title: Mobile Greenhouse Gas Emission Surveys from Canadian Landfills (2022)

description: Description
This metadata contains the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission mixing ratios collected during mobile surveys by FluxLab between June 26th and November 20th, 2022, from 125 Canadian landfills through offsite transects measurement from public roads. The data is organized into two folders: 
1. Time series for downwind offsite transects, including Methane (CH4) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) concentration, wind speed and direction, and anonymized UTM location
2. Anonymized UTM location for landfill polygon. 
This project was funded by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and aimed to provide insight into different types of landfills, including active and inactive a well as those with or without landfill gas collection systems. 
During our campaign, we equipped a research vehicle with a Picarro G2210i cavity ring-down spectrometer to measure CH₄ and CO₂ at 1-2 Hz. The inlet was mounted on a mast on the roof of the vehicle at a height of 80 cm, resulting in a total elevation of approximately 2.5-2.7 m above ground level. The mast supported other essential instruments, including a Gill Ultrasonic Anemometer for measuring wind speed and direction data with precision of 3% route mean square error (RMSE) for wind speed and ±3° for wind direction, a digital compass for precise orientation, and a high-accuracy GPS unit to track the vehicle's location throughout our surveys.
Every day, we performed GPS calibration by driving the vehicle in all four cardinal directions—north, south, east, and west. This allowed us to assess the accuracy of the GPS readings and make necessary adjustments to ensure reliable positioning data. All of our sensor data were logged using a CR1000X Campbell Scientific data logger, allowing us to synchronize the data collection from each instrument.
To ensure the accuracy of our gas measurements, we utilized benchmarking gases to evaluate the analyzer’s performance before and after the campaign in the lab using traceable gases, and daily during the campaign using compressed air cylinders of known concentration. Additionally, we conducted breath tests at the gas inlet prior to each survey to assess and correct for the time lag between the inlet and the analyzer introduced by the pump, tubing, and analyzer delay.
We sampled by driving slowly (~15-20 km hr-1) from the ambient toward the elevated CH4 concentration and then back to the ambient to sample the entire crosswind section of the plume. In most cases, public road access was the limiting factor for the number and location of the offsite transects.

title: JID-2023-1028.R2 - Imaging Mass Cytometry in Psoriatic Disease reveals immune profile heterogeneity in skin and synovial tissue

description: Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC) is a technology that enables comprehensive analysis of cellular phenotypes at the tissue level. We performed a multi-parameter characterization of structural and immune cell populations in psoriatic skin and synovial tissue samples aimed at characterizing immune cell differences in patients with psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
A panel of 33 antibodies was used to stain selected immune and structural cell populations. IMC data were segmented into single cells based on combinations of antibody stains. Single cells were then clustered into cell categories based on pre-specified markers. The spatial relationships of different cell populations were assessed using neighborhood analysis.
Among all cell types in the skin and synovium, lymphoid cells accounted for the most prevalent cell type. T cells and macrophages were the most prevalent immune cell type in the synovium and B cells and NK cells were also identified. Neighborhood analysis showed high correlation between synovial T cells, B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells and neutrophils suggesting spatial organization. 
Innate and adaptive immune cells can be reliably identified using IMC in skin and synovium. Inter-patient heterogeneity exists in tissue cell populations. IMC provides opportunities for exploring in depth underlying immunological mechanisms driving psoriasis and PsA.

title: Hydraulic and structural traits of trees across light gradients in the Amazon secondary forest

description: Data was collected in the Central Amazon region, in a five-year-old enrichment plantation. The collection period includes the drier and wetter periods. The collection years were 2021 and 2022.
description: Amazonian species are generally unable to adapt to long drought periods, indicating a low capacity to adjust their hydraulic traits. Secondary forests account for 20% of forest cover in the Amazon, making natural regeneration species crucial under climate change scenarios. In this study, we compared the hydraulic traits of five species, including non-pioneers (Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl., Carapa guianensis Aubl., Hymenaea courbaril L.) and pioneers (Cedrela fissilis Vell., Tabebuia rosea (Bertol.) Bertero ex A.DC.), across light conditions (understory, intermediate, gap) in a 22-year-old secondary forest in Central Amazon, Brazil. Twenty-five saplings were planted and monitored in 3 plots × 5 blocks. Five years after the plantation, we assessed growth, wood density, leaf water potential at predawn and midday, xylem embolism resistance (P50), and hydraulic safety margins (HSM). Leaf water potential ranged from -2.9 to 0 MPa. The non-pioneer species C. guianensis and H. courbaril exhibited the lowest P50 (-4.06 MPa), indicating higher embolism resistance, whereas the pioneer T. rosea had the highest P50 (-1.25 MPa), indicating lower resistance. HSM varied from -1.60 to 3.26 MPa, with lower values in gap conditions during the dry period (-1.60 MPa), especially affecting pioneer species. Wood density was influenced by both light and species type, with non-pioneers showing generally higher density, with H. courbaril reached 0.75 g cm-3 in the understory while the pioneer T. rosea showed the lowest density (0.27 g cm-3). These results highlight that light conditions affect hydraulic traits differently across species strategies, especially during early growth. Non-pioneer, slow-growing native species appear more resilient to light variation, making them suitable for future plantations aimed at climate adaptation in secondary forests

title: Empowering Women with Work at Home: Opportunity for Remote Home-based Apparel Production Networks

description: The shuttering of society led companies, institutions, and education to move to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic. With this has come favourable circumstances for women with childcare and eldercare responsibilities to be employed because of continued work at home opportunities. Since 2020 there has been an increase of women in the workforce with children under the age of five inclusive of married women, single women, women with a high school education and less, as well as newcomers and immigrants. While todays work at home jobs are mainly digital jobs in the professions of accounting, legal, finance, marketing, human resources, health, customer service, and cybersecurity, there is also opportunity in the field of apparel manufacturing. By enabling apparel workers to work remotely an often ignored and potential workforce presents itself in an industry that is increasingly challenged with finding sewing skill and expertise. This is mutually beneficial as the women have access to an economy that might otherwise not be available to them because of their caregiving responsibilities.

title: Data set to accompany manuscript "Seasonal plasticity in the thermal sensitivity of metabolism but not water loss in a fossorial ectotherm"

description: Ectotherms from highly seasonal habitats should have enhanced potential for physiological plasticity to cope with climatic variability. However, whether this pattern is applicable to fossorial ectotherms, who are potentially buffered from thermal variability, is still unclear. Here, we evaluated how seasonal acclimatisation (spring vs. autumn) affected the thermal sensitivity of standard metabolic rates (SMR), rates of evaporative water loss (EWL), and skin resistance to water loss (Rs) in the Spotted Salamander (Ambystoma maculatum). We hypothesised that temperature would have both short- and long-term effects over traits (i.e., acute exposure to test temperatures and seasonal acclimatisation, respectively). After accounting for body mass and sex, we found that short-term changes in temperature led to an increase in SMR, EWL, and Rs. Additionally, SMR and Rs differed between seasons, but EWL did not. Sustaining low SMR and high Rs in the spring may allow salamanders to allocate energy toward overwintering emergence and breeding while simultaneously maximising water conservation. By contrast, maintaining high SMR and low Rs in the autumn may allow salamanders to forage aboveground on rainy nights to replenish energy reserves in preparation for the winter. Despite the common assumption that fossorial ectotherms are buffered from thermal effects, our study shows that functional differences between seasons (i.e., breeding in the spring and provisioning in the autumn) are accompanied by seasonal changes in energetic and hydroregulatory requirements.

title: Evaluation of Laboratory Methods to Quantify Particle Size Segregation Using Image Analysis in Landslide Flume Tests

description: Landslides comprised of a wide range of particle sizes (e.g. debris flows) exhibit flow structures arising from particle size segregation. Segregation influences the mobility of the flow, the development of debris fans, and the resulting impact forces to be expected when designing barriers and containment structures. In order to capture the flow dynamics of segregable materials in numerical simulations, experimental datasets quantifying segregation in the final deposit are required. However, the measurement of segregation is not a straightforward task as segregation observed at an external transparent boundary may not be indicative of segregation within the bulk of the landslide mass due to sidewall friction. In this paper we explore the use of four different strategies to optically measure particle size segregation in large landslide flume tests, comparing measurements taken i) at the external transparent flume boundary; ii) using a thin transparent plane as a splitter plate along the centre of the flow; and using a iii) vertically; or iv) horizontally inserted transparent plate into the static deposit after flow arrest. Relationships between concentrations measured by projected area (i.e. sidewall image) to concentrations by mass are derived and validated for a tridisperse mixture to assess which sampling method most closely represented the original source volume. Of the four strategies tested, the transparent splitter plane method was identified to cause the least amount of out-of-plane segregation of particles, provides a rich database of highly detailed observations of segregation of a tridisperse granular flows that can be used to evaluate future numerical model outcomes, and is recommended for future laboratory flume investigations.

title: “The advice? Think bigger”: Community perspectives on dairy farming, including surplus calves – an Australian focus group study

description: Citizens are becoming increasingly disconnected from food production. Despite this, many people still hold strong values about how food is produced. The aim of this study was to attain an in-depth understanding of Australian public attitudes towards sustainability and animal welfare in dairy production, as well as early life killing of surplus dairy calves and cow-calf separation; issues commonly identified as being out of step with public values. We conducted three focus group sessions, each with 8 Australians that varied in age, gender identity, income, and frequency of consumption of dairy products. Thematic analysis of the semi-structured discussions resulted in two key themes, each with underlying sub-themes: 1) Animal agriculture as an industry, including sustainability, farmers as people, and farming practices; and 2) Personal impacts and reflections as citizens, including ethical considerations, and consumer behaviors.
