title: Cilia dynamics creates a dynamic barrier to penetration of the periciliary layer in human airway epithelia

description: This dataset supports the analysis of fluid flow within the pericilary layer (PCL) of differentiated human bronchial epithelial cells (MucilAir™, Epithelix) by tracking the displacement of a caged fluorescent dye activated within the ciliary layer. The experiments were carried out at physiological temperature (37 °C) using a 60x water immersion objective.  The repository includes 14 out of the 15 total experiments used for the paper dataset; one experiment could not be uploaded due to storage limitations.

Each .zip folder contains the set of raw videos recorded on a specific area (cilia patch) on the epithelium. The experiments are from 3 distinct inserts from the same donors. For each position, labeled with coordinates indicating the displacement vector along the axis perpendicular to the epithelium, a bright field 'bf' and epifluorescent videos 'fluo' are recorder. The first one serves to identify the position and shape of the epithelium and measure the ciliary beating frequency (CBF), the second records dye displacement after activation, enabling analysis of fluid flow. The experimental configuration ensures that the dye is activated at consistent, spatially defined locations progressing from the cilia base toward the tips.

Videos are provided in .movie format, which can be read using the script moviereader.m found in the associated GitHub repository.

The full analysis pipeline is provided at https://github.com/erikacausa/PCL_caged_dye. The repository includes all necessary scripts to extract fluid flow and diffusion parameters, as well as CBF from the video data.

The main script, Caged_dye_manual_line.m, begins by loading the brightfield video for a specific position and allowing the user to manually trace the epithelial contour. This contour is then  translated to define a measuring line that intersects the dye activation point, which remains fixed in the field of view due to the stationary laser configuration. The fluorescence video is subsequently loaded, and the activation frame is detected automatically. A Gaussian fit is applied to the intensity profile along the measurement line in each frame, extracting the center of mass (mean) and spread (standard deviation) of the dye cloud over time. These values are saved in the file CagedResults.mat.

A second script, Caged_dye_fit_speed.m, analyzes the temporal evolution of the dye cloud. The displacement of the mean is used to estimate flow velocity, while the change in standard deviation over time is used to get information about diffusion properties.

In parallel, the CBF is measured using the script CBF_profile_autopoints.m. This algorithm identifies three regions within the PCL and applies a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-based approach to estimate the local beating frequency from the brightfield video signal.

This dataset is intended for use with the provided analysis scripts and may be adapted for extended studies or new formats.

کتاب المغیث من مختلف الحدیث

A treatise on Discrepancies in Traditions, by MAḤMÛD B. ṬÂHIR B. AL-MUẒAFFAR SANJARÎ.

This MS. is imperfect at the beginning and end; it commences now with the following verses, which belong to the preface:

حسنُ الخَلْقِ جمیلٌ خَلْقُهُ (sic) جودُه یسبق جودَ المَطَرِ

عالِمٌ بل عالَمُ فی جسدٍ قُرِنت أَرْآؤُه بالظَفَرِ

لستُ ادری خُلْقُه احسنُ أمْ خَلْقُه ام لفظه کالدُّرَرِ

لیست الشمسُ تُضاهیه سَنًا وَجْهُه أخجلَ نور القَمَرِ

راحةُ الزُوّارِ فی راحته خُلِقتْ للنفع لا للضررِ

The author says subsequently that in the course of his studies he read the مختلف الحدیث of Ḳutabî (i.e. Ibn Ḳutaibah, d. A. H. 276).1 The present treatise is an abridgement of that work, with additions by the author. It tries to solve the discrepancies between single traditions, as well as between traditions and the Koran. The discrepant traditions are introduced, the one by حدیث آخر, the opposite by فان قیل, and the solution by الجواب. The author dedicated his work to المجلس العالی المؤیَّدی النظامی القوامی العضدی الجلالی, for whom he had already written a treatise on Koranic science, فی حقائق التنزیل و بدائع التاویل و مختلف القراءات.

Written in different hands, of about the tenth century. Much is wanting at the end. Single leaves are also missing after foll. 7, 10, and 11. Fol. 3 is much torn.

Wrongly inscribed کتاب عقاید تنزیل. Cf. Cat. 226, xxxiii.

title: How Users Perceive and React to Labeled AI-Generated Content on Social Media: A Longitudinal Study of Cognitive and Emotional Effects

description: As AI-generated content (AIGC) becomes commonplace on social platforms, “AI-generated” labels are increasingly used to calibrate trust and steer sharing. We tested the short-term persistence and emotional side-effects of labeling in a two-wave online experiment (Wave 1 <i>N</i> = 400; Wave 2 <i>N</i> = 256; 18-day interval). Participants viewed health posts varying in veracity (true vs. false) and content type (nonprofit news vs. profit advertising), each carrying the same label. Across waves, perceived accuracy, information credibility, and sharing intention showed no mean change, suggesting attenuated or stable effects within this window. Cross-wave models indicated modest temporal continuity, strongest for sharing intention. Notably, labeling induced a small negative shift in affect after exposure to true content relative to baseline, consistent with an “emotional tax.” Trait self-control buffered this affective cost and showed limited moderation of cognitive outcomes. Findings delineate the near-term bounds of labeling and motivate complementary design strategies.

title: Mid-winter count of water birds and other bird species in Bulgaria

description: This dataset contains data on water birds and other wintering bird species, collected in the framework of the Mid-Winter Count of Waterfowl monitoring scheme, since 1997. The Mid-Winter Waterfowl Count in Bulgaria is part of the annual international simultaneous counts in the Western Palearctic, carried out in mid January, coordinated by Wetlands International (formerly IWRB) as well as an integral part of the National system for monitoring of Biodiversity. The goals of the count include: - to monitor the trends in the numbers and distribution of wintering waterfowl in Bulgaria; - to monitor the condition of the wetlands that hold water birds; - to determine the threatening factors for birds and wintering sites as well as trends throughout the years; - to analyse the collected data in order to define the priority measures for conservation of the species and the wintering sites, and establish levels for the sustainable harvest of resource species. The counts provide scientifically sound data for decision-making, enable the MoEW to meet its needs for biodiversity monitoring and, via Wetlands International, meet the requirements of the Ramsar Convention.
