TwitterThis data set, spanning the period 1980-2008, is assembled from (1) interpolation of observed monthly totals from available station records with bias adjustments (2) disaggregation of the monthly totals to daily totals, making use of daily precipitation forecasts from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis [Kalnay et al., 1996]. Station records from 1990 onwards are considered to be too sparse to assemble gridded products using this approach. A daily product from 1980 through the present is described separately (DAILY PRECIPITATION FROM STATISTICAL RECONSTRUCTIONS). This latter product, which is continually updated, makes use of a suite of variables from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis. The data are presented in 24 sub-datasets of different spatial and temporal aggregations.

Full Description This dataset contains aggregate data concerning the number of unique children placed in open DCF placements at a single point in time - July 1st of each State Fiscal Year. These figures are disaggregated by Region, Gender, whether placement is in or out-of-state, and by the Type of Placement in which the child is residing on the observation date. The 'Other' Region category includes all cases that are not being served by a Regional DCF Office. This includes cases being served as/by Aftercare, General Administration, Treatment Services, Special Investigations Unit, DCF Hotline, or cases that have not been assigned to a DCF Regional office as of the date of observation. Note: Not every combination of filters will have values. CTData also carries this data disaggregated by Racial and Ethnic Groups and by Age Group.

Major differences from previous work: For level 2 catch: Catches in tons, raised to match nominal values, now consider the geographic area of the nominal data for improved accuracy. Captures in "Number of fish" are converted to weight based on nominal data. The conversion factors used in the previous version are no longer used, as they did not adequately represent the diversity of captures. Number of fish without corresponding data in nominal are not removed as they were before, creating a huge difference for this measurement_unit between the two datasets. Nominal data from WCPFC includes fishing fleet information, and georeferenced data has been raised based on this instead of solely on the triplet year/gear/species, to avoid random reallocations. Strata for which catches in tons are raised to match nominal data have had their numbers removed. Raising only applies to complete years to avoid overrepresenting specific months, particularly in the early years of georeferenced reporting. Strata where georeferenced data exceed nominal data have not been adjusted downward, as it is unclear if these discrepancies arise from missing nominal data or different aggregation methods in both datasets. The data is not aggregated to 5-degree squares and thus remains unharmonized spatially. Aggregation can be performed using CWP codes for geographic identifiers. For example, an R function is available: source("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/firms-gta/geoflow-tunaatlas/master/sardara_functions/transform_cwp_code_from_1deg_to_5deg.R") Level 0 dataset has been modified creating differences in this new version notably : The species retained are different; only 32 major species are kept. Mappings have been somewhat modified based on new standards implemented by FIRMS. New rules have been applied for overlapping areas. Data is only displayed in 1 degrees square area and 5 degrees square areas. The data is enriched with "Species group", "Gear labels" using the fdiwg standards. These main differences are recapped in the Differences_v2018_v2024.zip Recommendations: To avoid converting data from number using nominal stratas, we recommend the use of conversion factors which could be provided by tRFMOs. In some strata, nominal data appears higher than georeferenced data, as observed during level 2 processing. These discrepancies may result from errors or differences in aggregation methods. Further analysis will examine these differences in detail to refine treatments accordingly. A summary of differences by tRFMOs, based on the number of strata, is included in the appendix. Some nominal data have no equivalent in georeferenced data and therefore cannot be disaggregated. What could be done is to check for each nominal data without equivalence if a georeferenced data exists in different buffers, and to average the distribution of this footprint. Then, disaggregate the nominal data based on the georeferenced data. This would lead to the creation of data (approximately 3%), and would necessitate reducing/removing all georeferenced data without a nominal equivalent or with a lesser equivalent. Tests are currently being conducted with and without this. It would help improve the biomass captured footprint but could lead to unexpected discrepancies with current datasets. For level 0 effort : In some datasets—namely those from ICCAT and the purse seine (PS) data from WCPFC— same effort data has been reported multiple times by using different units which have been kept as is, since no official mapping allows conversion between these units. As a result, users have be remind that some ICCAT and WCPFC effort data are deliberately duplicated : in the case of ICCAT data, lines with identical strata but different effort units are duplicates reporting the same fishing activity with different measurement units. It is indeed not possible to infer strict equivalence between units, as some contain information about others (e.g., Hours.FAD and Hours.FSC may inform Hours.STD). in the case of WCPFC data, effort records were also kept in all originally reported units. Here, duplicates do not necessarily share the same “fishing_mode”, as SETS for purse seiners are reported with an explicit association to fishing_mode, while DAYS are not. This distinction allows SETS records to be separated by fishing mode, whereas DAYS records remain aggregated. Some limited harmonization—particularly between units such as NET-days and Nets—has not been implemented in the current version of the dataset, but may be considered in future releases if a consistent relationship can be established.

Under many aqueous conditions, metal oxide nanoparticles attract other nanoparticles and grow into fractal aggregates as the result of a balance between electrostatic and Van Der Waals interactions. Although particle coagulation has been studied for over a century, the effect of light on the state of aggregation is not well understood. Since nanoparticle mobility and toxicity have been shown to be a function of aggregate size, and generally increase as size decreases, photo-induced disaggregation may have significant effects. We show that ambient light and other light sources can partially disaggregate nanoparticles from the aggregates and increase the dermal transport of nanoparticles, such that small nanoparticle clusters can readily diffuse into and through the dermal profile, likely via the interstitial spaces. The discovery of photoinduced disaggregation presents a new phenomenon that has not been previously reported or considered in coagulation theory or transdermal toxicological paradigms. Our results show that after just a few minutes of light, the hydrodynamic diameter of TiO2 aggregates is reduced from ∼280 nm to ∼230 nm. We exposed pigskin to the nanoparticle suspension and found 200 mg kg−1 of TiO2 for skin that was exposed to nanoparticles in the presence of natural sunlight and only 75 mg kg−1 for skin exposed to dark conditions, indicating the influence of light on NP penetration. These results suggest that photoinduced disaggregation may have important health implications.

TwitterAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of age-related dementia, and the most urgent problem is that it is currently incurable. Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide is believed to play a major role in the pathogenesis of AD. We previously reported that an Aβ N-terminal amino acid targeting monoclonal antibody (MAb), A8, inhibits Aβ fibril formation and has potential as an immunotherapy for AD based on a mouse model. To further study the underlying mechanisms, we tested our hypothesis that the single chain fragment variable (scFv) without the Fc fragment is capable of regulating either Aβ aggregation or disaggregation in vitro. Here, a model of cell-free Aβ “on-pathway” aggregation was established and identified using PCR, Western blot, ELISA, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thioflavin T (ThT) binding analyses. His-tagged A8 scFvs was cloned and solubly expressed in baculovirus. Our data demonstrated that the Ni-NTA agarose affinity-purified A8 scFv inhibited the forward reaction of “on-pathway” aggregation and Aβ fibril maturation. The effect of A8 scFv on Aβ fibrillogenesis was markedly more significant when administered at the start of the Aβ folding reaction. Furthermore, the results also showed that pre-formed Aβ fibrils could be disaggregated via incubation with purified A8 scFv, which suggested that A8 scFv is involved in the reverse reaction of Aβ aggregation. Therefore, A8 scFv was capable of both inhibiting fibrillogenesis and disaggregating matured fibrils. Our present study provides valuable insight into the regulators of ultrastructural dynamics of cell-free “on-pathway” Aβ aggregation and will assist in the development of therapeutic strategies for AD.

Red blood cells (RBCs) clump together under low flow conditions in a process called RBC aggregation, which can alter RBC perfusion in a microvascular network. As elevated RBC aggregation is commonly associated with cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases, a better understanding of aggregation is essential. Unlike RBC aggregation in polymer solutions which can be well explained by polymer depletion theory, plasma-mediated RBC aggregation has features that best match explanations with cross-bridging mechanisms. Previous studies have demonstrated the dominant role of fibrinogen (Fg) in promoting aggregate formation and recent cell-force spectroscopy (CFS) experiments on interacting RBC doublets in plasma have reported an inverse relationship between disaggregation force and the adhesive contact area between RBCs. This has led investigators to revisit the hypothesis of inter-RBC cross-bridging which involves cross-bridge migration under interfacial tension during the forced disaggregation of RBC aggregates. In this study, we developed the cross-bridge migration model (CBMM) in plasma that mechanistically represents the migrating cross-bridge hypothesis. Transport of mobile Fg cross-bridges (mFg) was calculated using a convection-diffusion transport equation with our novel introduction of convective cross-bridge drift that arises due to intercellular friction. By parametrically transforming the diffusivity of mFg in the CBMM, we were able to match experimental observations of both RBC doublet formation kinematics and RBC doublet disaggregation forces under optical tweezers tension. We found that non-specific cross-bridging promotes spontaneous growth of adhesion area between RBC doublets whereas specific cross-bridging tends to prevent adhesion area growth. Our CBMM was also able to correlate Fg concentration shifts from healthy population blood plasma to SLE (lupus) condition blood plasma with the observed increase in doublet disaggregation forces for the RBC doublets in SLE plasma.

TwitterModern slavery is a term that includes any form of human trafficking, slavery, servitude or forced labour, as set out in the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Potential victims of modern slavery in the UK that come to the attention of authorised ‘First Responder’ organisations are referred to the National Referral Mechanism (NRM).
Adults (aged 18 or above) must consent to being referred to the NRM, whilst children under the age of 18 need not consent to being referred. As specified in section 52 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015, public authorities in England and Wales have a statutory duty to notify the Home Office when they come across potential victims of modern slavery ('Duty to Notify' (DtN)). This duty is discharged by either referring a child or consenting adult potential victim into the NRM, or by notifying the Home Office via the DtN process if an adult victim does not consent to enter the NRM.
The Home Office publishes quarterly statistical bulletins and aggregated data breakdowns on the "https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-referral-mechanism-statistics" target="_blank"> National Referral Mechanism webpage on the GOV.UK website regarding the number of potential victims referred each quarter. To allow stakeholders and first responders more flexibility in analysing this data for their own strategic and operational planning, the disaggregated, pseudonymised dataset used to create the aggregated published data is also available from the UK Data Service as 'safeguarded' data. (The UKDS data are available in SPSS, Stata, tab-delimited text and CSV formats.)
Latest edition information
For the 18th edition (November 2025), the data file was amended to include Quarter 3 2025 cases, and the Data Notes documentation file was also updated.

The new scorecard tracks progress toward the World Bank Group's vision to create a world free of poverty on a livable planet. The Scorecard includes three types of indicators: - Vision indicators - reflect the new vision for the WBG, showing the WBG’s ambition and providing high-level measures to gauge the direction and pace of progress in tackling global challenges. Vision indicators contain aggregated and disaggregated development context data for all countries in the world, where data is available. The Scorecard reports the latest available global updates for each of these indicators. - Client context indicators - reflect the circumstances in client countries, including multidimensional aspects of poverty, and are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They serve to frame the challenges clients face, and the context in which the WBG operates. Client Context indicators contain aggregated and disaggregated development context data for World Bank client countries, based on country eligibility for financing and where data is available. The Scorecard also reports the latest available update for each of these indicators. - WBG Results indicators monitor WBG progress on some of the most critical global challenges. Results data include: - Active Portfolio Results: Contain achieved and expected results of WBG operations based on its active portfolio as of end of June 2024. Includes aggregated and disaggregated data. - Results achieved since July 1st, 2023: Contain cumulative results achieved between July 1st, 2023 - June 30, 2024 from active and closed projects. Results achieved before July 1st, 2023 are excluded from this calculation. Includes aggregated data for World Bank, IBRD and IDA only. IFC and MIGA do not currently report this data. - Operations Details: Operation-level detail is provided for World Bank projects. However, in alignment with IFC and MIGA Access to Information Policies, project-level data is available in an aggregated format on the WBG Scorecard, provided the minimum threshold to secure individual clients' data is satisfied. This collection includes only a subset of indicators from the source dataset.

Abstract: The main objective of this study is to estimate variables related to transportation planning, in particular transit trip production, by proposing a geostatistical procedure. The procedure combines the semivariogram deconvolution and Kriging with External Drift (KED). The method consists of initially assuming a disaggregated systematic sample from aggregate data. Subsequently, KED was applied to estimate the primary variable, considering the population as a secondary input. This research assesses two types of information related to the city of Salvador (Bahia, Brazil): an origin-destination dataset based on a home-interview survey carried out in 1995 and the 2010 census data. Besides standing out for the application of Geostatistics in the field of transportation planning, this paper introduces the concepts of semivariogram deconvolution applied to aggregated travel data. Thus far these aspects have not been explored in the research area. In this way, this paper mainly presents three contributions: 1) estimating urban travel data in unsampled spatial locations; 2) obtaining the values of the variable of interest deriving out of other variables; and 3) introducing a simple semivariogram deconvolution procedure, considering that disaggregated data are not available to maintain the confidentiality of individual data.

TwitterThis data set, spanning the period 1980-2008, is assembled from (1) interpolation of observed monthly totals from available station records with bias adjustments (2) disaggregation of the monthly totals to daily totals, making use of daily precipitation forecasts from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) reanalysis [Kalnay et al., 1996]. Station records from 1990 onwards are considered to be too sparse to assemble gridded products using this approach. A daily product from 1980 through the present is described separately (DAILY PRECIPITATION FROM STATISTICAL RECONSTRUCTIONS). This latter product, which is continually updated, makes use of a suite of variables from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis. The data are presented in 24 sub-datasets of different spatial and temporal aggregations.
