Matlab

4. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate:
N/A

5. Environmental/experimental conditions:
See the provided file named "hydraulic_conditions.xlsx"

6. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data:
N/A

7. People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission:
Chien-Yung Tseng, Jiyong Lee, Michele Guala, and Mirko Musa
