AbstractAccurate identification of fishes is essential for understanding their biology and to ensure food safety for consumers. DNA barcoding is an important tool because it can verify identifications of both whole and processed fishes that have had key morphological characters removed (e.g., filets, fish meal); however, DNA reference libraries are incomplete, and public repositories for sequence data contain incorrectly identified sequences. During a nine-year sampling program in the Philippines, a global biodiversity hotspot for marine fishes, we developed a verified reference library of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences for 2,525 specimens representing 984 species. Specimens were primarily purchased from markets, with additional diversity collected using rotenone or fishing gear. Species identifications were verified based on taxonomic, phenotypic, and genotypic data, and sequences are associated with voucher specimens, live-color photographs, and genetic samples catalogued at Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History. The Biodiversity of Philippine Marine Fishes dataset is released herein to increase knowledge of species diversity and distributions and to facilitate accurate identification of market fishes.
Global climatological data of ocean thermohaline parameters derived from WOA18
Authors: Chu Peter C. , Fan Chenwu 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis is a global ocean climatological dataset of 17 thermohaline parameters such as isothermal layer (ITL) depth (hT), mixed layer (ML) depth (hD), thermocline gradient (GT), pycnocline gradient (GD) determined from temperature (T) and salinity (S) profiles of the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) world ocean atlas 2018 (WOA18) using the double gradient method along with the identity-index (i-index) showing the quality of the determination. With the identified (hT, hD) and (GT, GD), other parameters such as ITL heat content (HITL), mixed layer fresh-water content (FML), maximum thermocline gradient (GTmax), thermocline depth (hth), temperature at thermocline depth (Tth), maximum density gradient GDmax), pycnocline depth (hpyc), density at pycnocline depth (ρpyc), and (hT − hD) (barrier layer if positive or compensated layer if negative). The dataset is located at the NOAA/NCEI website (https://doi.org/10.25921/j3v2-jy50). It provides useful background information for ocean mixed layer dynamics, air-sea interaction, climatological studies. This paper is the only document for the dataset.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe ocean, as a vast interconnected body of water on Earth, plays an essential role in Earth’s planetary dynamics, climate change, and the evolution of human society and decision-making processes. An ocean-focused global map is necessary to visually capture numerous phenomena within the world’s ocean and seafloor. Here we present the power of the Spilhaus square projection with various geological and geophysical datasets, including bathymetry, teleseismicity, seafloor geography, and seafloor spreading parameters. The Spilhaus projection, compared to widely-used map projections (e.g., Mercator and Robinson), emphasizes the seamless connection of water masses surrounded by continents. This projection has recently garnered attention for presenting ocean-oriented data, although it is not extensively used and currently supported by the ArcGIS software. Maps presented here provide not only a novel geological perspective on the world ocean as a whole body, but also new insights/questions to be addressed regarding features and processes of the water body, the seafloor, and ocean-atmosphere dynamics, which can be used for research, education, media, and policy decisions, and promote similar approaches.
Simulated Inherent Optical Properties of Aquatic Particles using The Equivalent Algal Populations (EAP) model
Authors: Lain Lisl Robertson , Kravitz Jeremy , Matthews Mark , Bernard Stewart 
Published: June 2023

AbstractPaired measurements of phytoplankton absorption and backscatter, the inherent optical properties central to the interpretation of ocean colour remote sensing data, are notoriously rare. We present a dataset of Chlorophyll a (Chl a) -specific phytoplankton absorption, scatter and backscatter for 17 different phytoplankton groups, derived from first principles using measured in vivo pigment absorption and a well-validated semi-analytical coated sphere model which simulates the full suite of biophysically consistent phytoplankton optical properties. The optical properties of each simulated phytoplankton cell are integrated over an entire size distribution and are provided at high spectral resolution. The model code is additionally included to enable user access to the complete set of wavelength-dependent, angularly resolved volume scattering functions. This optically coherent dataset of hyperspectral optical properties for a set of globally significant phytoplankton groups has potential for use in algorithm development towards the optimal exploitation of the new age of hyperspectral satellite radiometry.

Published: June 2023

AbstractHANDdata is a dataset designed to provide hand kinematics and proximity vision data during reach to grasp actions of non-virtual objects, specifically tailored for autonomous grasping of a robotic hand, and with particular attention to the reaching phase. Thus, we sought to capture target object characteristics from radar and time-of-flight proximity sensors, as well as details of the reach-to-grasp action by looking at wrist and fingers kinematics, and at hand-object interaction main events. We structured the data collection as a sequence of static and grasping tasks, organized by increasing levels of complexity. HANDdata is a first-person, reach-to-grasp dataset that includes almost 6000 human-object interactions from 29 healthy adults, with 10 standardized objects of 5 different shapes and 2 kinds of materials. We believe that such data collection can be of value for researchers interested in autonomous grasping robots for healthcare and industrial applications, as well as for those interested in radar-based computer vision and in basic aspects of sensorimotor control and manipulation.

AbstractHyperspectral Imaging (HSI) is a relatively new medical imaging modality that exploits an area of diagnostic potential formerly untouched. Although exploratory translational and clinical studies exist, no surgical HSI datasets are openly accessible to the general scientific community. To address this bottleneck, this publication releases HeiPorSPECTRAL (https://www.heiporspectral.org; https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7737674), the first annotated high-quality standardized surgical HSI dataset. It comprises 5,758 spectral images acquired with the TIVITA® Tissue and annotated with 20 physiological porcine organs from 8 pigs per organ distributed over a total number of 11 pigs. Each HSI image features a resolution of 480 × 640 pixels acquired over the 500–1000 nm wavelength range. The acquisition protocol has been designed such that the variability of organ spectra as a function of several parameters including the camera angle and the individual can be assessed. A comprehensive technical validation confirmed both the quality of the raw data and the annotations. We envision potential reuse within this dataset, but also its reuse as baseline data for future research questions outside this dataset.

Comprehensive green growth indicators across countries and territories

Published: June 2023

AbstractA sustainable transition to green growth is crucial for climate change adaptation and mitigation. However, the lack of clear and consistent definitions and common measures for green growth implies a disagreement on its determinants which hampers the ability to proffer valuable guidance to policymakers. We contribute to the global debate on green economic development by constructing green growth measures from 1990 to 2021 across 203 countries. The pillars of green growth are anchored on five dimensions namely natural resource base, socio-economic outcomes, environmental productivity, environmental-related policy responses, and quality of life. Contrary to the aggregated methods used in constructing indices in the extant literature, we employ a novel summary index technique with generalized least squares attributed-standardized-weighted index that controls for highly correlated variables and missing values. The constructed indicators can be used for both country-specific and global data modeling on green economic development useful for policy formulation.

Published: June 2023

AbstractAlthough individuals of some species appear able to distinguish among individuals of a second species, an alternative explanation is that individuals of the first species may simply be distinguishing between familiar and unfamiliar individuals of the second species. In that case, they would not be learning unique characteristics of any given heterospecific, as commonly assumed. Here we show that female Northern Mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos) can quickly learn to distinguish among different familiar humans, flushing sooner from their nest when approached by people who pose increasingly greater threats. These results demonstrate that a common small songbird has surprising cognitive abilities, which likely facilitated its widespread success in human-dominated habitats. More generally, urban wildlife may be more perceptive of differences among humans than previously imagined.
Intraspecific competition and individual behaviour but not urbanization affect the dietary patterns of a generalist avian predator

Published: June 2023

AbstractUrbanization has reshaped ecosystems and changed natural processes, driving an intense transformation of biomes, biotic community composition and diversity. Despite the growing interest in studying urban ecology over the last decades, the consequences of these changes on species occupying these ecosystems are not yet fully understood. Trophic generalism and tolerance to human disturbance have been proposed as two key traits in the colonization of urban environments. However, most studies focused on species’ average traits, paying less attention to the potential role of inter-individual variability. Here, we examined diet specialization in urban and rural breeding pairs, as well as its relationship with individual behaviour and intraspecific competition, using the burrowing owl as a study model. Our results show that both urban and rural breeding pairs behaved as trophic specialists. The diet of burrowing owl breeding pairs followed a gradient from coleopteran- to micromammal-dominated, which is related to individual behaviour (bolder individuals consuming more coleopterans than shyer ones). Besides, pairs distant from others showed a more diverse diet than those experiencing higher levels of intraspecific competition. Models fitted separately for each habitat showed that the proportion of micromammals in the diet of urban breeding pairs was related to their behavior, while the diet of rural pairs was not affected by individual behavior but by intraspecific competition. However, despite the strong selection of tame and more explorative individuals in urban environments and the higher density they reach in this habitat type, they did not differ in their degree of diet specialization from rural conspecifics. Although it would be necessary to evaluate prey availability on a small scale, our results suggest that burrowing owl breeding pairs behave as specialists, despite the generalist character of the species, and that this specialization is not affected by the occupation of urban environments but to individual behaviour and intraspecific competition.

AbstractSmoking is recognised as a critical public health priority due to its enormous health and economic consequences. Constant monitoring of the effectiveness of tobacco control programs calls for timely population-based data. This study reports the national and sub-national patterns in tobacco consumption among Iranian adults based on the results from the STEPwise approach to chronic disease risk factor surveillance (STEPS) survey 2021. This study was performed through an analysis of the results of the STEPS survey 2021 which had been conducted as a nationally representative cross-sectional study. Participants included Iranian adults aged ≥ 18 years in all provinces of Iran, who were selected via multistage cluster sampling method. Data were analyzed via survey analysis while considering population weights. The total number of participants was 27,874, including 15,395 (55.23%) women and 12,479 (44.77%) men. The all-ages prevalence of current tobacco smoking was 14.01% overall, 4.44% among women, and 25.88% among men. The all-ages prevalence of current cigarette smoking was 9.33% overall, 0.77% among women, and 19.95% among men. The all-ages prevalence of current hookah smoking was 4.5% overall, 3.64% among women, and 5.56% among men. The mean (SD) number of cigarettes smoked per day was 12.41 (10.27) overall, 7.65 (8.09) among women, and 12.64 (10.31) among men. The mean (SD) monthly times of hookah use was 0.42 (7.87) overall, 2.86 (23.46) among women, and 0.3 (6.2) among men. The national all-ages prevalence of second-hand smoking at home was 24.64% overall, 27.38% among women, and 20.26% among men. The national all-ages prevalence of second-hand smoking at work was 19.49% overall, 17.33% among women, and 22.94% among men. The tobacco consumption in Iran remains alarmingly high, indicating the current tobacco control policy implementation level is ineffective and insufficient. This calls for adopting, implementing, and enforcing comprehensive packages of evidence-based tobacco control policies.
Whole mitochondrial genomes reveal the relatedness of the browsing ant incursions in Australia

Published: June 2023

AbstractGlobal trade and human movements outspread animal species, for example ants, from their native habitats to new areas. This causes biosecurity concerns because an exotic ant might have adverse impacts on agriculture, the environment, or health; thus, incurring economic losses. The browsing ant, Lepisiota frauenfeldi, was first detected in 2013 at the Perth Airport. Since then, more discrete browsing ant infestations have been found in Perth and at the Ports of Darwin and Brisbane. This exotic ant has been deemed a significant pest in Australia and eradication efforts are underway. However, tackling this invasion requires an understanding of how these infestations are related. Are they same or separate or a combination of both? Here, we carried out a phylogenetic analysis using high-throughput sequencing data to determine their relatedness. Our results showed that each interstate incursion was separate. Furthermore, the Western Australian incursions might have two introductions. These findings are critical in devising effective biosecurity measures. However, we discovered that this information could only be revealed by analysing the whole mitochondrial genome; not by a single mitochondrial gene as typically done for species identification. Here, we sequenced 51 whole mitogenomes including three of its congener L. incisa for the first time, for tracing future infestations.
High-efficiency upconversion process in cobalt and neodymium doped graphene QDs for biomedical applications

Published: June 2023

AbstractMultiphoton absorbing upconversion nanoparticles are emerging as bioimaging materials but are limited by the low quantum yield of their visible fluorescence. This article contains colloids of graphene quantum dots (GQDs), Neodymium, and Cobalt doped Graphene Quantum dots (Co-GQDs and Nd-GQDs) surrounded by carboxylic acids are synthesized which especially are suitable for bio applications; in this way, carboxylic acid groups exchanged by Amoxicillin as an antibiotic with bactericidal activity. The XRD diffraction method, TEM microscope, UV–Vis, and photoluminescence spectroscopies characterize the synthesized materials. The synthesized Quantum dots (QDs) exhibit upconversion properties and their emission is centered at 480 nm, but a red shift was observed with the increase of the excitation wavelength. In the emission spectra of synthesized QDs that can be related to the defect levels introduced by passivation of the QDs in the structure, the results show that with the interaction of the surface QDs with more carboxylic groups, the redshift is not observed. As the results indicate an increase in the intensity of upconversion emission is recorded for Co-GQDs and Nd-GQDs. The absolute quantum efficiency (QY) for Co-GQDs and Nd-GQDs were determined to be 41% and 100% more than GQDs respectively. DFT calculations indicate a strong bond between graphene and cobalt and Neodymium atoms. In doped materials, there are trap levels between the band gap of the GQDs which are responsible for increasing the intensity of the upconversion phenomenon.
Recyclable photocatalyst perovskite as a single-electron redox mediator for visible-light-driven photocatalysis gram-scale synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones/thiones in air atmosphere
Authors: Mohamadpour Farzaneh 
Published: June 2023

AbstractBased on the Biginelli reaction of β-ketoesters, arylaldehydes, and urea/thiourea, we created a green radical synthesis procedure for 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones/thiones. A single-electron redox mediator was applied to a solution of ethanol in an air environment, at room temperature, and with blue LEDs as a renewable energy source in order to create. The objective of this research is to create a halide perovskite that is widely available, affordable, recyclable, and economically feasible. A factor mentioned in the discussion is that the procedure tolerates a variety of donating and withdrawing functional groups while still offering a very fast rate and excellent yields. The range of yields is quite uniform (86–94%, average: 90.4%), and the range of reaction times is very quick (4–8 min, average: 5.8 min). Furthermore, gram-scale cyclization shows that it is applicable for use in industry. Additionally, CsPbBr3 is quite stable and can be used six times in a row without experiencing significant structural changes or activity loss, which has been extremely helpful in meeting industrial needs and environmental issues.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe problem of quantifying the effect of the alfalfa root morphology on the stability of the shallow surface layer of the slope of the Haizhou open-pit coal mine and the optimal slope degree in terms of the reinforcement of the shallow surface layer by the alfalfa root system was addressed. In this study, the mechanical parameters of plain soil and alfalfa root–soil composite samples were measured by indoor soil tests and triaxial compression tests, and a calculation model for the slope of the Haizhou open-pit coal mine was established in FLAC3D numerical simulation software to analyze the influence of the alfalfa root system on the maximum displacement of the shallow surface layer of the slope and the relationship with the fractal dimension of the alfalfa root system. The fractal dimension was applied to quantify the influence of the alfalfa root morphology to further investigate the relationship between the fractal dimension of the root system and the optimal slope of the shallow surface layer. The analysis showed that the fractal dimension of the alfalfa root system varied at different slope degrees, i.e., 40° > flat > 30° > 50°; the maximum soil displacement of the shallow surface layer of the slope increased with slope in nonlinear increments. Analysis of the fractal dimension of the alfalfa root system and the maximum displacement reduction rate at the different slope degrees revealed that the optimal slope degree of the shallow surface layer reinforced by alfalfa varied between 30° and 40°. The study results could provide a basis for further explaining the nature of the role of the alfalfa root morphology in reinforcing shallow surface soil and the optimal slope degree of the slope of the Haizhou open-pit coal mine reinforced by alfalfa roots.
