The effects of spring versus summer heat events on two arid zone plant species under field conditions
No full textThis dataset contains raw data for Milner, K.V., French, K., Krix, D.W., Valenzuela, S.M., and Leigh. A. (2023) The effects of spring versus summer heat events on two arid zone plant species under field conditions. Plant Functional Biology. We addressed the following questions: 1) Is a spring or summer heat stress event more detrimental to growth and fitness outcomes for desert plants? 2) How does nutrient availability influence downstream effects of heat stress? To address these questions we applied spring or summer heat stress to two Australian arid zone Solanum species grown under two nutrient treatments and followed plants through to fruiting. Briefly, plants exposed to a summer heat stress event faired more poorly than plants exposed to spring heat stress, however outcomes for reproductive fitness were species specific. This experiment used a fixed, four-factor design, each factor with two levels. The heat stress event was the level of replication; therefore the sample size was four (except where specified). Visible damage and survival were analysed using binomial logistic regression. ANOVA with Type II sums of squares using ‘lm’ function was applied to all other variables (leaf temperature, damage to PSII, membrane stability, LMA, growth rate, flower and fruit number, stem to leaf, flower or fruit to aboveground biomass ratios, leaf protein). Transformations were made where required to meet assumptions of analyses. Models were simplified by removal of non-significant interactions using and AIC values using ‘drop1’ function of ‘car’ package. Where there were significant interactions, Tukey HSD in ‘emmeans’ package was applied.For more information see Milner et al. (2023) and steps to reproduce

Hilton-Milner theorem for -multisets
No full textLet and . A -multiset in is a -set whose elements are integers from , and each element is allowed to have at most repetitions. A family of -multisets in is said to be intersecting if every pair of -multisets from the family have non-empty intersection. In this paper, we give the size and structure of the largest non-trivial intersecting family of -multisets in for . In the special case when , our result gives rise to an unbounded multiset version for Hilton-Milner Theorem given by Meagher and Purdy. Furthermore, our main theorem unites the statements of the Hilton-Milner Theorem for finite sets and unbounded multisets.14 page

A Suite of Spatially Correlated Random Fields of Earthquake Ground Motion in Terms of 1-second Spectral Acceleration Response
No full text
Recent earthquake ground motion prediction equations generally treat the earthquake ground motion field as random, conditioned on a few parameters. These givens mostly include earthquake magnitude, fault rupture mechanism, seismic domain (meaning plate boundary or shield), and spatially varying site conditions such as average shearwave velocity in the upper 30 meters of soil. The ground motion field exhibits spatial correlation: places that are closer together tend to have more similar motion. That spatial correlation can matter to the probability distribution of the aggregate monetary or non-monetary loss experienced by a portfolio of assets, especially if high-value assets can be located within a few kilometers of each other. In a related work (Porter et al. submitted 2023), we estimated the probability distribution of portfolio loss in earthquakes, and therefore wanted to account for the spatial correlation in ground motion. To do so, we generated 100 realizations of a spatially correlated field of standard normal random variates, square, 800 km by 800 km, at 1 km grid spacing each way. Spatial correlation reflects that of 5%-damped, 1-second spectral acceleration response, using the spatial correlation coefficient recommended by Jayaram and Baker (2009). The present work offers those 100 simulated random fields in the form of 100 comma-separated value (CSV) files. See the readme file included with the CSV files for details, including the full bibliographic reference for Jayaram and Baker (2009). Here is the reference for Porter et al.

The use of modern technology in teacher education: Are we ready?
No full textWebcast sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and hosted by the Faculty of Education CREATE series. This hands-on presentation will discuss and showcase opportunities for effective use of technology-enhanced pedagogies in teacher education, as well as K-12 Mathematics and Science classrooms. We will focus on electronic-response systems (or clickers) and discuss how they can be implemented in K-12 classrooms and in teacher education. We will also brainstorm opportunities for bridging the gap between educational research teaching practice through creating research-informed resources for technology-enhanced teaching. We will showcase our new initiative “Mathematics and Science Teaching and Learning through Technologies” project, supported by the Faculty of Education and Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (http://scienceres-edcp-educ.sites.olt.ubc.ca/ ).

Structure motivator: a tool for exploring small three-dimensional elements in proteins
No full text<br>Background:
Protein structures incorporate characteristic three-dimensional elements defined by some or all of hydrogen bonding, dihedral angles and amino acid sequence. The software application, Structure Motivator, allows interactive exploration and analysis of such elements, and their resolution into sub-classes.</br>
<br>Results:
Structure Motivator is a standalone application with an embedded relational database of proteins that, as a starting point, can furnish the user with a palette of unclassified small peptides or a choice of pre-classified structural motifs. Alternatively the application accepts files of data generated externally. After loading, the structural elements are displayed as two-dimensional plots of dihedral angles (φ/ψ, φ/χ1 or in combination) for each residue, with visualization options to allow the conformation or amino acid composition at one residue to be viewed in the context of that at other residues. Interactive selections may then be made and structural subsets saved to file for further sub-classification or external analysis. The application has been applied both to classical motifs, such as the β-turn, and ‘non-motif’ structural elements, such as specific segments of helices.</br>
<br>Conclusions:
Structure Motivator allows structural biologists, whether or not they possess computational skills, to subject small structural elements in proteins to rapid interactive analysis that would otherwise require complex programming or database queries. Within a broad group of structural motifs, it facilitates the identification and separation of sub-classes with distinct stereochemical properties.</br>
A Hilton-Milner theorem for vector spaces
No full textWe show for k = 2 that if q = 3 and n = 2k + 1, or q = 2 and n = 2k + 2, then any intersecting family F of k-subspaces of an n-dimensional vector space over GF(q) with nF¿F F = 0 has size at most (formula). This bound is sharp as is shown by Hilton-Milner type families. As an application of this result, we determine the chromatic number of the corresponding q-Kneser graphs
