MooringSense D3.2 - Public simulation dataset

Deliverable 3.2 of the MooringSense project consists of a simulation dataset, generated  with a digital twin of the SATH 10 MW floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT), using the simulation workbench SIMA. In SIMA, two software run simultaneously, viz. SIMO and RIFLEX. While the former solves the equations of motions for rigid-bodies, the latter is based on a finite-element formulation for slender marine structures and wind turbine blades. Wind turbine aerodynamics are included in the model through a BEM formulation, including dynamic wake effects. The modelled environmental conditions include waves, current, and turbulent wind. The load cases correspond to a number of operational and idling conditions as specified in IEC 61400-1, with associated sea states corresponding to the Buchan Deep site. In addition, a number of mooring line failures are considered. The dataset in the repository corresponds to the public part of the results, which is limited to the wind turbine time series.

Rapid publishing for public health books against COVID-19

A YouTube version of the video is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6WUUTv-GIc&t=3s&ab_channel=SimonWorthington">available here</a>. Presented are two case studies covering the barriers to be overcome to fully automate the production workflow for Open Access multi-format books, to produce and distribute the following – ebook, print-on-demand, screen PDF, webbook, website, and an interoperable source. The first case study involves producing eight book sprints for <a href="https://github.com/akademie-oeffentliches-gesundheitswesen">training manuals</a>, some with MOOC modules, for the Academy of Public Health in Dusseldorf (Germany) which was run as a <a href="https://github.com/TIBHannover/Rapid-Collaborative-Health-Publishing">research cooperation</a> with the Open Science Lab, TIB – German National Library of Science and Technology.  The second case study involves converting the existing reports of <a href="https://www.independentsage.org/">Independent SAGE</a> (UK) – as Open Access, multi-format, enabling multi-channel distribution, and deposing in academic repositories.  The indie_SAGE project involved creating a volunteer academic working group to carry out the work. Here it is important to add that I am acting as a private individual. The Independent Science Advisory Group for Emergencies (indie_SAGE) was formed in May 2020 by the former chief Scientific Adviser to the UK government Sir David King, quote, ‘on how to minimise deaths and support Britain’s recovery from the COVID-19 crisis’.  The <a href="https://github.com/Independent-SAGE/Technical-Publishing-Working-Group">working group</a> is newly formed and welcomes help and volunteers!

Expanded response data from Perrin et al. - Contrasts in Public Perception of the Role of Alien Species in Climate Driven Species Turnover

Responses given by 30 respondents from 3 different interest groups on their attitudes to climate change driven species turnover in Norwegian freshwater lakes. The groups are a) recreational fishers, b) individuals responsible for management decisions regarding freshwater lakes or rivers and c) academics involved in research regarding freshwater lakes or rivers. Use of square brackets indicates details have been altered so as to preserve anonymity of respondents. A total of 30 interviews were conducted between August of 2019 and April of 2020. Interviews lasted anywhere from 10 to 50 minutes. Of the 30 interviews, 16 were conducted in person, with the remaining 14 conducted via web meeting. Interview respondents were chosen using the snowball method, as described by Miles and Huberman <a href="https://paperpile.com/c/6PEtIR/dSUU/?noauthor=1">(1994)</a>. This requires an initial pool of contacts, who subsequently nominate other respondents that are suitable for the study.  In compliance with requirements of the Norwegian National Research Ethics Committee, all respondents were given an overview of the topic beforehand, assured that their responses would be anonymous, and informed of the intended use of their responses. All interviews were anonymously recorded and subsequently transcribed verbatim. Any details which might have allowed the individuals to be identified based on descriptions of their roles or locations were removed. As interviews were anonymous, ethics approval from the Norwegian National Research Ethics Committee was not required.

Comparison of different thyroid surgical procedures and their outcomes/complications for benign disease in relation to expertise of the surgeon in a public hospital of a developing country over 2 decades

Objective: To compare the frequency of postoperative complications with thyroid surgical procedures and the expertise of the surgeon. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study from 1999 to 2018. Setting: A public sector tertiary care teaching hospital. Participants and methods: Patients undergoing thyroid surgery (lobectomy with isthmusectomy, subtotal thyroidectomy (STT), near total thyroidectomy (NTT), or total thyroidectomy (TT)) were included. Expertise level 1, 2 and 3 (L1, L2, L3) of the surgeon was based on years of experience or number of thyroid surgeries to their credit. Primary and Secondary Outcome Measures: Postoperative complications (hypocalcemia, recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) damage, airway obstruction, hemorrhage and mortality) were measured against type of thyroid surgery and expertise of surgeon. Results: 833 thyroid surgeries were performed on 695 (83.43%) females and 138 (16.57%) males. 502 (60.26%) STT, 228 (27.37%) TT, 61 (7.32%) NTT, 42 (5.04%) lobectomies with isthmusectomies were performed, with LI, 2, and 3 surgeons performing 21.25%, 45.74% and 33.01%, respectively. L1, 2 and 3 surgeons caused 49.47%, 33.45% and 17.08% of adverse events respectively. The permanent hypocalcemia, RLN damage and mortality were significantly (p<0.05) more common in surgeries performed by L1 compared with L2 and L3. Transient and permanent hypocalcemia, transient and permanent RLN damage and mortality were significantly (p<0.01) more common for total thyroidectomy compared to subtotal thyroidectomy. Conclusion: Minimizing the occurrence of complications like permanent hypocalcemia, RLN damage and mortality, expertise of the surgeon and anticipated difficulty of the procedure needs to be taken into account while selecting a thyroid procedure. Keywords: Thyroid surgery, Total thyroidectomy, Subtotal thyroidectomy, near total thyroidectomy, Lobectomy with isthmusectomy, hypoparathyroidism, hypocalcemia, recurrent laryngeal nerve, postoperative complications

Data and R Code for publication: Should dispersers be fast learners? Modelling the role of cognition in dispersal

Both cognitive abilities and dispersal tendencies can vary strongly between individuals. Since cognitive abilities may help dealing with unknown circumstances it is conceivable that dispersers may rely more heavily on learning abilities than residents. However, cognitive abilities are costly and leaving a familiar place might result in losing the advantage of having learned to deal with local conditions. Thus, individuals which invested in learning to cope with local conditions may be more reluctant to leave their natal place. In order to disentangle the complex relationship between dispersal and learning abilities we implemented individual-based simulations. By allowing for developmental plasticity, individuals could either develop a "resident" or "dispersal" cognitive phenotype. In line with our expectations, the correlation between learning abilities and dispersal could take any direction, depending how much time individuals had to recoup their investment in cognition. Both, longevity and the timing of dispersal within lifecycles determine the time individuals have to recoup that investment and thus crucially influence this correlation. We therefore suggest that species' life-history will strongly impact the expected cognitive abilities of dispersers, relative to their resident conspecifics, and that cognitive abilities might be an integral part of dispersal syndromes.

The Buzsaki Lab Databank - Public electrophysiological datasets from awake animals

The Buzsaki Lab is proud to present a large selection of experimental data available for public access: <a href="https://buzsakilab.com/wp/database/">https://buzsakilab.com/wp/database/</a>. We publicly share more than a thousand sessions (about 40TB of raw and spike- and LFP-processed data) via our public data repository. The datasets are from freely moving rodents and include sleep-task-sleep sessions (3 to 24 hrs continuous recording sessions) in various brain structures, including metadata. We are happy to assist you in using the data. Our goal is that by sharing these data, other users can provide new insights, extend, contradict, or clarify our conclusions. The databank contains electrophysiological recordings performed in freely moving rats and mice collected by investigators in the Buzsaki Lab over several years (a subset from head-fixed mice). Sessions have been collected with extracellular electrodes using high-channel-count silicon probes, with spike sorted single units, and intracellular and juxtacellular combined with extracellular electrodes. Several sessions include physiologically and optogenetically identified units. The sessions have been collected from various brain region pairs: the hippocampus, thalamus, amygdala, post-subiculum, septal region, and the entorhinal cortex, and various neocortical regions. In most behavioral tasks, the animals performed spatial behaviors (linear mazes and open fields), preceded and followed by long sleep sessions. Brain state classification is provided. Getting started The top menu “Databank” serves as a navigational menu to the databank. The metadata describing the experiments is stored in a relational database which means that there are many entry points for exploring the data. The databank is organized by projects, animal subjects, and sessions. Accessing and downloading the datasets We share the data through two services: our public <a href="https://app.globus.org/file-manager?origin_id=558c54fe-cc41-11e8-8c6a-0a1d4c5c824a&origin_path=%2F">Globus.org endpoint</a> and our webshare: <a href="https://buzsakilab.nyumc.org/datasets/">buzsakilab.nyumc.org</a>. A subset of the datasets is also available at <a href="https://buzsakilab.com/wp/resources/datasets/">CRCNS.org</a>.

Datasets used for the publication: State-dependence explains individual variation in nest defence behaviour in a long-lived bird

The uploaded datasets were used to test if variation in states predicts nest defence behaviour (a 'risky' behaviour) in a long-lived species, the barnacle goose (Branta leucopsis). Repeated measures of nest defence towards a human intruder (flight initiation distance or FID) of females of known age were collected during 15 breeding seasons. Increasing values of FID represent increasing shyness. Adaptive models have predicted that an individual's residual reproductive value or 'asset' is an important state variable underlying variation in such risk-taking behaviour. Hence, we used this data to investigate how nest defence varies as a function of time of the season and individual age, two state variables that can vary between and within individuals and determine asset.

Data from: Foraging zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) are public information users rather than conformists

Social learning enables adaptive information acquisition provided that it is not random but selective. To understand species typical decision-making and to trace the evolutionary origins of social learning, the heuristics social learners use need to be identified. Here, we experimentally tested the nature of majority influence in the zebra finch. Subjects simultaneously observed two demonstrator groups differing in relative and absolute numbers (ratios 1:2 / 2:4 / 3:3 / 1:5) foraging from two novel food sources (black and white feeders). We find that demonstrator groups influenced observers' feeder choices (social learning), but that zebra finches did not copy the majority of individuals. Instead, observers were influenced by the pecks of their demonstrators, and in an anti-conformist fashion. These results indicate that zebra finches are not conformist, but are public information users.

Data from: A four-questions perspective on public information use in sticklebacks (Gasterosteidae)

Whether learning primarily reflects general processes or species-specific challenges is a longstanding matter of dispute. Here we present a comprehensive analysis of public information use (PI-use) in sticklebacks (Gasterosteidae). PI-use is a form of social learning by which animals are able to assess the relative quality of resources, here prey patches, by observing the behaviour of others. PI-use was highly species-specific with only two of the assayed species, Pungitius spp. and their closest relative Culaea inconstans showing evidence of PI-use. We saw no effects of ontogenetic experience upon PI-use in P. pungitius. Experiments with live demonstrators and animated fish revealed that heightened activity and feeding strikes by foraging conspecifics are important cues in the transmission of PI. Finally, PI-use was the only form of learning in which P. pungitius and another stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus differed. PI-use in sticklebacks is species-specific and may represent an 'ecological specialisation' for social foraging. Whether this reflects selection on perception, attentional or cognitive processes remains to be determined.
