Galaxy Zoo: A catalog of overlapping galaxy pairs
(2013)Analysis of galaxies with overlapping images offers a direct way to probe the distribution of dust extinction and its effects on the background light. We present a catalog of 1990 such galaxy pairs selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) by volunteers of the Galaxy Zoo project. We highlight subsamples which are particularly useful for retrieving such properties of the dust distribution as UV extinction, the extent perpendicular ...Data Collection -
The UbiDCC Data Set
(2013)This is a data set resulted from a large-scale Data Collection Campaign (DCC). It took place during the UbiComp/ISWC 2013 conference at the ETH Zurich. Over 700 attendees were registered for this 3-days event. The UbiDCC data set contains (1) mobility traces of nearly 1200 devices at the venue extracted by processing the collected raw data, (2) Bluetooth and Wi-Fi raw data of 37 active participants, and (3) their demographic data. In the ...Dataset -

Global Plankton Functional Type Biomass Distributions: Coccolithophores
(2013)Coccolithophores are calcifying marine phytoplankton of the class Prymnesiophyceae. They are considered to play an import role in the global carbon cycle through the production and export of organic carbon and calcite. We have compiled observations of global coccolithophore abundance from several existing databases as well as individual contributions of published and unpublished datasets. We estimate carbon biomass using standardised ...Dataset -
Hubble Space Telescope GOODS NICMOS Survey
(2013)We present the details and early results from a deep near-infrared survey utilizing the NICMOS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope centred around massive M*>1011M☉ galaxies at 1.7<z<2.9 found within the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) fields North and South. The GOODS NICMOS Survey (GNS) was designed to obtain deep F160W (H-band) imaging of 80 of these massive galaxies and other colour-selected objects such as Lyman-break ...Data Collection -
Hippocampal gene expression profiling of a model of Alzheimer`s Disease upon treatment with the ACE inhibitor captopril
(2013)Extracellular senile plaques of amyloid beta (Abeta) are a pathological hallmark in brain of patients with Alzheimer`s Disease (AD). Abeta is generated by the amyloidogenic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Concomitant to Abeta load, AD brain is characterized by an increase in protein level and activity of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). ACE inhibitors are a widely used class of drugs with established benefits ...Dataset -
Microarray gene expression profiling of transgenic mice with myocardium-specific over-expression of fatty acid synthase (FASN)
(2013)The fatty acid synthase (FASN) is the major fat synthesizing enzyme. FASN is an indispensable enzyme because mice with genetic deletion of Fasn are not viable. Apart from its physiological function, previous studies indicated that FASN could also exert a pathophysiological role, in the heart, because patients with heart failure showed up-reguation of FASN. To investigate the in vivo function of FASN up-regulation in the heart, we generated ...Dataset
