- Description:
- The three approaches used three distinct datasets named as follows: Historicalwater_levels.csv, Historical_Precipitation.csv, and Bayesian Statistical dataset.csv. These files are accessible using Microsoft Office or similar software. The machine learning models are developed in Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb) files, named according to the datasets they utilize. However, for the third approach, the models are named Random Forest, LSTM Model Base, and Multivariate LSTM Models. More details are available on the Shah_Bhavarth_Readme.txt. These notebooks can be accessed through Python, Project Jupyter, or Google Colab, and dependencies include libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, Scikit-learn, Keras, and TensorFlow. The supplementary material also includes Excel files for stage-curve calculations and diversions, named Water_levels_Stage_Curve_Calculations1970-2018.xlsx and Diversions_calculation.xlsx, respectively.

- Description:
- Accurate estimation of hydro-meteorological variables is essential for adaptive water management in the North American Laurentian Great Lakes. However, only a limited number of monthly datasets are available nowadays that encompass all components of net basin supply (NBS), such as over-lake precipitation (P), evaporation (E), and total runoff (R). To address this gap, we developed a daily hydro-meteorological dataset covering an extended period from 1979 to 2022 for each of the Great Lakes. The daily P and E were derived from six global gridded reanalysis climate datasets (GGRCD) that include both P and E estimates, and R was calculated from National Water Model (NWM) simulations. Ensemble mean values of the difference between P and E (P – E) and NBS were obtained by analyzing daily P, E, and R. Monthly averaged values derived from our new daily dataset were validated against existing monthly datasets. This daily hydro-meteorological dataset has the potential to serve as a validation resource for current data and analysis of individual NBS components. Additionally, it could offer a comprehensive depiction of weather and hydrological processes in the Great Lakes region, including the ability to record extreme events, facilitate enhanced seasonal analysis, and support hydrologic model development and calibration. The source code and data representation/analysis figures are also made available in the data repository.

- Description:
- In the recent geological past, Earth’s magnetic field reduced to 4% of the modern values and the magnetic poles moved severely apart from the geographic poles causing the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion, which happened about 41 millennia ago. The excursion lasted for about two millennia, with the peak strength reduction and dipole tilting lasting for a shorter period of 300 years. During this period, the geomagnetic field exhibited significant differences from the modern nearly-aligned dipolar field, causing non-dipole variables to mimic a magnetic field akin to the outer planets while displaying a significantly reduced magnetic strength. However, the precise magnetospheric configuration and their electrodynamic coupling with the atmosphere have remained critically understudied. This dataset contains the first space plasma investigation of the exact geomagnetic conditions in the near-Earth space environment during the excursion. The study contains a full 3D reconstruction and analysis of the geospace system including the intrinsic geomagnetic field, magnetospheric system and the upper atmosphere, linked in sequence using feedback channels for distinct temporal epochs. The reconstruction was conducted using the LSMOD.2 model, Block Adaptive Tree Solar wind-Roe-Upwind Scheme (BATS-R-US) Model and the MAGnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere (MAGNIT) Auroral Precipitation Model, all of which are publicly-available models. The dataset contains the raw data from each of these models, in addition to the images/post-processing results generated using these models. Paleomagnetic data produced by LSMOD.2 can be visualized using a combination of linear plotting and contour plotting tools available commonly in visualization software like Python (e.g. Python/Matplotlib) or MATLAB. Standard tools to read and visualize BATS-R-US and MAGNIT output are already publicly available using IDL and Python (see SpacePy/PyBats - https://spacepy.github.io/pybats.html). For information and details about the post-processed data, visualization and analysis, please contact the authors for details. The anthropological dataset can be visualized using a shape file reader (e.g. Python/GeoPandas) and a linear plotting tool (e.g. Python/Matplotlib).

- Description:
- As part of a project to develop side impact test procedures for evaluating wheelchairs, wheelchair tiedowns and occupant restraint systems (WTORS), and vehicle-based occupant protection systems for wheelchair seating stations, we created validated finite element (FE) models to support procedure development. Models were constructed using LS-DYNA. Dynamic sled tests were performed to validate the FE models of surrogate fixtures and commercial hardware. Validated FE models were developed for the Surrogate wheelchair base (SWCB), Surrogate wheelchair for side impact (SWCSI), a manual wheelchair (Ki Mobility Catalyst 5), and a power wheelchair (Quantum Rehab Edge 2.0). Additional FE models of a heavy-duty anchor meeting the Universal Docking Interface Geometry (UDIG), surrogate four-point strap tiedowns (SWTORS), a traditional docking station, and the surrogate wall fixture were also developed.

- Description:
- This footage is an output of a USDOT-funded project titled "Development of Machine-Learning Models for Autonomous Vehicle Decisions on Weaving Sections of Freeway Ramps." It showcases an automated weaving maneuver within an augmented reality environment. During the demonstration, Mcity's automated vehicle navigates through a highway weaving section, making a lane change while interacting with a virtual vehicle. In this instance, Mcity's vehicle was operated by automated driving systems, which executed the lane change based on the detection for external environmental factors and parameter inputs received from the virtual vehicle.

- Description:
- This dataset is part of a collection created to facilitate research in the use of novel sensors for autonomous vehicle perception. , The dataset collection platform is a Ford Fusion vehicle with a roof-mounted novel sensing suite, which specifically consists of forward-facing stereo uncooled thermal cameras (FLIR 40640U050-6PAAX), event cameras (iniVation DVXplorer), monochrome cameras (FLIR BFS-PGE-16S2M), and RGB cameras (FLIR BFS-PGE-50S5C) time synchronized with ground truth poses from a high precision navigation system. , Further information and resources (such as software tools for converting, managing, and viewing data files) are available on the project website: https://umautobots.github.io/nsavp , and CHANGE NOTICE (January 2024): We identified an error in our timestamp post-processing procedure that caused all camera timestamps to be offset by the exposure time of one of the cameras. We corrected the error, applied the corrected post-processing, and reuploaded the corrected files. The change impacts all camera data files. Prior to the change, the timestamps between the cameras were synchronized with submillisecond accuracy, but the camera and ground truth pose timestamps were offset by up to 0.4 ms, 3 ms, and 15 ms in the afternoon, sunset, and night sequences, respectively. This amounted in up to ~0.25 meters of position error in the night sequences. For consistency, camera calibration was rerun with the corrected calibration sequence files. The camera calibration results have therefore been updated as well, although they have not changed significantly. Finally, we previously downsampled the frame data in the uploaded calibration seqeuence, but we decided to provide the full frame data in the reupload.

- Description:
- The AI4Shipwrecks dataset contains sidescan sonar images of shipwrecks and corresponding binary labels collected during 2022 and 2023 at the NOAA Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary in Alpena, MI. The data collection platform was an Iver3 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) equipped with an EdgeTech 2205 dual-frequency ultra-high resolution sidescan sonar and 3D bathymetric system. The labels were compiled from reference labels created by experts in marine archaeology. The intended use of this dataset is to encourage development of semantic segmentation, object detection, or anomaly detection algorithms in the computer vision field. Comparisons of state-of-the-art segmentation networks on our dataset are shown in the paper. , The file structure is organized as described in the README.txt file, where images in 'images' directories are the waterfall product of sidescan sonar surveys, and images in 'labels' directories are binary representations of expert labels. Images across the 'images' and 'labels' directories are correlated by having identical filenames. In the label images, a pixel value of '0' represents the non-shipwreck/other class and '1' represents the shipwreck class for the correspondingly named image (<wreck_name>_<##>.png) in the images directory. , and The project webpage can be found at: https://umfieldrobotics.github.io/ai4shipwrecks/

- Description:
- Urban agriculture (UA) is a widely proposed strategy to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. However, its carbon footprint remains understudied. In fact, the few existing studies suggest that UA may be worse for the climate than conventional agriculture. This is the first large-scale study to resolve this uncertainty across cities and types of UA, employing citizen science at 73 UA sites in Europe and the United States to compare UA products to food from conventional farms. The results reveal that food from UA is six times as carbon intensive as conventional agriculture (420g vs 70g CO2 equivalent per serving). Some UA crops (e.g., tomatoes) and sites (e.g., 25% of individually-managed gardens), however, outperform conventional agriculture. These exceptions suggest that UA practitioners can reduce their climate impacts by cultivating crops that are typically greenhouse grown or air-freighted, maintaining UA sites for many years, and leveraging waste as inputs.This database contains the necessary reference material to trace the path of our analysis from raw garden data to carbon footprint and nutrient results. It also contains the final results of the analyses in various extended forms not available in the publication. For more information, see manuscript at link below.

- Description:
- A growing body of work has linked key biological activities to the mechanical properties of cellular membranes, and as a means of identification. Here, we present a computational approach to simulate and compare the vibrational spectra in the low-THz region for mammalian and bacterial membranes, investigating the effect of membrane asymmetry and composition, as well as the conserved frequencies of a specific cell. We find that asymmetry does not impact the vibrational spectra, and the impact of sterols depends on the mobility of the components of the membrane. We demonstrate that vibrational spectra can be used to distinguish between membranes and, therefore, could be used in identification of different organisms. The method presented, here, can be immediately extended to other biological structures (e.g., amyloid fibers, polysaccharides, and protein-ligand structures) in order to fingerprint and understand vibrations of numerous biologically-relevant nanoscale structures.

- Amyloid nanofibers are abundant in microorganisms and are integral components of many biofilms, serving various purposes, from virulent to structural. Nonetheless, the precise characterization of bacterial amyloid nanofibers has been elusive, with incomplete and contradicting results. The present work focuses on the molecular details and characteristics of PSMa1-derived functional amyloids present in Staphylococcus aureus biofilms, using a combination of computational and experimental techniques, to develop a model that can aid the design of compounds to control amyloid formation. Results from molecular dynamics simulations, guided and supported by spectroscopy and microscopy, show that PSMa1 amyloid nanofibers present a helical structure formed by two protofilaments, have an average diameter of about 12 nm, and adopt a left-handed helicity with a periodicity of approximately 72 nm. The chirality of the self-assembled nanofibers, an intrinsic geometric property of its constituent peptides, is central to determining the fibers' lateral growth.
