- Creator:
- Smith, Joeseph P., Fry, Lauren M., Do, Hong X., and Gronewold, Andrew D.
- Description:
- This collection contains estimates of the water balance of the Laurentian Great Lakes that were produced by the Large Lakes Statistical Water Balance Model (L2SWBM). Each data set has a different configuration and was used as the supplementary for a published peer-reviewed article (see "Citations to related material" section in the metadata of individual data sets). The key variables that were estimated by the L2SWBM are (1) over-lake precipitation, (2) over-lake evaporation, (3) lateral runoff, (4) connecting-channel outflows, (5) diversions, and (6) predictive changes in lake storage. and Contact: Andrew Gronewold Office: 4040 Dana Phone: (734) 764-6286 Email: drewgron@umich.edu

- Description:
- Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of cranial bones. The goal of this study was to determine if delivery of recombinant tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) could prevent or diminish the severity of craniosynostosis in a C57BL/6 FGFR2C342Y/+ model of neonatal onset craniosynostosis or a BALB/c FGFR2C342Y/+ model of postnatal onset craniosynostosis. Mice were injected with a lentivirus encoding a mineral targeted form of TNAP immediately after birth. Cranial bone fusion as well as cranial bone volume, mineral content and density were assessed by micro computed tomography. Craniofacial shape was measured with calipers., Alkaline phosphatase, alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartate amino transferase (AST) activity levels were measured in serum. Neonatal delivery of TNAP diminished craniosynostosis severity from 94% suture obliteration in vehicle treated mice to 67% suture obliteration in treated mice, p<0.02) and the incidence of malocclusion from 82.4% to 34.7% (p<0.03), with no effect on cranial bone in C57BL/6 FGFR2C342Y/+ mice. In contrast, treatment with TNAP improved cranial bone volume (p< 0.01), density (p< 0.01) and mineral content (p< 0.01) but had no effect on craniosynostosis or malocclusion in BALB/c FGFR2C342Y/+ mice. , These results indicate that post-natal recombinant TNAP enzyme therapy diminishes craniosynostosis severity in the C57BL/6 FGFR2C342Y/+ neonatal onset mouse model of Crouzon syndrome, and that effects of exogenous TNAP are genetic background dependent., and Included in this collection is one set of images representing the C57BL/6 FGFR2C342Y/+ model of neonatal onset craniosynostosis, and one for the BALB/c FGFR2C342Y/+ model of postnatal onset craniosynostosis

Bozo languages of Mali (spreadsheets, media)
User Collection
- Creator:
- Heath, Jeffrey G.
- Description:
- This collection will archive lexical spreadsheets, audio files, geographic information, images, and videos that complement the reference grammars in pdf and docx form in the collection “Bozo languages of Mali (documents)” that are archived in Deep Blue Documents ( https://dx.doi.org/10.7302/6632). See the “readme” for that collection and the introductory material in the reference grammars for general information about the languages and the fieldwork., The initial material archived in the present collection consists of audio files. They are recordings of narratives, interviews, and conversations. Some of them have been transcribed and are presented as appendices in the reference grammars. Others have not been transcribed; they are presented here in the hope that they can eventually be transcribed or at least listened to by native speakers. If the author is able to transcribe some of them in the future, the transcriptions will be added here (and to the Deep Blue Documents collection)., Many of the recordings, as well as most of the images and videos to be added to this collection, have been made by project assistant Minkailou Djiguiba. He has courageously traveled into Bozo-speaking zones, some of which are highly insecure, to do this work. In addition, he has been instrumental in recruiting and transporting Bozo speakers to the author’s base in Bobo Dioulasso where much of the grammatical and lexical work has been done., and The author’s fieldwork is supported by grant PD-1941828 (2020-2024) from the National Science Foundation, Documenting Endangered Languages program, which is also supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Central Mali documentary videos
User Collection
- Creator:
- Heath, Jeffrey G.
- Description:
- Short documentary videos of practical activities and cultural events of Dogon, Fulbe, Songhay, and Bangande ethnic groups of eastern Central Mali. The videos were byproducts of linguistic research on the local language. They are presented here in three formats: wmv, avi, and either qt or mov. See the "readme" files in each work for a summary of the videos in it. and The footage was shot with various digital cameras. The oldest videos (2010 and one or two from 2011) were edited using iMovie. The later videos were edited using AVS editing software. Several of the 2010 videos, referred to as "compilations," are simple sequences of short clips that combine to illustrate a complex activity such as extracting oil from nuts. The later videos are in more flowing documentary form with overlaid titles in English. In some cases, vocabulary from the relevant native language is included in the titles.

- Description:
- The primary goal of this project was to identify domains of infant eating behavior and their trajectories over the first year of life. A convenience sample of 284 mother-infant dyads was recruited and enrolled from communities within a 1-hour driving distance of Ann Arbor, Michigan, via social media; flyers in outpatient pediatric clinics and community settings; and targeted outreach by telephone, email, and mail to pregnant women and mothers of newborn infants receiving care within the University of Michigan health system between October 2015 and February 2019. The planned sample size was based on a priori power calculations anticipating 3-5 eating behavior factors, each with 3 different trajectories, providing 81% power to detect a 10% or more change in the likelihood of exhibiting one of an anticipated 3 trajectory patterns of infant growth; the ultimate sample size of 284 was based on feasibility related to recruitment and retention. , The study included a repeated-measures, within-participant experimental design embedded within a longitudinal observational cohort study. The goal was to examine the development of infant eating behavior longitudinally at ages 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 months based on data collected from questionnaires, eating behavior experiments, and anthropometry via home visits by trained research staff. The study was described to participants as seeking to understand infant eating behavior and interactions between mothers and babies in the first year after birth. Inclusion criteria were gestational age of 37.0 to 42.0 weeks, weight appropriate for gestational age, no significant perinatal or neonatal complications, biological mother was the legal and custodial guardian, and infant’s having had consumed 2 oz or more in 1 feeding from an artificial nipple at least once per week. Exclusion criteria were mother not fluent in English; mother younger than 18 years; infant medical problems or diagnosis affecting current or future eating, growth, or development; or child protective services involvement. Mothers provided written informed consent for themselves and their infants. The study was approved by the University of Michigan institutional review board. To facilitate recruitment, dyads could be enrolled at 1 of 3 age points up to and including age 4 months; data collected at enrollment are referred to as baseline. , and Mothers responded to questionnaires on demographics, psychosocial stress, perinatal history, feeding behaviors and practices, sleep, their own eating behaviors, infant temperament, their own and the infant’s diet, and infant eating behaviors. Maternal and infant anthropometry was measured by trained research assistants. Mother-infant dyads participated in protocols designed to measure infant response to sucrose, infant ability to delay gratification, infant response to a challenging feeding, the relative reinforcing value of food, eating in the absence of hunger, capacity for regulation of energy intake in response to more frequent feedings and in response to increased caloric density, and response to novel and familiar foods. Maternal feeding behaviors were also coded from video. Biological samples included infant stool and maternal breastmilk.
