- - Temporal coverage: 1/1/1941 to 12/31/2020 - Spatial coverage: Entire Great Lakes basin - Output format: The original modeling outputs are provided at a 1 km/daily resolution in NetCDF format. There are two kinds of modeling outputs, which are land surface modeling outputs (LDASOUT) and hydrological modeling outputs (CHRTOUT). The author recommend using the netCDF Operators (NCO) program for data processing. For visualization and plotting, the author recommend using software like MATLAB, Python or R.

- Description:
- The purpose of this research is to compare levels of unprenylated Rab proteins in CHM-/- iPSC-RPE cells with and without compactin. Compactin is a statin that inhibits prenyl synthesis and thereby reduces prenylation overall and has an unbiased inhibitory effect on all protein prenylation. So we expect that for Rabs that are already poorly prenylated at baseline in choroideremia RPE cells, compactin will have minimal effect. However, for Rabs that are efficiently prenylated at baseline, compactin should have a much greater effect. And then we used tandem mass tag spectrometry to compare the ratio of each unprenylated Rab in compactin-treated choroideremia cells vs untreated choroideremia cells. In the spreadsheet, "F8" refers to the CHM-/- iPSC-RPE cells and "WT" refers to the isogenic control iPSC-RPE cells. In the "Proteins only" tab, column M shows the ratio of each protein in "DMSO" (untreated) choroideremia cells compared to Compactin-treated choroideremia cells. Compactin-treated control cells are also included in other columns. Untreated control cells could not be used because prenylation is so efficient in these cells, there is almost no material available after doing the in vitro prenylation assay (i.e. almost no unprenylated proteins to biotinylate). The column descriptions can be found in the sheet titled "Explanations." In addition, AAs= number of amino acids in the protein, MW= molecular weight of the protein, and pI= isoelectric point. The software is set to report abundance values only when certain criteria are met (S/N of 6, unique peptide etc). A value is NOT reported when the data for a protein fall below these criteria and the cell is instead left blank.

- Description:
- This repository is supplemental data (raw data) from my doctoral dissertation (2024). My research focused on how flowering plants respond to changing climates, not only with fossil plants in the geologic past, but also to make predictions on how living flowering plants will respond to human-derived climate change. We can examine these responses by examining functional traits, which are strongly associated with environmental and climatic factors. Studying functional traits in leaves is particularly helpful in this case, because they are a plant’s direct interaction with outside abiotic and biotic influences. I explored these plant-climate interactions in non-woody flowering plants (monocots) and ZIngiberaceae (the ginger family) because they are wildly understudied but have great ecological and agricultural importance. The research portion of my dissertation spanned four chapters (2-5). In Chapter 2, I examined the evolutionary and ecological impacts on a well-known leaf functional trait, vein length per area (VLA) in the entire monocot clade. This work revealed that monocot VLA was more associated with a plant’s environment and its habit (size/form), rather than overall evolutionary history. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 focused on Zingiberaceae. In Chapter 3, I tested leaf functional trait-climate relationships and dicot leaf trait reconstruction methods on fossil Zingiberaceae. I found that methods used to reconstruct leaf area and leaf mass area (important leaf functional traits) in fossil dicots were not comparable for use with Zingiberaceae, and likely other monocots. Leaf venation traits, including VLA and two new traits vein thickness (VT) and distance between veins, were largely driven by changes in temperature, which may provide useful information on past plant-climate interactions. In Chapter 4 I explored leaf functional trait response to elevated temperature and [CO2] in two species of living Zingiberaceae. Venation traits were largely driven by temperature, while stomatal and leaf mass traits were strongly associated with both temperature and [CO2]. This work provided potential implications for how living flowering plants may respond to anthropogenic climate change impacts and possibly offer a plant physiology model for fossil gingers, one that is not attainable with fossils. Lastly in Chapter 5 I focused on plant climate niches across the last 100 million years and explored differences in niche expansion and contraction in woody (Metasequoia sp.) and herbaceous (Zingiberaceae) plants. This work revealed that differences in climate niches are largely due to plant growth and dispersal strategies. My results call into question assumptions made for plant-based paleoclimate reconstruction methods, and recommend further training of these methods with additional plant groups. This dissertation provides new insight on living and fossil plant-climate interactions of monocot flowering plants, and lays the foundation for future research.

- Description:
- The MEVDT dataset was created to fill a critical gap in event-based computer vision research by supplying a high-quality, real-world labeled dataset. Intended to facilitate the development of advanced algorithms for object detection and tracking applications, MEVDT includes multi-modal traffic scene data with synchronized grayscale images and high-temporal-resolution event streams. Additionally, it provides annotations for object detection and tracking with class labels, pixel-precise bounding box coordinates, and unique object identifiers. The dataset is organized into directories containing sequences of images and event streams, comprehensive ground truth labels, fixed-duration event samples, and data indexing sets for training and testing. and To access and utilize the dataset, researchers need specific software or scripts compatible with the data formats included, such as PNG for grayscale images, CSV for event stream data, AEDAT for the encoded fixed-duration event samples, and TXT for annotations. Recommended tools include standard image processing libraries for PNG files and CSV or text parsers for event data. A specialized Python script for reading AEDAT files is available at: https://github.com/Zelshair/cstr-event-vision/blob/main/scripts/data_processing/read_aedat.py, which streamlines access to the encoded event sample data.
