title: Plymouth L4 time series (1988-2017) of zooplankton abundance, biomass and traits.

description: The file "Plymouth L4_1988-2017 zooplankton abundance and biomass_v15.2.19" contains a user-friendly 30-year time series of zooplankton abundance, biomass and traits. The other files contain information on the methods used and the length measurements used to convert abundance to biomass estimates. This time series is built from our basic zooplankton time series whose sampling method is summarised in Atkinson et al. 2015 (Progr Oceanogr 137: 498-512 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.pocean.2015.04.023). Briefly, every week zooplankton are sampled from station L4 using a pair of 57cm diameter, 200 micron mesh WP2 nets hauled from 50m to the surface vertically. These take typically ~5 minutes total per haul. The source data thus contains numerical abundances, no. m-3 of each taxon, based on the mean value of the two hauls analysed separately. Over the years the level of taxonomic resolution has varied, making the time series a bit tricky to use. Therefore, we have made this time series more useful by a) pooling species, where necessary, to higher taxonomic levels and listing only these counts, so that we have a time series of only those metazoan taxa that were reasonably consistently identified throughout the whole time series; b) converting taxon numerical densities (nos m-3) to biomass densities (μg C m-3) to present alongside the original densities, and c) providing additional trait data such as estimated mean body carbon per individual, maximum body length, and trait allocation (e.g. meroplankton or holoplankton). These modifications are aimed to provide added utility to the existing time series, allowing it to be used for more purposes. It is important to note that the biomass values should only be used if it is essential to estimate biomass rather than abundance; abundance should be used wherever possible since these were determined directly. Users of these data should please quote the doi. of the data and contact the data originators (contact point Angus Atkinson aat@pml.ac.uk ) so that we can log the data usage to help justify to our funders that ongoing sampling is value for money. If the data form a major part of the study we would also appreciate more involvement with the study, to ensure that the source data and their caveats were interpreted correctly.

title: An analysis of the intestinal immune response of pigs divergent in feed efficiency following an ex-vivo lipopolysaccharide challenge

description: This data is additional data that is not appropriate to publish in the main manuscript which is described below. While feed efficiency is influenced by multiple physiological processes, it is not known how efficient and inefficient pigs differ in relation to their basal immune response, and particularly their innate immune response to a microbial challenge. Hence, the objective was to examine the expression of genes relating to the innate immune response in basal colonic tissue and colonic tissue following an ex-vivo lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge from pigs divergent in residual feed intake (RFI). Pigs that differed in RFI were selected from two different farms of origin. Colonic tissue was harvested, and two experimental conditions were explored: the first was basal unchallenged tissue and the second was colonic tissue following an ex-vivo LPS challenge. RNA was extracted and tested on a Nanostring panel of 72 genes coding for barrier defence proteins, transmembrane receptors, kinases, transcription regulators, cytokines and cytokine regulators. In the basal unchallenged tissue, the LRFI pigs had increased expression of AOAH, AP1, TRAM and the cytokines TNF, IL10 and CXCL8, compared to the HRFI pigs (P&lt;0.05), with a significant effect of farm of origin on 31 genes (P&lt;0.05). In the LPS challenged tissues, the LRFI group had higher expression of TLR1, TLR7, TLR8, GPR43/FFAR2, JAK2 and NFAM1 compared to the HRFI group (P&lt;0.05). In conclusion, these data suggest that LRFI pigs have an upregulated basal colonic inflammatory state and a disparate response to an LPS challenge compared to the inefficient HRFI pigs. This immune profile potentially enhances their capacity to respond to an infectious challenge.

title: The NAD-booster nicotinamide riboside potently stimulates hematopoiesis through increased mitochondrial clearance

description: It has been recently shown that increased oxidative phosphorylation, as reflected by increased mitochondrial activity, together with impairment of the mitochondrial stress response can severely compromise hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) regeneration. Here we show that the NAD+-boosting agent Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) reduces mitochondrial activity within HSCs through increased mitochondrial clearance, leading to increased asymmetric HSC divisions. NR dietary supplementation results in a significantly enlarged pool of progenitors, without concurrent HSC exhaustion, improves survival by 80%, and accelerates blood recovery after murine lethal irradiation and limiting-HSC transplantation. In immune-deficient mice, NR increased the production of human leucocytes from hCD34+ progenitors. Our work demonstrates for the first time a positive effect of NAD+ boosting strategies on the most primitive blood stem cells, establishes a novel link between HSC mitochondrial stress, mitophagy and stem cell fate decision, and unveils the potential of NR to improve recovery of patients suffering from hematological failure including post-chemo/radiotherapy.

title: Freezing front penetration-time dataset for a one-dimensional food slab

description: The data set consists of 1500 data points for the freezing front of a one-dimensional food slab. The purpose of these synthetic data was to furnish information for developing an analytical model of the moving boundary in food freezing problems. Freezing front data were generated by a finite difference numerical simulation solving the energy partial differential equation. This in turn was formulated with convection at one surface, as well as temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and effective heat capacity. The freezing front was detected, as it progressed from node to node, once the temperature fields were calculated. The data domain is defined by a number of food and cooling system properties. These were: Biot number ( 19 levels), a food dimensionless thermal conductivity parameter (4 ), a dimensionless latent heat number (4), a dimensionless cooling temperature (5), and a dimensionless front penetration depth (7). The combination of factors was done by blocks. Each factor combination included the 7 freezing front depth locations.

title: The impact of the importance of inconsistent evidence on auditor’s IT risk assessment

description: With the pervasive use of information technology (IT) systems for managing financial transaction data, controls have shifted from manual controls to automated controls. Instead of assessing only manual controls, auditors are required to understand IT environments and assess IT controls relating to financial reporting systems to ensure that effective IT controls are implemented and are not compromised. In addition, relevant IT risks must be identified and assessed to ensure that they do not significantly impact the financial reporting system, which may lead to material misstatements. Auditors assess IT risks based on evidence obtained during an audit. This evidence may be consistent or inconsistent with other evidence collected. In addition, some evidence may be more important than other evidence. This study examines the impact of inconsistent evidence related to general IT controls and application controls on overall IT risk assessment. The assessment of IT risk level is a relatively new and complex task for auditors; therefore, the role of the need for cognitive closure is researched in this study. In order to be able to assess IT risk accurately, auditors must have sufficient IT knowledge. This research also studies the influence of IT knowledge on overall IT risk assessment. The results indicate that the importance of inconsistent evidence on general IT controls affects overall IT risk assessment. The need for cognitive closure moderates the impact of the importance of inconsistent evidence related to general IT control risk on overall IT risk assessment. Auditors with high need for cognitive closure scores assess overall IT risk lower than auditors with low need for cognitive closure scores. However, IT knowledge does not moderate the impact of the importance of inconsistent evidence on overall IT risk assessment.

title: Inventory management of perishable products in a retail business: a comparison with and without in-store replenishment policies under different purchasing batch sizes

description: As their freshness level decreases with time and inventory is lost by deterioration (such as damage, spoilage, dryness, vaporization, etc.) with time, traditional methods for managing inventory are not suitable for perishable products. As a result, perishable products need extra attention to prevent expiration/disposal and lost sales costs, which would contribute hugely for the firms to suffer a huge loss. In the study, taking into consideration the age of perishable inventories, additional mechanisms to manage the inventory of such products are investigated in different scenarios, and with different cost combinations of holding, purchasing, lost sales, loss of goodwill, and handling costs, to study the effect on the inventory management of perishable products. The outcomes of the replenishment policies under different purchasing batch sizes with and without a backroom are also compared to find out how and in what situations the policy with backroom storage outperforms the others and can lead to cost reduction as compared to the case without backroom storage. These findings help firms decide the best policy for managing perishable products in a certain business environment.

title: Students’ motivation in studying English: a survey among Thai adult students in an English speaking class

description: This study attempted to investigate students’ motivation in studying in an English speaking class. The instrument utilized was a questionnaire. The participants were 31 intermediate-level adult students at a private language tutoring school in Bangkok. The data were collected from two different English speaking classes and analyzed by using descriptive statistics, e.g. frequency, percentage, mean score, and standard deviation via the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results indicated that students enrolled in this English speaking class because of extrinsic motivation rather than intrinsic motivation. For extrinsic motivation, instrumental motivation was indicated more strongly than integrative motivation. It was also found that English speaking classes at this tutoring school helped improve students’ speaking skills.

title: A corpus-based study of collocations of English synonyms: student and learner

description: The  present study aimed to (1) investigate the possible noun collocates of two synonyms, i.e., student and learner, and to (2) find differences between student and learner in terms of noun-noun collocations. In this study, student and learner serve as an attributive which is used to precede and modify other nouns. The data were derived from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA). For the task of synonym choice, the corpus-based data provided shared noun collocates of two synonyms. The result showed that student and learner share a similar meaning, but differ in terms of collocations. Furthermore, it was discovered that there are less-preferred collocations of learner as student seems to have more possible collocates. For this reason, the two synonyms cannot substitute another in all contexts. In addition, the corpus-based data are useful as they provide many examples of a large proportion of the vocabulary for language learning.

title: Development cooperation in public health: a case study of the prevention of emerging communicable diseases in border areas between Thailand-CLM countries (Cambodia-Lao PDR-Myanmar) 2012-2015

description: In the twenty first century, challenges in international relations have changed from traditional security (TS) to non-traditional security (NTS) challenges. Among others, emerging communicable diseases have become a threatening issue, posing political, economic and socio-cultural impacts across the borders of nation-states. This paper therefore studies emerging communicable diseases in border areas between Thailand and its neighbors, namely, Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar (CLM) from 2012 to 2015. The paper analyzes the Thai government’s strategies in health cooperation by utilizing liberal perspectives of International Relations with the emphasis on the concept of human security. It argues that, with the necessity and importance of interdependences among states to resolve common human security threats, Thailand will promote health diplomacy and seek cooperation with CLM in order to prevent and control trans-border, emerging communicable diseases. The paper focuses on the roles of Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA), Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as it is a leading government agency whose responsibility is to carry out policies and strategies of communicable disease prevention. By pursuing a development cooperation channel with CLM, one of the leading projects under TICA is “Building Awareness and Preparedness for Communicable Diseases and Emerging Diseases along the Thailand-Cambodia-Lao PDR-Myanmar Borders”. In the end, this paper will analyze the roles of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and how Thailand’s developmental foreign policy enhances the relationship between the country and its neighboring countries.

title: Determination of antibodies against angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) in Thai kidney transplant patients

description: Non-HLA antibodies specific to angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R-Ab) are associated with antibody mediated rejection after kidney transplantation. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of AT1R-Ab among pretransplant Thai patients and to compare the association of patient demographics to AT1R-Ab levels. This cohort study enrolled non-sensitized kidney transplant patients with negative panel reactive antibodies at the King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. Additionally, 10 samples of unrelated healthy male blood donors at the National Blood Centre, Thai Red Cross Society, Bangkok, Thailand were also included. AT1R-Ab level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit in all pretransplant serum samples using a cutoff of &gt;17.0 U/mL to distinguish AT1R-Ab (+) and AT1R-Ab (–) groups. In all, 70 patients enrolled, of which 52 were males with a mean age of 45 (17-68 years). Six patients (8.6%) were positive for AT1R-Ab (&gt;17.0 U/mL). The mean age of AT1R-Ab (+) was significantly lower than AT1R-Ab (−) groups (p = 0.02, t-test = 2.395, 95% CI = 2.008 - 22.086). Moreover, the AT1R-Ab (+) group had a significant increase in those patients &lt;30 years old (50.0% vs. 5.2%, p = 0.03, OR = 0.103, 95% CI = 0.017 - 0.631). No differences were found regarding sex, serum creatinine level, sensitization history, hypertension, body mass index, ischemic time and number of HLA-mismatches between AT1R-Ab positive and negative groups. In addition, AT1R-Ab (+) was also observed in one healthy blood donor with hypertension. This study was the first to report the prevalence of AT1R-Ab in Thai kidney transplant patients. Further studies are suggested for the application of AT1R-Ab detection for routine testing.
