- Description:
- Transcriptional accessibility of chromatin is central to guiding CD4+ T cell function through regulation of lineage specific gene expression. Myst1 is a histone acetyltransferase responsible for acetylation of the protein tail of histone 4 at lysine residue 16 (H416ac), resulting in increased transcriptional accessibility and activation of gene transcription. Previous studies have described a role for Myst1 in governing lymphocyte development in the thymus, however the role of Myst1 and H4K16ac in guiding activation of peripheral CD4+ T cells has not been studied. Activation of human and murine CD4+ T cells resulted in upregulation of Myst1 expression, and deletion of Myst1 resulted in changes in proliferative responses to both polyclonal stimulus and exogenous cytokines. Myst1-deficient T cells also exhibited modulations in lineage commitment, with decreased function in TH1/TH2 skewing conditions and increased function in response to TH17-promoting conditions. Regulation of Myst1 function in CD4+ T cells appears governed at least in part by STAT5, as Myst1 expression is regulated by STAT5 expression and DNA binding, and modulations in H4K16ac in Myst1-deficient CD4+ T cells is observable at sites in the promoter regions of lineage specific genes following skewing to the TH1 or TH2 lineage in vitro. Taken together, these results indicate an important role for the STAT5-Myst1 epigenetic axis in governing the activation and effector function of CD4+ T cells.

- Description:
- The modeling research conducted to produce this dataset focuses on the solar wind dynamic pressure drop events and how they affect the Earth's intrinsically coupled Magnetosphere, Ionosphere and Thermosphere systems. This study specifically focuses on the 11 June 2017 event, where the solar wind dynamic pressure dropped significantly following a period of higher pressure. We model the response to this pressure drop using University of Michigan Space Weather Modeling Framework ( http://csem.engin.umich.edu/tools/swmf/). The simulation results were created using BATS-R-US and GITM models. The observational data required for model comparisons were taken from OMNI ( https://omniweb.gsfc.nasa.gov) and CDAWeb ( https://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/sp_phys/) Databases.

- Description:
- The goal of the work is to elucidate the stability of a complex experimentally observed structure of proteins. We found that supercharged GFP molecules spontaneously assemble into a complex 16-mer structure that we term a protomer, and that under the right conditions an even larger assembly is observed. The protomer structure is very well defined, and we performed simulations to try and understand the mechanics underlying its behavior. In particular, we focused on understanding the role of electrostatics in this system and how varying salt concentrations would alter the stability of the structure, with the ultimate goal of predicting the effects of various mutations on the stability of the structure. There are two separate projects included in this repository, but the two are closely linked. One, the candidate_structures folder, contains the atomistic outputs used to generate coarse-grained configurations. The actual coarse-grained simulations are in the rigid_protein folder, which pulls the atomistic coordinates from the other folder. All data is managed by signac and lives in the workspace directories, which contain various folders corresponding to different parameter combinations. The parameters associated with a given folder are stored in the signac_statepoint.json files within each subdirectory. The atomistic data uses experimentally determined protein structures as a starting point; all of these are stored in the ConfigFiles folder. The primary output is the topology files generated from the PDBs by GROMACS; these topologies are then used to parametrize the Monte Carlo simulations. In some cases, atomistic simulations were actually run as well, and the outputs are stored alongside the topology files. In the rigid_protein folder, the ConfigFiles folder contains MSMS, the software used to generate polyhedral representations of proteins from the PDBs in the candidate_structures folder. All of the actual polyhedral structures are also stored in the ConfigFiles folder. The actual simulation trajectories are stored as general simulation data (GSD) files within each subdirectory of the workspace, along with a single .pos file that contains the shape definition of the (nonconvex) polyhedron used to represent a protein. The logged quantities, such as energies and MC move sizes, are stored in .log files. The logic for the simulations in the candidate_structures project is in the Python scripts project.py, operations.py, and scripts/init.py. The rigid_protein folder also includes the notebooks directory, which contains Jupyter notebooks used to perform analyses, as well as the Python scripts used to actually perform the simulations and manage the data space. In particular, the project.py, operations.py and scripts/init.py scripts contain most of the logic associated with the simulations.

- Description:
- The specific focus of the project was radiative shocks, which develop when shock waves become so fast and hot that the radiation from the shocked matter dominates the energy transport. This in turn leads to changes in the shock structure. Radiative shocks are challenging to simulate, as they include phenomena on a range of spatial and temporal scales and involve two types of nonlinear physics Ð- hydrodynamics and radiation transport. Even so, the range of physics involved is narrow enough that one can hope to model all of it with sufficient fidelity to reproduce the data. CRASH was focused on developing predictions for a sequence of experiments performed in Project Year 5, in which those experiments represented an extrapolation from all previously available data. The previous data involved driving radiative shocks within cylindrical structures, and mainly straight tubes. The Year 5 experiments drove a radiative shock down an elliptical tube. Our long-stated goal for these predictions was that the distribution of predicted values would overlap significantly with the observed distribution. We achieved this goal. Achieving our goal required the conversion of an established space-weather code to model radiative shocks at high energy density. To obtain reasonable fidelity with respect to the experimental data required implementing a laser absorption package, in addition to a hydrodynamic solver, electron physics and heat conduction, and multigroup diffusive radiation transport. The dedicated experiments provided evidence of experimental variability, validation of the calculation of initial shock wave behavior, and validation data at many observation times using cylindrical shock tubes. Following this were preparatory experiments for and finally the execution of the Year 5 experiments. The predictive science research included a wide range of sensitivity studies to determine which variables were important and a sequence of predictive studies focused on specific issues and sets of data. This led ultimately to predictions of shock location for the Year 5 experiments. A conclusion from this project is that the serious quantification of uncertainty in simulations is a dauntingly difficult and expensive prospect. Pre-existing codes are unlikely to have been built with attention to what will be needed to quantify their uncertainty. Pre-existing experimental results are even more unlikely to include a sufficiently detailed analysis of the experimental uncertainties. And this will also be true of most experiments that might be used to validate components of the simulation. The analysis of uncertainty in any one of the physical processes (and related physical constants) is a major effort. And addressing model form uncertainty is an even bigger challenge, that may in principle require development of complete, alternative simulation models. We made a start at all of this, and completed almost none of it. But by the end of a project, we finally had all the pieces in place and working that would have enabled a range of important studies and advances in relatively near-term years. But the sponsor terminated the program after only five years. For most of the participants this was a relatively minor development, although for a few of them it proved to be enormously disruptive. We believe that the cost to the nation, in work that was ready be done but now will not be, was much much larger. The sketch of the target was produced using a drawing program based on the experimental dimensions. The annotated photograph of the target was obtained using a visible-light camera. The colorized radiographs were obtained via backilit-pinhole radiography of a radiative shock propagating down an elliptical tube, at 26 ns after the lasers driving the shock tube fired. The graph showing lines and circles was produced by running many computer models, analyzing their statistical distribution, and measuring actual shock positions in the experiment.

- Description:
- The eastern coastal basins of Brazil are a series of small and isolated rivers that drain directly into the Atlantic Ocean. During the Pleistocene, sea-level retreat caused by glaciations exposed the continental shelf, resulting in enlarged paleodrainages that connected rivers that are isolated today. Using Geographic Information System (GIS), we infer the distribution of these paleodrainages, and their properties for the east Brazilian coast. Here, we publicly make available the shapefiles that demonstrate the paleodrainage structure along the Brazilian coast during the largest sea-level retreats in the Pleistocene, the riverine vectors during the same period and the coastal line for a drop of -125m in the sea.

- Description:
- Percent Weight Change Data: The model was run continuously on a daily time step for seasonal intervals (Spring: March thru May; Summer: June thru August; Fall: September thru November) as well as contiguously from Spring to Fall to assess total growth over the likely growing season (March thru November). CSV files represent the simulated weight change (%) of Bighead and Silver Carp for the respective time periods associated with the file name. Initial fish mass for each seasonal interval and growing season was 4350 g for Silver Carp and 5480 g for Bighead Carp. Maximum and mean total weight change (%) was determined for three depth ranges (near surface depths [NS]: 0 – 10 m; deep chlorophyll layer depths [DCL]: 10 - 50 m; and whole water column [WC]). Coordinates are in decimal degrees. File naming convention: speciesSeasonWtChange (e.g. bigheadFallWtChange = % weight change of Bighead Carp from September through November) , Monthly Habitat Quality Data: Rdata files contain matrices of Bighead or Silver carp growth rate potential as represented as a mass-proportional growth rate (gram of carp/gram of carp/day [g/g/d]) for the 15th day of each month. Habitats with growth rate potential >= 0 g/g/d were deemed suitable. Matrix attributes: Rows: Row numbers refer to the spatial node with 20 equally-spaced vertical layers. Columns: Columns 1-20 refer to the growth rate potential value for each vertical layer of each node. Vertical layers are evenly spaced based on the total depth of the water column for each node. Depth for each node can be found in the grid attributes data file. Columns 21 ("meanG") and 22 ("Gmax") represent the average and maximum growth rate potential, respectively, of the fish across the whole water column for the corresponding node. File naming convention: species_MonthNumber (e.g. silver_06 = Silver carp growth rate potential in June) Spatial coordinates for each node can be found in the grid attributes data files., Grid attributes data: This Rdata file provides the spatial reference data and other grid attributes. Coordinates are provided in UTM (x & y) and latitude and longitude (decimal degrees). Depth (meters) for each node is listed in this file. , GRP Model code: Details bioenergetics equations, foraging equation, functions for running the model on a monthly time-step and daily time step, and functions for basic analyses.

- Description:
- Geological and geophysical observations reveal along-strike fault zone heterogeneity on major strike-slip faults, which can play a significant role in earthquake rupture propagation and termination. I present 2D dynamic rupture simulations to demonstrate rupture characteristics in such heterogeneous fault zone structure. The modeled rupture is nucleated in a damaged fault zone and propagates on a preexisting fault towards the zone of intact rocks. There is an intermediate range of nucleation lengths that only allow rupture to spontaneously propagate in the damaged fault zone but not in a homogeneous medium. I find that rupture with an intermediate nucleation length tends to stop when it reaches the zone of intact rocks, especially when the rupture propagation distance in the damaged fault zone is relatively short and when the damaged fault zone is relatively narrow or smooth in the fault-normal direction. Pronounced small-scale heterogeneity within the damaged fault zone also contributes to such early rupture termination. In asymmetric fault zones bisected by a bimaterial fault, rupture moving in the direction of slip of faster rocks tends to terminate under the same conditions as in symmetric fault zones, whereas rupture moving in the direction of slip of slower rocks can penetrate into the zone of intact rocks. Break-through rupture is allowed when a sufficiently-large asperity is located at the edge of the zone of intact rocks. The results suggest the along-strike fault zone heterogeneity can play a critical role in seismicity distribution. The data set contains multiple folders of simulation results from the SEM2DPACK that demonstrate the above findings. The folder name includes the model parameters in each simulation as explained in the README file. The Flt01_sem2d.data file in the folder documents the slip, slip rate and stresses from each simulation. The files are also explained in the manual of SEM2DPACK ( http://web.gps.caltech.edu/~ampuero/soft/users_guide_sem2dpack.pdf). Please refer to section 4.6 in the manual and use “sem2d_read_fault.m” in the POST folder of SEM2DPACK to plot the results.

- Description:
- Investigating minimum human reaction times is often confounded by the motivation, training, and state of arousal of the subjects. We used the reaction times of athletes competing in the shorter sprint events in the Athletics competitions in recent Olympics (2004-2016) to determine minimum human reaction times because there's little question as to their motivation, training, or state of arousal. The reaction times of sprinters however are only available on the IAAF web page for each individual heat, in each event, at each Olympic. Therefore we compiled all these data into two separate excel sheets which can be used for further analyses.

- Description:
- In this work , we study the problem of allocating limited security countermeasures to protect network data from cyber-attacks, for scenarios modeled by Bayesian attack graphs. We consider multi-stage interactions between a network administrator and cybercriminals, formulated as a security game. We propose parameterized heuristic strategies for the attacker and defender and provide detailed analysis of their time complexity. Our heuristics exploit the topological structure of attack graphs and employ sampling methods to overcome the computational complexity in predicting opponent actions. Due to the complexity of the game, we employ a simulation-based approach and perform empirical game analysis over an enumerated set of heuristic strategies. Finally, we conduct experiments in various game settings to evaluate the performance of our heuristics in defending networks, in a manner that is robust to uncertainty about the security environment.
