title: Cyclic Tests of Steel Reinforced Concrete (SRC) Walls

description: &lt;p&gt;This dataset contains tests conducted at Tsinghua University on thirteen steel reinforced concrete shear walls. The shear walls had aspect ratios ranging from 2 to 2.3. All but two contained embedded structural steel sections in the boundary elements. Different shapes were examined, including: I-shaped, channel, hollow square, hollow circular, and dual hollow circular. &lt;span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal"&gt;The parameter set used to describe these tests was modeled after the parameter set&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal"&gt; used in the ACI 445B shear wall database. More parameters were added to capture properties of the structural steel shapes in the boundary elements. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal"&gt;Hysteresis curves for each specimen are provided in the data column. &lt;/span&gt;Detailed discussion of the findings can be found in the following publications, which are also attached as reports (non-copy-edited):&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt;Ji, X., Sun, Y., Qian, J., Lu, X., &quot;Seismic behavior and modeling of steel reinforced concrete (SRC) walls,&quot; Earthquake Engineering &amp; Structural Dynamics, 2015, Vol. 44, pp. 955-972.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Qian, J., Jiang, Z., Ji, X., &quot;Behavior of steel tube-reinforced concrete composite walls subjected to high axial force and cyclic loading,&quot; Engineering Structures, 2012, Vol. 36, pp.173-184.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Note 1&lt;/u&gt;: The ultimate drifts reported here use a different definition than that used in the ACI 445B database. ACI 445B defines ultimate drift as the drift at which the shear strength has degraded to 80% Vmax. The authors reported that there was no obvious degradation in shear strength until the failure cycle, and so reported ultimate drift as the peak drift attained in the cycle preceding the failure cycle. This is the value reported in this dataset.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;Note 2&lt;/u&gt;: DWG files detailing the specimens and test setup are attached as SupportingDocs. The specimens sometimes are labeled using different names in the DWG files than in the reports. The following may be used as a key to relate the specimen name in the DWG file to the name used in the report.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;DWG Name &rarr; Report Name&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt; RIW-H1 &rarr; RCW1&lt;br /&gt; SIW-H1 &rarr; SRCW1&lt;br /&gt; SIW-H2 &rarr; SRCW2&lt;br /&gt; SIW-H3 &rarr; SRCW3&lt;br /&gt; CIW-H1 &rarr; SRCW4&lt;br /&gt; CIW-H2 &rarr; SRCW5&lt;br /&gt; SW1&hellip;6 &rarr; SW1&hellip;6&lt;br /&gt; SW7 &rarr; SW8&lt;/p&gt; &lt;nb:citations&gt;&lt;/nb:citations&gt;

title: Dataset related to article: " Sarcopenia as a predictor of survival in patients undergoing bland transarterial embolization for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma"

description: This record contains data related to article " Sarcopenia as a predictor of survival in patients undergoing bland transarterial embolization for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma" Sarcopenia has been associated with lower overall survival in patients wth cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing surgical resection, TACE, TARE, or transplantation. This monocentric study evaluated the prognostic significance of sarcopenia in patients affected by HCC who received bland transarterial embolization (TAE) therapy, by analyzing its impact on survival and treatment-related complications. All consecutive patients who underwent the 1st TAE between March 1st 2011 and July 1st 2019 in our Institution were retrospectively studied. To evaluate sarcopenia, the skeletal muscle index (SMI) was calculated by normalizing the cross-sectional muscle area at the level of L3 on an abdominal CT scan prior to embolization (cm2) by patient height (m2). SMI cut-off values for sarcopenia were considered ≤ 39 cm2/m2 for women and ≤55 cm2/m2 for men. Data about age, gender, body mass index (BMI), underlying liver disease, liver function, MELD score, Child-Pugh score, multifocal disease, performance status, previous interventions, length of stay (LOS), complications after the procedure, readmission rate within 30 days, survival time from TAE and total number and type of TAE received following the first procedure were collected. From 2011 to 2019, 142 consecutive patients underwent 305 TAEs. Observation time ranged from 1.4 to 100.5 months (median 20.1 SD = 22). Sarcopenia at baseline was present in 121 (85%) patients. Overall 87 (61.2%) patients died during follow-up with survival rates at 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year of 71%, 41%, 22%, 16% and 11% respectively. After multivariate analysis sarcopenia (HR = 2.22, p = 0.046), previous ablation/resection (HR = 0.51, p = 0.005) and multifocal disease (HR = 1.84, p = 0.02) were associated with reduced survival. Sarcopenia did not influence the safety of TAE in terms of LOS (2 days vs 1.5 days, p = 0.2), early complications rate (8% vs 5%, p = 0.5) and readmission rate within 30 days (7% vs 5%, p = 0.74). Sarcopenia, estimated by the L3SMI method, is an emerging prognostic factor in patients with HCC undergoing bland TAE therapy as it is associated with increased mortality, without impairing the safety of the locoregional treatment. Measures to ameliorate the SMI, such as nutritional support and physical exercise, should be evaluated in clinical trials for HCC patients receiving liver embolization to determine their impact on overall survival.

title: Data for: "Statistical upscaling of ecosystem CO2 fluxes across the terrestrial tundra and boreal domain: regional patterns and uncertainties"

description: <strong>Description of the data</strong> This dataset is a compilation of eddy covariance and chamber measurements of annual and growing season carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>)<sub> </sub>fluxes of gross primary productivity (GPP), ecosystem respiration (ER), and net ecosystem exchange (NEE). The dataset includes flux measurements conducted during 1990–2015 from 148 terrestrial high-latitude tundra and boreal sites. The fluxes and supporting metadata were synthesized by conducting a literature survey, organizing a community call to retrieve unpublished data, and leveraging the available data in FLUXNET2015. Further, we used geospatial products to derive environmental data to these sites. More details can be found in Virkkala et al. "Statistical upscaling of ecosystem CO<sub>2</sub> fluxes across the terrestrial tundra and boreal domain: regional patterns and uncertainties" (in review). <strong>Files in this repository</strong> This repository consists of two datasets: annual_growingseason_CO2flux.csv includes the data and annual_growingseason_CO2flux_metadata.csv provides a description of the columns. <strong>Article citation</strong> Virkkala, A.-M., Aalto, J., Rogers, B.

title: Dataset related to article "Isolation of Proximal Fluids to Investigate the Tumor Microenvironment of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma"

description: This record contains data related to the article "Isolation of Proximal Fluids to Investigate the Tumor Microenvironment of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma". Abstract: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death, and soon to become the second. There is an urgent need of variables associated to specific pancreatic pathologies to help preoperative differential diagnosis and patient profiling. Pancreatic juice is a relatively unexplored body fluid, which, due to its close proximity to the tumor site, reflects changes in the surrounding tissue. Here we describe in detail the intraoperative collection procedure. Unfortunately, translating pancreatic juice collection to murine models of PDAC, to perform mechanistic studies, is technically very challenging. Tumor interstitial fluid (TIF) is the extracellular fluid, outside blood and plasma, which bathes tumor and stromal cells. Similarly to pancreatic juice, for its property to collect and concentrate molecules that are found diluted in plasma, TIF can be exploited as an indicator of microenvironmental alterations and as a valuable source of disease-associated biomarkers. Since TIF is not readily accessible, various techniques have been proposed for its isolation. We describe here two simple and technically undemanding methods for its isolation: tissue centrifugation and tissue elution.
