title: Effects of heat stress and green cover on urban birds in the megacity of Bengaluru

description: Abstract

Cities, despite being responsible for the loss of habitat as they grow, are also an important refugia for biodiversity. The Global tropical South is undergoing rapid urbanisation, even as they are exposed to heat island and climate warming effects that impact both humans and biodiversity. Eliciting support from policy and decision makers for sustaining habitat for birds in cities may depend on how conservation or restoration of bird habitats is linked to the new emphasis on ecosystem services, including heat stress mitigation. We apriori predicted based on available literature and information that parts of the city with higher levels of heat will have lower bird presences and parts that have higher green cover are likely to support higher presences of birds, but allowing for preference of some birds for open habitats with less greenness. Also, different species and guilds of birds will show diversity in preference for sites in response to heat stress and green cover. We tested hypotheses on the role of green cover and heat stress on bird occurrence using a Bayesian regression approach. We first summarized the information and uncertainty on the direction of the slope of the two covariates as hyper-priors. We used satellite data on heat stress as proxy for urban heat islands and climate warming effects, and green cover (NDVI), to test their effects on habitat quality and spatially explicit occurrence of urban birds. We found that all birds responded negatively to the hotter parts of the city, but the effects of green cover varied with species identity (Pseudo-R2 0.13-0.36). The negative effect of green spaces on some birds could partially be due to the preference of open spaces by species or dependence on anthropogenic food sources for foraging by these species. We mapped heat islands, cooling potential and the bird diversity of green spaces in Bengaluru to identify areas of conservation value that also help mitigate heat stress for citizens. Going forward these results will help us in answering nuanced species level responses and species vulnerability to the impacts of climate change and foster support for conservation of bird habitats in Bengaluru.Dataset descriptionThe dataset is eBird data for the mega city of Bengaluru. We have used heat stress (thermal bands) and green cover to assess the effect of these variables on bird occurrences in the city.

title: VWBT_9000: A Video Imagery Dataset for Nearshore Wave Breaking Type Classification

description: Wave breaking type is a fundamental indicator of nearshore hydrodynamic processes, directly reflecting wave energy dissipation mechanisms. With the advancement of shore-based video monitoring, remote sensing has emerged as an efficient tool for identifying wave breaking types. However, existing studies predominantly rely on static single-frame imagery, limiting the ability to capture the dynamic evolution of breaking events. In this study, we present the first publicly available video imagery dataset dedicated to wave breaking type classification. The dataset comprises 9,000 labeled wave breaking clips collected from 15 cameras across six morphologically diverse coastal sites, encompassing three primary breaking types: Spilling, Plunging, and Surging. A rigorous data curation workflow is implemented to ensure quality and consistency. This dataset offers a valuable resource for video-based wave breaking monitoring and provides technical support for advancing the understanding of nearshore wave dynamics.

title: Geometric Multiverse in Twistor-EBIKK-β Gravity: A Topological Alternative to Everett's Many-Worlds

description: We present a geometric realization of multiverse physics within TwistorEntropic-Born-Infeld-Kaluza-Klein β-gravity. The model predicts:

(1) superposition of spacetime geometries emerging from CP1 network topology,

(2) entropically-driven phase transitions between geometric sectors, and

(3) observable signatures in black hole area spectra and CMB correlations.

This provides a testable alternative to traditional many-worlds interpretation while maintaining unitarity.

title: Water Surface Elevations and Near-bed Velocity Measurements over Surrogates of Mussel Bed and Oyster Reef Surfaces Subjected to Regular Waves
title: Messungen der Wasseroberflächenauslenkungen und der bodennahen Geschwindigkeit über Muschelbank- und Austernriffsurrogaten, die regelmäßigen Wellen ausgesetzt sind

description: The bioinvasion of the Pacific oyster (Magallana gigas) in the Wadden Sea has led to a system shift of the biogenic structures. Formerly predominant native blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) beds have almost entirely transformed into oyster reefs formed by the Pacific oyster. This ecological shift has substantial implications for topographic roughness and wave-biogenic structure interactions. This dataset provides experimental data on the interactions of surrogate models of mussel beds and oyster reefs with waves, offering critical insights into the mechanisms of wave attenuation induced by these biogenic structures. The data were collected from controlled laboratory experiments in a 2D wave flume, where surrogate models of both biogenic structures were subjected to regular, non-breaking waves. The surrogate models, fabricated using particle bed 3D printing with Selective Cement Activation, replicate natural roughness at a geometric scale of 1:3. The experimental program included varying water depths (d = 0.40; 0.50; 0.60; 0.70; 0.80 m), mean incoming wave heights (Hm,in = 0.05; 0.10; 0.15; 0.20 m), and mean wave periods (Tm = 1.5; 2.0; 2.5; 3.0 s), reflecting realistic conditions in the Wadden Sea considering Froude similitude with a length scaling of 1:3. The dataset comprises time-histories of the water surface elevations, η, and near-bed instantaneous velocity components, ui,, vi, and wi, in x, y, and z directions, respectively, measured along the surrogate models and simultaneously collected reference measurements over a flat surface. This dataset is intended to support further research into the hyrodynamic-biogenic structure interactions and to inform the design of nature-based solutions for coastal protection.

title: Rational Engineering of a Thermostable α-Oxoamine Synthase Biocatalyst Expands the Substrate Scope and Synthetic Applicability

description: The dataset contains all raw data from the tables used in the manuscript, titled "Rational Engineering of a Thermostable α-Oxoamine Synthase Biocatalyst Expands the Substrate Scope and Synthetic Applicability". Publication abstract: Carbon-carbon bond formation is one of the key pillars of organic synthesis. Green, selective and efficient biocatalytic methods for such are therefore highly desirable. The α-oxoamine synthases (AOSs) are a class of pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP)-dependent, irreversible, carbon-carbon bond-forming enzymes, which have been limited previously by their narrow substrate specificity and requirement of acyl-CoA thioester substrates. We recently characterized a thermophilic enzyme from Thermus thermophilus (ThAOS) with a much broader substrate scope and described its use in a chemo-biocatalytic cascade process to generate pyrroles in good yields and timescales. Herein, we report the structure-guided engineering of ThAOS to arrive at variants able to use a greatly expanded range of amino acid and simplified N-acetylcysteamine (SNAc) acyl-thioester substrates. The crystal structure of the improved ThAOS V79A mutant with a bound PLP:l-penicillamine external aldimine ligand, provides insight into the properties of the engineered biocatalyst.

title: Supplementary Material for the Paper "Stick to Three: Fostering Awareness, Intentions, and Reflections on the Top Daily Tasks"

description: Paper Abstract:

Knowledge workers face increasing challenges in managing numerous digital tasks, often leading to long task lists that distract from completing the most important ones. We present AIRbar, a task management tool designed to enhance Awareness, Intention, and Retrospection (AIR) in daily task management. AIRbar prompts workers to prioritize a maximum of three daily tasks, displays them in an always-on glanceable widget, and facilitates end-of-day reflection to improve task completion and self-awareness. In a 4-week field study with 35 participants, we found that AIRbar increased task completion rates, improved focus and motivation, and positively influenced perceptions of work processes. These findings suggest that limiting the number of tasks and ensuring continuous visibility of priorities can address key challenges in modern task management, providing actionable insights for designing future task management systems.
