... Plants are constantly exposed to abiotic and biotic stresses, inducing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In response, the synthesis of antioxidants is upregulated to neutralize the deteriorating effects of ROS. We investigated whether promoting this response could enhance the nutritional and sensory quality of tomatoes. In preliminary experiments, mature green tomatoes were immersed in hot water (HW) at 50 °C for 5 min, 52 °C for 5 min, or 54 °C for 2.5 min (25 °C water for 5 min as control); subsequent experiments utilized 52 °C for 5 min. Following those treatments, we evaluated the changes in color, texture, soluble solids, titratable acidity, and the antioxidant system of the fruit during ripening at 20 °C and 85-90% relative humidity. The HW treatment of 52 °C for 5 min promoted higher accumulation of carotenoids and lipophilic phenolics, resulting in greater color development and slightly higher antioxidant potential, but did not otherwise affect the composition of ripe fruit; the tomatoes ripened normally after HW immersion, with no firmness differences, but were darker red and less yellow-orange with higher antioxidant potential. Furthermore, we observed that the beneficial effects were more noticeable at early stages of ripening, even in varieties that did not exhibit major differences after reaching full ripeness. In this sense, we found that ‘Florida 47’ and ‘Security 28’ tomatoes have a limited response to HW treatment compared with ‘Soraya’ and especially ‘Tasti Lee’ tomatoes, indicating that there might be genetic constraints on the response in the former varieties. The beneficial effect of immersing the tomatoes in HW was proportional to the heat penetration profile inside the fruit; for example, the 52 °C for 5 min treatment increased the temperature up to 45 °C in the peripheral tissues 4 mm below the fruit surface where the content of carotenoids and lipophilic phenolic compounds was mainly increased; whereas, the tissue temperature was 35 °C at the center of the tomato, where we did not observe any change in composition. In conclusion, the HW immersion used in this research promoted the synthesis of lipophilic antioxidants such as carotenoids in tomato fruit, enhancing red color development and antioxidant potential.

... We introduce a dataset concerning electric-power consumption-related features registered in seven main municipalities of Nariño, Colombia, from December 2010 to May 2016. The dataset consists of 4427 socio-demographic characteristics, and 6 power-consumption-referred measured values. Data were fully collected by the company Centrales Eléctricas de Nariño (CEDNEAR) according to the client consumption records. Power consumption data collection was carried following a manual procedure wherein company workers are in charge of manually registering the readings (measured in kWh) reported by the electric energy meters installed at each housing/building. Released data set is aimed at providing researchers a suitable input for designing and assessing the performance of forecasting, modelling, simulation and optimization approaches applied to electric power consumption prediction and characterization problems.

... This introduces a software called “TEcESaS Indexes”, which is produced through the Venapp tool of Vensim software. This software, which works based on system dynamics modeling, is used to model the technical, economic, environmental, safety and social factors related to the transportation systems including Truck-Shovel and IPCCs. For more details about the definition and calculation of these factors, interested readers are referred to the works done in the provided links below. For benefiting all the features of the software, you need to install Vensim DSS. However, for having partial access to some features, especially simulation, you just will need to install Vensim Reader through the following link: https://vensim.com/vensim-model-reader/

... The AHP method was developed in Java programming language and the Sustainability Index software was created to enable users to easily handle the process of selecting the best transportation system among Truck-Shovel and IPCC systems for a mine project. This software can be run just by importing the outputs of the TEcESaS Indexes software as its inputs.

... This dataset is, or eventually will be, associated with a research paper. The paper proposes a new set of general models for estimating the transmittance in solar panel coverings of the anisotropic component of diffuse radiation, namely, Sky Isotropic, Circumsolar, Horizon Brightening, and Albedo. The Sky Isotropic radiation consists of rays coming (unbiased) from all directions of a virtual dome, the Circumsolar radiation as rays coming from a 25° half-angle spherical cone following the sun, the Horizon Brightening radiation as rays coming from either a flat ring or a 6.5° spherical segment (band) at the horizon, and ground-reflected Albedo as a downward extension of the Sky Isotropic dome. The proposed models are in function of the Beam Incidence Angle (in [rad]), the panel Tilt Angle (in [rad]), the covering Thickness (L in [m]), the covering Refraction Index (n), and the covering Extinction Coefficient (K in [1/m]). Four files are related to these models. The rest of the files correspond to a case study related to the same paper, where detailed calculations are presented for half-hourly time steps throughout the whole 2018 year for two locations (Pittsburgh, United States, and Santa Marta, Colombia), three south-facing panel inclinations (0°, 90°, and counter-latitude), two sky models (HDKR, 1990, and Perez, 1990), and three sets of covering specifications (low range, Default, and high range). Meteorological data were obtained for both locations from The National Solar Radiation Database (NSRDB), which includes values for the Horizontal Global Irradiance, Horizontal Diffuse Irradiance, Ambient Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Wind Speed. The sets of covering specifications were taken from similar studies reporting values that are often used: low range (L: 0.001, K: 4, n: 1.34), Default (L: 0.002, K: 4, n: 1.526), and high range (L: 0.004, K: 32, n: 1.6).

... Data contains raw data and processed results (Pre -FEC and Post FEC) for PSA and EDFA pre-amplified receivers. A DSP script for processing the raw data is also provided. There are 10 batches for each received power level. Pre-FEC BERs were calculated using hte DSP script. The parameters of data aquisition are mentioned in the DSP script. post FEC results are obtained by using DVBS2 decoder, structure available in matlab.
