Compilation of whole-rock chemical data for samples in Appendix Table A1 (metasedimentary samples from the Goldenville and Halifax groups, Meguma terrane, Nova Scotia)
No full textThis Excel file is the supplementary data file that accompanied the publication for which the full citation is given below. As a result of new geological mapping, the Goldenville and Halifax groups in the eastern Meguma terrane have been divided into formations. They have a total stratigraphic thickness of about 7750 m and correspond to only the upper half of the Goldenville Group and lower half of the Halifax Group in the northwestern and southeastern areas of the terrane. The revised stratigraphy combined with compiled and new whole-rock major and trace element and Sm–Nd isotopic analyses enable more detailed documentation of the chemical changes with stratigraphy that were demonstrated in previous studies. Based on chemical compositions, the protolith compositions of the analysed samples range from lithic arenite to wacke to shale. Major and trace element characteristics are consistent with deposition in an active continental margin, basins associated with island arcs, or most likely at a passive continental margin with volcanic rocks in the source area. Chemical compositions show a scattered but overall increasing abundance of lithophile elements such as La and Th with stratigraphic position. Epsilon Nd(t) values become increasingly negative up-section, and depleted mantle model ages become increasingly older. The data are consistent with increased mixing between sediments derived from Mesoproterozoic upper crustal sources and sediments derived from a magmatic arc. These data are consistent with published detrital zircon patterns which show increasing amounts of ca. 2 Ga zircon with decreasing age, and with a source area comprising a Pan-African (800–540 Ma) volcanic arc and/or active margin magmatism and mainly Eburnean crust, most likely in the West African craton

Supplementary Data Table S1 (Excel) to accompany “Petrography, geochemistry, age, and stratigraphic significance of the Mississippian Boyd Creek tuff, southern New Brunswick, Canada” (Park et al., 2024)
No full textThis file is the supplementary data that accompanies the publication for which the full citation is given below. The Boyd Creek tuff consists of two pyroclastic flow deposits and more widespread air-fall tuff within a Mississippian red bed sequence located in outcrop and boreholes around Weldon and Pre d’en Haut, Albert and Westmorland counties, New Brunswick. Long recognized as an important stratigraphic marker, it has been placed in either the Tournaisian Weldon Formation or Visean Hillsborough Formation by previous workers, with a position in the upper Tournaisian Weldon Formation being the most recent interpretation. A Visean laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry U–Pb zircon age of 336.9 ± 2.0 Ma is consistent with the interpretation that the tuff is part of the Windsor Group and within a fine-grained red and grey sequence of the Hillsborough Formation. Although the tuff is altered and contains abundant xenoliths and xenocrysts, petrography and chemistry are consistent with rhyolite or dacite composition. Its composition and age suggest that the Boyd Creek tuff is one of several volcanic units interpreted to be in the Windsor Group or its temporal equivalents, including rhyolite-trachyte lavas of Cumberland Hill (Cumberland Hill Formation, Mabou Group), tuff in carbonate-evaporite sequence at the Picadilly Mine (Penobsquis), and the red bed Shin Formation (Mabou Group) at Hurley Creek near Minto. Locating and dating other ‘ash beds’ in the Windsor Group offers a way to resolve long-standing issues of correlation in the Visean of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
Crack Roboflow DTI UNB
No full textThe dataset is designed for instance segmentation tasks related to detecting cracks in concrete structure inspection. It is a valuable resource for training CNNs to identify and segment cracks in various surfaces accurately.
It was assembled from three different sources:
1. The platform Roboflow-Universe developed by Dwyer et al (2022): We used the Roboflow-Universe-Crack (RUC) dataset (Nadar, 2022) with a total of 1551 samples.
2. The archives of the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DTI) from New Brunswick: We picked 540 original crack images, each of which underwent annotation using the CVAT annotation tool (Sekachev et al., 2020), ensuring precision and uniformity of labelling.
3. The Crack500 dataset (Yang et al., 2020; Zhang et al., 2016) We re-annotated and used 56 samples
SFR-100 Model Code and Results
No full textThis dataset includes the code required to generate the SFR-100 model in OpenMC as well as the results from the simulations described in the thesis entitled "An OpenMC Model for a 100 MWe Sodium Fast Reactor with Gas Expansion Modules for Additional Passive Safety." The purpose of including the code is to allow for future simulations to be performed and for manipulations to be made to the model
Metal-Organic Frameworks as Anchors for Giant Unilamellar Vesicle Immobilization
No full textRaw Data for: Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUVs) are ideal for studying cellular mechanisms due to their cell-mimicking morphology and size. The formation, stability, and immobilization of these vesicles are crucial for drug delivery and bioimaging studies. Separately, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are actively researched owing to their unique and varied properties, yet little is known about the interaction between MOFs and phospholipids. This study investigates the influence of the metal-phosphate interface on the formation, size distribution, and stability of GUVs with different lipid compositions. GUVs were electroformed in the presence of a series of MOFs. The results show Al, Zn, Cu, Fe, Zr, and Ca metal centers of MOFs can coordinate to phospholipids on the surface of GUVs, leading to the formation of functional GUV@MOF constructs, with stablilities over 12 hours. Macroscopically, society has seen biology (people, plants, microbes) interacting with inorganic materials all the time. We now explore how microscopic biological models behave in the presence of inorganic constructs. This research opens new avenues for advanced biomedical applications interacting tailored frameworks with liposomes
Roof Types Dataset
No full textThe roof-type dataset includes 2224 samples of high-resolution RGB optical images of roofs alongside their elevation (DSM) data. This comprehensive dataset encompasses nine common roof types: Flat, Gable, Hip, Cross-Hip, Gable-Flat, Gambrel, Cross-Gable, Dutch-Gable, and Pyramid-Hip.
The dataset has been structured into three parts, namely training, testing, and validation sets. The training set was created using buildings located in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, while the test and validation sets were generated based on buildings in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.
To ensure the highest level of accuracy for CNN-based classification, the training set was augmented to make 1000 samples for each class.

Transition Housing
No full textAwarded 1st Place in the 2023 Off-site Construction Student Design Competition, presented by Off-Site Construction Research Centre (OCRC) at the University of New Brunswick.
Our project is dedicated to revolutionizing the concept of transitional housing for youth leaving the child welfare system. It goes beyond traditional social housing models, offering these young individuals a nurturing space to grow and thrive. In our housing clusters, individuals from diverse backgrounds come together, forming a vibrant and inclusive community that fosters social interaction. At the core of our initiative lies the creation of a social atmosphere, allowing residents to connect, support one another, and serve as positive role models, particularly for teenagers who often lack such influences. We’re committed to addressing the challenge of transitional housing while avoiding the institutional feel commonly associated with social housing. Acknowledging the unique hurdles faced by those leaving the child welfare system in finding stable homes, our modular units are designed to form larger, interconnected communities. These communities seamlessly integrate essential resources, facilitated through home-based business spaces within the individual modules, enhancing the overall quality of life for the residents
