... These files comprise all of the NGS sequence assemblies referred to in the article: "Next generation sequencing from Hepatozoon canis (Apicomplexa: Coccidia: Adeleorina): Complete apicoplast genome and multiple mitochondrion-associated sequences." All assemblies were generated from Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing data (126 bp paired-end reads, insert length ~500 bp). In the case of mitochondrion-associated sequences 1, 2, 3 and 4: PCR and Sanger sequencing data were utilized to provide additional assembly coverage of CDS regions. Files included are: BAM assembly files: .bam, .bai and .fasta (these files are needed together to generate a BAM assembly flat file - supported by many software platforms). Geneious assembly files: Complete annotated assemblies (with NGS read pairings) can be viewed with Geneious software (versions 6.1 or newer). These files will provide the greatest details of the assembly data. Jpeg images of Geneious assemblies: These files were provided for ease of viewing and rapid analysis. Note: images were not generated for the complete ribosomal DNA unit and 18S rDNA variant assemblies as these assemblies were too large to viewed as images.

... Sense of agency entitles the feeling of control over the own actions. The strength of this sense varies inter-individually. This means, people differ in the perception concerning the intensity of their intentions and actions. The current study aims to determine factors influencing this sense of agency on a personality level. Furthermore, it gives insight into the correlative relation between the strength of the sense of agency and substance use. Therefore, 210 participants have been tested for the experiment (intentional binding paradigm for sense of agency, hand paradigm for intentionality bias, questionnaires FAD-Plus, NI-20, substance use). Significant determinants in personality were narcissism (vulnerable subtype) and substance use (consume in general beyond cannabis, and particularly for the substances cannabis, ecstasy or cocaine). Both groups were associated with a weaker sense of agency compared to controls. For both results, alterations in the dopaminergic system need to be discussed. The present results confirm prior hypotheses that dopamine seems to play a crucial role in perception of agency. Possibly, a higher accessibility of dopamine increases sense of agency (hyper-binding), whereas a lower accessibility of dopamine decreases sense of agency (hypo-binding). A second aim of the study was to see, whether there is a connection between sense of agency and intentionality bias. The perception of intention in others differs widely – some people tend to see arbitrary or accidental actions as unintentional, others quickly label ‘intentional’ although the information is not distinct for a categorization. This cognitive error is called intentionality bias. Results could not confirm a relationship between the two constructs - one’s own intention and judging intention in others - in this study. This may be due to lack of connection between the two constructs or due to methodical aspects. Further directions and limitations are discussed

... In this research, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (“AMF”) was introduced to Early Girl tomato plants grown in soil exposed to lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), common soil contaminants with detrimental developmental and neurological effects. After a two month growing period, vinegar-and-ink staining and light microscopy of roots was used to visualize structural characteristics of AMF (e.g. vesicles, hyphae, and arbuscules) and lead sequestration (e.g. complexes attached to the cell wall). Dry mass and height difference over time of individual plants was measured in order to document the effect of Pb-Cd and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on tomato growth, both paired and unpaired. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry was utilized to measure concentrations (ppm) of Pb and Cd within two samples from each group’s root, stem, and flower systems in order to quantify plant bioaccumulation and subsequently analyze phytoremediation efficacy.

... Original data: monthly gross inland natural gas consumption (in Terajoules, TJ) in each of the 14 countries included in the analysis. The data were collected from the Statistical Office of the European Union (EUROSTAT, 2019) database. The time period of the analysis spans from January 2008 to June 2018 (the last date available for all European countries). Data ranging from January 2008 to June 2017 were considered as training set for models using the traditional aggregation routines (mean and median). For models employing the regularization routines, a validation set is included between the months of July 2016 and June 2017, in which appropriate weights are assigned to each of the bagged forecasts. The test set, in turn, comprised the last 12 observations (July 2017 – June 2018). The original data can also be found in the supplementary material of the submitted manuscript (Appendix C). A total of 14 countries were selected for the empirical analysis. An endeavor was made to include most of the major consuming countries in Europe, namely France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey and United Kingdom. To demonstrate the flexibility of the proposed approaches, we also selected several medium (Belgium, Poland and Romania) and minor consuming countries (Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg and Slovakia). We finally emphasize that not every country could be included in the analysis, due to the lack of data (missing information and/or dataset starting after January 2008).
