Replication Data for: Cango Lyec (Healing the Elephant): Chronic Hepatitis B Virus among post-conflict affected populations living in Mid-Northern Uganda
— 2021-04-23 <p>Background: The legacy of war in Northern Uganda continues to impact people’s health and wellbeing in the Acholi region. Despite increasing attention to Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) in Uganda and globally, concerns remain that unique drivers of infection, and barriers to screening, and treatment, persist among those affected by conflict.</p> <p>Methods: Cango Lyec (Healing the Elephant) cohort survey involved conflict-affected adults aged 13-49 in three mid-Northern Uganda districts (Gulu, Amuru and Nwoya). Baseline (2011-2012) samples were tested for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), HBV e-antigen (HBeAg), antibodies to HBV surface antigen (HBsAb), antibodies to HBV e-antigen (HBeAb), and antibodies to HBV core antigen (HBcAb). All HBsAg positive samples were tested for IgM antibodies to HBV B core antigen (HBc-IgM) and where available, &gt;6-month follow-up samples were tested for HBeAg and HBV DNA. Data were analyzed using STATA 15 software. Logistic regression accounted for variance due to complex two-stage sampling that included stratification, unequal selection probabilities and community clustering. Odds ratios measured effect potential risk factors associated with chronic HBV infection.</p> <p>Results: Among 2,421 participants, 45.7% were still susceptible to HBV infection. HBsAg seropositivity was 11.9% (10.9-13.0), chronic HBV was 11.6% (10.4-12.8), acquired immunity resulting from vaccination was 10.9%, and prior natural infection was 31.5%. Older age (OR:0.570; 95%CI:0.368-0.883) and higher education (OR:0.598; 95%CI:0.412-0.868) were associated with reduced odds of chronic HBV infection. Being male (OR:1.639; 95%CI:1.007-2.669) and having been abducted (OR:1.461; 95%CI:1.055-2.023) were associated with increased odds of infection. Among women, having 1 or 2 pregnancies (compared to none or &gt;2) was associated with increased odds of infection (OR:1.764; 95%CI:1.009-3.084).</p> <p>Conclusion: Chronic HBV is endemic in Gulu, Amuru and Nwoya districts. Recommended strategies to reduce post-conflict prevalence include establishment of Northern Uganda Liver Wellness Centres, integration of screening and treatment into antenatal care, and roll out of birth-dose vaccination.</p>

Evaluation of snag density and snag metrics in Old Growth Deferral Priority Areas in the Cariboo region using airborne LiDAR data
— 2022-05-04 Standing dead trees (snags) are crucial habitats for fauna in mature and diverse forests along the Interior Douglas-fir Zone of British Columbia. The objective of this study is to evaluate whether snag density and snag metrics differ between three categories of at-risk and irreplaceable Old Growth Priority Deferral Areas (ancient, big-treed and remnant) and their neighbouring areas with no deferral status. Using airborne LiDAR data, we detect snags using 1) area-based forest metrics paired with random forest modelling, and 2) an individual snag detection algorithm.

Replication Data for: The assessment of mineralogical properties and hydrological or physicochemical controls on the drainage chemistry of mine waste rock
— 2020-04-20 This study investigates the relationship between waste rock weathering, processes controlling mineral reactivity or solute mobility, and drainage chemistry in field barrel kinetic tests or within the full-scale waste-rock pile. This thesis is divided into 3 research chapters (Chapters 2 to 4) describing the application of automated mineralogical characterizations of waste rock linked to the hydrological regime and/or the leaching behaviour of waste rock after weathering at two scales: field barrels (Chapters 2 and 3) and full-scale waste-rock pile (Chapter 4). Overall, this thesis is facilitating the interpretation of waste-rock reactivity using waste-rock quantitative mineralogical evaluations; providing mineralogical perspectives on geochemical and hydrological processes; expanding the identification of mechanisms affecting metal mobility from waste-rock drainage; and, providing information to achieve more accurate drainage prediction models.

Quantifying Upslope Treeline Advancement in the Mountainous Areas of the Cariboo Natural Resource Region, British Columbia, from 1985 to 2020
— 2022-04-19 Upslope treeline advancement has been occurring globally over the last several decades, leading to displacement and fragmentation of alpine habitats and declines in species richness. Examining past and current treeline migration can provide insight into potential future conditions and can be used to improve ecosystem management. There is no long-term data on treeline advancement in Central British Columbia (B.C.) and the response to climate change is poorly understood. To address this, we explored treeline advancement in the Cariboo Natural Resource Region over a 35-year period (1985-2020) using Landsat imagery. Changes to the rate of advancement within the Engelmann-Spruce Subalpine Fir (ESSF) Biogeoclimatic Zone (BEC) were investigated in five-year increments using a common greenness index and the effects of slope and aspect were analysed. The most significant increase in advancement was observed between 2005 to 2015, with 190 km2 more advancement occurring in the 2010-2015 period compared to the 2005-2010 period. This large increase could be a result of temperature warming in the region beginning in the 1990s. Unexpectedly, we found steep sloped regions (> 30 degrees) exhibited greater treeline advancement throughout the study period, compared to gentle slopes (< 30 degrees). One possible reason for this is that steep slopes are less prone to cold sinks and trees favour warm temperatures for establishment. Aspect had no effect on treeline advancement, likely due to greater moisture on north-facing slopes but warmer temperatures on south-facing slopes. Additionally, significant variability throughout the study region was found, illustrating the complexity of treeline advancement and the challenges that exist when examining large geographic regions, as well as the importance of local ecosystem knowledge for future treeline modelling.

Comparing the Level of Above-ground Carbon Sequestration and Respective Ecosystem Services between Native and Cultivated Trees in the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden
— 2022-04-19 Urban trees play an essential role in alleviating the local effects of global warming by sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide, regulating temperature and reducing air pollution in urban areas. There have been studies estimating carbon sequestration of urban trees using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). Yet, neither of the studies made comparison between species nor extended the discussion towards ecosystem services. Therefore, this study compared the attributes between native and cultivated trees in the Asian Garden of the University of British Columbia (UBC) Botanical Garden, estimated their level of above-ground carbon sequestration, and thus examined respective implications in terms of ecosystem services. A canopy height model was first generated from LiDAR point cloud data for individual tree segmentation based on Dalponte algorithm. There were 803 derived trees matched successfully with the field-measured trees in ArcGIS with an accuracy of 69.5%. The level of above-ground carbon sequestration of each tree was estimated from tree height and canopy area using a non-linear regression model. Results showed that the average carbon sequestration level of native trees was higher than cultivated trees by 1102 kg (p = 3.045 x 10-7), which facilitated more effective soil formation. The average canopy areas of both trees were approximately 63 m2 (p = 0.696), which gives rise to their similar contribution in temperature cooling and air purification. In general, the garden provides a high level of biodiversity and education value thanks to its high species diversity. Regarding future directions in garden management, the removal of native trees and the planting location of cultivated trees in the garden should be carefully evaluated since they have higher level of ecosystem services and higher crown area to height ratio respectively.

Replication Data for: "Investigating Flow State and Cardiac Pre-ejection Period During Electronic Gaming Machine Use"
— 2020-02-14 Flow activities (e.g. sports and gaming) have been associated with positive affect and prolonged engagement. In the gambling field, modern electronic gaming machines (EGMs, including modern slot machines) have drawn concern as a potentially flow inducing activity that may be associated with gambling-related harms. Current research has heavily relied on self-reported flow, and further insights may be afforded by physiological methods. We present data from three separate experiments in which self reported gambling flow and cardiac pre-ejection period (PEP; a measure of sympathetic nervous system arousal) were examined. Male undergraduate participants gambled on a genuine EGM in a laboratory setting for a period of at least 15 min, and completed the Flow subscale of the game experience questionnaire (GEQ). Aggregated data were analyzed using multilevel regression. Although EGM gambling was not associated with significant changes in PEP across participants, we found that self-reported flow states were associated with significant decreases in PEP during the first five minutes of EGM use. Thus, participants who experienced flow showed a greater sympathetic nervous system response to the onset of gambling. Though these effects were consistent in experiments 1 and 2, in experiment 3 the effect was inverted during the same time window. We conclude that flow during EGM gambling appears to be associated with early changes in sympathetic nervous system activity, but stress that more research is needed to characterize boundary conditions and moderating factors.

Replication Data for "Progressive development of E-W extension across the Tibetan plateau: A case study of the Thakkhola graben, west-central Nepal"
— 2019-12-04 Full analytical data in support of the manuscript "Progressive development of E-W extension across the Tibetan plateau: A case study of the Thakkhola graben, west-central Nepal", submitted to International Geology Review The Thakkhola graben is a large-scale N-S striking, E-W extensional structure located in west-central Nepal that previous work has shown was actively developing ~ 17 Myr ago. New multi-system geochronological data from the immediate footwall of the Dangardzong fault, the main graben-forming structure in the Thakkhola, outline decelerating cooling paths. The average cooling rate in the footwall of the Dangardzong fault changes from 55 ± 5 ˚C/Ma in the early Miocene (~ 22-13) defined by monazite U-Th/Pb pluton crystallization ages, mica <sup>40</sup>Ar/<sup>39</sup>Ar cooling ages and zircon U-Th/He ages, to 18 ± 7 ˚C/Ma in the middle to late Miocene (~13-8 Ma) between zircon and apatite U-Th/He ages, and finally to 6 ± 3 ˚C/Ma from the late Miocene to present day (cooling post apatite U-Th/He closure). The changing cooling rate is interpreted to reflect the widespread development of graben in the Tibetan plateau beginning in the middle Miocene and the progressive partitioning of strain away from the Thakkhola.

Future climatic suitability of native tree species in restoration sites in Northwestern Ecuador
— 2022-02-10 Climatic suitability of 10 tree species in 1237 restoration sites in Northwest Ecuador under baseline climatic conditions (1960-1990) and two climate scenarios (RCP 4.5 and 8.5) in the 2030s, 2050s, and 2070s. We built bioclimatic niche models to obtain the climatic suitability values for the species at each restoration site. The suitability values ranged from 0 (unsuitable) to 1 (suitable). Suitability thresholds (i.e., MaxSS, MTP, 10% TP) per species are provided to categorize species as "suitable" or "unsuitable" at the restoration sites. We used this dataset on species climatic suitability in restoration sites to assess the species climatic viability (i.e., persistance over time). Obtain further detail on this dataset's content in the file "AA_README.txt" in English, or "AA_README_Español.txt" in Spanish. Geographical data on the restoration sites location is not publicly available due to privacy restrictions from the government of Ecuador under the permit (MAE-SG-2018-6447-E). We submited the manuscript related to this dataset to a scientific journal. We hope to add the publication link to this metadata as soon as it is published and available online.

Attitudes of laboratory animal professionals and researchers towards carbon dioxide euthanasia for rodents and perceived barriers to change
— 2022-02-14 In this study we conducted an online survey of Canadian and European laboratory animal professionals and researchers (n 592) to assess their attitudes towards the use of CO2 and alternative methods for rodent euthanasia using quantitative 7-point scale (from 1 (  strongly oppose) to 7 (  strongly favour) and qualitative (open-ended text) responses. CO2 was identified as the most common method used to kill rodents, and attitudes towards this method were variable and on average ambivalent (mean SD score on our 7-point scale was 4.4 1.46). Qualitative analysis revealed four themes relating to participant attitude: (a) the animal’s experience during gas exposure; (b) practical considerations for humans; (c) compromise between the animal’s experience and practical considerations; and (d) technical description of the procedure or policies. Many participants (51%) felt that there were alternatives available that could be considered an improvement over CO2, but perceived barriers to implementing these refinements. Qualitative analysis of these responses revealed five themes: (a) financial constraints; (b) institutional culture; (c) regulatory constraints; (d) research constraints; and (e) safety concerns. In conclusion, concerns regarding the use of CO2 often focused on the animal’s experience, but barriers to alternatives related to operational limitations. New research is now required on to how best to overcome these barriers.

Our analysis is based on a random sampling approach using real data sets from 16 published studies. We consider both the ability to find genes that meet particular statistical criteria as well as the stability of the results in the face of changing levels of replication.<p> <p>RESULTS:<br> While dependent on the data source, our findings suggest that stable results are typically not obtained until at least five biological replicates have been used. Conversely, for most studies, 10-15 replicates yield results that are quite stable, and there is less improvement in stability as the number of replicates is further increased. Our methods will be of use in evaluating existing data sets and in helping to design new studies.<p>
