- Description:
- Solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is an emission of photons during photosynthesis that can be used to make inferences about gross primary productivity (GPP) and carbon uptake of vegetation. With a recent proliferation of available satellite-based observations of SIF, there is much interest in assessing how SIF relates to GPP across multiple temporal and spatial scales. Tower-based observations of SIF at high temporal resolution provide a key link between satellite data and local surface-based observations of ecosystem productivity. We collected tower-based observations of SIF and several vegetation indices using a PhotoSpec spectrometer system deployed on the AmeriFlux tower at UMBS (US-UMB). As the data were collected alongside concurrent eddy flux observations of carbon exchange, they provide a unique opportunity to explore how SIF and other vegetation signals relate to GPP in a temperate deciduous forest and better inform the interpretation of satellite observations.

- Description:
- The data presented here were collected in the course of archaeological survey and excavation in the region of Shkodër in northern Albania, carried out between 2010 and 2014, with a follow-up visit in 2016. The Projekti Arkeologjik i Shkodrës (PASH) was co-directed by Michael L. Galaty (University of Michigan) and Lorenc Bejko (University of Tirana) and was sponsored by the United States National Science Foundation (NSF BCS1220016), The University of Tirana, Millsaps College, Mississippi State University, and the University of Michigan. The data presented here accompany a two-volume research report, published by the University of Michigan Museum of Anthropological Archaeology Press (Galaty and Bejko 2023) - Volume 1 ( https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.12201317) and Volume 2 ( https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.12208577)., The county (Alb. qarqe) of Shkodër is located in northern Albania. It is bordered to the south by the Adriatic Sea and to the northwest by the country of Montenegro. The counties of Lezhë and Kukës are situated to the south and east, respectively. Shkodër Lake is situated along the border with Montenegro. It is the largest freshwater lake in the Balkans. The city of Shkodër is the fifth largest in Albania. It was founded in the Bronze Age and became a Roman colony in 168 BC, following the Illyrian Wars. Several major rivers intersect at Shkodër, including the Buna, which exits Shkodër Lake, the Drin, and the Kir. The latter two rivers flow from the Bjeshkët e Nemuna, the Albanian Alps, and provide access across the mountains, to the Balkan interior, including metal-rich Kosovo. Several very important ancient sites are located to the south of Shkodër, close to the Adriatic coast: Lezhë (ancient Lissus), Apollonia, and Durrës (ancient Epidamnus, Dyrrachium under the Romans). The latter two cities were Greek colonies, founded during the Archaic period. All three became Roman colonies., and PASH was designed to investigate shifts, through time, in Shkodër towards increased social stratification and hierarchy. These shifts commenced during prehistory and are marked by two dramatic changes in the regional landscape: new settlement in defensible “hillforts” and burial in rock and earth mounds. We wondered what factors – environment, settlement, status, conflict, subsistence, trade, migration – might have allowed or encouraged these changes.

- Description:
- The University of Michigan’s Head and Neck Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) included an epidemiology project that approached every previously untreated adult head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSCC) patient evaluated in the multidisciplinary Head and Neck Oncology Program of the University of Michigan (UM; Ann Arbor, MI) Comprehensive Cancer Center for participation in our longitudinal epidemiology study. This analytic dataset includes the most commonly requested covariates and outcome variables for survival analysis of this cohort of HNSCC patients. Data cleaning and creation of this analysis dataset was performed with SAS software v 9.3 (Carey,NC) by a biostatistician supporting multiple projects in the University of Michigan’s Head and Neck Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) and is available in RedCap for UM investigators to join with discipline specific data collected on the same cohort through a de-identified ID link.

- Description:
- This study investigated psychological, biological/neural, and environmental factors related to adverse food advertising effects on adolescent weight. Participants were asked to complete an fMRI task measuring neural response to food commercials (unhealthy, healthier) and non-food commercials. As part of the larger study, participants also completed demographic questions, self-report measures, behavioral tasks (i.e., food go/no-go task, food delay discounting task, progressive reinforcement paradigm), an ad-libitum food consumption task, and height and weight measures.

- Description:
- 1.5 years of Polar UVI data was used to construct the Feature Tracking empirical model of Auroral Precipitation (FTA). A cumulative energy grid was tracked with the energy flux and the latitude position in each MLT bin for individual images. The auroral characteristics show linear relationships with the AE index depending on the MLT region. Thus, the FTA model was constructed to describe the global energy flux and the averaged energy as a function of the AE index based on the LBHl and LBHs emissions. Compared with two other empirical models, FTA predicted more consistent aurora with the observations on 17 March 2013 at higher activity levels.

- Description:
- The study investigates co-occurring PTSD and food addiction in a community sample with results stratified by gender. Data for co-occurring problematic substance use and obesity are also included to allow for within-sample comparison. Participants were asked to complete self-report measures on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), food addiction, problematic substance use (alcohol, cannabis, smoking, and nicotine vaping), and BMI. Participants also completed demographic questions. Pearson zero-order correlation analyses were conducted between primary variables of interest and demographic variables to identify potential sociodemographic covariates. Subjective socioeconomic status (SES) and age were both included as covariates in the current model. We estimated unadjusted and adjusted risk ratios among food addiction, PTSD, problematic substance use (i.e., alcohol, cannabis, smoking, and nicotine vaping) and obesity using Modified Poisson regression with robust standard error estimations. We ran these analyses for the whole same and stratified by gender identity. Food addiction co-occurred with PTSD at comparable or stronger rates than other types of problematic substance use (alcohol, cannabis, smoking, nicotine vaping). Results suggested that this risk may be particularly high for men compared to women. It may be important to assess for food addiction in those with PTSD to assist in identifying high-risk groups.
