Elderberry syrup buffer modeling data
Data for the article: Modeling the Formulation pH of Elderberry Syrup with multiple weak acids, https://doi.org/10.1111/1750-3841.16664. To develop methods to assess the influence of the ingredients of an acidified elderberry syrup on product pH., a total of 16 model syrup formulations containing elderberry juice with mixed acids (malic, acetic, and ascorbic) and having pH values between 3 and 4 were prepared. The pH values of the formulations were compared to predicted values from combined buffer models of the individual ingredients. Regression analysis indicated an excellent fit of the observed and predicted pH data, with a root mean square error of 0.076 pH units. The results indicated that buffer models may be useful for in silico estimates of how the ingredients in acid and acidified foods may influence pH, thus aiding in product development and safety assessments.
Data from: Effect of Source on Trust of Pulse Nutrition Information and Perceived Likelihood of Following Dietary Guidance
The purpose of the present study was to examine how information source (control—no source, USDA, fictitious hospital, or fictitious social media) impacts perceptions of diet information. Participants included 943 American adults who were aged 18-74 years and were recruited from across the United States through Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk). ANOVA results indicated that the USDA and hospital sources were perceived as more accurate, trustworthy, reliable, and more desirable to learn more from relative to control and social media. There were no differences in likelihood of following guidance depending on source.
Prediction of Cattle Fever Tick Outbreaks in United States Quarantine Zone
Data and statistical analysis supporting a link between climate variables and US Cattle Fever tick outbreaks.
Data from: Responses to environmental variability by herbivorous insects and their natural enemies within a bioenergy crop, Miscanthus x giganteus
This dataset consists of field data (arthropods, nematodes and NDVI) collected over the course of 6 field excursions in 2015 and 2016 near TyTy, GA, in a field used for growing Miscanthus x giganteus. It also includes interpolated values of soil measurements collected in 2015 and meteorological data collected on an adjacent farm.
Estimated spring crop yields using Flex Cropping Tool
NAL Geospatial Catalog
Average estimated yields and associated CV values for current (2018) model runs.
Data from: Evolution of male courtship behavior among species of parasitoids in the genus Aphelinus (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)
Male courtship behavior among parasitoid species in the genus *Aphelinus* is compared. Logistic regression of species on courtship components of male behavior correctly classified males to species with 95 percent accuracy. Data are presented on parasitoid and host aphid species sampling locations, courtship behavior, and geographical patristic distance.
