    Abstract Introduction: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States, with cigarette smoking recognized as the most important modifiable risk factor. The distinct smoking rates and occupational landscape in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan underscore the necessity of investigating the multifactorial influences on the prevalence and distribution of lung and bronchus cancer within this population.
    Methods: This study, conducted from January 2012 to December 2022, included 1035 patients diagnosed with lung or bronchus tumors who were first seen and/or received the first course of treatment at Upper Peninsula Health Systems (UPHS) - Marquette, the largest hospital system in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and one of only two radiation oncology treatment centers in the Upper Peninsula.
    Results: This study demonstrated that the histologic trend of lung and bronchus cancers in a sample of 1035 patients in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan closely resembles that of national averages. Participants with a lifetime history of smoking made up 943 (91.1%) cases of patients diagnosed with lung or bronchus cancers in this study. Lifetime non-smokers only made up 53 (5.1%) cases of patients diagnosed with lung or bronchus cancers. The median age at diagnosis of participants in this study was 70 years.
    Conclusion: Our study provides significant insights into the histologic distribution of lung and bronchus cancers within the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, addressing a notable gap in the current literature for this rural and medically underserved population. The histologic distribution of lung and bronchus cancers in this region aligns with national trends. Furthermore, the distinct rates of cigarette smoking in the Upper Peninsula emphasize the critical role of smoking cessation efforts in reducing the burden of lung and bronchus cancers in this region.

    Abstract This data relates to existing and planned electricity generation projects in Victoria, Australia. Planning Victoria, part of the Victorian Government, registered most projects. The technical performance data for the projects includes the electricity generated, input fuel, losses in the transmission of electricity, energy storage options, and transparency between grid operators and stakeholders. The social data related to the projects include health data for the effect of Victorian coal plant pollution, including a rich dataset on the health effects of a coal fire in (Jennens, 2021). A dataset for all the health effects of coal plants in Victoria was then compiled. The social data also includes a measure of customer engagement with electricity distribution companies in Victoria and public satisfaction with renewable projects in Victoria. The economic cost data includes capital costs, operation and maintenance costs, and externality costs related to greenhouse gasses emitted. The environmental data used a life cycle assessment and the critical materials needed for the electricity generation projects. The analysis performed was an nBL assessment (Foliente, 2007) which uses a comparative analysis of the four bottom lines (environmental, social, economic and technology). An nBL assessment is similar to a Triple Bottom Line assessment but includes additional parameters. The data used for this nBL analysis was for three scenarios (business as usual, a renewable generation future with electricity imported from other states and a renewable generation future with all electricity generated in Victoria). The first step in managing the raw data was to normalise, standardise and aggregate the data. These steps were done for the four bottom lines and the three scenarios. The reuse potential of this data is high as it is for a pipeline of projects that will continue to evolve. This data would also have the potential for other researchers to compare the Victorian electricity transition with other places internationally.

    Abstract The Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron starch utilization system (Sus) is a model system for nutrient acquisition by gut Bacteroidetes, a dominant phylum of gut bacteria. The Sus includes SusCDEFG, which assemble on the cell surface to capture, degrade and import starch. While SusD is an essential starch-binding protein, the precise role(s) of the partially homologous starch-binding proteins SusE and SusF has remained elusive. We previously reported that a non-binding version of SusD (SusD*) supports growth on starch when other members of the multi-protein complex are present. Here we demonstrate that SusE supports SusD* growth on maltooligosaccharides, and determine the domains of SusE essential for this function. Furthermore, we demonstrate that SusE does not need to bind starch to support growth in the presence of SusD*, suggesting that the assembly of SusCDE is most important for maltooligosaccharide uptake in this context. However, starch binding by proteins SusDEF directs the uptake of maltooligosaccharides of specific lengths, suggesting that these proteins equip the cell to scavenge a range of starch fragments. These data demonstrate that the assembly of core Sus proteins SusCDE is secondary to their glycan binding roles, but glycan binding by Sus proteins may fine tune the selection of glycans from the environment.
