This article describes a free, open-source collection of templates for the popular Excel (2013, and later versions) spreadsheet program. These templates are spreadsheet files that allow easy and intuitive learning and the implementation of practical examples concerning descriptive statistics, random variables, confidence intervals, and hypothesis testing. Although they are designed to be used with Excel, they can also be employed with other free spreadsheet programs (changing some particular formulas). Moreover, we exploit some possibilities of the ActiveX controls of the Excel Developer Menu to perform interactive Gaussian density charts. Finally, it is important to note that they can be often embedded in a web page, so it is not necessary to employ Excel software for their use. These templates have been designed as a useful tool to teach basic statistics and to carry out data analysis even when the students are not familiar with Excel. Additionally, they can be used as a complement to other analytical software packages. They aim to assist students in learning statistics, within an intuitive working environment. Supplementary materials with the Excel templates are available online.

Abstract

The documentation covers Enterprise Survey panel datasets that were collected in Slovenia in 2009, 2013 and 2019.

The Slovenia ES 2009 was conducted between 2008 and 2009. The Slovenia ES 2013 was conducted between March 2013 and September 2013. Finally, the Slovenia ES 2019 was conducted between December 2018 and November 2019. The objective of the Enterprise Survey is to gain an understanding of what firms experience in the private sector.

As part of its strategic goal of building a climate for investment, job creation, and sustainable growth, the World Bank has promoted improving the business environment as a key strategy for development, which has led to a systematic effort in collecting enterprise data across countries. The Enterprise Surveys (ES) are an ongoing World Bank project in collecting both objective data based on firms' experiences and enterprises' perception of the environment in which they operate.

Geographic coverage

National

Analysis unit

The primary sampling unit of the study is the establishment. An establishment is a physical location where business is carried out and where industrial operations take place or services are provided. A firm may be composed of one or more establishments. For example, a brewery may have several bottling plants and several establishments for distribution. For the purposes of this survey an establishment must take its own financial decisions and have its own financial statements separate from those of the firm. An establishment must also have its own management and control over its payroll.

Universe

As it is standard for the ES, the Slovenia ES was based on the following size stratification: small (5 to 19 employees), medium (20 to 99 employees), and large (100 or more employees).

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

The sample for Slovenia ES 2009, 2013, 2019 were selected using stratified random sampling, following the methodology explained in the Sampling Manual for Slovenia 2009 ES and for Slovenia 2013 ES, and in the Sampling Note for 2019 Slovenia ES.

Three levels of stratification were used in this country: industry, establishment size, and oblast (region). The original sample designs with specific information of the industries and regions chosen are included in the attached Excel file (Sampling Report.xls.) for Slovenia 2009 ES. For Slovenia 2013 and 2019 ES, specific information of the industries and regions chosen is described in the "The Slovenia 2013 Enterprise Surveys Data Set" and "The Slovenia 2019 Enterprise Surveys Data Set" reports respectively, Appendix E.

For the Slovenia 2009 ES, industry stratification was designed in the way that follows: the universe was stratified into manufacturing industries, services industries, and one residual (core) sector as defined in the sampling manual. Each industry had a target of 90 interviews. For the manufacturing industries sample sizes were inflated by about 17% to account for potential non-response cases when requesting sensitive financial data and also because of likely attrition in future surveys that would affect the construction of a panel. For the other industries (residuals) sample sizes were inflated by about 12% to account for under sampling in firms in service industries.

For Slovenia 2013 ES, industry stratification was designed in the way that follows: the universe was stratified into one manufacturing industry, and two service industries (retail, and other services).

Finally, for Slovenia 2019 ES, three levels of stratification were used in this country: industry, establishment size, and region. The original sample design with specific information of the industries and regions chosen is described in "The Slovenia 2019 Enterprise Surveys Data Set" report, Appendix C. Industry stratification was done as follows: Manufacturing – combining all the relevant activities (ISIC Rev. 4.0 codes 10-33), Retail (ISIC 47), and Other Services (ISIC 41-43, 45, 46, 49-53, 55, 56, 58, 61, 62, 79, 95).

For Slovenia 2009 and 2013 ES, size stratification was defined following the standardized definition for the rollout: small (5 to 19 employees), medium (20 to 99 employees), and large (more than 99 employees). For stratification purposes, the number of employees was defined on the basis of reported permanent full-time workers. This seems to be an appropriate definition of the labor force since seasonal/casual/part-time employment is not a common practice, except in the sectors of construction and agriculture.

For Slovenia 2009 ES, regional stratification was defined in 2 regions. These regions are Vzhodna Slovenija and Zahodna Slovenija. The Slovenia sample contains panel data. The wave 1 panel “Investment Climate Private Enterprise Survey implemented in Slovenia” consisted of 223 establishments interviewed in 2005. A total of 57 establishments have been re-interviewed in the 2008 Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey.

For Slovenia 2013 ES, regional stratification was defined in 2 regions (city and the surrounding business area) throughout Slovenia.

Finally, for Slovenia 2019 ES, regional stratification was done across two regions: Eastern Slovenia (NUTS code SI03) and Western Slovenia (SI04).

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument

Questionnaires have common questions (core module) and respectfully additional manufacturing- and services-specific questions. The eligible manufacturing industries have been surveyed using the Manufacturing questionnaire (includes the core module, plus manufacturing specific questions). Retail firms have been interviewed using the Services questionnaire (includes the core module plus retail specific questions) and the residual eligible services have been covered using the Services questionnaire (includes the core module). Each variation of the questionnaire is identified by the index variable, a0.

Response rate

Survey non-response must be differentiated from item non-response. The former refers to refusals to participate in the survey altogether whereas the latter refers to the refusals to answer some specific questions. Enterprise Surveys suffer from both problems and different strategies were used to address these issues.

Item non-response was addressed by two strategies: a- For sensitive questions that may generate negative reactions from the respondent, such as corruption or tax evasion, enumerators were instructed to collect the refusal to respond as (-8). b- Establishments with incomplete information were re-contacted in order to complete this information, whenever necessary. However, there were clear cases of low response.

For 2009 and 2013 Slovenia ES, the survey non-response was addressed by maximizing efforts to contact establishments that were initially selected for interview. Up to 4 attempts were made to contact the establishment for interview at different times/days of the week before a replacement establishment (with similar strata characteristics) was suggested for interview. Survey non-response did occur but substitutions were made in order to potentially achieve strata-specific goals. Further research is needed on survey non-response in the Enterprise Surveys regarding potential introduction of bias.

For 2009, the number of contacted establishments per realized interview was 6.18. This number is the result of two factors: explicit refusals to participate in the survey, as reflected by the rate of rejection (which includes rejections of the screener and the main survey) and the quality of the sample frame, as represented by the presence of ineligible units. The relatively low ratio of contacted establishments per realized interview (6.18) suggests that the main source of error in estimates in the Slovenia may be selection bias and not frame inaccuracy.

For 2013, the number of realized interviews per contacted establishment was 25%. This number is the result of two factors: explicit refusals to participate in the survey, as reflected by the rate of rejection (which includes rejections of the screener and the main survey) and the quality of the sample frame, as represented by the presence of ineligible units. The number of rejections per contact was 44%.

Finally, for 2019, the number of interviews per contacted establishments was 9.7%. This number is the result of two factors: explicit refusals to participate in the survey, as reflected by the rate of rejection (which includes rejections of the screener and the main survey) and the quality of the sample frame, as represented by the presence of ineligible units. The share of rejections per contact was 75.2%.

Dataset Overview: This dataset pertains to the examination results of students who participated in a series of academic assessments at a fictitious educational institution named "University of Exampleville." The assessments were administered across various courses and academic levels, with a focus on evaluating students' performance in general management and domain-specific topics.

Columns: The dataset comprises 12 columns, each representing specific attributes and performance indicators of the students. These columns encompass information such as the students' names (which have been anonymized), their respective universities, academic program names (including BBA and MBA), specializations, the semester of the assessment, the type of examination domain (general management or domain-specific), general management scores (out of 50), domain-specific scores (out of 50), total scores (out of 100), student ranks, and percentiles.

Data Collection: The examination data was collected during a standardized assessment process conducted by the University of Exampleville. The exams were designed to assess students' knowledge and skills in general management and their chosen domain-specific subjects. It involved students from both BBA and MBA programs who were in their final year of study.

Data Format: The dataset is available in a structured format, typically as a CSV file. Each row represents a unique student's performance in the examination, while columns contain specific information about their results and academic details.

Data Usage: This dataset is valuable for analyzing and gaining insights into the academic performance of students pursuing BBA and MBA degrees. It can be used for various purposes, including statistical analysis, performance trend identification, program assessment, and comparison of scores across domains and specializations. Furthermore, it can be employed in predictive modeling or decision-making related to curriculum development and student support.

Data Quality: The dataset has undergone preprocessing and anonymization to protect the privacy of individual students. Nevertheless, it is essential to use the data responsibly and in compliance with relevant data protection regulations when conducting any analysis or research.

Data Format: The exam data is typically provided in a structured format, commonly as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file. Each row in the dataset represents a unique student's examination performance, and each column contains specific attributes and scores related to the examination. The CSV format allows for easy import and analysis using various data analysis tools and programming languages like Python, R, or spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel.

Here's a column-wise description of the dataset:

Name OF THE STUDENT: The full name of the student who took the exam. (Anonymized)

UNIVERSITY: The university where the student is enrolled.

PROGRAM NAME: The name of the academic program in which the student is enrolled (BBA or MBA).

Specialization: If applicable, the specific area of specialization or major that the student has chosen within their program.

Semester: The semester or academic term in which the student took the exam.

Domain: Indicates whether the exam was divided into two parts: general management and domain-specific.

GENERAL MANAGEMENT SCORE (OUT of 50): The score obtained by the student in the general management part of the exam, out of a maximum possible score of 50.

Domain-Specific Score (Out of 50): The score obtained by the student in the domain-specific part of the exam, also out of a maximum possible score of 50.

TOTAL SCORE (OUT of 100): The total score obtained by adding the scores from the general management and domain-specific parts, out of a maximum possible score of 100.

Note: Reporting of new COVID-19 Case Surveillance data will be discontinued July 1, 2024, to align with the process of removing SARS-CoV-2 infections (COVID-19 cases) from the list of nationally notifiable diseases. Although these data will continue to be publicly available, the dataset will no longer be updated.

Authorizations to collect certain public health data expired at the end of the U.S. public health emergency declaration on May 11, 2023. The following jurisdictions discontinued COVID-19 case notifications to CDC: Iowa (11/8/21), Kansas (5/12/23), Kentucky (1/1/24), Louisiana (10/31/23), New Hampshire (5/23/23), and Oklahoma (5/2/23). Please note that these jurisdictions will not routinely send new case data after the dates indicated. As of 7/13/23, case notifications from Oregon will only include pediatric cases resulting in death.

This case surveillance public use dataset has 12 elements for all COVID-19 cases shared with CDC and includes demographics, any exposure history, disease severity indicators and outcomes, presence of any underlying medical conditions and risk behaviors, and no geographic data.

CDC has three COVID-19 case surveillance datasets:

• COVID-19 Case Surveillance Public Use Data with Geography: Public use, patient-level dataset with clinical data (including symptoms), demographics, and county and state of residence. (19 data elements)
• COVID-19 Case Surveillance Public Use Data: Public use, patient-level dataset with clinical and symptom data and demographics, with no geographic data. (12 data elements)
• COVID-19 Case Surveillance Restricted Access Detailed Data: Restricted access, patient-level dataset with clinical and symptom data, demographics, and state and county of residence. Access requires a registration process and a data use agreement. (33 data elements)

• Data elements can be found on the COVID-19 case report form located at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/pui-form.pdf.
• Data are considered provisional by CDC and are subject to change until the data are reconciled and verified with the state and territorial data providers.
• Some data cells are suppressed to protect individual privacy.
• The datasets will include all cases with the earliest date available in each record (date received by CDC or date related to illness/specimen collection) at least 14 days prior to the creation of the current datasets. This 14-day lag allows case reporting to be stabilized and ensures that time-dependent outcome data are accurately captured.
• Datasets are updated monthly.
• Datasets are created using CDC’s Policy on Public Health Research and Nonresearch Data Management and Access and include protections designed to protect individual privacy.

Overview

The COVID-19 case surveillance database includes individual-level data reported to U.S. states and autonomous reporting entities, including New York City and the District of Columbia (D.C.), as well as U.S. territories and affiliates. On April 5, 2020, COVID-19 was added to the Nationally Notifiable Condition List and classified as “immediately notifiable, urgent (within 24 hours)” by a Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) Interim Position Statement (Interim-20-ID-01). CSTE updated the position statement on August 5, 2020, to clarify the interpretation of antigen detection tests and serologic test results within the case classification (Interim-20-ID-02). The statement also recommended that all states and territories enact laws to make COVID-19 reportable in their jurisdiction, and that jurisdictions conducting surveillance should submit case notifications to CDC. COVID-19 case surveillance data are collected by jurisdictions and reported voluntarily to CDC.

For more information: NNDSS Supports the COVID-19 Response | CDC.

The deidentified data in the “COVID-19 Case Surveillance Public Use Data” include demographic characteristics, any exposure history, disease severity indicators and outcomes, clinical data, laboratory diagnostic test results, and presence of any underlying medical conditions and risk behaviors. All data elements can be found on the COVID-19 case report form located at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/downloads/pui-form.pdf.

COVID-19 Case Reports

COVID-19 case reports have been routinely submitted using nationally standardized case reporting forms. On April 5, 2020, CSTE released an Interim Position Statement with national surveillance case definitions for COVID-19 included. Current versions of these case definitions are available here: https://ndc.services.cdc.gov/case-definitions/coronavirus-disease-2019-2021/.

All cases reported on or after were requested to be shared by public health departments to CDC using the standardized case definitions for laboratory-confirmed or probable cases. On May 5, 2020, the standardized case reporting form was revised. Case reporting using this new form is ongoing among U.S. states and territories.

Data are Considered Provisional

• The COVID-19 case surveillance data are dynamic; case reports can be modified at any time by the jurisdictions sharing COVID-19 data with CDC. CDC may update prior cases shared with CDC based on any updated information from jurisdictions. For instance, as new information is gathered about previously reported cases, health departments provide updated data to CDC. As more information and data become available, analyses might find changes in surveillance data and trends during a previously reported time window. Data may also be shared late with CDC due to the volume of COVID-19 cases.
• Annual finalized data: To create the final NNDSS data used in the annual tables, CDC works carefully with the reporting jurisdictions to reconcile the data received during the year until each state or territorial epidemiologist confirms that the data from their area are correct.
• Access Addressing Gaps in Public Health Reporting of Race and Ethnicity for COVID-19, a report from the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, to better understand the challenges in completing race and ethnicity data for COVID-19 and recommendations for improvement.

Data Limitations

Data Quality Assurance Procedures

CDC’s Case Surveillance Section routinely performs data quality assurance procedures (i.e., ongoing corrections and logic checks to address data errors). To date, the following data cleaning steps have been implemented:

• Questions that have been left unanswered (blank) on the case report form are reclassified to a Missing value, if applicable to the question. For example, in the question “Was the individual hospitalized?” where the possible answer choices include “Yes,” “No,” or “Unknown,” the blank value is recoded to Missing because the case report form did not include a response to the question.
• Logic checks are performed for date data. If an illogical date has been provided, CDC reviews the data with the reporting jurisdiction. For example, if a symptom onset date in the future is reported to CDC, this value is set to null until the reporting jurisdiction updates the date appropriately.
• Additional data quality processing to recode free text data is ongoing. Data on symptoms, race and ethnicity, and healthcare worker status have been prioritized.

Data Suppression

To prevent release of data that could be used to identify people, data cells are suppressed for low frequency (<5) records and indirect identifiers (e.g., date of first positive specimen). Suppression includes rare combinations of demographic characteristics (sex, age group, race/ethnicity). Suppressed values are re-coded to the NA answer option; records with data suppression are never removed.

For questions, please contact Ask SRRG (eocevent394@cdc.gov).

Additional COVID-19 Data

COVID-19 data are available to the public as summary or aggregate count files, including total counts of cases and deaths by state and by county. These

With this add in it is possible to create map templates from GIS files in KML format, and create choropleths with them.

Providing you have access to KML format map boundary files, it is possible to create your own quick and easy choropleth maps in Excel. The KML format files can be converted from 'shape' files. Many shape files are available to download for free from the web, including from Ordnance Survey and the London Datastore. Standard mapping packages such as QGIS (free to download) and ArcGIS can convert the files to KML format.

A sample of a KML file (London wards) can be downloaded from this page, so that users can easily test the tool out.

Macros must be enabled for the tool to function.

When creating the map using the Excel tool, the 'unique ID' should normally be the area code, the 'Name' should be the area name and then if required and there is additional data in the KML file, further 'data' fields can be added. These columns will appear below and to the right of the map. If not, data can be added later on next to the codes and names.

In the add-in version of the tool the final control, 'Scale (% window)' should not normally be changed. With the default value 0.5, the height of the map is set to be half the total size of the user's Excel window.

To run a choropleth, select the menu option 'Run Choropleth' to get this form.

To specify the colour ramp for the choropleth, the user needs to enter the number of boxes into which the range is to be divided, and the colours for the high and low ends of the range, which is done by selecting coloured option boxes as appropriate. If wished, hit the 'Swap' button to change which colours are for the different ends of the range. Then hit the 'Choropleth' button.

The default options for the colours of the ends of the choropleth colour range are saved in the add in, but different values can be selected but setting up a column range of up to twelve cells, anywhere in Excel, filled with the option colours wanted. Then use the 'Colour range' control to select this range, and hit apply, having selected high or low values as wished. The button 'Copy' sets up a sheet 'ColourRamp' in the active workbook with the default colours, which can just be extended or deleted with just a few cells, so saving the user time.

The add-in was developed entirely within the Excel VBA IDE by Tim Lund. He is kindly distributing the tool for free on the Datastore but suggests that users who find the tool useful make a donation to the Shelter charity. It is not intended to keep the actively maintained, but if any users or developers would like to add more features, email the author.

This repository contains the raw data used for a systematic review of the impact of background music on cognitive task performance (Cheah et al., 2022). Our intention is to facilitate future updates to this work. Contents description This repository contains eight Microsoft Excel files, each containing the synthesised data pertaining to each of the six cognitive domains analysed in the review, as well as task difficulty, and population characteristics:

raw-data-attention raw-data-inhibition raw-data-language raw-data-memory raw-data-thinking raw-data-processing-speed raw-data-task-difficulty raw-data--population Files description Tabs organisation The files pertaining to each cognitive domain include individual tabs for each cognitive task analysed (c.f. Figure 2 in the original paper for the list of cognitive tasks). The file with the population characteristics data also contains separate tabs for each characteristic (extraversion, music training, gender, and working memory capacity). Tabs contents In all files and tabs, each row corresponds to the data of a test. The same article can have more than one row if it reports multiple tests. For instance, the study by Cassidy and MacDonald (2007; cf. Memory.xlsx, tab: Memory-all) contains two experiments (immediate and delayed free recall) each with multiple test (immediate free recall: tests 25 – 32; delayed free recall: tests 58 – 61). Each test (one per row), in this experiment, pertains to comparisons between conditions where the background music has different levels of arousal, between groups of participants with different extraversion levels, between different tasks material (words or paragraphs) and different combinations of the previous (e.g., high arousing music vs silence test among extraverts whilst completing an immediate free recall task involving paragraphs; cf. test 30). The columns are organised as follows:

"TESTS": the index of the test in a particular tab (for easy reference); "ID": abbreviation of the cognitive tasks involved in a specific experiment (see glossary for meaning); "REFERENCE": the article where the data was taken from (see main publications for list of articles); "CONDITIONS": an abbreviated description of the music condition of a given test; "MEANS (music)": the average performance across all participants in a given experiment with background music; "MEANS (silence)": the average performance across all participants in a given experiment without background music. Then, in horizontal arrangement, we also include groups of two columns that breakdown specific comparisons related to each test (i.e., all tests comparing the same two types of condition, e.g., L-BgM vs I-BgM, will appear under the same set of columns). For each one, we indicate mean difference between the respective conditions ("MD" column) and the direction of effect ("Standard Metric" column). Each file also contains a "Glossary" tab that explains all the abbreviations used in each document. Bibliography Cheah, Y., Wong, H. K., Spitzer, M., & Coutinho, E. (2022).

Warning: Large file size (over 1GB). Each monthly data set is large (over 4 million rows), but can be viewed in standard software such as Microsoft WordPad (save by right-clicking on the file name and selecting 'Save Target As', or equivalent on Mac OSX). It is then possible to select the required rows of data and copy and paste the information into another software application, such as a spreadsheet. Alternatively, add-ons to existing software, such as the Microsoft PowerPivot add-on for Excel, to handle larger data sets, can be used. The Microsoft PowerPivot add-on for Excel is available from Microsoft http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/excel/download-power-pivot-HA101959985.aspx Once PowerPivot has been installed, to load the large files, please follow the instructions below. Note that it may take at least 20 to 30 minutes to load one monthly file. 1. Start Excel as normal 2. Click on the PowerPivot tab 3. Click on the PowerPivot Window icon (top left) 4. In the PowerPivot Window, click on the "From Other Sources" icon 5. In the Table Import Wizard e.g. scroll to the bottom and select Text File 6. Browse to the file you want to open and choose the file extension you require e.g. CSV Once the data has been imported you can view it in a spreadsheet. What does the data cover? General practice prescribing data is a list of all medicines, dressings and appliances that are prescribed and dispensed each month. A record will only be produced when this has occurred and there is no record for a zero total. For each practice in England, the following information is presented at presentation level for each medicine, dressing and appliance, (by presentation name): - the total number of items prescribed and dispensed - the total net ingredient cost - the total actual cost - the total quantity The data covers NHS prescriptions written in England and dispensed in the community in the UK. Prescriptions written in England but dispensed outside England are included. The data includes prescriptions written by GPs and other non-medical prescribers (such as nurses and pharmacists) who are attached to GP practices. GP practices are identified only by their national code, so an additional data file - linked to the first by the practice code - provides further detail in relation to the practice. Presentations are identified only by their BNF code, so an additional data file - linked to the first by the BNF code - provides the chemical name for that presentation.

Civil and geological engineers have used field variable-head permeability tests (VH tests or slug tests) for over one century to assess the local hydraulic conductivity of tested soils and rocks. The water level in the pipe or riser casing reaches, after some rest time, a static position or elevation, z2. Then, the water level position is changed rapidly, by adding or removing some water volume, or by inserting or removing a solid slug. Afterward, the water level position or elevation z1(t) is recorded vs. time t, yielding a difference in hydraulic head or water column defined as Z(t) = z1(t) - z2. The water level at rest is assumed to be the piezometric level or PL for the tested zone, before drilling a hole and installing test equipment. All equations use Z(t) or Z*(t) = Z(t) / Z(t=0). The water-level response vs. time may be a slow return to equilibrium (overdamped test), or an oscillation back to equilibrium (underdamped test). This document deals exclusively with overdamped tests. Their data may be analyzed using several methods, known to yield different results for the hydraulic conductivity. The methods fit in three groups: group 1 neglects the influence of the solid matrix strain, group 2 is for tests in aquitards with delayed strain caused by consolidation, and group 3 takes into account some elastic and instant solid matrix strain. This document briefly explains what is wrong with certain theories and why. It shows three ways to plot the data, which are the three diagnostic graphs. According to experience with thousands of tests, most test data are biased by an incorrect estimate z2 of the piezometric level at rest. The derivative or velocity plot does not depend upon this assumed piezometric level, but can verify its correctness. The document presents experimental results and explains the three-diagnostic graphs approach, which unifies the theories and, most important, yields a user-independent result. Two free spreadsheet files are provided. The spreadsheet "Lefranc-Test-English-Model" follows the Canadian standards and is used to explain how to treat correctly the test data to reach a user-independent result. The user does not modify this model spreadsheet but can make as many copies as needed, with different names. The user can treat any other data set in a copy, and can also modify any copy if needed. The second Excel spreadsheet contains several sets of data that can be used to practice with the copies of the model spreadsheet. En génie civil et géologique, on a utilisé depuis plus d'un siècle les essais in situ de perméabilité à niveau variable (essais VH ou slug tests), afin d'évaluer la conductivité hydraulique locale des sols et rocs testés. Le niveau d'eau dans le tuyau ou le tubage prend, après une période de repos, une position ou élévation statique, z2. Ensuite, on modifie rapidement la position du niveau d'eau, en ajoutant ou en enlevant rapi-dement un volume d'eau, ou en insérant ou retirant un objet solide. La position ou l'élévation du niveau d'eau, z1(t), est alors notée en fonction du temps, t, ce qui donne une différence de charge hydraulique définie par Z(t) = z1(t) - z2. Le niveau d'eau au repos est supposé être le niveau piézométrique pour la zone testée, avant de forer un trou et d'installer l'équipement pour un essai. Toutes les équations utilisent Z(t) ou Z*(t) = Z(t) / Z(t=0). La réponse du niveau d'eau avec le temps peut être soit un lent retour à l'équilibre (cas suramorti) soit une oscillation amortie retournant à l'équilibre (cas sous-amorti). Ce document ne traite que des cas suramortis. Leurs données peuvent être analysées à l'aide de plusieurs méthodes, connues pour donner des résultats différents pour la conductivité hydraulique. Les méthodes appartiennent à trois groupes : le groupe 1 néglige l'influence de la déformation de la matrice solide, le groupe 2 est pour les essais dans des aquitards avec une déformation différée causée par la consolidation, et le groupe 3 prend en compte une certaine déformation élastique et instantanée de la matrice solide. Ce document explique brièvement ce qui est incorrect dans les théories et pourquoi. Il montre trois façons de tracer les données, qui sont les trois graphiques de diagnostic. Selon l'expérience de milliers d'essais, la plupart des données sont biaisées par un estimé incorrect de z2, le niveau piézométrique supposé. Le graphe de la dérivée ou graphe des vitesses ne dépend pas de la valeur supposée pour le niveau piézomé-trique, mais peut vérifier son exactitude. Le document présente des résultats expérimentaux et explique le diagnostic à trois graphiques, qui unifie les théories et donne un résultat indépendant de l'utilisateur, ce qui est important. Deux fichiers Excel gratuits sont fournis. Le fichier"Lefranc-Test-English-Model" suit les normes canadiennes : il sert à expliquer comment traiter correctement les données d'essai pour avoir un résultat indépendant de l'utilisateur. Celui-ci ne modifie pas ce...

This study was part of the Horizon 2020 Poultry and Pig Low-input and Organic production systems' Welfare (PPILOW) project. In this study, the effect of early-life conditions on the visual discrimination abilities of adult, free-ranging laying hens was examined. These early-life treatments entailed incubation in a 12/12h green light/dark cycle and rearing with Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) as foraging enrichment. Through a modified pebble-floor test, 171 hens of 41 to 42 wk old, housed in mobile stables with outdoor access, were tested for their ability to discriminate between food and nonfood items (mealworms and decoy mealworms). Each hen was allowed 60 pecks during the trial, from which the overall success rate, as well as within-trial learning was investigated. The latter was accomplished by dividing the 60 pecks into 3 blocks of 20 pecks and comparing the success rate between these blocks. Due to another ongoing experiment on range use, roughly half the hens received range enrichment (mealworms) at the time of testing, so this was included as a covariate in the analysis. All data regarding this experiment can be found in the excel: Data_VDA trial All feeding schemes can be found in the excel: Feed

Data gathering The researchers invited the students to answer an online form - through Google Forms virtual platform - containing the questionnaires: sociodemographic information, FANTASTIC questionnaire on Lifestyle, and a questionnaire on Sense of Coherence. The researchers clearly explained the research objectives and collection procedures on the home page, and the participants were given the Free and Informed Consent Form. The data gathered in the online form were transferred to a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel. The results were filtered, classified, and treated in order to be in line with the desired statistical analysis and could feed the statistical programs used. Statistical analysis The statistical analyses were performed by the JASP statistical software, and part of the graphics by the SPSS software. First, the researchers submitted the results to normality (Shapiro Wilk) and homogeneity (Levene test) analysis. Next, the normal homogeneous data were submitted to the ANOVA anal...

Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane library databases were searched up until 2017, the results are shown in the list in folder “Search strategy”. These results were imported into Endnote resulting in 34 articles being included in this study (folder “Full texts extraction”). Data were extracted into Excel (file “HER2 New”), including hazard ratios (HRs) for survival with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses (file “HER2 New”), publication bias and sensitivity analyses (folder “Figures”) were carried out. Estimates of overall survival (OS), progress-free survival (PFS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were weighted and pooled using Der Simonian-Laird random-effect model (file “HER2 New”). Stata was used to draw figures (folder “Figures”). (ZIP)

The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bio-(immuno-)sensors are being developed for the diagnosis of infectious diseases, cancers, food safety, etc. The SPR immunosensor using a monoclonal antibody as the capture biomolecule coated onto the gold chip allows direct, rapid, real-time, label-free, quantitative and cost-effective detection of the target antigens as analyte in a test sample. We developed for the first time SPR immunosensors using two monoclonal antibodies, viz., 2E11 (IgG1) and 1C2 (IgG1), produced in our laboratory for real-time, label-free, and rapid detection of their target antigen, i.e., Trypanosoma evansi RoTat 1.2 variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) in sera samples from the laboratory rodents and the field bovines [File 1 pdf]. First, we produced by the hybridoma technique several mAbs that reacted with the T. evansi RoTat 1.2 lysate Ags [File 2 pdf]. One of these mAbs, viz., 2E11 mAb was then used to immunoprecipitate the target Ag in the parasite lysate [Fig. 1A & 1B; File 3 pdf], which was then identified as T. evansi VSG by mass spectrometry [Fig. 2; File 3 pdf & File 4 Excel data]. Both 2E11 and 1C2 mAbs reacted with the VSG Ag in the Western blots [Fig. 3; File 3 pdf]. Then, the interactions of these mAbs with the above VSG Ag in the parasite lysate were analyzed by the respective SPR-immunosensor. The immunosensor was developed by binding of the biotinylated mAbs onto streptavidin immobilized on the gold chip [Dutra, RF and Kubota, LT. (2006). Clinica Chimica Acta. 379, 114-120]. The equilibrium dissociation constants (KD= kd/ka) of mAbs-VSG were determined to be 127 nM (ka=196.4 ± 61.9 s-M-; kd=2.51E-05 s-) for 2E11 mAb and 290 pM (ka=4616.1 ± 170.1 s-M-; kd=1.36E-06 s-) for 1C2 mAb (Table 1 pdf; Files 5 & 6 Excel data; Fig. 4-5 pdf). Further, we produced the SPR data and the sensograms of the interactions of 2E11 and 1C2 mAbs with the VSG Ag in the sera samples of the parasite-infected laboratory rodents as well as the test sera samples from the field cattle and buffaloes [File 7 with Fig. 6-11 Excel data; Fig. 6-11 pdf; File 8 with Fig. 13-17 Excel data; Fig. 12-17 pdf]. In addition, the kinetic parameters of the mAb interactions with two synthetic peptide mimotopes of the VSG were determined (Table 1 pdf; File 9 with Fig. 18-21 Excel data; Fig. 18-21 pdf). The peptide mimotopes of VSG were previously selected by PhD-12 phage display library panning against 2E11 and 1C2 mAbs in another study [Dataset reference: Mendeley Data, V2, doi: 10.17632/bs6pbskc8n.2]. These data provide valuable information for developing the real-time, label-free, SPR- based immunosensors for the diagnosis of surra caused by Trypanosoma evansi infection in a wide variety of domestic, zoo, and wildlife animal species.
