title: The second data release from the European Pulsar Timing Array III. Search for gravitational wave signals

description: We present the results of the search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational wave background (GWB) at nanohertz frequencies using the second data release of the European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA) for 25 millisecond pulsars and a combination with the first data release of the Indian Pulsar Timing Array (InPTA). A robust GWB detection is conditioned upon resolving the Hellings-Downs angular pattern in the pairwise cross-correlation of the pulsar timing residuals. Additionally, the GWB is expected to yield the same (common) spectrum of temporal correlations across pulsars, which is used as a null hypothesis in the GWB search. Such a common-spectrum process has already been observed in pulsar timing data. We analysed (i) the full 24.7-year EPTA data set, (ii) its 10.3-year subset based on modern observing systems, (iii) the combination of the full data set with the first data release of the InPTA for ten commonly timed millisecond pulsars, and (iv) the combination of the 10.3-year subset with the InPTA data. These combinations allowed us to probe the contributions of instrumental noise and interstellar propagation effects. With the full data set, we find marginal evidence for a GWB, with a Bayes factor of four and a false alarm probability of 4%. With the 10.3-year subset, we report evidence for a GWB, with a Bayes factor of 60 and a false alarm probability of about 0.1% (≳ 3σ significance). The addition of the InPTA data yields results that are broadly consistent with the EPTA-only data sets, with the benefit of better noise modelling. Analyses were performed with different data processing pipelines to test the consistency of the results from independent software packages. The latest EPTA data from new generation observing systems show non-negligible evidence for the GWB. At the same time, the inferred spectrum is rather uncertain and in mild tension with the common signal measured in the full data set. However, if the spectral index is fixed at 13/3, the two data sets give a similar amplitude of (2.5 ± 0.7) × 10−15 at a reference frequency of 1 yr−1 . Further investigation of these issues is required for reliable astrophysical interpretations of this signal. By continuing our detection efforts as part of the International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA), we expect to be able to improve the measurement of spatial correlations and better characterise this signal in the coming years.

title: HeatResilientCity II - work package 2.2: Influence of regional and urban climate on indoor overheating - Results of building performance simulation

description: This repository contains the results of the building performance simulations carried out in the working package 2.2 Influence of regional and urban climate on indoor overheating of the project HeatResilientCity II. The buildings under consideration are a multi-residential so-called ‘Gründerzeithaus’ (GZH) and a large-panel construction (LPC) building. The results were extracted for two rooms on the top floor/attic of each building and follow a consistent name convention. Each file contains hourly resolved values for the outdoor air temperature, the indoor air temperature, the indoor operative temperature and the relative humidity indoors and outdoors. Further information can be found in the README of this repository. The simulations were performed for five different regions in Germany (Dresden, Hamburg, Köln, Stuttgart and Potsdam) for average present and future summers based on meteorological measurement data and under consideration of urban climate.


In addition to the ‘plain’ simulation results, some heat-indicator variables were calculated and listed in the files Calculated_Variables.txt. The calculated quantities include temperature-weighted exceedance hours (TWEH) for the limits of 25, 26 and 27 °C (defined in DIN 4108-2:2013 as ‘Übertemperaturgradstunden’) and the maximum operative temperature calculated for the period from April to September.


The used input data and building models can be found in the related repository.

title: Sevilleta plant phenology predicts stability of primary production from 2002 to 2020.

description: The temporal stability of plant productivity affects species’ access to resources, exposure to stressors, and strength of interactions with other species in the community, including support to the food web. The magnitude of temporal stability may depend on how a species allocates resources across phenological stages, such as vegetative growth versus reproduction. Understanding whether and how plant phenological traits correlate with the long-term stability of plant biomass is particularly important in highly variable environments, such as drylands. We evaluated whether phenological traits predict the temporal stability of plant species productivity by correlating 18 years of monthly phenology observations with biannual estimates of aboveground plant biomass for 98 plant species from semi-arid grasslands and shrublands. We then paired these phenological traits with potential climate drivers to identify abiotic contexts that favor specific phenological strategies among plant species. Phenological traits strongly predicted the stability of plant species biomass. Plant species with longer annual vegetative phenophases had more stable production over time but also failed to fruit in a greater proportion of years, indicating a growth-reproduction trade-off. Earlier leaf- out dates, longer fruiting duration, and longer time lags between leaf and fruit production also predicted greater temporal stability. Species with stability-promoting traits began growing in drier conditions than their counterparts and experienced greater exposure to stress, evaluated by the wider range of temperatures and precipitation during biologically active periods. Our results suggest that bet-hedging strategies which spread resource acquisition and reproduction over longer time periods help to stabilize plant species productivity in variable environments.

title: Sevilleta Plant Species Sensitivity of Dryland Plant Allometry to Climate

description: Patterns of plant biomass partitioning are fundamental to estimates of primary productivity and ecosystem process rates. Allometric relationships between aboveground plant biomass and non-destructive measures of plant size, such as cover, volume, or stem density are widely used in plant ecology. Such size-biomass allometry is often assumed to be invariant for a given plant species, plant functional group, or ecosystem type. Allometric adjustments may be an important component of the short- or long-term responses of plants to abiotic conditions. We used 18 years of size-biomass data describing 85 plant species to investigate the sensitivity of allometry to precipitation, temperature, or drought across two seasons and four ecosystems in central New Mexico, USA. Our results demonstrate that many plant species adjust patterns in the partitioning of aboveground biomass under different climates and highlight the importance of long-term data for understanding functional differences among plant species.

title: Supplementary Material for: Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Greek Cypriot Montreal Children’s Hospital Feeding Scale

description: Introduction: Assessing pediatric feeding difficulties (PFD) is essential for a child’s development to prevent severe consequences. The assessment procedures for PFD may include parents’ questionnaires such as the Montreal Children’s Hospital Feeding Scale (MCH-FS). The aim of this study was the cross-cultural adaptation of the MCH-FS to the Greek language. 
Methods: 100 parents of Greek Cypriot children with PFD (clinical group) and 100 parents of healthy Greek Cypriot children (control group) aged six months to 16 years old participated in the study and completed the MCH-FS. World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines were implemented for translation and cultural adaptation. 
Results: The internal consistency was excellent α= 0.85 (ICC: 0.817-0.891). Content validity was significant (S-CVI=1) with an agreement equal to 14. A strong and significant correlation of MCH-FS was computed according to Principal Component Αnalysis (PCA) [14 items ranging between -0.6 and 0.7]. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) Factor analysis was equal to 0.91 with substantial correlations (Bartlett’s test= 0.001654804). The MCH-FS cut-off point between the two groups was 38.00 [AUC 0.901, (95% CI: 0.859-0.942), p&lt;0.001; sensitivity= 0.800 and 1-specificity= 0.630]. A statistically significant difference between the two groups was observed for the MCH-FS total score, with the clinical group scoring higher [U= 992.00, p&lt; 0.001]. Likewise, the same differences were observed among children with different PFD, H (3) = 96.715, p&lt; 0.001.
Conclusion: The MCH-FS had good psychometric properties in its current form in Greek. It is suggested that the MCH-FS can be used as a valid tool for children with PFD in the Greek Cypriot population.

title: Supplementary Material for: Efficacy of a standalone smartphone application to treat postnatal depression: a randomized controlled trial

description: Introduction: smartphone app interventions based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are promising scalable alternatives for treating mental disorders, but the evidence of their efficacy for postpartum depression is limited. We assessed the efficacy of Motherly, a standalone CBT-based smartphone app, in reducing symptoms of postpartum depression. Methods: women aged 18-40 with symptoms of postpartum depression were randomized either to intervention (Motherly app) or active control (COMVC app). The primary outcome was symptoms of depression measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) at post-treatment. Secondary outcomes were anxiety symptoms, parental stress, quality of sleep, behavioral activation, availability of response-contingent positive reinforcement, and clinical improvement at post-treatment and 1-month follow-up. Exploratory analyses were performed to investigate if app engagement was associated with treatment response. Results: From November 2021 to August 2022, 1751 women volunteered, of which 264 were randomized, and 215 provided primary outcome data. No statistically significant differences were found between groups at post-treatment: intervention: Mean (SD): 12.75 (5.52); active control: 13.28 (5.32); p=0.604. There was a statistically significant effect of the intervention on some of the secondary outcomes. Exploratory analyses suggest a dose-response relationship between Motherly app engagement and outcomes. Conclusion: our standalone app intervention did not significantly reduce postnatal depression symptoms when compared to active control. Exploratory findings suggest that negative findings might be associated with insufficient app engagement. Consistent with current literature, our findings suggest that standalone app interventions for postpartum depression are not ready to be implemented in clinical practice.

title: Moored and ship-based oceanographic data collected during Shallow-water Acoustic Variability EXperiment (SAVEX15)

description: A shallow-water acoustic variability experiment (SAVEX15) was conducted from 14th to 28th of May 2015 in the northeastern East China Sea focusing on a relatively small area (~10 by 10 km) ~100 km southwest of Jeju Island, Republic of Korea, where water depth is ~100 m. During the experiment, two vertical line arrays (VLAs) equipping hydrophones were deployed in the area where 25 temperature loggers (U12-015 HOBO) and 5 Star-Oddi temperature-depth-tilt sensors were attached to collect time-series of water temperature at nominal depths ranging from 22 to 80 m and 2 to 22 m, respectively, with a sampling time interval of 30 sec. Along with the moored sensors, Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD, 24-Hz Sea-Bird Electronics 911plus) and underway CTD (UCTD, 16-Hz Teledyne Oceanscience) were used to collect ship-based vertical profiles of water temperature and salinity data. Typical descending speeds of the CTD and UCTD were less than ~1 and ~4 m s-1, respectively, and the UCTD data were collected in three different modes – freefall, tow-yo, and static modes at ship speeds of 2–10 kt. The total number of vertical profiles collected using CTD and UCTD were 26 and 1026, respectively. The uploaded data files contain variables in NetCDF format that are obtained using the VLAs, CTD, and UCTD during the SAVEX15, processed, quality controlled, and quality assured.

title: North American Bird Banding Program Dataset 1960-2022 retrieved 2022-07-14

description: The North American Bird Banding Program is directed in the United States by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Bird Banding Laboratory (BBL), Eastern Ecological Science Center at the Patuxent Research Refuge (EESC) and in Canada by the Bird Banding Office (BBO), Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). The respective banding offices have similar functions and policies and use the same bands, reporting forms and data formats. Data contributors are US and Canadian bird banding permit holders: federal, state, tribal, local government, non-government agencies, business, university and avocational biologists. Bird banders capture wild birds and mark them with a metal leg band with a unique 9-digit number. Extra markers may be added. Attributes of a bird such as age, sex, condition, molt and morphometrics may be taken before the bird is released. This long-term dataset is made up of over 76 million bird banding records with over 1,000 species, and 5 million encounter records with nearly 800 species. Federal bands are used on species included in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). Banding, encounter and recapture records are available for years 1960 to present. The data is curated at BBL on a daily basis, therefore each yearly version may differ from previous releases. The BBL produces one data release annually. Each yearly release is available for request. Data quality is established by contributors submitting their data. Incoming data must pass automatic validation rules to meet quality standards, and in some cases additional validation is conducted by staff at BBL and BBO. It is imperative to understand the codes used by the BBL and BBO. In early days of storage space restrictions for electronic data, an efficient system of codes was developed. Some examples include: bird status code, coordinate precision, inexact date, minimum age at encounter. BBL terminology is important as well: an encounter refers to a sighting or direct encounter with a banded or auxiliary-marked bird by any person; recapture denotes a banded bird recaptured during banding operations; recovery refers a harvested gamebird.
