    Daily Seawater Temperature dataset at the Leigh Marine Laboratory, northern New Zealand, from 1967 to 2023
    (2023-12-05) Shears, Nick; Evans, Jo; Atkins, John
    Daily sea surface temperature measurements have been taken at Goat Island, adjacent the Leigh Marine Laboratory, since 1967. Manual temperature measurements were taken daily at 9am until 2011, but have since been taken by means of an electronic data logger located 1m below the service at coordinates: 36 16.010 S; 174 48.070 E. This data set is the infilled 9am daily temperatures analysed by Shears, Bowen and Thoral "Long-term warming and record-breaking marine heatwaves in the Hauraki Gulf, northern New Zealand" submitted to New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research.

    Intraoperative physiology recorded for investigating methods of diagnosis by an expert system
    (2015-04-29) Harrison, Michael; Cumin, David
    Data in this collection was originally collected, with local ethics committee and patient consent, at 0.1 Hz from the Datex-Ohmeda S5 anaesthetic monitor via a serial connection using an ‘in-house’ data-collection program (a modification of that A.Lowe, which is incorporated into EBMi software - http://www.custos.co.nz). The data collected were converted to text files. The EBMi software generates an assessment of the state of blood volume, whether there was sympathetic activity or a fall in cardiac output, amongst other indices and were stored separate files. This data was collected for the purpose of investigating methods of enhancing intra-operative diagnoses by an expert system (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.compbiomed.2014.12.017). An R script was used to merge and convert these files into the XML schema. With the exception of heart rate, pulse rate and respiratory rate all the values in the raw data are 100x the true values.

    Seawater Temperature dataset at Goat Island, Leigh New Zealand from October 2011 to present.
    (2014) Atkins, John
    Seawater surface temperatures collected adjacent the Leigh Marine Laboratory. Hourly measurements are taken by means of an electronic data logger. The sensor is located 1m below the service at coordinates: 36 16.010 S 174 48.070 E

    Physiological changes during anaesthesia for surgery with potential for moderate blood loss
    (2012) Harrison, Michael; Cumin, David
    Data in this collection was originally collected, with local ethics committee and patient consent, at 0.1 Hz from the Datex-Ohmeda S5 anaesthetic monitor via a serial connection using an ‘in-house’ data-collection program (A.Lowe). The data collected were converted to text files and stored in a Microsoft Excel™ file. The concurrent timed comments from clinicians included an assessment of the state of blood volume, whether there was sympathetic activity or a fall in cardiac output, amongst others, were collected in a separate file. This data was collected for the purpose of investigating methods of enhancing intra-operative diagnoses by an expert system [41]. A VBA (v6.5, Microsoft) script was used to merge and convert these files into the XML schema. Note that blood pressure values are 100 x the true value.

    T2 weighted imaging of the bovine eye and 3D reconstruction of the ocular lens’ sutures using tractography
    (ResearchSpace@Auckland, 2010) Vaghefi, Ehsan
    TITLE: T2 weighted imaging of the bovine eye. The adaptation of MRI protocols for the ocular tissue was required to achieve a range of high contrast MRI results from this organ. Among various protocols available, the 3D gradient echo protocol was thought to be the most suitable. During this experiment, it was revealed that the ocular T2 properties vary throughout the eye and especially the ocular lens stood out from the rest of the ocular tissue. Using 3D surface rendering techniques and taking advantage of high contrast and high resolution data from the ocular lens, some iso-surfaces corresponding to different T2 relaxation times were rendered and visualized. It is believed that the concentric volumes detected in the lens were corresponding to its varying water-protein ratio from periphery towards the core of the lens.

    Anaesthetic Shoulder Arthroscopy Cases (ASAC) Dataset
    (ResearchSpace@Auckland, 2009) Cumin, David
    1.1. PURPOSE There is currently a lack of high quality anaesthetic records from operations which can be used for research purposes (especially to do with physiologic signals). The purpose of this database is to allow an easily accessible resource for researchers and clinicians to deposit and/or obtain complete clinical recordings. 1.2. DATA Ethics approval was obtained to collect and make accessible the data in this database. Data was collected using the SAFERSleep system [1] set to the highest data sampling rate (0.2Hz). Recordings include patient data, time-stamped medical events/interventions (e.g. drug, gas, vapour administration, repositioning of patient etc.) and physiologic data (e.g. heart rate, oxygen saturation etc.). The database contains 20 high quality anaesthetic cases made up of 13 male and 7 female patients aged between 21 and 70 years of age and weighing between 57 and 110kg undergoing shoulder arthroscopy operations. Each patient had between 17 and 26 measured variables over their proceedure, between 5 and 24 events, and between 18 and 58 drug administrations. In total, there are 400 signals over approximately 20 hours with 274 events and 597 drug administrations. Each case is a separate XML file and is easily navigated (Figure 0 1). The time series (physiologic) data is contained as comma-separated values (CSV) within the XML format. Combining the CSV and the XML makes the data easily read and allows for ease of creation should other researchers wish to add cases.

    Random Effects Models for Ordinal Data (Dataset)
    (ResearchSpace@Auckland, 2008) Lee, Arier Chi-Lun
    This dataset contains addtional material for the PhD thesis "Random effects models for ordinal data", fulltext at http://hdl.handle.net/2292/4544. This dataset contains six folders listed below, organised by chapter in the Zip files. 1. Ch4_Ante_dependence : Two files for performing ante-dependence method (ANTORDER and ANTTEST) on the calves weight data, as described in section 4.2. 2. Ch5_2003_trial_Assessment4 : Two folders with WinBUGS codes and output from analysing the 4th assessment data of the 2003 trial using a Bayesian hierarchical ordinal logistic model, as described in section 5.2. 3. Ch7_5_Disease_Profiles : Two folders with WinBUGS codes and related output from analyses of the 1987 and 2005 late blight data using the 5 disease profiles as described in section 7.4.2. 4. Ch7_Prior_for_row_col_hyperparameters : 4 different priors were applied to the row and column hyperparameters in the Bayesian hierarchical model as described in section 7.5.2. 4 subfolders here, one for each of the priors. 5. Ch8_Individual_Trial_result : This folder contains folders of results from fitting a Bayesian sigmoid logistic model to each individual late blight trials as described in Chapter 8. 6. Ch9_Analysing_combined_trials : Applying a Bayesian model for analysing repeatedly assessed ordinal scores of combined late blight trials data from different years as described in Chapter 9. The model was applied to the 1985, 1987 combined data (8586_8788_combined) and also to the 1983, 1985 and 1987 combined data(8384_8586_8788_combined).
