The whole dataset folder is supporting data for thesis “Effects from Climate and Hydrology on Subtropical Mangroves”. This thesis aims to systematically evaluate the natural effects from climate and hydrology on subtropical mangrove ecosystems and to predict the potential changes of mangroves in the context of future climate change. The dataset includes macro- climatic and hydrological variables, groundwater piezometric head and salinity data, a 3D hydro-vegetation model and native mangrove growth data.

The data contains the thermal hydrolysis and other conventional pretreatment on the organics release from sludge. The treated sludge is in fact the biodegradable organics for multiple fermentation steps. So, the studied potential of lipids and SCFAs production after oleaginous yeast fermentation and acidogenic fermentation were evaluated. Also, the data records the performance of ammonia recovery via contactless membrane distillation.

Viral infection of a susceptible host is often accompanied by the induction a response in the host to attempt to restrict the harm caused by these invading pathogens. My project utilize a two-pronged approach combining meta-analysis and co-expression to identify how different hosts respond to viral infection. This dataset contains the processed data files for many stages of this analysis. Meta-analysis through recurrence identifies the number of times a gene is differentially expressed across a...

Webinar presented on 10 June 2021 in the International Society for Quantitative History's Webinar Series
From Forest to Farmland and Meadow to Metropolis: How did the environment shape human history, and how did humanity bring about the Anthropocene?
Did humans affect global climate before the Industrial Era? While this question is hotly debated, the co-evolution of humans and the natural environment since the last Ice Age had an undisputed role in influencing the development and present state...

Data used in the thesis titled "Integrated optical and mechanical phenotyping platform for high-throughput single-cell analysis", including red blood cell data and MDA-MB-231 data.

It is a collection of supporting data, consisting of fieldnotes, interview, and secondary resources. Fieldnotes keep track of what I observed and experienced in my fieldtrips. Interviews record people's responses to my questions. Secondary resources are relevant figures, including those found in the existing studies, spread on the mass media, and transmitted by target communities.

Diet is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for non-communicable diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer. In my thesis, I studied the association of sugar, in the form of SSB consumption and blood sucrose and fructose, and arachidonic acid, a major long-chain n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, with cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, and cancer.This dataset includes most of the data used in the analyses of the thesis. Table 1...

This dataset contains data determining the upregulation of VMP1 in glioblastoma compared to normal brain tissues using two publicly available microarray datasets CGGA and TCGA and the candidate’s cohort of clinical specimens. Moreover, Kaplan Meier survival, Cox proportional hazard regression and receiver operating curve analyses revealed that VMP1 could serve as an independent diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for glioma patients. Functional characterization of VMP1 was then performed with loss- and gain-of-function studies and found that...

The whole dataset folder is supporting data for thesis “SYN-CONVERGENT EXTENSION IN THE EARLY PALEOZOIC OROGEN, SOUTH CHINA BLOCK: INSIGHTS FROM GRANITOIDS”. A new tectonic model “syn-convergent extension and asthenosphere upwelling during the intracontinental orogeny” is proposed. The syn-convergent extension zones, which including a series of NW-trending transverse faults and the NE-trending reactivated pre-existing suture and rift zone (i.e., Shaoxing-Jiangshan-Pingxiang- Chenzhou fault) within the WYO, are in favor of asthenosphere upwelling leading to intensive crust-mantle...

Regenerative therapies, which aim at regeneration and repair of ischemic tissue by administration of exogenous cells, have been investigated as a promising treatment to restore blood perfusion and improve physiological function in ischemic cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction (MI) and peripheral artery diseases (PADs). Unfortunately, clinical and preclinical studies that focus on transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or cardiomyocytes (CMs) for MI, have failed to conclude the benefits of cell-based therapies due to...

The data were collected to investigate the age and gender differences in computational thinking skills for primary school students. Using this dataset, the relationship between general cognitive abilities and computational thinking skills was examined as well. The data collection is approved by HREC.

Chondrosarcoma consisting of cartilage producing cells is a relatively rare cancer. Conventional chondrosarcoma (CCS) is the most common form of chondrosarcoma that can arise from benign tumour. Benign tumour is managed conservatively, while surgery is the main form of treatment for CCS. However, there is currently no clear diagnostic marker for malignant transformation and clinical decision making. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to characterize primary tumour tissues from seven patients with CCS, one patient...
