- Description:
- GRAND is a five-year, cluster randomized controlled trial. The study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, [ID#: NCT04033003] and is a collaboration between University of Michigan in the United States and the Dodowa Health Research Center in Ghana. , The study setting for GRAND is four districts (Akwapim North, Yilo Krobo, Nsawam-Adoagyiri, and Lower Manya Krobo) within the Eastern Region of Ghana. Health facilities were selected based the number ANC registrants per month and average gestational age of women at registration in each facility., and Facilities were then matched based on facility type, district, and number of monthly ANC registrants. A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 14 facilities in four districts of the Eastern Region of Ghana. Health facilities were randomized using a matched pairs design; each pair was similar in the number of deliveries and average gestational age of the women at enrollment in antenatal care. The locations of the facilities were far enough apart to avoid cross-group contamination. In each pair of facilities, one was randomly assigned to the intervention (G-ANC) and the other to the control (I-ANC). Recruitment began July 2019 and ended when enrollment targets were met. Data collection ended July 2023 when data collection was complete.

- Description:
- This dataset was generated for our work: "Complex motion of steerable vesicular robots filled with active colloidal rods". In this project, we used Brownian molecular dynamics simulations to study the rich dynamical behavior of rigid kinked vesicles that contain self-propelling rod-shaped particles. We identified that kinks in the vesicle membrane bias the emergent clustering and alignment of the active agents. Based on the system's geometrical and material properties, we were able to design multiple types of directed motion of the vesicle superstructure. This dataset includes simulation data for two-dimensional systems of self-propelling rod particles confined by teardrop-shaped coarse-grained vesicles. The trajectory of each simulation is saved in a GSD format file with parameter metadata in a JSON file. Due to the large number of replicas of each pair of parameters, simulation data were grouped into 5 different folders. Collective quantitative analysis for simulated trajectories was performed with Jupyter Notebook. and Workspaces_simulations.zip contains all the workspaces of simulations Each folder has subfolders called 'dimer' and 'trimer' depending on the length of the propelling rod particles used in the simulation. (Except for the folder 'number-density_16' which has only 'dimer') In the subfolders, we include the Python scripts used in this work for simulating and trajectory analysis for individual trajectory data. The parameter space of each folder is noted in init.py. Analysis_jupyter_notebooks.zip includes Jupyter notebooks that can reproduce the collective analysis done for this work.

- Description:
- Therapeutic mechanisms of human neural stem cells (hNSCs) were studied in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model (5XFAD). hNSCs restored spatial memory abilities in 5XFAD animals; however, amyloid beta levels were unchanged. Spatial transcriptomics was used to probe mechanisms of hNSCs. Focusing on a subset of plaque-induced genes, gene normalization was seen particularly in microglia, confirmed by PROGENy and Cell Chat analyses. and The spatial transcriptomics data from this publication have been deposited in NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (16) and are accessible through GEO Series accession number GSE209583 ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE209583 and enter token gzglogqkvjqrhmt).

- Description:
- Rotating Magnetic Field (RMF) thrusters are a form of electrodeless plasma propulsion. This technology is a low maturity but potentially enabling candidate for high-power in-space propulsion for use with alternative propellants. The purpose of the data here, and the associated publication is to evaluate the phenomenological efficiency modes for this thruster test article to explain and understand its overall efficiency. These modes include divergence, power coupling, mass utilization, and plasma/acceleration efficiency. Additional time-resolved measurements of the internal plasma properties were performed using a triple Langmuir probe to evaluate energy loss processes within the thruster.

- Description:
- The H2O concentration and H2O/Ce ratio in olivine-hosted melt inclusions are high (H2O up to 1410 ppm; H2O/Ce up to 77) in lunar sample 74220 but lower (H2O up to 430 ppm; H2O/Ce up to 9.4) in all other lunar samples studied before this work. This difference is absent for other volatiles (F, S, and Cl) in melt inclusions in 74220 and other lunar samples. Because H2O (or H) is a critical volatile component with significant ramifications on the origin and evolution of the Moon, it is important to understand what causes such a large gap in H2O/Ce ratio between 74220 and other lunar samples. Two explanations have been advanced. One is that volcanic product in sample 74220 has the highest cooling rate and thus best preserved H2O in melt inclusions compared to melt inclusions in other samples. The other explanation is that sample 74220 is a localized heterogeneity enriched in some volatiles. To distinguish the two possibilities, here we present new data from three rapidly cooled lunar samples: olivine-hosted glassy melt inclusions (OHMIs) in 74220 regolith and 79135 regolith breccia, and pyroxene-hosted glassy melt inclusions (PHMIs) in 15597 pigeonite basalts. If the gap is due to the difference in cooling rates, samples with cooling rates between 74220 and other studied lunar samples should have preserved intermediate H2O concentrations and H2O/Ce ratios. Our results show that melt inclusions in 79135 and 15597 contain high H2O concentrations (up to 969 ppm in 79135 and up to 793 ppm in 15597) and high H2O/Ce ratios (up to 21 in 79135 and up to 13 in 15997). Combined with literature data, we confirm that H2O/Ce ratios of different lunar samples are positively correlated to the cooling rates and independent of the type of mare basalts. Our work bridges the big gap in H2O/Ce ratio among 74220 and other lunar samples. We hence reinforce the interpretation that the lunar sample with the highest cooling rate best represents pre-eruptive volatiles in lunar basalts due to the least degassing. H2O, F, P, S and Cl concentrations in the lunar primitive mantle are also estimated in this work. and *** 2024-03-19: In addition to the files in the previous version, this updated deposit contains more data files as the supplementary files of the paper. For example, we added a summary excel file containing data that are used for figures in the paper, and an excel file contains data in the tables of the paper for easy use by readers.

- This merged Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory and atmospheric river dataset contains gridded Goddard Profiling (GPROF) algorithm v7 precipitation rates (Kummerow et al. 2015; Randel et al. 2020), Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) atmospheric water vapor (Meissner et al. 2012), and Mattingly et al. (2018) atmospheric rivers in the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans. The GPROF precipitation rates and RSS atmospheric water vapor are both derived using the GPM Microwave Imager (GMI) brightness temperature observations. The atmospheric river data is derived from MERRA-2 (Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications Reanalysis, Version 2) integrated water vapor transport (Mattingly et al. 2018). , The data coverage starts at the beginning of the GPM data record (GPM launched in Feb 2014 and the processed data coverage starts in May 2014). Subsequent years will be added throughout the lifetime of the project. , The monthly files are compressed into year and basin: either the North Atlantic (NA) or the North Pacific (NP) (e.g., NA_2014) and zipped. The files have the basin name indicated and are by year and month (e.g., gridded_atlantic_201405.nc). The files produced are in NetCDF format ( https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/) and conform to all standard NetCDF metadata conventions ( http://cfconventions.org/cf-conventions/cf-conventions.html), and Kummerow, C.

- Description:
- Hurricane Ike, which struck the United States in September 2008, was the ninth most expensive hurricane in terms of damages. It caused nearly $30 billion in damage, of which nearly $12B were insured losses, after making landfall on the Bolivar Peninsula, Texas. We used the Delft3d-FM/SWAN hydrodynamic and spectral wave model to simulate the storm surge inundation around Galveston Bay during Hurricane Ike. Damage curves were established through the eight hydrodynamic parameters (water depth, flow velocity, unit discharge, flow momentum flux, significant wave height, wave energy flux, total water depth (flow depth plus wave height), and total (flow plus wave) force) simulated by the model. We found that the damage curves are sensitive to the model grid resolution, building elevation, and the number of stories.

- Description:
- Bacteria live in a broad range of environmental temperatures that require adaptations of their RNA sequences to maintain function. Riboswitches are regulatory RNAs that change conformation upon binding of typical metabolite ligands to control bacterial gene expression. The paradigmatic small class-I preQ1 riboswitches from the mesophile Bacillus subtilis (Bsu) and the thermophile Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis (Tte) adopt similar pseudoknot structures when bound to preQ1. Here, we use single-molecule detected chemical denaturation by urea to compare the thermodynamic and kinetic folding properties of the two riboswitches, and the urea-countering effects of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). This data includes the experimental findings and associated analyses detailed in the research article titled "Single-molecule FRET observes opposing effects of urea and TMAO on structurally similar meso- and thermophilic riboswitch RNAs". The data consists of multiple zip files, each representing an experiment that corresponds to the key results in the publication. Each experiment includes movies, qualifying smFRET trajectories, and analysis files related to various conditions within that experimental group.

(2017). Vertical profiles were conducted on each flight to capture the vertical structure and mixing depths of the atmosphere. The data file contains all merged flight data from each flight day.

- Description:
- Results of computer simulation of near Earth space is looked at in a new way to understand how energy moves around the global system. It is found that in addition to a pathway of energy from the outside into the system and back again there is an internal loop which recirculates energy. These new methods will greatly improve our understanding how the whole magnetosphere system evolves and will help address evolution of processes that have space weather impacts.
