Datasets collected in fallow lands in the agricultural lands within the Lleida plain (Catalonia, north-eastern Spain) on 2022-2023. These data is analyzed in the research article: Mechanical management decreases arthropod biomass by changing vegetation structure in fallow fields of high conservation value (on press). See the article for further information on experimental design and data collection. Datasets incude: Biomass: arthropod abundance data, collected with pitfall traps, classified by order and converted to biomass values Orthoptera: orthoptera counts from transects. Classified by body size Pollinators: pollinators counts from transects. Classified by group, family and genre Vegetation: all previous datasets include data from vegetation structure associated to the pitfall station or transect, Peer reviewed

Consistent monitoring of seawater spectrophotometric pH on the total hydrogen ion scale (pHT) has been challenged by an evolving method, with changes in formulation and the purity of the meta-cresol purple (mCP). Critically, the method still lacks metrological traceability to the International System of Units (SI). Using real seawater samples, we demonstrate that spectrophotometric pHT measurements obtained with unpurified (UNPUR) and purified (PUR) mCP can be harmonized to within 0.003 pH units, the climate-goal threshold. This level of agreement is only achieved when mCP impurities are quantified for both the UNPUR and PUR mCP, and impurity-corrected absorbance data is used in the same formulation to calculate pHT. We applied this approach to a ship-based pHT time-series that transitioned from UNPUR to PUR mCP measurements, achieving agreement better than 0.003 pHT units. Our results show that previous claims suggesting that UNPUR mCP underestimates pHT in the upper pH range are misleading, as they were based on the inappropriate use of absorbances obtained with UNPUR mCP with a formulation developed for PUR mCP. In fact, our data reveal better agreement between UNPUR and PUR pHT in the upper pH range, while UNPUR mCP tends to overestimate pHT in the lower pH range. These findings highlight the urgent need for the global chemical oceanography community to establish a spectrophotometric pHT method with full SI traceability, along with certified reference materials and characterized mCP. This work supports the need for harmonization efforts to ensure the reliability of pHT data in global synthesis products., We are grateful to the captains, staff, principal investigators, researchers and technicians who contributed to acquiring and processing the hydrographic and ancillary chemical data from IEOOS (RADPROF and RADCAN) and MSM72 cruises. The financial support for the MSM72 cruise was provided by the project of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (grant U4600DFG040204). The IEOOS program was supported by EU FEMP and FEMPA programs and the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge funds. M.

Ultrasound imaging plays an important role in screening early detection and breast cancer diagnosis. However, speckle noise affects medical ultrasound images and degrades the visual radiologic evaluation, which generally causes several difficulties in identifying the malignant and benignant regions. Denoising is an important step in preprocessing medical images, because it restores the maximum details preserving edges and all information of the images, achieving successful accuracy in anomalies classification. To reduce the speckle noise and retain image features well, we proposed two GANs models to breast ultrasound speckle denoising as preprocessing image, (i) Conditional GAN and (ii) WGAN. The better denoising image quality was measured by peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM). The experimental analysis clearly shows that the CGAN method achieves better visual image quality in terms of PSNR=38.18 dB and SSIM= 0.96 with respect to WGAN model (PSNR=33.0068 dB and SSIM=0.91) on the small Ultrasound training datasets. Thus, we conclude that GANs can help in denoising ultrasound medical imaging, and as a future work these data can be used as computer system input for image segmentation and classification, reducing the hand-dependence and helping radiologists to improve breast cancer detection., Ministerio de Educación y Formación Profesional PID2019-107790RB-C22 MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033., Peer reviewed
