... This study was approved by Chang Gung Medical Foundation Institutional Review Board and a written informed consent was obtained from each patient. The patients participating in this clinical trial were older than 20 years of age and scheduled for elective surgeries under general anesthesia. Patients were excluded if they had BMI (Body Mass Index) > 35 kg/m2, interincisor distance < 3 cm, poor dentition, upper airway tumor, limited neck mobility, pregnancy or history of difficult tracheal intubation. One hundred fifty patients were enrolled and, based on computer-generated random numbers, were assigned to one of three groups: the CVS as a video stylet (CVS-V) group, the CVS as a lightwand (CVS-L) group and direct laryngoscope (DL) group. In this trial, a successful intubation was defined as the intubation was completed within 30 seconds. Intubation time was counted from inserting the device into the patient’s mouth to viewing the endotracheal tube into the trachea. The intubation time for patients who required more than one attempt was the sum of the times of all the intubation attempts. The following data were also collected: (1) airway parameters (Mallampati classification, thyromental distance, interincisor distance and neck circumference); (2) hemodynamic stress response; (3) sore throat and mucosa injury (documented by a blinded observer on the next day).

... This data compliments a paper entitled: The lungs’ communication with their related acupuncture points. The paper fully describes and analyses the data. At the time of writing, the paper is still in production. Please see the links at the end of this dataset, which will be updated once the paper is published. A previous experiment (see links at end) determined that the tissue at stomach-related acupoints contains real-time physical patterns that reflect fine detail of the stomach’s function. The current experiment was intended to test if this phenomenon also existed at lung-related acupoints. The associated paper demonstrates that the impedance waves recorded at the lung-related acupoints contained a real-time reflection of the subject’s breathing pattern. This is consistent with Kovich’s intelligent tissue hypothesis. The analysis of the results also demonstrated that they were not due to artefact of any description, including the muscular activity of respiration, or bioelectrical signals, including those from the respiration pacesetter. Instead, the resultant waves did seem to represent pacesetter activity, though this appeared to originate from the lungs themselves, which is inconsistent with the current thinking concerning the respiration pacesetter. The results therefore also suggest that the current knowledge in this area is incomplete.

... This dataset contains sedimentological and petrographical data that lead to a facies analysis on several beach rock outcrops. The aim was to show that sedimentological facies analysis can lower the vertical error that has to be assumed when reconstructing paleo sea level based on beach rock. The study area is located along the northeastern coastline of Oman and a key area for the investigation of beach rock. This is due to the geomorphology of the region. Twelve marine terraces are observed running parallel to the coastline. On many of these terraces, beach rocks are observed. The facies analysis was then used to establish a more accurate indicative meaning for the investigated beach rocks.

... These are supporting data to our paper, "Deformation-enhanced UHP metamorphic transformation of two-pyroxene granite in ductile shear zones at Yangkou, Sulu UHP metamorphic belt: implications for deep continental subduction and exhumation". The photomicrographs show microstructures and textures of minerals in the undeformed granite and granitic mylonite. The EMPA data are the original data including but not limited to these shown in figure 6 and 8. The EBSD data include both the original data and processed data, which is the bases for figure 7.

... This data compliments a paper entitled: The stomach’s communication with its related acupoints, and the “intelligent tissue” hypothesis. The paper fully describes and analyses the data. At the time of writing, the paper is still in production. Please see the links at the end of this dataset, which will be updated once the paper is published. The paper demonstrates that the impedance waves recorded at the stomach-related acupoints contain a real-time reflection of the subject’s “duodenal” waves, and also the stomach’s slow waves; that these are not artefact of any type; and also that when the local tissue at the acupoints interprets organ information conveyed on an electromagnetic wave, the interpretation at each acupoint takes place at a variable speed (presumably the time taken for the local tissue to interpret and then reflect the information), which tends to produce a variable phase shift in the waves when compared to those at the other acupoints or with the source. Hence, the paper demonstrates that the tissue at the monitored acupoints adopts real-time physical changes that reflect the state of the related organ’s function (though with a variable delay, ranging from between 10ths of a second, to 1-2 seconds).

... In this study, anthracite coal samples were collected separately from the soft and hard stratified coal of the No. 21 coal seam of the Jiulishan Coal Mine located in China’s Henan Province. Each coal sample was equipartitioned using a mixing and reduction method, and then further sieved into four particle-size fractions as follows: 3 to 6 mesh (3.35 to 6.7 mm); 6 to 18 mesh (1 to 3.35 mm); 60 to 80 mesh (0.18 to 0.25 mm); and > 120 mesh (< 0.125 mm). Then, Automatic Surface Area and Pore Analyzer and Adsorption Constant Tester was used to measure adsorption parameters. The data of the nitrogen adsorption experiment is recorded by the software automatic analysis. Then, in accordance with to Brunauer- Emmett-Teller (BET) theory and the Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) method, the structural parameters of the pores were automatically calculated using computer software. Also, in accordance with a multi-point BET model, the SSA of each sample was obtained. Meanwhile, the PV and PSD were determined according to the aforementioned BJH method. The data from the methane adsorption experiment is obtained by the meter and the record is manually read.
