- 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.

- 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.

- Description:
- This cross-sectional analysis included 584 participants in the Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia cohort 1 (COHRA1). We sequenced the V4 region of the 16S rRNA of supragingival plaque from 185 caries-active and 565 caries-free teeth using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Sequences were filtered using the R DADA2 package and assigned taxonomy using the Human Oral Microbiome Database ( http://www.homd.org/).

- Description:
- Jerboas (Jaculus jaculus) are bipedal hopping rodents that frequently transition between gaits (running, hopping, and skipping) throughout their entire speed range. It has been hypothesized that these non-cursorial bipedal gait transitions are likely to enhance their maneuverability and predator evasion ability. However, it is difficult to use the underlying dynamics of these locomotion patterns to predict gait transitions due to the large number of degrees of freedom expressed by the animals. To this end, we used empirical jerboa kinematics and dynamics to develop a unified Spring Loaded Inverted Pendulum model with defined passive swing leg motions. The simulated trajectories from the model precisely matched the experimental data. Jerboas were observed to apply different neutral swing leg angles during locomotion. By investigating the gait structure of the model with coupled and uncoupled neutral swing leg, we found two set of mechanism may explain the frequent gait transitions of jerboas.

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:
- Current methods for patient-specific voxel-level dosimetry in radionuclide therapy suffer from a trade-off between accuracy and computational efficiency. Monte Carlo (MC) radiation transport algorithms are considered the gold standard for voxel-level dosimetry but can be computationally expensive, whereas faster dose voxel kernel (DVK) convolution can be sub-optimal in the presence of tissue heterogeneities. Furthermore, the accuracies of both these methods are limited by the spatial resolution of the reconstructed emission image. To overcome these limitations, this paper considers a single deep convolutional neural network (CNN) with residual learning (named DblurDoseNet) that learns to produce dose-rate maps while compensating for the limited resolution of SPECT images. We took the novel approach of constructing a convolutional neural network with residual learning to handle the accuracy-efficiency tradeoff while compensating for the limited resolution of SPECT images. We then test our CNN on clinically relevant phantoms and patients undergoing Lu-177 DOTATATE therapy in our clinic. Our network demonstrated superior results than Monte Carlo, the current gold standard for voxel dosimetry, but only takes a fraction of time. Thus, the DblurDoseNet has the potential for real-time patient-specific dosimetry in clinical treatment planning due to its demonstrated improvement in accuracy, resolution, noise and speed over the DVK/MC approaches. Matlab is needed to access the phantoms and Python (with Numpy package installed) is needed to access the DVKs.

- 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:
- Here we present an investigation of the variability of Venus' extended oxygen corona. For that, we employ a combination of a fluid model VTGCM for simulating Venus' ionosphere and thermosphere and kinetic model AMPS. We have found excellent agreement of the model results with PVO observations of the corona when the modeling is done assuming the solar maximum conditions, which corresponds to the solar conditions during the observations. We also found that the oxygen density strongly depends on the solar conditions and varies by order of magnitude over a solar cycle. That explains why the extended oxygen corona was observed only at the solar maximum. The result presented in this paper will be used in a later study of the planet's interaction with the ambient solar wind, where the corona model defines the mass loading coefficient.
