Supplemental shapefiles of mapped thaw slumps and deep-seated permafrost failures associated with "Recent intensification (2004-2020) of permafrost mass-wasting in the central Mackenzie Valley foothills is a legacy of past forest fire disturbances"

This is a dataset associated with the article, "Zhuangzi and Laozi: an Intertextual Approach", and published in the Dao Companion to Zhuangzi.

A subset of the Massive Auditory Lexical Decision stimuli. They are represented as sequences of MFCCs with delta and delta-delta coefficients. There are also associated label files so that the data can be used for machine learning purposes, though they are force-aligned labels and not hand-corrected labels. Designed for use during the deep learning workshop at the Morphological Processing 2019 conference in Tübingen, Germany. If you use this data set in your research, please make sure you cite the original MALD paper in addition to this data set: https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-018-1056-1

Low back pain is a common presentation to emergency departments, but the reasons why people choose to attend the emergency department have not been explored. We aimed to fill this gap with this study to understand why persons with low back pain choose to attend the emergency department.

Sponges perceive and respond to a range of stimuli. How they do this is still difficult to pin down despite now having transcriptomes and genomes of an array of species. Here we evaluate the current understanding of sponge behaviour and present new observations on sponge activity in situ. We also explore biosynthesis pathways available to sponges from data in genomes/transcriptomes of sponges and other non-bilaterians with a focus on exploring the role of chemical signalling pathways mediating sponge behaviour and how such chemical signal pathways may have evolved. Sponge larvae respond to light but opsins are not used, nor is there a common photoreceptor molecule or mechanism used across sponge groups. Other cues are gravity and chemicals. In situ recordings of behaviour show that both shallow and deep-water sponges move a lot over minutes and hours, and correlation of behaviour with temperature, pressure, oxygen and water movement suggests that at least one sponge responds to changes in atmospheric pressure. The sensors for these cues as far as we know are individual cells and, except in the case of electrical signalling in Hexactinellida, these most likely act as independent effectors, generating a whole-body reaction by the global reach of the stimulus to all parts of the animal. We found no evidence for use of conventional neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Intriguingly, some chemicals synthesized by symbiont microbes could mean other more complex signalling occurs, but how that interplay might happen is not understood. Our review suggests chemical signalling pathways found in sponges do not reflect loss of a more complex set.
