Dataset deposited here were collected during my PhD study at HKU and has been presented in thesis titled ‘AQUATIC FOOD WEBS IN ANTHROPOGENIC LANDSCAPES’. I curated food-web statistics and geogroaphical information on 27 published stream food webs, examined gut contents of five predators in four Hong Kong streams, and generated isotopic and fatty acid data for food web construction in three marshlands in Hong Kong and three shrimp ponds in Mai Po Nature Reserve.

The data mainly include attachment rates of trophoblastic spheroids derived from various stem cell lines onto receptive and non-recpetive endometrial epithelial cells, results obtained from bioinformatic analysis such as Z-scores and false discovery rate of GO analysis, gene expression levels in cells obtained by performing qPCR, protein expression levels in cells obtained through densitometry of western...

In this thesis, various qualitative research methods were employed to explore the involvement of ENGOs in China’s environmental regulatory governance. The data are gathered by (1) conducting interviews with lawyers, ENGO staff, and volunteers; (2) documenting archived materials; and (3) conducting direct observation as a participant-as-observer.
I conducted a total of 49 interviews from 2016 to 2020. I also conducted content analysis of 229 archived EPIL cases (with detailed information, including the parties, outcomes,...

There are 4 main datasets included 1. The NI titers measured for post-infection ferret anti-sera using Enzyme-Linked Lectin Assay (ELLA) to characterise the N1 NA antigenic drifts of A(H1N1) viruses between 1977-1991. 2. The HI and NI titers measured in individuals aged 5-70 years using HI assay and ELLA, respectively, to observe the immune imprinting patterns across a panel of antigenically distinct HA and NA proteins of A(H1N1) and A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses from 1977-2015. 3. The...

Raw data for the research projects regarding the thesis “IN-DEPTH STUDY OF ABERRANT CHROMATIN REGULATORS IN HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA DEVELOPMENT” for Ph.D. degree examination.
Three projects are included:
The first project investigated the oncogenic role of VPS72 in HCC which we previously reported it genetic amplification in liver cancer patients. In this thesis, we revealed an important master regulatory gene whos expression is repressed by excessive VPS72 and subsequently failed to maintain the metabolic...

These are supporting data for "TIME -RESOLVED SPECTROSCOPIC AND DENSITY FUNCTIONAL INVESTIGATION OF SELECTED QUINONE METHIDE AND CARBENE INTERMEDIATE" Spectroscopic analytical techniques and computational methods were employed to provide an adequate characterization of electronically excited states and transient intermediates. Specifically, the Jablonski diagram is sketched to understand the absorption and emission processes in the molecule system. The theoretical study includes geometry optimization and transition state energy employed to assist the interpretation of experimental results. The...

I study GATA2 and GATA3 role in trophoblast development and hematopoiesis development. I combine Crispr Cas9 for double knockout both GATA2 and GATA3. GATA2&3 DKO cell was characterized with IF stianing, WB. Then human TSC differentiation was performed. For hematopoiesis development, i conducte HEMO to test hematopoiesis differentiation efficiency of GATA2&3 DKO cells.

The thesis "Antifungal susceptibilities of emerging and novel filamentous fungal pathogens" focused on two things: (1) the molecular identification of fungal isolates to species level, and (2) antifungal susceptibility profiles of these isolates.
This dataset contains the raw sequencing data in fasta format and the processed sequencing results (displayed as phylogenetic trees in nwk format), as well as the antifungal susceptibility testing results of each fungal isolates in an excel.

My research project is to establish a integrated optimization design framework for metallic orthopedic devices with graded-density lattice microstructures. The framework can adjust the material density distribution in side common orthopedic devices such as femoral implant and spinal cage, so as to redistribute the stress distribution in bone tissue anc moderation bone degeneration problem. The frameworks consists of 3 parts: Firstly, a data-driven mechanical property homogenization system is established for anisotropic lattice microstructures. secondly, multi-scale...

The current data is originally collected from the naturalistic study of the LevelMind@JC project. The LevelMind@JC is a four-year youth mental wellness hub project funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. The primary purpose of the naturalistic study is to monitor the different aspects of youths' mental health, including psychological distress, functioning, and quality of life. All hub users are expected to complete a brief assessment every time they visit a mental wellness...
