- 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:
- This repository includes the analysis code and raw data for a paper titled "Nanophotonic control of thermal emission under extreme temperatures in air, " in Nature Nanotechnology (see citation). In our work, well defined structure-color effects guided the design of a nanostructure containing stratified layers of two oxides, magnesium oxide (MgO) and barium zirco-hafnate (BaZr0.5Hf0.5O3 or BZHO). The repeating layers were tuned in such a way to manipulate incident infrared wavelengths. The infrared is the spectral range in which heat (in the form of electromagnetic radiation) is emitted from objects. Therefore, the nanostructure serves as a way to alter the thermal emission spectrum of hot objects, controlling how much heat can flow. This can have significant impacts on a range of technologies, such as thermal photovoltaics (TPVs), which generate electricity from the infrared light emission of hot objects (compared to visible light emission from the sun in solar photovoltaics). We envision that our MgO/BZHO nanostructure can be paired with a thermal emitter in TPV systems to beneficially manipulate the flow of infrared light, leading to more efficient electricity production. To characterize the thermal stability of this structure, we had to characterize the thermal stability and optical performance at room temperature and at 1100 °C. This lead us to conduct several experiments using ellipsometry, TEM, EDS, and FTIR.

- Description:
- Rapid eye movement sleep (REM) is believed to have a binary temporal structure with “phasic” and “tonic" microstates, characterized by motoric activity versus quiescence, respectively. However, we observed in mice that the frequency of theta activity (a marker of rodent REM) fluctuates in a non-binary fashion, with the extremes of that fluctuation correlating with phasic-type and tonic-type facial motricity. Thus, phasic and tonic REM may instead represent ends of a continuum. These cycles of brain physiology and facial movement occurred at 0.01-0.06 Hz, or infraslow frequencies, and affected cross-frequency coupling and neuronal activity in the neocortex, suggesting network functional impact. We then analyzed human data and observed that humans also demonstrate non-binary phasic/tonic microstates, with continuous 0.01-0.04 Hz respiratory rate cycles matching the incidence of eye movements. These fundamental properties of REM can yield new insights into our understanding of sleep health.

- Description:
- Research Overview: In situ magnetic field measurements are often difficult to obtain due to the presence of stray magnetic fields generated by spacecraft electrical subsystems. The conventional solution is to implement strict magnetic cleanliness requirements and place magnetometers on a deployable boom. However, this method is not always feasible on low-cost platforms due to factors such as increased design complexity, increased cost, and volume limitations. To overcome this problem, we propose using the Quad-Mag CubeSat magnetometer with an improved Underdetermined Blind Source Separation (UBSS) noise removal algorithm. The Quad-Mag consists of four magnetometer sensors in a single CubeSat form-factor card that allows distributed measurements of stray magnetic fields. The UBSS algorithm can remove stray magnetic fields without prior knowledge of the magnitude, orientation, or number of noise sources. UBSS is a two-stage algorithm that identifies signals through cluster analysis and separates them through compressive sensing. We use UBSS with single source point (SSP) detection to improve the identification of noise signals and iteratively-weighted compressed sensing to separate noise signals from the ambient magnetic field. Using a mock CubeSat, we demonstrate in the lab that UBSS reduces four noise signals producing more than 100 nT of noise at each magnetometer to below the expected instrument resolution (near 5 nT). Additionally, we show that the integrated Quad-Mag and improved UBSS system works well for 1U, 2U, 3U, and 6U CubeSats in simulation. Our results show that the Quad-Mag and UBSS noise cancellation package enables high-fidelity magnetic field measurements from a CubeSat without a boom.

- Program Description DoT was founded in 2012 with a mission to increase diversity amongst medical professionals by preparing students from underrepresented communities in Detroit to successfully pursue careers in healthcare. Our program builds on a partnership between Cass Technical High School (CTHS) and the University of Michigan Medical School (UMMS). The CTHS student body is reflective of the Detroit population with more than 80% of students identifying with racial and ethnic minority backgrounds. Students with an interest in healthcare apply for the program as ninth graders. In recent years, the program has received over 60 applications for approximately 30 positions in each grade. DoT’s unique strength lies in its longitudinal structure. There are three branches of the program – Foundations (ninth and tenth grade), Rising (eleventh and twelfth grade) and Succeed (undergraduate). Ninth graders start out in DoT Foundations. Each student is paired with a first-year medical student mentor at UMMS for the entire academic year. DoT students travel to UMMS every month for a visit day, with activities designed to give students hands-on experiences in healthcare, such as suturing and ultrasound skills in the simulation center, and clinical shadowing. Students then meet with their medical student mentor over lunch. The latter part of the day is dedicated to working on their capstone projects. For the capstone projects, students work in small teams led by medical student leaders to identify a community health issue, partner with a local organization, and present their proposed solutions at a formal symposium at the end of the year. , Transition to Virtual Programming In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, a growing number of universities cancelled all campus events including those of pipeline programs. We felt that our programming offered an important service to our students that would be greatly missed, so our team worked to quickly create and implement a virtual program. We ensured that each of our students had access to technology at home and those who did not were offered scholarships. During our introductory student session and new parent meeting, our leadership team discussed how to set up a Gmail email address for weekly communications and taught the students how to use Zoom, Google Drive, Google Docs and Google Sheets for online learning collaboration. For the virtual Foundations program, we offered 1-hour seminars each month, where a physician was invited to give a 30-minute presentation about different organ systems, followed by a 30-minute case-based session where students worked with medical student mentors to apply their new knowledge. We also created novel sessions such as “The Path to College and Medical School” and collaborated with members of the Black Medical Association (BMA) and Latin American and Native American Medical Association (LANAMA) to host a panel session where students could learn from medical students who identified as URiM. For the mentorship aspect, we created “pods” of Foundations, Rising, and Succeed students along with medical student and physician mentors. The Foundations students and mentors met every month for an hour on Zoom, a virtual communication platform, to work on their Capstone project. Rising and Succeed students joined the group for three full-pod meetings. The goal was to increase near-peer mentorship and connections between DoT students at all levels. , and Study Population Due to the virtual nature of the 2020-2021 program, we accepted 100% of 9th grade applicants from CTHS. We also expanded our reach to a new school, The School at Marygrove (TSM), which is also located in Detroit, Michigan. TSM is involved in the Detroit-20 Partnership with the University of Michigan College of Education and includes a novel three-year residency program for novice teachers. During the 2020-2021 school year, 108 students participated in the Foundations programming with 72 of them being 9th graders and 36 being 10th graders. The students were mostly from CTHS with 12 students out of the 108 total being from TSM. Students were predominantly from an African American/Black racial background (68.4% from N=98 respondents). The students were representative of their respective schools. The majority of students at CTHS identify as black, come from low-income homes, and have variable levels of parental education.

- Description:
- As part of the Flaring & Fossil Fuels: Uncovering Emissions & Losses (F3UEL) project, the aircraft measurement platform sampled downwind of flares in the Permian and Eagle Ford regions of Texas (2020) and the Bakken in North Dakota (2021). Estimates of methane destruction removal efficiency are calculated for each airborne intercept of a flare combustion plume based on the observed enhancements of carbon dioxide and methane, along with assumptions about the flare gas composition. Locations provided are the GPS coordinates for the aircraft sampling, not of the upwind flare infrastructure on the ground. Attempts to link the airborne sampling locations to ground infrastructure using the provided wind information (measured at the aircraft), should take care to account for complexities of transport in the atmosphere.
