- Description:
- Free-roaming domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) pose major conservation and public health risks worldwide. To better understand the threat of domestic dogs to wildlife and people and add to the growing literature on free-roaming dog ecology, a study was conducted to estimate the dog population in Tulum, Mexico. A modified mark-recapture technique and program MARK were used to obtain dog population estimates along six different transects dividing the city.

- Description:
- Animals in nature use diverse strategies to evade or deter their predators, including many vivid behavioural displays only qualitatively described from field encounters with natural predators or humans. Within venomous snake mimicry, stereotyped anti-predator displays are suggested to be a critical component of the warning signal given by toxic models and thus under strong selection for independent convergence in mimetic species. However, no studies have systematically quantified variation in snake anti-predator displays across taxonomically broad clades to test how these behaviours evolve across species within a phylogenetic comparative methods framework. Here we describe a new, high-throughput approach for collecting and scoring snake anti-predator displays in the field that demonstrates both low observer bias and infinite extension across any species. Then, we show our method's utility in quantitatively comparing the behaviour of 20 highly-divergent snake species from the Amazonian lowlands of Peru. We found that a simple experimental setup varying simulated predator cues was very successful in eliciting anti-predator displays across species and that high-speed videography captured a greater diversity of behavioural responses than described in the literature. We also found that although different display components evolve at different rates with complicated patterns of covariance, there is clear evidence of evolutionary convergence in anti-predator displays among distantly related elapid coral snakes and their colubrid mimics. We conclude that our approach significantly advances opportunity for future analyses of snake behaviour, kinematics, and the evolution of anti-predator signals more generally, especially macroevolutionary analyses across clades with similarly intractable behavioural diversity.

- Description:
- Video documentation of natural behavior in wild snakes is very rare, so film from opportunistic encounters of snake interactions is very valuable to scientific researchers. Our research team includes leading experts on this species of snake (the Western Groundsnake, Sonora semiannulata), so we worked with the observer to submit a formal description of the encounter to a peer-reviewed journal and make the information available to the broader research community.

- Description:
- This dataset supports the findings of Hille et al. (2021, in review) in Geophysical Research Letters. In this article, we present a multivariate analysis of extreme storm events that occur during the Indian summer monsoon over the Himalayan Range in central Nepal. We resolve storm events at sub daily durations by merging NASA’s Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) 30-minute, gridded 0.1x0.1-degree precipitation product with local rain gauges operated by the Nepal Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD). We quantify spatial variability in extreme rainfall by isolating storms over a specific intensity threshold and pairing a principal components analysis with a K-means clustering approach to group storms of similar characteristics. and We find that frequent and intense storms occur over the forefront of the central Himalayan range and coincide with a locus of monsoon-driven landslide density. This pattern agrees with observations of elevated annual precipitation volumes near the Himalayan physiographic transition from low to high relief (Bookhagen and Burbank, 2010), and is consistent with orographically-influenced rainfall over other mountain ranges (Marra et al., 2021). In addition to presenting novel methodology to quantifying storm variability, our results highlight the strong orographic effect on precipitation intensity and duration, as well as an association of shallow bedrock landsliding frequency with intense precipitation.

- Description:
- We use our 1-D chemical diffusive model to quantify the physical processes necessary to interpret the day-side ionospheric measurements acquired with radio occultation techniques at the southern high-latitude region of Mars, where the crustal magnetic field is strong and near-vertical in orientation. To interpret the measured ionospheric structure at altitudes where plasma transport dominates, we find it is necessary to impose field-aligned vertical plasma drifts caused by the motion of neutral winds. The most interesting finding of this study is that both upward (between 110 m/s and 150 m/s) and downward (between -55 m/s and -120 m/s) drifts are required to maintain the topside Ne distribution comparable with the measured distribution. We also find that a fixed velocity boundary condition at the upper boundary with a sizeable upward ion velocity is needed to encounter any unexpected ion accumulation in the topside ionosphere to limit the Martian ion outflow. Given the complex nature of neutral dynamics and its relationship to plasma transport processes over magnetic anomalies, we consider that a simple model, such as we have developed, is still capable of yielding valuable insights relating to the neutral wind system at Mars.

- Description:
- The NASA MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution) spacecraft, which is currently in orbit around Mars, has been taking systematic measurements of the densities and deriving temperatures in the upper atmosphere of Mars between about 140 to 240 km above the surface since late 2014. Wind measurement campaigns are also conducted once per month for 5-10 orbits. These densities, temperatures and winds change with time (e.g. solar cycle, season, local time) and location, and sometimes fluctuate quickly. Global dust storm events are also known to significantly impact these density, temperature and wind fields in the Mars thermosphere. For the current project, the inert light species helium is used to trace the circulation patterns and constrain wind magnitudes throughout the Mars thermosphere. Presently, more than 6 years of Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer (NGIMS) measurements of helium densities have been obtained by the MAVEN team (e.g. Elrod et al., 2017; 2021; Gupta et al., 2021). Measured helium distributions are compared to simulations from a computer model of the Mars atmosphere called M-GITM (Mars Global Ionosphere-Thermosphere Model), developed at U. of Michigan. Since the global circulation plays a role in the structure, variability, and evolution of the atmosphere, understanding the processes that drive the winds in the upper atmosphere of Mars also provides the needed context for understanding helium distributions and how the atmosphere behaves as a whole system. Three dimensional M-GITM simulations for the Mars four cardinal seasons (Ls = 0, 90, 180, 270, for Mars Year 33) were conducted for detailed comparisons with NGIMS helium and CO2 distributions (Gupta et al. 2021). The M-GITM datacubes used to extract these densities (plus winds) along the trajectory of each orbit path between 140 and 240 km, are provided in this Deep Blue Data archive. README files are also provided for each datacube, detailing the contents of each file. In addition, a general README file is provided that summarizes the inputs and outputs of the M-GITM code simulations for this study. Finally, a basic version of the M-GITM code can be found on Github at https:/github.com/dpawlows/MGITM.

- Description:
- The Eastern Greater Caucasus is a mountain belt in western Asia that formed as an accretionary prism above an active subduction zone. Because of the bedrock exposure in the range, it offers a unique opportunity to research deformation processes in accretionary prisms, which are ubiquitous above the Earth's many subduction zones but are typically submarine and difficult to investigate. The data presented here result from field geologic mapping in several swaths roughly perpendicular to the mountain range that together span the entire range across strike. The data serve will serve as the basis for inference of the deep structural architecture of the range and characterization of the styles of deformation present in the range.

- Description:
- These data were produced in the scope of research into the timing, rate, and magnitude of extensional exhumation along the length of the Rio Grande Rift in Colorado and New Mexico. The low-temperature (apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He) thermochronometric ages presented in this data set are sensitive to near-surface temperatures (~80C and 180C, respectively) and record the progressive exhumation of the rock mass from which the samples were collected towards the Earth's surface. These thermochronometric ages, and the differences between them, provide insight into the absolute timing, exhumation rate and total magnitude of exhumation on the normal faults that bound the Rio Grande Rift. and The QTQt program mentioned (Version QTQt64R5.6.2a was used for the data presented in this deposit) is not openly available for download, but is described in the Gallagher 2012 publication referenced, and can be requested from its author.

- Description:
- Social media data offer a rich resource for researchers interested in public health, labor economics, politics, social behaviors, and other topics. However, scale and anonymity mean that researchers often cannot directly get permission from users to collect and analyze their social media data. This article applies the basic ethical principle of respect for persons to consider individuals’ perceptions of acceptable uses of data. We compare individuals' perceptions of acceptable uses of other types of sensitive data, such as health records and individual identifiers, with their perceptions of acceptable uses of social media data. Our survey of 1018 people shows that individuals think of their social media data as moderately sensitive and agree that it should be protected. Respondents are generally okay with researchers using their data in social research but prefer that researchers clearly articulate benefits and seek explicit consent before conducting research. We argue that researchers must ensure that their research provides social benefits worthy of individual risks and that they must address those risks throughout the research process.

- Description:
- Coastal wetlands intercept significant amounts of nitrogen (N) from watersheds, especially when surrounding land cover is dominated by agriculture and urban development. Through plant uptake, soil immobilization, and denitrification wetlands can remove excess N from flow through water sources and mitigate eutrophication of connected aquatic ecosystems. Excess N can also change plant community composition in wetlands, including communities threatened by invasive species. Understanding how variable hydrology and N loading impact wetland N removal and community composition can help attain desired management outcomes, including optimizing N removal and/or preventing invasion by non-natives. By using a dynamic, process-based ecosystem simulation model, we are able to simulate various levels of hydrology and N loading that would otherwise be difficult to manipulate. We investigate the effects of hydroperiod, hydrologic residence time, N loading, and the NH4+:NO3- ratio on both N removal and the invasion success of two non-native species (Typha x glauca or Phragmites australis) in temperate freshwater coastal wetlands using Mondrian, a process-based, wetland ecosystem simulation model. We found that when residence time increased, annual N removal increased up to 10-fold while longer hydroperiods also increased N removal, but only when residence time was >10 days and N loading was >30 g N m-2 y-1. N removal efficiency also increased with increasing residence time and hydroperiod, but was less affected by N loading. However, longer hydrologic residence time increased vulnerability of wetlands to invasion by both invasive plants at low to medium N loading rates where native communities are typically more resistant to invasion. This suggests a potential tradeoff between ecosystem services related to nitrogen removal and wetland invasibility. These results help elucidate complex interactions of community composition, N loading and hydrology on N removal, helping managers to prioritize N removal when N loading is high or controlling plant invasion in more vulnerable wetlands.

To this end, we determine which, how and to what degree (combinations of) leaf and root traits influence growth rates across ten temperate tree species along a soil carbon (C) and N gradient growing at the Big Woods plot at the E.S. George Reserve, Pickney, MI. This plot is part of the Smithsonian Institution's Forest Global Earth Observatory (ForestGEO) global network of forest research sites. https://forestgeo.si.edu/ and This dataset contains data on the leaf and root traits of several individuals from tree species, as well as on the soil properties at the Big Woods plots at the E.S. George Reserve, Pickney, MI. Data were collected in June 2019, and used to explain and predict the growth rates of the trees at Big Woods. [Growth data were obtained from Allen et al., 2019, https://doi.org/10.7302/wx55-kt18]. Each file contains data on leaf traits, root traits, and soil properties. Trait data are presented per individual tree for each of the 10 study species. Soil data are represented per soil sample, with four soil samples collected per subplot throughout the Big Woods plot (see legend, and publication for explanation). Descriptions and units per variable/column are provided in the legend tab in each file.

- Description:
- The data set includes one file: Dermatology Clerkship Chalk Talks Raw Dataset which is the raw data collected from the surveys. This raw data was then coded and scored with the following analysis. Objective knowledge questions were asked for each chalk talk which was scored by authors. A knowledge assessment score was calculated by adding the total number of points accumulated by the student, dividing it by the total number of points possible, and summarizing the score as a percentage. Pre- and post-talk knowledge assessment scores were compared for each chalk talk and for the entire curriculum using 2-tailed paired sample t-tests with statistical significance if p<0.05., Before and after each talk, students were asked how confident they felt differentiating conditions within each disease group. For the erythroderma and immunobullous talks, students were also asked how confident they felt working up the conditions. Answer choices were on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all confident) to 5 (extremely confident). Pre- and post-chalk talk scores were summarized as means with standard deviations and compared using 2-tailed paired sample t-tests with statistical significance if p<0.05. , After each talk, students were asked about its efficacy in terms of enhancing their understanding of the diseases, providing a framework or approach to work-up, and facilitating interaction between student and teacher. Answer choices were on a Likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all effective) to 5 (extremely effective), and summarized as means with standard deviations. Students were asked for written feedback regarding what they liked about the talk and suggestions for improvement. Qualitative data were sorted into categories and scored by two independent raters (cohen's kappa =0.8)., and In the response Likert scale, "Not at all"=1, "Not so (much)"=2, "Somewhat"=3, "Very"=4, and "Extremely"=5.

- Description:
- Using the statistical programming package R ( https://cran.r-project.org/), and JAGS (Just Another Gibbs Sampler, http://mcmc-jags.sourceforge.net/), we processed multiple estimates of the Laurentian Great Lakes water balance components -- over-lake precipitation, evaporation, lateral tributary runoff, connecting channel flows, and diversions -- feeding them into prior distributions (using data from 1950 through 1979), and likelihood functions. The Bayesian Network is coded in the BUGS language. Water balance computations assume that monthly change in storage for a given lake is the difference between beginning of month water levels surrounding each month. For example, the change in storage for June 2015 is the difference between the beginning of month water level for July 2015 and that for June 2015., More details on the model can be found in the following summary report for the International Watersheds Initiative of the International Joint Commission, where the model was used to generate a new water balance historical record from 1950 through 2015: https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/pubs/fulltext/2018/20180021.pdf.

- This data is from a project examining prosodic processing in children and adults using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) neuroimaging. fNIRS data is optical data collected using a cap with an array of source and detector fibers that emit and detect infrared light, respectively. We used fNIRS neuroimaging to explore prosodic processing, rhyme judgement, and the "oddball" paradigm in children, adults, and a small sample of children with cochlear implants. Matlab scripts, including Ted Huppert's Nirs Toolbox, were used to process the neuroimaging data. The children also took a battery of behavioral assessments (OWLS, Digit Span, PPVT, CTOPP).

- Description:
- We intend to figure out the difference of stress drops, which is a characteristic source parameter, between shallow and deep-focus earthquakes. Significant stress drop difference may shed light on the difference of physical mechanisms of shallow and deep-focus earthquakes, which has been a elusive question. We select from deep-focus earthquakes (> 400 km) in 2000-2018 and obtain their stress drops using P and S waves. We find that stress drops of deep-focus earthquakes are about one order of magnitude higher than that of shallow earthquakes, indicating about one order of magnitude higher shear strength of shallow faults than faults in the mantle. The wide range of stress drops further suggests coexistence of phase transformation and shear-induced melting mechanisms of deep-focus earthquakes.

- Patients included in this study were all males with no prior HIV diagnosis between 18 and 45 years who had at least one primary care encounter between March 2016 and March 2019. We chose 2016 as the index year because the question of the sexual partners’ gender became coded data elements with the clinic contact. Eligible patients were grouped based on reported sexual partners at the most recent disclosure. Individuals who reported having a male sexual partner or both a male and female partner were included in the MSM group. The non-MSM group included individuals who reported only a female partner or no partner. Patients who did not answer the question were excluded from the study. The study proposal was submitted to the Institutional Review Boards of the University of Michigan Medical School and was exempted from ongoing IRB review (HUM00155091). Individual consent was waived for this study.

- Description:
- Non-thermal plasma systems offer unique opportunities in the fields of bio-imaging, drug delivery, photovoltaics, microelectronics manufacturing. Such interests are largely inspired by the fact that hot plasma electrons coexist with neutral species and ions close to room-temperature under non-thermal plasma conditions. Modeling of these systems requires a deep understanding of the atomistic processes underlying the rich chemistry of the various radicals and ions with the nascent nanoparticle surface. A key parameter for determining the contribution of a certain radical/ion species to the nanoparticle surface growth, called sticking coefficient, is computed as a weighted sum from the simulated sticking outcomes with different collision velocities drawn from a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution at certain temperatures. In this work, the collisions of SiHx (x=1-4) fragments and silicon cluster (Si4, Si2H6, and Si29H36) surfaces, responsible for the sticking coefficients, are simulated by molecular dynamics (MD) with a reactive force field. The dependence of sticking coefficients on temperature, H coverage of both silane fragments and cluster surfaces, and the size of the cluster, are systematically examined. And the mechanism underlying the sticking events, specifically the conversion of physical aggregation to chemisorption is investigated to better understand the complex interplay between factors influencing the surface growth. The detailed and multi-parameter model of sticking coefficients, accompanied by the mechanism study of physisorption to chemisorption conversion, provides a more accurate and robust approximation of surface growth rate using sticking coefficients, and a deeper understanding of surface growth processes, for the wider non-thermal plasma simulation community.

- Description:
- Journals sometimes focus the attention of the research community by having a special collection, sometimes an entire special issue, devoted to a single topic. A reasonable question to ask is whether the extra effort of organizing, promoting, and maintaining the special collection is worthwhile. The paper that this data set accompanies examines paper impact in the Journal of Geophysical Research Space Physics, separating the special collection papers from the non-special-collection submissions. The conclusion is that special collections are worth the extra work.

- Description:
- The purpose of the research is to better understand and approximate the Thurston Set. This project was computational in nature and Python was used to collect our data. The data set contains encoded itineraries that can be used to compute values that are elements of the Thurston Set. A visual approximation of the Thurston Set can be found here ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1402.2008), on the first page Thurston’s own paper. The data can also be used to study the distribution of superattracting beta values within the interval (1, 2] and to explore an analogous Mandelbrot-Julia Correspondence. This research was conducted through the Lab of Geometry at Michigan under the advisement of Harrison Bray during the Fall semester of 2019. , The Python 3.x scripts in this deposit are the exact versions used to created the *.txt files that are in the zip archive. As the project continues, any expansion to the work, such as further analysis or visualization scripts, will be posted to the project's GitHub https://github.com/Tent-Maps-Team/Thurston-Set. Also, a user can reproduce our results and generate bigger datasets on machines with large amounts of memory. , and The data consists of zipper folders representing tent map itinerary orbit lengths. These orbit files can be used to create visualizations, create and explore conjectures such as refining proposed bounds on the Thurston Set and supporting an analogous Mandelbrot-Julia Correspondence. Within these zipped folders are .txt files in CSV format with the naming structure of xx_y of admissible itineraries up to the length indicated by the folder name where xx is the length of the encoded itineraries included. The txt's have a single column and each line(row) is an array representing an encoding of an itinerary. Some of the txt's have been split into multiple parts (whenever there are more than 200 MB of itinerary data) and these txt's have been numbered using the y after the underscore. As we exclude the degenerate tent map (where β = 1), we cannot have orbit length 1 or 2 and this is why the orbits start with length 3 (i.e. start with 3.zip).

- Description:
- Hind limbs can undergo dramatic changes in loading conditions during the transition from quadrupedal to bipedal locomotion. For example, the most early diverging bipedal jerboas (Rodentia: Dipodidae) are some of the smallest mammals in the world, with body masses that range 2-4 grams. The larger jerboa species exhibit developmental and evolutionary fusion of the central three metatarsals into a single cannon bone. We hypothesize that body size reduction and metatarsal fusion are mechanisms to maintain the safety factor of the hind limb bones despite the higher ground reaction forces associated with bipedal locomotion. Using finite element analysis to model collisions between the substrate and the metatarsals, we found that body size reduction was insufficient to reduce bone stress on unfused metatarsals, based on the scaled dynamics of larger jerboas, and that fused bones developed lower stresses than unfused bones when all metatarsals are scaled to the same size and loading conditions. Based on these results, we conclude that fusion reinforces larger jerboa metatarsals against high ground reaction forces. Because smaller jerboas with unfused metatarsals develop higher peak stresses in response to loading conditions scaled from larger jerboas, we hypothesize that smaller jerboas use alternative dynamics of bipedal locomotion that reduces the impact of collisions between the foot and substrate.

- Description:
- Apatite fission track thermochronometry data were collected from the Eastern Greater Caucasus orogen, Azerbaijan. Thermochronometry data constrain the history of exhumation and deformation of rocks within the orogen, which is an active accretionary prism. Thermochronometry data record the timing of cooling of a rock sample beneath a given closure temperature. Given an assumed or inferred geothermal gradient, thermochronometric ages can be used to infer exhumation rates and make interpretations about rates of deformation in orogens. The apatite fission track data presented here are analyzed in concert with apatite (U-Th)/He and zircon (U-Th)/He ages reported in Tye et al., in prep., to characterize the exhumation history of the Eastern Greater Caucasus.
