Data sets for 'mean population masses' and 'upper quartile masses' were compiled and analyzed separately using STATISTICA 8 (www.StatSoft.com).
Mass movement data were compiled from the Soil and Water Conservation Bureau (SWCB) of Taiwan reports for 156 landslides, 91 debris flows, and 16 events with both landslides and debris flows (http://117.56.222.245/disasterInfo/ImpDisasterReport.aspx).aspx
Histone modifications within a single histone tail identified by tandem mass spectrometry experiments were compiled from published literature [ 14- 17].
Due to the variability of the mass transfer coefficient obtained for each experimental condition, the results were compiled into, mass transfer coefficient histograms (MTH) for analysis.
The spectra obtained were compiled, normalized, and mass peaks with mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) between 2000 and 20,000 Da identified.
All spectra were compiled and qualified mass peaks (signal-to-noise ratio > 5) with mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) between 2 kDa and 30 kDa were auto-detected.
Data from the Taiwan Soil and Water Conservation Bureau reports were compiled for 263 mass movement events, including 156 landslides, 91 debris flows, and 16 events with both landslides and debris flows.
The "Combined-AP/MS" and "LC-multiple" datasets were compiled from the affinity purifications followed by the mass spectrometry (AP/MS) method and literature curation, respectively, while the other three datasets were compiled from diverse data sources.
These masses and associated information (predicted atomic compositions, Rt and putative BIA assignments) were compiled in a separate file (Additional file 11) representing a condensed, alkaloid-specific listing.
Outcome measures were compiled and compared.
