Generation of C2+ compounds using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water provides a promising path for carbon neutrality. The exploration of a catalyst to break the bottleneck of C-C coupling, for constructing a rational artificial photosynthesis integrated device, is at the core. Herein, based on operando spectroscopy measurements, theoretical calculations, and feedstock experiments, it is discovered that gold, in conjunction with iridium, can catalyze the reduction of CO2, achieving C-C coupling by insertion of CO2 into -CH3. Owing to a combination of optoelectronic and catalytic properties, the assembly of AuIr with InGaN nanowires on silicon (AuIr@InGaN NWs/Si) enables the achievement of a C2H6 activity of 58.8 mmol‧g-1‧h-1 with a turnover number of 54,595 over 60 hours. A light-to-fuels efficiency of ~0.59% for solar fuels production from CO2 and H2O is achieved without any other energy inputs. This work provides a carbon-negative path for producing higher order C compounds.
This dataset contains the results of a survey of mouse handling methods by personnel working with laboratory mice. The survey included questions about preferred handling methods, barriers to use of refined handling methods, and a knowledge quiz about refined mouse handling. Data was collected via Qualtrics survey as described in the methodology section. This dataset is associated with the following publication, accepted by PLOS One:

The data were used to create number density functions of supermassive black holes (SMBH) for redshifts 0.5 < z < 3.0. The goal of this research is to discern whether galaxy-black hole scaling relations produce black hole masses that are consistent with each other at high redshift. These number density functions were used to compare the high-mass SMBH distributions from each relation. In massive black hole binary based models, the highest-mass SMBHs have a significant influence on the gravitational wave background characteristic strain amplitude. To inform our understanding of the gravitational wave background, that pulsar timing arrays now show evidence for, we need to therefore have a solid foundation on the underlying SMBH population. In our paper we found that using different galaxy properties to inform our estimations of SMBH mass resulted in different distributions, especially at the high-mass end.
Healthy full-term infants were enrolled in a longitudinal study designed to examine the development of infant eating behavior. Infant weight and length was measured, mothers completed questionnaires regarding infant eating behaviors, and infant capacity for regulation of energy intake was evaluated by comparing intake between two days: one with feedings given on demand and one with feedings offered hourly. The infant's ability to downregulate intake in response to more frequent feedings was calculated.

Healthy full-term infants were enrolled in a longitudinal study designed to examine the development of infant eating behavior. Infant weight and length was measured, mothers completed questionnaires regarding infant eating behaviors, and infant sucking behavior was quantified using the NFANT device during a typical feeding. The predictive value of the NFANT-generated sucking metrics for infant weight gain was evaluated.

GIS (.lpkx) data layers that inform of areas to construct new rain gardens in Washtenaw County, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Data layers can be opened with a GIS program. There is a single .lpkx dataset that contains four layers. The first layer contains 'Wildlife Corridors' which contains information on where to prioritize new green infrastructure based on how well-connected different patches of forested areas are. The second layer, 'Social Inequality', shows where to prioritize new rain gardens based on social inequality criteria. The 'Creeksheds and Future Runoff' contains information on future changes in precipitation runoff based on climate change projections of rainfall. Lastly, 'Runoff/Water Quality' is a layer that includes a priority map regarding where new rain gardens should be developed based on areas that are most at risk of poor water quality and enhanced surface run-off.
The project was completed for Washtenaw County Water Resources as part of a course taught at the University of Michigan, CLIMATE 592. A description of the course is also provided: "Introduction to individual and team research on real-world problems in the area of applied climate. On a research project started in CLIMATE 591 and guided by a mentor from a commercial or government laboratory, students will apply the principles of risk analysis and objective assessment of adaptive strategies".

The IN were sampled during and after ICB and sequenced to identify gene expression signatures that correlated with sensitivity or resistance. We also analyzed gene expression at the IN prior to ICB treatment to identify markers predicting therapeutic response. Longitudinally interrogating an IN, to monitor changes associated with ICB response, presents a new opportunity to personalize care and investigate mechanisms underlying treatment resistance.
Statistical study of residuals between Swarm observations and IGRF-13 geomagnetic field model larger than 300 nT in northern and southern hemisphere. Data analysis done on https://viresclient.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
These data are generated to conduct a statistical study of the locations of large residuals in the two hemispheres for a better understanding of potential error in satellite aviation application when using Earth magnetic field models like IGRF as references, as well as the energy transfer in the magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling.
Interhemispheric asymmetries are found in the locations of the large residuals due to the difference in geographic pole locations.
