- Description:
- Estimated phylogenetic relationships based on more than 18,000 loci in 93 individuals (full data) or 21 individuals (subset data) representing 19 described species and two putative undescribed species. Nine files are part of this dataset, including all input files to infer the phylogenetic reconstructions and the outputs obtained, in addition to a pruned tree used to infer the ancestral state reconstructions.

- Description:
- Three sensitivity analyses were performed. First, a second matching step was performed in which two controls were selected for each case, where possible using a nearest neighbor and caliper metric. Controls needed to have propensity scores within 0.1 of the case to be selected. Thirty-eight of the 39 cases had at least one control using this method and for 36 cases two controls could be selected. The average difference between case and control propensity adjuvant RT was 0.008 (range 0.00003-0.095). A second sensitivity analysis was performed to guard against immortal time bias. In order to mitigate the possibility of this effect, cases known not to have undergone adjuvant RT have been screened for suitable follow-up without a recurrence (local or regional recurrence, metastatic failure, and/or death) to ensure that if adjuvant RT had been prescribed as part of the multi-modality treatment regimen, that it would have been initiated. Three months was selected as the mandatory follow-up time. One to one matching was carried out and all 39 cases were matched to a control. A third sensitivity analysis was performed to account for stage migration seen in control patients that presented to the University of Michigan with more advanced disease. Patients that underwent adjuvant radiation were matched one to one with control group patients who did not receive adjuvant radiation, and who had the same stage at diagnosis as compared to stage at University of Michigan presentation.

- Description:
- We perform a geomagnetic event simulation using a newly developed magnetohydrodynamic with adaptively embedded particle-in-cell (MHD-AEPIC) model. We have developed effective criteria to identify reconnection sites in the magnetotail and cover them with the PIC model. The MHD-AEPIC simulation results are compared with Hall MHD and ideal MHD simulations to study the impacts of kinetic reconnection at multiple physical scales. At the global scale, the three models produce very similar SYM-H and SuperMag Electrojet (SME) indexes, which indicates that the global magnetic field configurations from the three models are very close to each other. At the mesoscale we compare the simulations with in situ Geotail observations in the tail. All three models produce reasonable agreement with the Geotail observations. The MHD-AEPIC and Hall MHD models produce tailward and earthward propagating fluxropes, while the ideal MHD simulation does not generate flux ropes in the near-earth current sheet. At the kinetic scales, the MHD-AEPIC simulation can produce a crescent shape distribution of the electron velocity space at the electron diffusion region which agrees very well with MMS observations near a tail reconnection site. These electron scale kinetic features are not available in either the Hall MHD or ideal MHD models. Overall, the MHD-AEPIC model compares well with observations at all scales, it works robustly, and the computational cost is acceptable due to the adaptive adjustment of the PIC domain.

- Description:
- Data were gathered to test three hypotheses on the impact economic growth has on environmental conditions in urban areas. The three hypotheses are: 1. Income will be associated with reductions in PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and SO2. 2. Public Administration GVA will be associated with reductions in PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and SO2. 3. Urban density will be associated with reductions in PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and SO2. More information about the research and the data can be found in: Benjamin Leffel, Nikki Tavasoli, Brantley Liddle, Kent Henderson & Sabrina Kiernan (2021) Metropolitan air pollution abatement and industrial growth: Global urban panel analysis of PM10, PM2.5, NO2 and SO2, Environmental Sociology, DOI: 10.1080/23251042.2021.1975349.

- Description:
- The study focuses on reconstructing the histories of peat deposition using n-alkane biomarkers in peat cores and associated modern plant communities from four sites around a shallow maar lake in the Changbai Mountains of northeastern China. Peat development patterns in the four sites are not concordant although the sites experienced the same paleoclimate histories. Evidently, lava flows and tephra deposits produced an uneven topography of the volcanogenic lake basin that controls the water depths at the four lake edge locations, thereby leading to differences in peat-forming plant communities and peat deposition among the four sites.
