Find research datasets worth reusing

Educational data collected from parents - regarding the analysis of online activities in schools in Romania (during the Covid-19 pandemic, March 2020 - April 2020)

The responses of the 784 parents were collected through the questionnaire available at: <a href="https://forms.gle/Km8WE5QamrYYgXJi7" target="_new" rel="noopener">https://forms.gle/Km8WE5QamrYYgXJi7</a> It was designed with various types of responses, including binomial (yes/no), polynomial (multiple options), and open-ended responses, to capture a comprehensive range of data. This combined approach allows for both quantitative analysis of fixed-response questions and qualitative insights from open-ended questions. Patterns, correlations, and differences between various demographic groups and their experiences and attitudes toward online education can be identified. To protect the identity of the respondents and to obtain accurate responses, all data collected from teachers was anonymous. We did not collect any personal information whatsoever. This aspect was made clear to the respondents in the description of the questionnaire.

Self-Annotated Wearable Activity Data

Our dataset contains 2 weeks of approx. 8-9 hours of acceleration data per day from 11 participants wearing a <a href="https://shop.espruino.com/banglejs">Bangle.js Version 1</a> smartwatch with our <a href="https://github.com/kristofvl/BangleApps/tree/master/apps/activate_test">firmware</a> installed. The dataset contains annotations from  4 different commonly used annotation methods utilized in user studies that focus on in-the-wild data. These methods can be grouped in user-driven, in situ annotations - which are performed before or during the activity is recorded - and recall methods - where participants annotate their data in hindsight at the end of the day. The participants had the task to label their activities using (1) a button located on the smartwatch, (2) the activity tracking app <a href="https://www.strava.com/">Strava</a>, (3) a (hand)written diary and (4) a tool to visually inspect and label activity data, called <a href="https://github.com/mad-lab-fau/mad-gui">MAD-GUI</a>. Methods (1)-(3) are used in both weeks, however method (4) is introduced in the beginning of the second study week. The accelerometer data is recorded with 25 Hz, a sensitivity of ±8g and is stored in a csv format. Labels and raw data are not yet combined. You can either write your own script to label the data or follow the instructions in our corresponding <a href="https://github.com/ahoelzemann/annotationMatters">Github repository.</a> The following unique classes are included in our dataset: laying, sitting, walking, running, cycling, bus_driving, car_driving, vacuum_cleaning, laundry, cooking, eating, shopping, showering, yoga, sport, playing_games, desk_work, guitar_playing, gardening, table_tennis, badminton, horse_riding. However, many activities are very participant specific and therefore only performed by one of the participants. The labels are also stored as a .csv file and have the following columns: week_day, start, stop, activity, layer Example: week2_day2,10:30:00,11:00:00,vacuum_cleaning,d The layer columns specifies which annotation method was used to set this label. The following identifiers can be found in the column: b: in situ button a: in situ app d: self-recall diary g: time-series recall labelled with a the MAD-GUI   The corresponding publication is currently under review.

Physical stabilization of water-soluble PVA nanofibrous materials functionalized with biologically active substances

Tissue engineering aims to develop materials that enhance biological activity and promote tissue healing and regeneration. One promising approach is to functionalize nanofibrous materials with antimicrobial substances, such as lipophosphonoxin (LPPO), and use water-soluble polymers like polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to incorporate bioactive molecules into fibers. However, water-soluble materials often face the issue of "burst release," releasing over 90% of the active substances within the initial 24 hours. This research focuses on preparing functionalized nanofibrous materials based on PVA containing the experimental antimicrobial compound LPPO and subsequent physical stabilization of the materials using the "Heat treatment" method. The applied stabilization successfully reduced the incorporated substance's release rate by up to 50%. The resulting materials have the potential to provide functional cross-linked PVA nanofiber scaffolds for regenerative medicine applications in large and chronic skin injuries.

Different effects of Drosophila suzukii oviposition and larval activity on fruit rot and mold

Understanding symbioses and the selective pressures on symbionts requires elucidating how the different behaviors and phenotypes of hosts affect microbes. When female fruit-flies of the genus Drosophila deposit their eggs, they trigger substantial rots (i.e. the development of yeasts and bacteria) and molds (i.e. the development of filamentous fungi). It is however unknown whether these microbial growths are due to female oviposition per-se, or the activity of the larvae that emerge from the eggs. We investigated the specific effects of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) female oviposition and larval activity on rot and mold development in fresh, on-plant strawberry and raspberry. To disentangle the effects of egg deposition from that of larval presence some females were mated with sterile males, as occurs when the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is deployed.   This “sterile treatment” without larvae produced intermediate intensities of rot and mold development, greater than “controls” unexposed to flies, but lower than the “fertile treatment” exposed to fertile flies. The proportion of berries too rotten for market access 3 days post-exposure was however equivalent in the sterile and the fertile treatments. But mold after 3 days was only pervasive in the fertile treatment and on strawberry. These results show specific effects of oviposition and larval activity on the development of yeast, bacteria and molds. The study indicates that when D. suzukii females are present in the field, damages to crops cannot be reduced by the release of sterile males. Instead, the sterile insect technique should be used to prevent population build-up.

Electrochemical activity of several compositions in the system Ag-Pd-Pt-Ru for the oxygen reduction reaction in 0.05 M KOH solution pH 12.5

The dataset comprises electrochemical screening data of several compositions from three different thin film materials libraries in the system Ag-Pd-Pt-Ru. Given are three csv files that contain the measurement coordinates, the chemical composition in atomic percent and the electrochemical current that was evaluated from linear sweep voltammograms at a potential of 0.85V vs. RHE.  Experimental description Materials libraries were fabricated by co-sputtering thin films on 100 mm diameter sapphire wafers (c-plane) from 4 elemental tar-gets. The targets were confocally aligned to a 100 mm substrate (target-substrate distance approx. 12 cm). Target materials had a purity of 99.99,%. Ar (99.9999 %) was used as a sputter gas. The deposition pressure was 0.667 Pa. The film thickness was 100 - 150 nm. The chemical composition of the materials libraries was measured by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) with an acceleration voltage of 20 kV. 81 measurements were done on a regular grid of 9x9 (8.5 mm spacing) on each library. Linear regression was used to interpolate the composition over the 342 measurement areas of a 4.5 mm grid that was used in the scanning droplet cell experiments. Electrochemical measurements were conducted with the use of a high-throughput scanning droplet cell (SDC). The SDC head incorporates counter (Pt wire) and reference (Ag|AgCl|3 M KCl) electrodes and a teflon tip with 1 mm diameter. The materials library is connected as working electrode, e.g. the surface of the investigated sample in every spot where the tip touches the sample. The electrolyte was replaced for every measurement area. Linear sweep voltammograms were measured in 0.05 M KOH, pH 12.5, with a scan rate of 10 mV/s. All potentials are reported versus the RHE according to the following equation: URHE (V) = U(Ag|AgCl|3 M KCl) + 0.210 + (0.059 * pH), where U(Ag|AgCl|3 M KCl) is the potential measured versus Ag|AgCl|3 M KCl reference electrode, 0.210 V is the standard potential of the Ag|AgCl|3 M KCl reference electrode at 25◦C. Note that 0.059 is the result of (RT )· (nF)−1, where R is the gas constant, T is the temperature (298 K), F is the Faraday constant, and n is the number of electrons transferred during the reaction.

Sequence-dependent activity and compartmentalization of foreign DNA in a eukaryotic nucleus

In eukaryotes, DNA-associated protein complexes co-evolve with genomic sequence to orchestrate chromatin folding. Here, we investigate the relationship between DNA sequence and the spontaneous loading and activity of chromatin components in the absence of co-evolution. Using bacterial genomes integrated into S. cerevisiae, which diverged from yeast 1.5 billion years ago, we show that nucleosomes, cohesins and the transcriptional machinery can lead to the formation of two different chromatin archetypes, one transcribed and the other silent, independently of heterochromatin formation. These two archetypes also form on eukaryotic exogenous sequences, depend on sequence composition, and can be predicted using neural networks trained on the native genome. They do not mix in the nucleus, leading to a bipartite nuclear compartmentalization, reminiscent of the organization of vertebrate nuclei.
