title: Insights on the response of microbial communities to vegetation and biogeochemical properties in amended and unamended acid-generating mine wastes

description: Understanding the structure of microbial communities in acidic, metal contaminated tailings and waste rock in cool, continental northern temperate climates is important for identifying their potential for use in phytostabilization and bioremediation programs. In this study, microbial community compositions across two large mine waste sites in the Sudbury basin were analyzed along gradients of barren-to-vegetated tailings and waste rock. Microbial communities were less diverse, more homogenous, and mainly chemolithoautotrophic in barren sites, transitioning to more diverse communities of organoheterotrophs, nitrogen-fixing/plant-growth promoting bacteria, and ectomycorrhizal fungi in the vegetated areas. Network interaction analyses of microbial communities demonstrated higher levels of interactions of microbial groups in the barren tailings, which were related to the extreme environmental and chemical conditions and restricted anabolic nutrient availability of the substrates. We also show that vegetation and plant-derived organic matter in the tailings are associated with the shifts observed in the structure of microbial communities towards more soil-like communities, which sequentially further aids in the establishment of vegetation. These findings have implications for the optimization of phytoestablishment and bioremediation in mine tailings and waste rock in the cool, continental northern temperate and boreal climates.

title: Northern elephant seal blubber proteome (repeated ACTH challenge)

description: Juvenile northern elephant seals received once-daily injections of synthetic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) for four consecutive days. Blubber samples were collected immediately prior to and four hours after the first and fourth ACTH administrations. Proteins were isolated from the inner, metabolically active half (closest to muscle) of each blubber sample from two study animals for which transcriptomes have been published. Blubber was homogenized in Qiazol and proteins were precipitated from the organic phase after phase extraction with chloroform. Denatured, trypsinized, and alkylated peptides were labeled with iTRAQ 8plex and fractionated off-line using a high pH reverse-phase peptide fractionation kit. Fractions were pooled in pairs and injected onto a C18 LC column. Mass spectrometry analysis was performed on a Thermo Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid mass spectrometer in DDA mode with HCD collision. MS/MS data analysis (SEQUEST search against SwissProt UniProt database) and iTRAQ-labeled peptide quantification at the MS2 level were conducted using Proteome Discoverer v2.2.

title: Young adult dual combusted cigarette and e-cigarette users’ anticipated responses to hypothetical e-cigarette market restrictions

description: <i>Introduction:</i> The aim of this exploratory study was to assess young adult dual e-cigarette (EC) and combusted cigarette (CC) users’ anticipated responses to hypothetical market restrictions regarding key EC characteristics. <i>Methods:</i> Data came from 240 young adult dual EC and CC users recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk in June 2017. Descriptive statistics were used to report sociodemographic, CC smoking, and EC use characteristics. McNemar’s chi-square tests and chi-square tests were used to assess differences between groups in terms of anticipated responses to hypothetical EC market restrictions. <i>Results:</i> Hypothetical regulations resulted in reported intentions to reduce EC use and increase CC use; the greatest impact was found for restrictions regarding e-liquid nicotine content, followed by flavor and ability to modify EC devices. Moreover, individuals reporting use of flavored e-liquid, high nicotine content e-liquid, and customizable EC were most likely to report intentions to reduce EC use and increase CC use. <i>Conclusions:</i> This work provides preliminary evidence that restrictive regulations regarding key EC characteristics may increase intentions to increase CC use among young adult dual EC and CC users.

title: New information on the braincase and endocranial morphology of the Late Triassic neotheropod <i>Zupaysaurus rougieri</i> using computed tomography data

description: <i>Zupaysaurus rougieri</i> is an early neotheropod from the middle Norian Los Colorados Formation of northwestern Argentina represented by an almost complete skull and several postcranial bones. Most of its braincase morphology has remained obscured by other skull bones and sediment. Additional mechanical preparation and X-ray computed tomography on the single known specimen of <i>Zupaysaurus</i> has allowed a detailed description of the braincase, the cranial endocast, and the inner ear of this Triassic dinosaur. Basal theropod braincases are poorly sampled and there is little information on this region, and even poorer knowledge on the brain and inner ear anatomy of Triassic forms. The virtual reconstruction of the braincase of <i>Zupaysaurus</i> shows anteroventrally oriented, finger-like basipterygoid processes, an elongate and horizontally projected cultriform process, and well-developed preotic pendant, basisphenoid recess, and subsellar recess. The endocranial morphology is partially reconstructed, showing an anteroposteriorly short but dorsoventrally tall cranial endocast, with well-marked demarcations between the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The inner ear preserves the three semicircular canals, but not the lagena. The posterior semicircular canal is proportionally large when compared with that of other theropods. The new information presented here on <i>Zupaysaurus rougieri</i> contributes to the knowledge of the neuroanatomy of basal theropods and sheds light on the evolutionary patterns of the braincase morphology in nonavian Theropoda.

title: Exploring patient and public involvement in motor neuron disease research

description: <i>Objectives:</i> Patient and public involvement (PPI) is a relatively new practice whereby researchers involve patients and the public in the conduct of their research. The Sheffield Motor Neurone Disorders Research Advisory Group (SMNDRAG) is one of the first groups to specialise in motor neuron disease (MND). Its members include people living with MND, carers, relatives, volunteers, clinicians, and scientists. Our aim was to explore the experiences of those who participate in, organise and work with the SMNDRAG. <i>Methods:</i> We conducted 13 semi-structured interviews: 10 with members of the SMNDRAG and three with researchers who have worked with the group. We used thematic analysis to identify ways in which the group influenced research and the barriers and enablers to PPI. <i>Results:</i> A number of motivations for participating in the SMNDRAG were reported but the majority were altruistic. The SMNDRAG offered individuals psychosocial and intellectual benefits. The SMNDRAG has overcome a number of practical and psychological barriers to developing a successful and effective collaborative partnership resulting in a positive impact on research and researchers at each stage of the research process. For example, the group identified research priorities which ensured that research was patient-focused. However, several barriers remain, including the lack of diversity within the group and the perception that PPI participation requires a “certain type of person.” <i>Conclusions:</i> PPI can make a valuable contribution to all aspects of research and can have a positive impact on those involved. We recommend ways in which PPI can and should be incorporated into research.

title: Data on the construction and validation of the Challenge Originating from Recent Gameplay Interaction Scale (CORGIS) - A psychometric tool for measuring perceived challenge in video games

description: This dataset consists of a single<b> Excel .xlsx </b>spreadsheet with four tabs. The data include a psychometric instrument for measuring perceived challenge in video games (named the <b>Challenge Originating from Recent Gameplay Interaction Scale</b>, or <b>CORGIS</b>), along with complementary data on how the CORGIS was derived and validated. <br>Names and brief explanations of the four tabs are as follows:- <b>CORGIS - Final</b>: The final CORGIS questionnaire of 30 questions, arranged into 4 sub-scales of Cognitive Challenge, Emotional Challenge, Performative Challenge, and Decision-Making Challenge. The questionnaire is intended for use as a Likert scale, in which answers range from 1 = 'strongly disagree' to 7 = 'strongly agree', with 4 being the neutral 'neither agree nor disagree'.- <b>Initial Items Pool and PCA</b>: An initial pool of 60 questions constructed via literature review and interviews with players, and refined to remove items not relevant to 'challenge'. Loadings of single-factor and four-factor Exploratory Factor Analysis based on the Likert responses are presented alongside the questions.- <b>Online survey I - Games</b>: A list of video games played by participants in the first of two online surveys. Data includes each game's genre and the frequencies of games per genre.- <b>Online survey II - Games</b>: A list of video games played by participants in the second of two online surveys. Data includes each game's genre and the frequencies of games per genre.<br><br>The related study gives an in-depth description of the creation of the CORGIS psychometric tool for measuring perceived challenge in digital games. The CORGIS is a systematic, extensive and reliable instrument to evaluate the level of player's perceived challenge in digital games, with the wider goal of providing a robust measure that can be used by both game developers and researchers to quantify players' challenge experiences.
