- Description:
- This dataset contains images of UV cone nuclei near the retinal margin in live fish. These UV cones express a transgenic fluorescent reporter (that is nuclear-localized and photoconvertible). The most important images in this dataset are: Zoomed-out (1X magnification) images immediately after photoconversion Zoomed-out (1X magnification) images two to four days after photoconversion In the images immediately after photoconversion, we check if the row orientation rotates by more than a certain amount (10 degrees, 12 degrees, 14 degrees, etc.) at the retinal margin. If so, we call the region coinciding with this domain rotation an existing grain boundary. We, then, check where new Y-junctions are incorporated (by the time of later imaging) to see if they are preferentially incorporated near existing grain boundaries.

- Description:
- The largest moon in the solar system, Ganymede, is the only moon known to possess a strong intrinsic magnetic field and a corresponding magnetosphere. Using the latest version of Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF), we study the upstream plasma interactions and dynamics in this sub-Alfvenic system. Results from the Hall MHD and the coupled MHD with embedded Particle-in-Cell (MHD-EPIC) models are compared. We find that under steady upstream conditions, magnetopause reconnection occurs in a non-steady manner. Flux ropes of Ganymede's radius in length form on the magnetopause at a rate about 2/minute and create spatiotemporal variations in plasma and field properties. Upon reaching proper grid resolutions, the MHD-EPIC model can resolve both electron and ion kinetics at the magnetopause and show localized non-gyrotropic behavior inside the diffusion region. The estimated global reconnection rate from the models is about 80 kV with 60% efficiency, and there is weak evidence of about 1 minute periodicity in the temporal variations due to the dynamic reconnection process.

- Description:
- This Work contains Supplemental File S3-1, Supplemental File S3-2, Supplemental Table S4-1, Supplemental Table S4-2, and Supplemental Table S4-3 from the dissertation entitled "Genetic Determinants of the Development and Evolution of Drosophila Pigmentation" by Abigail M. Lamb. Supplemental File S3-1 is entitled "Raw data measuring CHC abundance" and contains the measurements of cuticular hydrocarbons used for analysis in Chapter 3 of the dissertation. These data are meant to be read into the R code contained in Supplemental File S3-2, "R code used for analyzing CHC data" to reproduce the results reported in Chapter 3 of the dissertation. Supplemental Tables S4-1, S4-2, and S4-3 contain original phenotyping data, notes, and summary data from the miRNA overexpression and competitive inhibition experiments described in Chapter 4 of the dissertation.

- Description:
- Laboratory experiments were conducted to compare iron precipitation under completely ferruginous conditions with solutions that contain a low amount of oxidized iron, which can be seen as a proxy for iron oxidation in the environment. and Some XRD files are from a copper source (Cu_XRD) and others are from a cobalt source (Co_XRD).

- Description:
- Contemporary material characterisation techniques that leverage deformation fields and the weak form of the equilibrium equations face challenges in the numerical solution procedure of the inverse characterisation problem. As material models and descriptions differ, so too must the approaches for identifying parameters and their corresponding mechanisms. The widely-used Ogden material model can be comprised of a chosen number of terms of the same mathematical form, which presents challenges of parsimonious representation, interpretability, and stability. Robust techniques for system identification of any material model are important to assess and improve experimental design, in addition to their centrality to forward computations. Using fully 3D displacement fields acquired in silicone elastomers with our recently-developed magnetic resonance cartography (MR-u) technique on the order of ~20,000 points per sample, we leverage PDE-constrained optimisation as the basis of variational system identification of our material parameters. We incorporate the statistical F-test to maintain parsimony of representation. Using a new, local deformation decomposition locally into mixtures of biaxial and uniaxial tensile states, we evaluate experiments based on an analytical sensitivity metric, and discuss the implications for experimental design. This repository contains the acquired data and MRI processing code used in this work.

- Creator:
- Meichen Liu
- Description:
- We use waveform data from the USArray and spectral-element method synthetics for 3-D seismic models. The recorded waveform data are downloaded from Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) which is open to everyone. The synthetic waveform data are generated by the SPECMFEM3D_Globe software that was downloaded from the Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics ( https://geodynamics.org/). This dataset includes the scripts we use to automatically download data from IRIS, the selection of data, and the application of the CRP method. In doing this, we use the TauP toolkit which is free to download ( https://www.seis.sc.edu/taup/) to compute the travel time.

- Description:
- This set of Madymo models were setup with a convertible seat and the HIII 3YO child ATD model. Both FMVSS 213 and captain chair were simulated with varied vehicle interior (sedan vs. minivan) and car seat installation methods (LATCH vs. 3pt belt). Although the models provided here only represent the frontal crash condition, simulations with a wide range of impact directions can be simulated.
