Measuring surface fluxes using the surface renewal (SR) method requires a set of programmatic algorithms for tabulation, algebraic calculation, and quality control. Full matlab scripts and functions, example data used in the analysis, and results are included in this data archive. Because the SR method utilizes high frequency (20-100 Hz+)...
This data contains results from direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional, premixed, hydrogen/air flames, using the multicomponent diffusion model. We performed the simulations using the finite-difference code NGA; simulation details are described completely in the associated article.
Flower number is the primary determinant of yield in pyrethrum (Tanacetum cineariifolium). Traditional estimates of flower numbers use physical harvesting of flowers, which is time consuming, destructive, and complicated. The precision of flower number estimates may be highly influenced by spatial heterogeneity of plant density and vigor. Here, we examined...
Intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect vital rates and population-level processes, and understanding these factors is paramount to devising successful management plans for wildlife species. For example, birds time migration in response, in part, to local and broadscale climate fluctuations to initiate breeding upon arrival to nesting territories, and prolonged inclement...
This data contains results from direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional, premixed, hydrogen/air flames, using the mixture-averaged diffusion model. We performed the simulations using the finite-difference code NGA; simulation details are described completely in the associated article.
This dataset contains trace-element data, descriptive information, and photographs for 328 field clays sampled in the Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico; mineralogical data are presented for a subset of the samples. The clay samples were generated as part of a valley-wide sampling strategy designed to capture spatial variation in clay composition...
This study describes a specimen that extends the oldest fossil evidence of Pinus L. to the Early Cretaceous Wealden Formation of Yorkshire, UK (131-129 million years ago), and prompts a critical reevaluation of criteria that are employed to identify crown group genera of Pinaceae from anatomically preserved seed cones. The...
Pseudoperonospora cubensis is an obligate pathogen and
causative agent of cucurbit downy mildew. To help advance
our understanding of the pathogenicity of P. cubensis, we
used RNA-Seq to improve the quality of its reference
genome sequence. We also characterized the RNA-Seq
dataset to inventory transcript isoforms and infer alternative
splicing...
The Fukushima Daiichi power station released
several radionuclides into the Pacific following the March 2011
earthquake and tsunami. A total of 26 Pacific albacore (Thunnus
alalunga) caught off the Pacific Northwest U.S. coast between
2008 and 2012 were analyzed for ¹³⁷Cs and Fukushima-attributed
¹³⁴Cs. Both 2011 (2 of 2) and...
Over the last three decades the first-order correlation in morphology and orientation of seamount trails
has been called upon to support the concept of a ‘‘fixed’’ Pacific hot spot frame of reference and to explain
the Hawaii-Emperor bend (HEB) by a dramatic change in Pacific plate motion. In this paper,...
