, a scaled test facility was developed to accurately replicate SMR PCCSs. This facility includes vertical down-flow condensing test sections with 1-, 2-, and 4-in.-diameter condensing tubes, accompanied by annular water cooling. Experiments were conducted using both superheated and saturated steam, with steam mass flow rates in the presence of NCG varying from: (a) 55 to 66 kg/hr. of steam, and 1.8 to 22 kg/hr. of He (as the NCG); (b) 58 to 63 kg/hr. of steam, and 4.4 to 13.3 kg/hr. of N<sub>2</sub> (as the NCG). Test data were collected on (a) the axial temperatures of the annular cooling water; (b) the outer wall temperature of the condensers; and (c) the mass flow rate, temperature, and pressure at the test section inlets and outlets. These primary test data were used in conjunction with a standard data reduction methodology to estimate essential thermal parameters such as heat fluxes, heat transfer coefficients, and condensation rates. The effects of NCGs on steam condensation within the geometry of the scaled test sections were then presented in regard to various testing conditions.</p>

EMBERSim: A Large-Scale Databank for Boosting Similarity Search in Malware Analysis
<p>In recent years there has been a shift from heuristics-based malware detection towards machine learning, which proves to be more robust in the current heavily adversarial threat landscape. While we acknowledge machine learning to be better equipped to mine for patterns in the increasingly high amounts of similar-looking files, we also note a remarkable scarcity of the data available for similarity-targeted research. Moreover, we observe that the focus in the few related works falls on quantifying similarity in malware, often overlooking the clean data. This one-sided quantification is especially dangerous in the context of detection bypass. We propose to address the deficiencies in the space of similarity research on binary files, starting from EMBER — one of the largest malware classification data sets. We enhance EMBER with similarity information as well as malware class tags, to enable further research in the similarity space. Our contribution is threefold: (1) we publish EMBERSim, an augmented version of EMBER, that includes similarity-informed tags; (2) we enrich EMBERSim with automatically determined malware class tags using the open-source tool AVClass on VirusTotal data and (3) we describe and share the implementation for our class scoring technique and leaf similarity method.</p>

LAGOS-NE-LOCUS v1.01: A module for LAGOS-NE, a multi-scaled geospatial and temporal database of lake ecological context and water quality for thousands of U.S. Lakes: 1925-2013
This data package, LAGOS-NE-LOCUS v1.01, is 1 of 5 data packages associated with the LAGOS-NE database-- the LAke multi-scaled GeOSpatial and temporal database. Three of the data packages each contain different types of data for 51,101 lakes and reservoirs larger than 4 ha in 17 lake-rich U.S. states to support research on thousands of lakes. These three package are: (1) LAGOS-NE-LOCUS v1.01: lake location and physical characteristics for all lakes. (2) LAGOS-NEGEO v1.05: ecological context (i.e., the land use, geologic, climatic, and hydrologic setting of lakes) for all lakes. These geospatial data were created by processing national-scale and publicly-accessible datasets to quantify numerous metrics at multiple spatial resolutions. And, (3) LAGOS-NE-LIMNO v1.087.1: in-situ measurements of lake water quality from the past three decades for approximately 2,600-12,000 lakes, depending on the variable. This module was created by harmonizing 87 water quality datasets from federal, state, tribal, and non-profit agencies, university researchers, and citizen scientists. The other two data packages contain supporting data for the LAGOS-NE database: (4) LAGOS-NE-GIS v1.0: the GIS data layers for lakes, wetlands, and streams, as well as the spatial resolutions that were used to create the LAGOS-NE-GEO module. (5) LAGOS-NE-RAWDATA: the original 87 datasets of lake water quality prior to processing, the R code that converts the original data formats into LAGOS-NE data format, and the log file from this procedure to create LAGOS-NE. This latter data package supports the reproducibility of LAGOS-NE-LIMNO. The LAGOS-NE-LOCUS v1.01 module includes information on the physical location and features of all lakes > 4 ha. The information provided for this population of lakes includes: lake unique identifiers, lake area, perimeter, latitude and longitude, and the zone IDs that the lake is located within (e.g., state, county, the hydrologic unit at each level (4, 8, and 12).
