The trajectory data and codes were generated for our work "Classification of complex local environments in systems of particle shapes through shape-symmetry encoded data augmentation" (amidst peer review process). The data sets contain trajectory data in GSD file format for 7 test systems, including cubic structures, two-dimensional and three-dimensional patchy particle shape systems, hexagonal bipyramids with two aspect ratios, and truncated shapes with two degrees of truncation. Besides, the corresponding Python code and Jupyter notebook used to perform data augmentation, MLP classifier training, and MLP classifier testing are included.
UV-visible, X-ray absorption, and X-ray emission data used to characterize the dynamics of methyl cobalamin at low pH, so called "base off" configuration. Details of data collection and reduction are provided in the associated manuscript. Data files are all text files which contain tab-delimited columns of data corresponding to each figure in the manuscript

Snake venom research has historically focused on front-fanged species (Viperidae and Elapidae), limiting our knowledge of venom evolution in rear-fanged snakes across their ecologically-diverse phylogeny. Three finger toxins (3FTxs) are a known neurotoxic component in the venoms of some rear-fanged snakes (Colubrinae, Colubridae), but it is unclear how prevalent 3FTxs are both in expression within venom glands and more broadly among colubrine species. Here, we used a transcriptomic approach to characterize the venom expression profiles of four species of colubrine snakes from Neotropics that were dominated by 3FTx expression (in the genera Chironius, Oxybelis, Rhinobothryum, and Spilotes) and reconstructed the gene trees of 3FTxs. Overall, our results highlight the importance of exploring the venoms of understudied species in reconstructing the full evolutionary history of toxins across the tree of life.

We developed a new model framework based on WRF-Chem, simulating primary biological aerosol particle emissions and their interaction with clouds. We have designed different sensitivity tests to evaluate the effects of pollen and sub-pollen particles (SPPs), respectively. Our results show that SPPs have a larger effect on cloud microphysics and precipitation than whole pollen grains.
This dataset is part of a research project that aims to study how functional traits shape species ecological strategies at the seedling stage in four tropical forests in Colombia. Nine traits related to storage (i.e., axial, radial and total parenchyma fractions), mechanics (i.e., wood density, fiber fractions and wall thickness) and hydraulics (i.e., vessel lumen diameter, vessel fractions, and pit size) were measured.
