- Description:
- 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.

- Description:
- 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.

- Description:
- 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.

- Description:
- 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.

Data and Code to Assess the US EPA School Bus Rebate Program
User Collection

- Pedde, Meredith
- Description:
- We took advantage of the randomized allocation of the US EPA's funding for school bus replacements and retrofits to causally assess the impacts of upgrading buses through the EPA’s national School Bus Rebate Program on various outcomes including attendance, educational performance, and community air quality (PM2.5). Specifically, we used classical intent-to-treat analyses for randomized controlled trials to compare the changes in school district average attendance, test scores (reading language arts and math), and PM2.5 levels after vs before the 2012 through 2017 lotteries by funding selection status. We used overall district attendance rates and average standardized test scores since rates were not available for only school-bus riders.

- Description:
- The survival and beta models forecasting ice cover around the Apostle Island National Lakeshore use Lake Superior surface water temperature data collected from the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL). GLERL hosts Lake Superior surface water temperature data pre-1995 from the Large Lake Thermodynamics Model (LLTM) and post-1995 from the Great Lakes Surface Environmental Analysis (GLSEA). The pre-1995 data is currently being moved and is unavailable from GLERL, and therefore, the (entire) surface water temperature record used by the models is hosted here. Please see the methods for direct data access links. The LLTM, the source of the pre-1995 data, is described in Croley II, T. E., & Assel, R. A. (1994). A one-dimensional ice thermodynamics model for the Laurentian Great Lakes. Water Resources Research, 30(3), 625–639. Documentation on GLSEA can be found on their website.
