- 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:
- Our research focuses on providing a fully-imputed map of the worldwide total electron content with high resolution and spatial-temporal smoothness. We fill in the missing values of the original Madrigal TEC maps via estimating the latent feature of each latitude and local time along the 2-D grid and give initial guess of the missing regions based on pre-computed spherical harmonics map. The resulting TEC map has high imputation accuracy and the ease of reproducing. and All data are in HDF5 format and are easy to read using the h5py package in Python. The TEC map is grouped in folders based on years and each file contains a single-day data of 5-min cadence. Each individual TEC map is of size 181*361.

- Description:
- Global service-learning brings students, instructors, and communities together to support learning and community development across borders. In doing so, global service-learning practitioners act at the intersection of two fields: service-learning and international development. Critical scholarship in all three domains has highlighted the tensions inherent in defining and tracking “success” in community development. In response, service-learning and international development have turned considerable attention to documenting project characteristics, also known as best practices or success factors, which support equitable, sustainable community development. This database accompanies the article "Global Service-Learning - A systematic review of principle and practice," which presents a systematic synthesis of these fields’ best practices in the context of global service-learning. We propose 18 guiding principles for project design which aim to support practitioners in creating and maintaining justice-oriented, stakeholder-driven projects. This database contains the necessary reference material to trace the path of our analysis from abstract review to thematic synthesis. It also contains the final results of the thematic synthesis. To respect copyright restrictions, we have not made PDFs of all articles analyzed publicly accessible. Please contact the authors of this database or of the original article if you seek to access one of the articles we reference. For more information, see: Hawes, J.

- Description:
- The data was used to calibrate and simulate pattern recognition algorithms for the following publication: Surgically Implanted Electrodes Enable Real-Time Finger and Grasp Pattern Recognition for Prosthetic Hands (medRxiv 2020, IEEE TRO in review). Each data file is named as follows Px_PostureSet.csv. Where Px is the patient number. The 1 of 10 posture set contains individual finger and intrinsic thumb movements, the grasps posture set contains a fewer number of combined finger movements. P1’s calibration data for individual fingers is labelled 1 of 12 because it also includes two grasps, which were removed for analysis in the publication. The first column of each .csv file is the experiment time in seconds. The second column is the posture of the cue hand at that timestamp. The rest of the columns are the raw EMG data in microvolts sampled at 30KSps. A legend of the movement postures, each patients EMG channels, and suggested signal processing and filtering is included in DataLabellingAndProcessing.pdf

- 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.

Bounce-Averaged Quasi-Linear Diffusion Model Simulation Input/Output on Mars’ Crustal Magnetic Field
- Creator:
- Alexander Shane
- Description:
- To study the effect of whistler mode waves on the superthermal electron velocity space at Mars, a numerical model was built to solve the bounce-averaged quasi-linear diffusion equation on a crustal field. This dataset includes the input and output variables to this model for the simulations performed in Shane and Liemohn, 2022. The studies using this dataset were conducted by Alex Shane in the Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. This research was supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Grant NNX16AQ04G to the University of Michigan and the Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship.

- Description:
- Anthropogenic climate change will dramatically alter species distributions. The rate and magnitude of range shifts, however, will differ among taxa, resulting in altered patterns of co-occurrence and interspecific interactions. We examined potential climate-mediated breeding range shifts among North American wood-warblers (Parulidae), a speciose avian family likely to be especially impacted by such changes. We used publicly available species distribution model (SDM) range outputs to compare current ranges and patterns of sympatry among warbler species to future ranges and sympatry under 1.5 °C, 2.0 °C, and 3.0 °C of average global warming. We used these outputs to calculate average breeding range area, range overlap among species, number of sympatric species, and distances of breeding range shifts. We additionally calculated the number gained and lost sympatric interactions under each warming scenario.
