title: Determining the effects that home life and time spent at work have on grade point averages

description: Surveyed university students around 3pm on Friday, September 19, at York University. Approached 25 different students at random and asked them if they would provide their GPA for an anonymous survey. Students who did not want to provide their GPA were omitted from the study. If a GPA was provided, students were then asked a series of questions, whether they had any siblings at home; if so, they were asked how many of the siblings were biological. They were also asked if they had an occupation and if so, how many hours they worked per week. Results were entered into Excel and uploaded to Figshare.

description: This dataset contains article processing charge (APC) data which some institutions in the UK have released as part of their compliance with the RCUK open access policy. The data covers APCs paid from RCUK funds from 1 April 2013 - 31 July 2014. The data has been taken from other publicly available datasets and re-combined into a single standard format (see https://www.jisc-collections.ac.uk/Jisc-Monitor/APC-data-collection/). It should not be regarded as representing all APCs paid by these institutions. Originally, the data was from institutions which chose to release it themselves. It has now been expanded to include data released by RCUK in March 2015 (http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/openaccess/2014review/data/). The dataset contains data on 3,721 APCs from 29 institutions. <strong>UPDATE 05/06/2015</strong>: 13 APCs from Northumbria University were removed because they were not paid from RCUK funds.

title: A Web 2.0 Platform for a Century of Glaciological Observations in the Italian Alps

description: More than 100 years of systematic glacier monitoring in the Italian Alps have produced one of the longest and most valuable series of observations of this kind in the world. The collection is relevant not only for its value as historical archive, but also as an important reference for analyzing past trends and for modeling the future of the cryosphere and the hydrology in Europe. The format of the reports and the instrumentation used by the operators have widely changed over the century, from paper notes to spreadsheets, from slides to digital photos, from tape readings to GPS, and this evolution is still in progress. It follows a great heterogeneity in the collection, making extremely onerous both storing and consulting all the documents. It is a crucial objective to preserve this heritage, to make it available to scientists for analysis, and to ensure its continuation over time. Recent information technology advancements let foresee scenarios in which mobile smart devices and sensors will assist operators in recording field measurements, while web processes and applications will facilitate the automatic storage and display of data. User-friendly interfaces and interactive tools could then help non-experts to collect, map and handle additional glaciological information. The geo-web offers effective ways to manage the most varied contents on a single multipurpose platform: while supporting spatial and temporal analysis, it will also facilitate a collaboration respectful of local practices and intellectual property rights. Moreover, the use of standard web services guarantees for the sharing, the re-use and the maintenance of the collections over time. Following these criteria a web platform has been designed and implemented in a prototype form. It assimilates existing modules in a comprehensive framework and complement them with new services, tools and interfaces, with the aim to foster collection and consultation of heterogeneous glaciological observations.

title: Induced Autoimmunity against Gonadal Proteins Affects Gonadal Development in Juvenile Zebrafish (Dataset)

description: A method to mitigate or possible eliminate reproduction in farmed fish is highly demanded. The existing approaches have certain applicative limitations. In mammals, immunocontraception has been applied to control wildlife populations with some success. However, such a strategy is not relevant in fish, where reducing gonadal growth, rather than preventing fertilization is required. So far, no immunization strategies affecting gonadal development in juvenile animals have been developed. We hypothesize that autoimmune mechanisms, occurring spontaneously in a number of diseases, could be induced by targeted immunization. We have asked whether the immunization against specific targets in a juvenile zebrafish gonad will produce an autoimmune response, and consequently, disturbance in gonadal development. Gonadal soma-derived factor (Gsdf), growth differentiation factor (Gdf9), and lymphocyte antigen 75 (Cd205/Ly75), all essential for early gonad development, were targeted with 5 self-vaccine tests. Zebrafish (n=329) were injected at 6 weeks post fertilization, a booster injection was applied 15 days later, and fish were sampled at 30 days. We localized targeted protein transcripts by in situ hybridization, quantified expression of immune-, apoptosis-, and gonad-related genes with quantitative real-time PCR, and performed gonadal histology and whole-mount immunohistochemistry for Bcl2-interacting-killer (Bik) pro-apoptotic protein. The treatments resulted in an autoimmune reaction, gonad developmental retardation, intensive apoptosis, cell atresia, and disturbed transcript production. Testes were remarkably underdeveloped after anti-Gsdf treatments. Anti-Gdf9 treatments promoted apoptosis in testes and abnormal development of ovaries. Anti-Cd205 treatment stimulated a strong immune response in both sexes, resulting in oocyte atresia and strong apoptosis in supporting somatic cells. The effect of immunization was FSH-independent. Furthernmore, immunization against germ cell proteins disturbed somatic supporting cell development. This is the first report to demonstrate that targeted autoimmunity can disturb gonadal development in a juvenile fish. It shows a straightforward potential to develop auto-immunization-based technologies to mitigate fish reproduction before they reach maturation. However, the highly variable results between treatments and individuals suggest significant optimization should be performed to achieve the full potential of this technology.

title: Lab 2: Techniques & data: field training with plants (traits, transects, and quadrats) DATASET 1

description: To measure plant diversity in locations around campus, n = 25 quadrats (1m x 1m) were randomly placed in the grasslands around Stong Pond at York University (43°46'13.2"N 79°30'25.9"W) on September 23rd 2014 from approximately 4:00pm to 4:30pm. The weather was party cloudy with a temperature between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. To begin the sampling procedure, the first quadrat was randomly placed in an area along the grassland boundary. Subsequent quadrats were randomly sampled by walking 5-10 steps in a random direction from the last quadrat placed until another boundary of the grassland was reached. Once a boundary was reached a new sample area in the grassland was randomly chosen by walking 30m from the previous sample area and the process was repeated until n=25 plots were sampled. The total number of plants along with the number of species, vegetation coverage and grass coverage were estimated for each sample. Number of plants were counted by observing the amount of unique stems in the sample. Species were differentiated based on morphological characterstics using an identification key. Coverage was estimated using the observed percentages of the total sample area occupied by the plants of interest and grass, respectively. At the time of sampling, the most abundant species included the following: Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), Canadian Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) and Late Purple Aster (Aster prenanthoides).

title: Modeling elastic wave propagation using PyOpenCL

description: This work presents an implementation of elastic wave propagation using finite differences to model 2D anisotropic materials and to simulate sonic waves along a borehole in a heterogeneous formation (in cylindrical coordinates) accelerated by using the new parallel computing devices (PCDs). For that purpose we use the industry open standard Open Computing Language (OpenCL) and an open-source toolkit called PyOpenCL. We describe the code and give a performance test in terms of speed using six different computing devices under different operating systems. A maximum speedup factor over 34.2, using the GPU is attained when compared with the execution of the same program in parallel using a CPU quad-core. To provide the scientific community with an open tool for numerical simulation of elastic wave propagation that runs on the PCDs, the full implementation of both problems is included as an open source.
