title: Remotely sensed GlobColour Chlorophyll-a in Greenlandic waters (2000-2022)

description: This dataset consists chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a) obtained from daily products (OCEANCOLOUR_GLO_BGC_L3_MY_009_103) distributed by the GlobColour project through the Copernicus Marine Service. Here we present computed weekly averages for two products: multi-sensor merged 4-km Chl-a (2000-2022, hereafter merged); and Sentinel-3 300-m Chl-a (2016-2022, hereafter S3). Time series of weekly merged Chl-a (mg/m<sup>3</sup>) from Greenlandic shelf seas were calculated based on the geographic zones defined in Vernet et al. (2021): North (N), Northeast (NE), Central East (CE), Southeast (SE), Southwest (SW), Central West (CW), and Northwest (NW). A map showing the coverage of those boxes is given in the figure "Vernet_zones.png" and the time series for each box is given in the figure "Timeseries_Vernet_Boxes.png". Time series of weekly S3 Chl-a (mg/m^3) were obtained for two areas of interest: the Nuup Kangerlua fjord and Disko Bay. Maps showing the coverage of each box and the respective time series are given in the figures "Timeseries_NuupKangerlua.png" and "Timeseries_Disko.png". Finally, a pixel-wise linear regression was performed for the weekly merged Chl-a (2000-2022) and the pixels with significant trend (p&lt;0.05) are displayed in the figure "Chla_significant_trends.png".

title: Nanocrystalline and Amorphous Strips Data

description: The precise prediction of hysteresis characteristics in nanocrystalline and amorphous strips is crucial for analyzing the electromagnetic properties of high-frequency transformers. However, existing hysteresis prediction methods suffer from high cost, time consumption, and inaccuracy, especially for those under high frequency and non-sinusoidal excitation. For that, an analytical method with enhanced practicality and effectiveness is proposed for predicting hysteresis characteristics. Firstly, this paper uses Maxwell's equation to derive an analytical method of eddy current magnetic field strength. This method sheds light on the underlying mechanism through which the skin effect impacts the eddy current magnetic field strength. Subsequently, the influence mechanism of the strip’s non-uniform magnetic flux density distribution caused by skin effect on the static hysteresis characteristics and excess effects is analyzed. In light of this, a comprehensive approach is proposed utilizing the Riemann Liouville (R-L) fractional derivative. Finally, according to the field separation approach, this paper establishes a hysteresis prediction method that comprehensively accounts for the impact of skin effect on hysteresis characteristics, particularly under high-frequency and non-sinusoidal excitation. When operating at frequencies exceeding 5 kHz, the utilization of this method in nanocrystalline and amorphous strips yields a notable improvement in prediction accuracy, surpassing the dynamic Jiles-Atherton model.

title: RNAseq data from Arabidopsis and BC204 treatment

description: BC204 is a citrus-based plant extract applied as a plant biostimulant on a variety of plant species in South Africa, China and Australia. Although there are reports that it elicits physiological responses such as an increase in crop yield and fruit quality, no molecular data is available to explain the specific mechanisms associated with these effects. In this study, an RNA-seq approach was adopted to elucidate the effects of BC204 at the molecular level in <em>Arabidopsis thaliana</em>. BC204, applied via a soil drench at low concentrations of 0.01% (v/v), stimulated above-ground biomass production whilst eliciting a large change in gene expression levels across several biochemical pathways. Of the entire transcriptomic profile examined, 8.212% of genes were significantly differentially expressed between the treated and control groups, of which 5.136% were upregulated and 3.076% downregulated. Most notably, genes involved in photosynthesis, several aspects of cell wall biogenesis, remodelling and restructuring, carbohydrate metabolism, signalling, stress and secondary metabolism were upregulated, which could explain the observed increase in plant growth. Genes related to transcription and RNA regulation were both strongly up- and downregulated, which suggests that BC204 plays a role in inducing and suppressing several pathways. This novel study provides valuable information to be used as starting point for targeted future research.

title: Solanum lycopersicum and BC204 RNAseq data

description: Plant biostimulants have been earmarked as one of the major groups of new plant growth promoting substances to drive a much-needed revolution in agriculture. One such PB, BC204, has been used to great success, but there is no peer-reviewed data to explain the possible mechanisms by which it exerts its effects. In this study, an RNA-seq approach was adopted to elucidate the effects of BC204 on shoot tissues of hydroponically grown <i>Solanum lycopersicum </i>seedlings at the molecular level. BC204, applied via foliar spray at a concentration of 0.05% (v/v), stimulated root and shoot biomass production, root and shoot length, and stem width compared to the untreated control plants. Out of the 33308 transcripts analysed, 18.059% of all genes were significantly differentially expressed between the control and treated groups, of which 8.776% were upregulated and 9.283% downregulated. Most notably, genes involved in signalling, stress and protein metabolism were upregulated, which could explain the observed increases in growth. Additionally, hormone metabolism and genes involved in transcription and other regulation processes were also upregulated. Genes involved in protein metabolism were mostly downregulated.

title: Farmers’ knowledge, experience and management of fall armyworm in a major maize producing municipality in Ghana

description: Since its discovery in Ghana, the fall armyworm (FAW) has damaged maize farms resulting in yield losses. This study investigated farmers’ knowledge, practices and impact of the pest in a major maize growing municipality in Ghana. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain information from 200 randomly sampled farmers on their knowledge, practices, perceived effect and management of the FAW. FAW susceptibility to insecticides was also assessed. Although insecticide application was dominant (98%) and farmers experienced adverse health effects, application frequency and the resulting effects were not significantly related (p &gt; 0.05). Usage of personal protective equipment (PPE) was low (45.7%) and only 2% of the farmers used complete PPE. Gender correlated positively with PPE usage with more females wearing PPE compared to males. Age, farming experience, education and farm size did not significantly impact on PPE usage. The FAW outbreak negatively affected farmers’ relationships (36.5%) and caused economic loss to many farmers (80%). FAW was susceptible to emamectin benzoate (1.9% w/v) and emamectin benzoate (48 g/L) + acetamiprid (64 g/L) but not <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> (55%) + monosultap (45%) under laboratory conditions. The findings and implications of the study on farmer safety and sustainable pest management are discussed.

title: Antiviral activities of olive oil apigenin and taxifolin against SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP): <i>In silico</i>, pharmacokinetic, ADMET, and <i>in-vitro</i> approaches

description: A novel coronavirus strain called SARS-CoV-2 first appeared in China in December 2019. Natural products are significant sources of prospective and new antiviral medications, and new antiviral drug research has advanced significantly in recent years. The current study allows us to select specific components of olive oil that are thought to be anti-SARS-CoV-2 and assess their impact on SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. The 26 compounds of olive oil were obtained from the PubChem database and docked against the RdRP of SARS-CoV-2 (pdb id: 6XQB) by autodock vina 1 1 2 linux x86 software. Cytotoxicity and antiviral activity were measured by the MTT assay protocol (the crystal violet method). The findings revealed that the range of the olive oil compound’s molecular docking binding affinity score against the RdRP SARS-CoV-2 target was 5.9–18.2 kcal/mol. The best compound is apigenin since it has a low energy value of −18.2 kcal/mol, followed by taxifolin, which has an energy value of −14.2 kcal/mol. On the other hand, the molecule with the lowest energy is believed to be the good one. Additionally, Lipinski’s criteria and AD-MET analysis supported the created apigenin and taxifolin’s status as a secure pharmaceutical substance. Also, apigenin and taxifolin showed moderate antiviral effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro, with SI values of 9.7 and 8.79, respectively, compared with olive oil’s crude SI value of 9.57. According to our results, we think that olive oil is an essential source of cutting-edge SARS-CoV-2 antiviral drugs, especially apigenin and taxifolin compounds.
