This data repository serves as a version control system of a standardized method of compound-muscle action potential (CMAP) recordings from rodent vibrissal muscles for functional evaluation of reconstructed or regenerated facial nerves.

Our work focuses on three key aspects: 1. Mesh generation that incorporates spatially varying mechanical properties and well-defined boundary conditions. 2. Validation of the FE results through comparison with digital image correlation (DIC) system measurements. 3. Open-source software utilization throughout the entire process, making it more accessible and cost-effective. This work aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of this framework for analyzing heterogeneous materials in various fields, offering a more accessible and affordable approach.

Wind erosion is a process in which soil particles are detached from soils and transported downwind. One effective measure to reduce wind erosion are vegetated windbreaks such as hedgerows as they reduce wind speeds and likewise the forces which detach and transport soil particles. However, the planting of new windbreaks is driven by policy decisions as well as planning considerations. To get an initial idea of potential locations for new windbreaks, we present an automated routine as a model in ESRI ArcGIS Pro to propose plantation locations. The main input to the model is a wind erosion risk map. The results are potential locations for windbreaks that are ranked according to their suitability. The model parameters are adjustable, transferable to other regions and can be altered by to the user's needs. • Limit the wind erosion risk map to the most prone fields • Selection of unprotected sites perpendicular to the main wind direction • Suggestions for suitable sites for the potential planting of new windbreaks ****************************************************************** The data includes ArcGIS Pro Model as Toolbox Python script of the model Input data for study region Output data for study region Sources of the data are cited in the referenced and associated publication.

The two main sub-folders are "Silty Sand" and "Lean Clay", which are representative regional soils of the Canadian Prairies. The sand is an inert soil that remains relatively unchanged with water content fluctuation, while the clay is an active soil that shrinks and swells with water. Each material has a "General Properties" sub-folder containing data used to make classifications that are independent of the pore fluid type. The "Water Pore Fluid" and "Saline Pore Fluid" contain "Specific Properties" sub-folders that contain data used to make classifications that are dependent on the pore fluid type. In addition, "Low Demand Evaporation" and "High Demand Evaporation" sub-folders contain data generated in the bench-scale atmospheric simulator (BAS2) and in ambient laboratory conditions. There are "3D Models" sub-folders containing all the data that was intermittently captured throughout the low demand evaporation experiments.

The two main sub-folders are the "Prairie Climate" and "Evaporation Experiments". The Prairie Climate folder contains historical atmospheric data from four weather stations (i.e., Regina, Kindersley, Swift Current, and Wynyard). The values are averaged to calculate atmospheric values at Lake Diefenbaker (i.e., Gardiner). The Evaporation Experiments folder contains data generated in the bench-scale atmospheric simulator (BAS and BAS2). Evaporation data for distilled water and saturated brine are included, based upon weather scenarios developed using the Prairie Climate data. The associated publication provides a breakdown and description of the included files.

An entry from the Cambridge Structural Database, the world’s repository for small molecule crystal structures. The entry contains experimental data from a crystal diffraction study. The deposited dataset for this entry is freely available from the CCDC and typically includes 3D coordinates, cell parameters, space group, experimental conditions and quality measures.
