- Description:
- This research introduces a novel method to produce biomimetic shapes using low cost soluble 3D printed molds. Mesenchymal stem cells in alginate matrix cell viability was studied. The alginate stem cell structure is made in a construct that is 21 mm wide, 6 mm high, with an arbor diameter of 1 mm (see Combined_Test_Channels.stl). The cells showed 64% survivability at 7 days in the 3D constructs.

SHIFDR: Sub-metered HVAC Implemented For Demand Response
User Collection- Creator:
- Lin, Austin and Mathieu, Johanna
- Description:
- The Sub-metered HVAC Implemented for Demand Response (SHIFDR) dataset is a massive dataset that captures the response of individual commercial building HVAC system components to demand response events. The dataset includes device-level power consumption during demand response events as well as during normal operation. We have organized the data into subsets, with each subset containing data from buildings in different parts of the world. Kindly refer to the README file within each subsection for specific information about how data is organized. Please reach out if you have data that you would like to share, find any mistakes in the data, or have any questions. We are always trying to improve SHIFDR.

- Description:
- Research Overview: In situ magnetic field measurements are often difficult to obtain due to the presence of stray magnetic fields generated by spacecraft electrical subsystems. The conventional solution is to implement strict magnetic cleanliness requirements and place magnetometers on a deployable boom. However, this method is not always feasible on low-cost platforms due to factors such as increased design complexity, increased cost, and volume limitations. To overcome this problem, we propose using the Quad-Mag CubeSat magnetometer with an improved Underdetermined Blind Source Separation (UBSS) noise removal algorithm. The Quad-Mag consists of four magnetometer sensors in a single CubeSat form-factor card that allows distributed measurements of stray magnetic fields. The UBSS algorithm can remove stray magnetic fields without prior knowledge of the magnitude, orientation, or number of noise sources. UBSS is a two-stage algorithm that identifies signals through cluster analysis and separates them through compressive sensing. We use UBSS with single source point (SSP) detection to improve the identification of noise signals and iteratively-weighted compressed sensing to separate noise signals from the ambient magnetic field. Using a mock CubeSat, we demonstrate in the lab that UBSS reduces four noise signals producing more than 100 nT of noise at each magnetometer to below the expected instrument resolution (near 5 nT). Additionally, we show that the integrated Quad-Mag and improved UBSS system works well for 1U, 2U, 3U, and 6U CubeSats in simulation. Our results show that the Quad-Mag and UBSS noise cancellation package enables high-fidelity magnetic field measurements from a CubeSat without a boom.

- Description:
- This is a subset of the SHIFDR dataset collection containing data from 14 buildings in Southeast Michigan. The full dataset collection can be found at https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/data/collections/vh53ww273?locale=en and Organization: We include a subfolder for each building, identified by name. All buildings have been renamed after lakes to protect the identity of the building. Within each building subfolder, there is fan power (i.e. current measurements from which fan power can be computed), building automation system (BAS), whole building electrical load (WBEL), and voltage data collected over the course of our experimentation from 2017 to 2021. All experiments were conducted in the summer months and a full schedule of Demand Response (DR) events is included along with each building in the ‘Event_Schedule.csv’ file. The building information file contains general information about the buildings, pertinent to the experiments we conducted. There is also a folder labeled ‘2021 Preprocessed data’ which contains combined BAS and fan power data from the summer of 2021. This data has been lightly processed to calculate fan power from current measurements and interpolate BAS data to 1 minute intervals. These act as an easy-to-use starting point for data analysis.

Resources for Training Machine Learning Algorithms Using CAM6 Simple Physics Packages
User Collection- Creator:
- Limon, Garrett
- Description:
- The collection contains the code and the data used to train machine learning algorithms to emulate simplified physical parameterizations within the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM6). CAM6 is the atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) within the Community Earth System Model (CESM) framework, developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). GCMs are made up of a dynamical core, responsible for the geophysical fluid flow calculations, and physical parameterization schemes, which estimate various unresolved processes. Simple physics schemes were used to train both random forests and neural networks in the interest of exploring the feasibility of machine learning techniques being used in conjunction with the dynamical core for improved efficiency of future climate and weather models. The results of the research show that various physical forcing tendencies and precipitation rates can be effectively emulated by the machine learning models.

- Description:
- This data provided evidence of the presence of a lower hybrid drift instability in a magnetic nozzle. It was used in DOI: 10.1063/5.0012668 to estimate the effective electron collision frequency that it induced in the context of cross-field electron transport. It is also used to determine the effective reduction in heat flux resulting from propagation along magnetic field lines in an upcoming work.
