- Description:
- This is the flora-fauna lexical material obtained in the course of more general lexical and grammatical fieldwork on languages of central-eastern Mali (Dogon, Songhay, Bangime, Bozo). The spreadsheets in this work, duplicated in xlsx and csv formants, present our flora-fauna lexicons as of early 2019 for many languages of central-eastern Mali, and certain languages of southwestern Burkina Faso. The Malian data is in two spreadsheets (flora, fauna), while the Burkina data is in separate spreadsheets for flora, birds, fish, insects, lizards and snakes, and mammals. Please begin with the “readme” document.

- Description:
- The spreadsheets (in csv and xlsx formats) have columns for botanical family, genus-species binomials, synonymy (outdated binomials) on the left, folllowed by columns with native terms in several Dogon languages and in Bangime. Dogon languages included are Toro Tegu, Ben Tey, Bankan Tey, Nanga, Jamsay (main dialect), Perge Tegu (Jamsay of Pergé village), Gourou (aberrant variety of Jamsay), Togo Kan, Yorno So and Ibi So (in Toro So dialect complex), Donno So, Tomo Kan (of Segué and of Diangassagou), Tomo Kan, Dogul Dom, Tebul Ure, Yanda Dom, Najamba, Tiranige, Mombo, Ampari, Bunoge, and Penange. JH in column headings indicates that the material is from Dr. Heath's fieldwork. and For images of many of these plants, see the collection "Mali flora images" in Deep Blue Data ( https://doi.org/10.7302/aef4-fk26).

- Description:
- These materials are SPSS datasets and syntax files related to a project investigating the weight given to various moral domains when forming impressions of others. We looked at how participants' impressions of the moral character of social targets varied when provided with information that those targets behaved in ways that upheld or violated various moral domains. Following this, we also looked at whether participants' willingness to cooperate with a target changed based on those behaviors, and whether judgments following information about the social targets remained robust under cognitive load.

- Description:
- Voice-cloning (VC) systems have seen an exceptional increase in the realism of synthesized speech in recent years. The high quality of synthesized speech and the availability of low-cost VC services have given rise to many potential abuses of this technology such as online smearing campaigns and dissemination of fabricated information etc. A number of detection methodologies have been proposed over the years that can detect voice spoofs with reasonably good accuracy. However, these methodologies are mostly evaluated on clean audio databases, such as Asvspoof 2019. This research aims to evaluate state-of-the-art (SOTA) Audio Spoof Detection approaches in the presence of laundering attacks. In that regard, a new laundering attack database, called ASVspoof Laundering Database, is created. This database is based on the ASVspoof 2019 LA eval database comprising a total of 1388.22 hours of audio recordings. Seven SOTA audio spoof detection approaches are evaluated on this laundered database. The results indicate that SOTA systems perform poorly in the presence of aggressive laundering attacks, especially reverberation and additive noise attacks. This suggests the need for robust audio spoof detection.

- Description:
- Tails used as inertial appendages induce body rotations of animals and robots---a phenomenon that is governed largely by the ratio of the body and tail moments of inertia. However, vertebrate tails have more degrees of freedom (e.g., number of joints, rotational axes) than most current theoretical models and robotic tails. To understand how morphology affects inertial appendage function, we developed an optimization-based approach that finds the maximally effective tail trajectory and measures error from a target trajectory. For tails of equal total length and mass, increasing the number of equal-length joints increased the complexity of maximally effective tail motions. When we optimized the relative lengths of tail bones while keeping the total tail length, mass, and number of joints the same, this optimization-based approach found that the lengths match the pattern found in the tail bones of mammals specialized for inertial maneuvering. In both experiments, adding joints enhanced the performance of the inertial appendage, but with diminishing returns, largely due to the total control effort constraint. This optimization-based simulation can compare the maximum performance of diverse inertial appendages that dynamically vary in moment of inertia in 3D space, predict inertial capabilities from skeletal data, and inform the design of robotic inertial appendages.

- Description:
- This study analyzes correlations between magnetic field data from closely-spaced pairs of ground magnetometers to observe the spatial scale of ionospheric current signatures. Correlations were mainly calculated in 7.5 minute intervals for periods of multiple days. Distributions were taken from the collection of these 7.5 minute intervals to identify the amount of time where the magnetometers were observing "similar" or "different" ionospheric signatures. The raw magnetometer data was taken from two geomagnetic storms: one taking place on 7-8 September, 2017, and the other taking place on 23-24 March, 2023. These periods were selected due to the presence of both high and low geomagnetic activity. The final distributions calculated from this analysis are available in Correlation_Distributions.csv.

- Description:
- In this study, 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 on students' educational performance through the EPA’s national School Bus Rebate Program. Specifically, we used classical intent-to-treat analyses for randomized controlled trials to compare the change in school district level reading and language arts and math standardized test scores after vs before the 2012 through 2016 lotteries by funding selection status . We used overall district average standardized test scores since rates were not available for only school-bus riders.
