- Description:
- GRAND is a five-year, cluster randomized controlled trial. The study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, [ID#: NCT04033003] and is a collaboration between University of Michigan in the United States and the Dodowa Health Research Center in Ghana. , The study setting for GRAND is four districts (Akwapim North, Yilo Krobo, Nsawam-Adoagyiri, and Lower Manya Krobo) within the Eastern Region of Ghana. Health facilities were selected based the number ANC registrants per month and average gestational age of women at registration in each facility., and Facilities were then matched based on facility type, district, and number of monthly ANC registrants. A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 14 facilities in four districts of the Eastern Region of Ghana. Health facilities were randomized using a matched pairs design; each pair was similar in the number of deliveries and average gestational age of the women at enrollment in antenatal care. The locations of the facilities were far enough apart to avoid cross-group contamination. In each pair of facilities, one was randomly assigned to the intervention (G-ANC) and the other to the control (I-ANC). Recruitment began July 2019 and ended when enrollment targets were met. Data collection ended July 2023 when data collection was complete.

- Description:
- This dataset was generated for our work: "Complex motion of steerable vesicular robots filled with active colloidal rods". In this project, we used Brownian molecular dynamics simulations to study the rich dynamical behavior of rigid kinked vesicles that contain self-propelling rod-shaped particles. We identified that kinks in the vesicle membrane bias the emergent clustering and alignment of the active agents. Based on the system's geometrical and material properties, we were able to design multiple types of directed motion of the vesicle superstructure. This dataset includes simulation data for two-dimensional systems of self-propelling rod particles confined by teardrop-shaped coarse-grained vesicles. The trajectory of each simulation is saved in a GSD format file with parameter metadata in a JSON file. Due to the large number of replicas of each pair of parameters, simulation data were grouped into 5 different folders. Collective quantitative analysis for simulated trajectories was performed with Jupyter Notebook. and Workspaces_simulations.zip contains all the workspaces of simulations Each folder has subfolders called 'dimer' and 'trimer' depending on the length of the propelling rod particles used in the simulation. (Except for the folder 'number-density_16' which has only 'dimer') In the subfolders, we include the Python scripts used in this work for simulating and trajectory analysis for individual trajectory data. The parameter space of each folder is noted in init.py. Analysis_jupyter_notebooks.zip includes Jupyter notebooks that can reproduce the collective analysis done for this work.

- Description:
- Therapeutic mechanisms of human neural stem cells (hNSCs) were studied in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model (5XFAD). hNSCs restored spatial memory abilities in 5XFAD animals; however, amyloid beta levels were unchanged. Spatial transcriptomics was used to probe mechanisms of hNSCs. Focusing on a subset of plaque-induced genes, gene normalization was seen particularly in microglia, confirmed by PROGENy and Cell Chat analyses. and The spatial transcriptomics data from this publication have been deposited in NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (16) and are accessible through GEO Series accession number GSE209583 ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE209583 and enter token gzglogqkvjqrhmt).

- Description:
- Rotating Magnetic Field (RMF) thrusters are a form of electrodeless plasma propulsion. This technology is a low maturity but potentially enabling candidate for high-power in-space propulsion for use with alternative propellants. The purpose of the data here, and the associated publication is to evaluate the phenomenological efficiency modes for this thruster test article to explain and understand its overall efficiency. These modes include divergence, power coupling, mass utilization, and plasma/acceleration efficiency. Additional time-resolved measurements of the internal plasma properties were performed using a triple Langmuir probe to evaluate energy loss processes within the thruster.
