A dataset is a collection of data that is used to support scientific research. It is usually structured and organized in a way that makes it useful for a specific study or investigation. Research datasets can be used to test theories, validate models, and gain new insights and understanding in a particular field of study. They can come from a variety of sources, including experiments, simulations, surveys, and existing databases, and are often made publicly available to facilitate collaboration and replication in the scientific community.

AERI (Archival Education Research Institute): Programs and Reconciled Data, 2009-2018
2019This dataset contains ten years of data by and about the Archival Education Research Institute, 2009-2018. There are two types of data contained in this repo. The first set are the programs of the AERI Institutes, created by the host organizations. The second set of data are structured content of AERI Institute programs, compiled by and created by the authors. For additional information about the organization, choices, and complexities, please reference the GitHub repo README using this link: https://github.com/hsoyka/AERI (2019-12-24)
Comparing PLA based wood bio-composite filaments as 3D printed substrate for use in urban food production: Experimental data
As urban populations continue to grow, so does the need to address local issues including food security and accessibility. Green walls, particularly those used in Vertical Farming (VF), have potential for abundance in urban environments and may also provide secondary benefits relating to equity and community engagement. Coupled with advancements in 3D printing technology and the advent of bio-composite filaments, this study aims to utilize 3D printing to establish a baseline for cultivating food crops in bio-composite substrate. Test panels were fabricated using three different filament types: 100% pure PLA (polylactic acid), PLA with 11% wood powder, and PLA with 30% wood powder. Our findings show that there is a statistically significant difference in plant growth between filament types, suggesting that the higher the percentage of organic material present within composite filament, the higher the chance for wicking and moisture retention to occur, thereby increasing plant production and viability.
