This dataset includes a catalog of events for the 2019 Ridgecrest, CA earthquake sequence with calibrated relative moment magnitude estimates. We include results from all cases described in Gable and Huang 2024b.

During its trajectory, Wind spent a significant amount of time in the magnetotail, where its SupraThermal Ion Composition Spectrometer (STICS) measured the mass and mass per charge of protons, alpha particles, and heavy ions with an energy/charge ratio up to 226 keV/e. Although STICS originally aimed to measure the abundance of these ion species in the solar wind, its measurements within the magnetosphere from 1995 to 2002 help us identify preferential entry between the different solar wind ion species. This study statistically analyzes how the ratio between solar wind heavy ions and alpha particles (Heavies Solar Wind / He2+) varies for different upstream conditions and locations within the magnetosphere: northward vs. southward Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF), low vs. high solar wind density (Nsw), low vs. high solar wind dynamic pressure (PDyn), slow vs. fast solar wind (Vsw), and dawn vs. dusk. Our results indicate that the HeaviesSolar Wind enter the magnetosphere more efficiently than He2+ during northward IMF and that the Heavies Solar Wind / He2+ ratios decrease during high PDyn. In addition, the Heavies Solar Wind / He2+ ratios exhibit a dawn-dusk asymmetry, highly skewed towards the dawn side for all upstream cases likely due to charge-exchange processes.

We study the pathophysiology of spinal cord decompression sickness. We saturated ex-vivo bovine spinal cord tissue with nitrogen, partially decompressed the samples to induce bubble formation, and then probed the mechanical response of the surrounding tissue by pressure-cycling.
The ability to accurately measure tibiofemoral angles during various dynamic activities is of clinical interest. The purpose of this study was to determine if inertial measurement units (IMUs) can provide accurate and reliable angle estimates during dynamic actions. A tuned quaternion conversion (TQC) method tuned to dynamics actions was used to calculate Euler angles based on IMU data and these calculated angles were compared to a motion capture system (our “gold” standard) and a commercially available sensor fusion algorithm. Nine healthy athletes were in-strumented with APDM Opal IMUs and asked to perform nine dynamic actions; five participants were used in training the parameters of the TQC method with the remaining four used to test validity.

Reconstructed CT slices for Cranium of Castoroides (University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology catalog number UMMP VP 3110) as a series of TIFF images. Raw projections are not included in this dataset. The reconstructed slice data resulting from a merge of two separate scans are offered here as a series of unsigned 16-bit integer TIFF images. There may be slight differences in voxel grey values between the two parts. The upper left corner of the first image (*_0000.tif) is the XYZ origin.

The internet has significantly transformed how news is produced, consumed, and distributed. As a result, the news
industry has transitioned from ad-supported to subscription-based models regulated by digital paywalls. In light of this
disruption, it’s crucial to investigate not only how news consumers adapt to this change but also how economic incentives
shape content coverage. We analyzed the staggered adoption of digital paywalls by 17 regional U.S. newspapers over 17
years in a difference-in-difference framework to examine the impact of paywall adoption on topical news content coverage.
Our results reveal a small but significant decrease in local and soft news coverage, with varying effects across different
urban contexts. Specifically, local news coverage experienced a more substantial decline in smaller cities (population <
500,000) and regions experiencing an influx of younger residents (age < 40 years). Conversely, soft news coverage increased
in areas with a younger demographic influx, indicating a strategic shift by newspapers to cater to digital-savvy audiences
and adapt to changing consumption patterns. Our findings underscore the delicate balance between financial imperatives
and editorial choices in the newspaper industry and highlight the need for ongoing research into the effects of digital
monetization strategies on journalistic content creation, media plurality, and civic accountability.
