Dataset Search

This dataset includes image stacks, annotated counts, and ground-truth masks from two high-resolution sediment cores extracted from Laguna Pallcacocha, in El Cajas National Park, Ecuadorian Andes by Moy et al. (2002) and Hagemans et al. (2021). The first core (PAL 1999, from Moy et al. (2002)) extends through the Holocene (11,600 cal. yr. BP - present). There are a total of 900 annotated image stacks and masks in the PAL 1999 domain. The second core (PAL IV, from Hagemans et al. (2021)) captures the 20th century. There are 2986 annotated image stacks and masks in the PAL IV domain. Different microscopes and annotations tools were used to image and annotate each core and there are corresponding differences in naming conventions and file formats. Thus, we organized our data separately for the PAL 1999 and the PAL IV domains. The three letter codes used to label our pollen annotations are in the file: “Pollen_Identification_Codes.xlsx”. Both domain directories contain: • Image stacks organized by subdirectory • Annotations within each image stack directory, containing specimen identifications using a three letter code and coordinates defining bounding boxes or circles • Ground-truth distance-transform masks for each image stack The zip file "bestValModel_encoder.paramOnly.zip" is the trained pollen detection model produced from the images and annotations in this dataset.

Objectives: This study follows-up on previous work that began examining data deposited in an institutional repository. The work here extends the earlier study by answering the following lines of research questions: (1) what is the file composition of datasets ingested into the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus repository? Are datasets more likely to be single file or multiple file items? (2) what is the usage data associated with these datasets? Which items are most popular? Methods: The dataset records collected in this study were identified by filtering item types categorized as "data" or "dataset" using the advanced search function in IDEALS. Returned search results were collected in an Excel spreadsheet to include data such as the Handle identifier, date ingested, file formats, composition code, and the download count from the item's statistics report. The Handle identifier represents the dataset record's persistent identifier. Composition represents codes that categorize items as single or multiple file deposits. Date available represents the date the dataset record was published in the campus repository. Download statistics were collected via a website link for each dataset record and indicates the number of times the dataset record has been downloaded. Once the data was collected, it was used to evaluate datasets deposited into IDEALS. Results: A total of 522 datasets were identified for analysis covering the period between January 2007 and August 2016. This study revealed two influxes occurring during the period of 2008-2009 and in 2014. During the first time frame a large number of PDFs were deposited by the Illinois Department of Agriculture. Whereas, Microsoft Excel files were deposited in 2014 by the Rare Books and Manuscript Library. Single file datasets clearly dominate the deposits in the campus repository. The total download count for all datasets was 139,663 and the average downloads per month per file across all datasets averaged 3.2. Conclusion: Academic librarians, repository managers, and research data services staff can use the results presented here to anticipate the nature of research data that may be deposited within institutional repositories. With increased awareness, content recruitment, and improvements, IRs can provide a viable cyberinfrastructure for researchers to deposit data, but much can be learned from the data already deposited. Awareness of trends can help librarians facilitate discussions with researchers about research data deposits as well as better tailor their services to address short-term and long-term research needs.

Mitochondria play a key role in energy production and metabolism, making them a promising target for metabolic engineering and disease treatment. However, despite the known influence of passenger proteins on localization efficiency, only a few protein-localization tags have been characterized for mitochondrial targeting. To address this limitation, we leverage a Variational Autoencoder to design novel mitochondrial targeting sequences. In silico analysis reveals that a high fraction of the generated peptides (90.14%) are functional and possess features important for mitochondrial targeting. We characterize artificial peptides in four eukaryotic organisms and, as a proof-of-concept, demonstrate their utility in increasing 3-hydroxypropionic acid titers through pathway compartmentalization and improving 5-aminolevulinate synthase delivery by 1.62-fold and 4.76-fold, respectively. Moreover, we employ latent space interpolation to shed light on the evolutionary origins of dual-targeting sequences. Overall, our work demonstrates the potential of generative artificial intelligence for both fundamental research and practical applications in mitochondrial biology.

Sugarcane, a tropical C4 grass in the genus Saccharum (Poaceae), accounts for nearly 80% of sugar produced worldwide and is also an important feedstock for biofuel production. Generating transgenic sugarcane with predictable and stable transgene expression is critical for crop improvement. In this study, we generated a highly expressed single copy locus as landing pad for transgene stacking. Transgenic sugarcane lines with stable integration of a single copy nptII expression cassette flanked by insulators supported higher transgene expression along with reduced line to line variation when compared to single copy events without insulators by NPTII ELISA analysis. Subsequently, the nptII selectable marker gene was efficiently excised from the sugarcane genome by the FLPe/FRT site-specific recombination system to create selectable marker free plants. This study provides valuable resources for future gene stacking using site-specific recombination or genome editing tools.

Associated Manuscript, Working title: Machine classification of inclusion criteria from Cochrane systematic reviews. Description: the file contains a list of 1655 informative words selected by applying information gain feature selection strategy. Information gain is one of the methods commonly used for feature selection, which tells us how many bits of information the presence of the word are helpful for us to predict the classes, and can be computed in a specific formula [Jurafsky D, Martin JH. Speech and language processing. London: Pearson; 2014 Dec 30].We ran Information Gain feature selection on Weka -- a machine learning tool.

All layer files included are relevant to the State of Illinois. Sources for this geodatabase include the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Geological Survey, City of Chicago, Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Transit Authority, Regional Transportation Authority, and Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

One of the newest types of multimedia involves body-connected interfaces, usually termed haptics. Haptics may use stylus-based tactile interfaces, glove-based systems, handheld controllers, balance boards, or other custom-designed body-computer interfaces. How well do these interfaces help students learn Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)? We conducted an updated review of learning STEM with haptics, applying meta-analytic techniques to 21 published articles reporting on 53 effects for factual, inferential, procedural, and transfer STEM learning. This deposit includes the data extracted from those articles and comprises the raw data used in the meta-analytic analyses.

This dataset includes two data files that provide the time series (Jul. - Sep. 2017) data of sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF_760) collected under sunny conditions at two maize sites (one rainfed and the other irrigated) in Nebraska in 2017. Data contain 392 SIF_760 records at the rainfed site and 707 records at the irrigated site. The timestamp uses local standard time. Data are available for the sunny conditions from 8 am to 5 pm (corresponding to 9 am to 6 pm local time) throughout the study period.

Per the authors' request, the data files for this dataset are now suppressed.

It is divided into four subfolders (B parallel/perpendicular to the tellurium c axis and field/ temperature dependence), each containing the raw data (saved in .mat format), the oscillator parameters obtained through linear prediction (saved in .mat format), and the plot-generating code (.m files). The code was written using MATLAB R2024a. To run the code, go to each folder, and run the .m file in that folder, which generates two plots.
