- Description:
- This section contains work related to the modeling of voltage degradation in a 24 cell PEM fuel cell stack with 300 cm2 cross-sectional area. The experimental hardware used to validate the model consists of a computer controlled system that coordinates air, hydrogen, cooling, and electrical subsystems to operate the stack. Dry hydrogen is pressure regulated for full utilization in the dead-ended anode. Using a solenoid valve, the anode is periodically purged to recover the gradual degradation in voltage. A membrane based humidifier controls the vapor content of the cathode gas stream while a mass flow controller is used to regulate the flow to the desired stoichiometry.

- 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.

- Description:
- Image Pre-Processing To allow reliable detection and comparison of changes between several individuals or within the same individual at different time points, before extracting the quantitative bone texture/morphometry features, all hr-CBCT scans were pre-processed using validated protocols. Extraction of Trabecular Bone Texture-based and Morphometry Imaging Features Using the “crop-volume” tool in 3D Slicer, a rectangular shaped volume of interest (VOI) was cropped from the trabecular bone in the mandibular condyles and the articular fossa. Then, using the average minimum and maximum intensity values of all VOIs, we standardized the grey level intensities of the VOIs to eliminate inaccuracies of textural features calculation and possible dependency on the global characteristics of the images. Lastly, imaging markers were extracted from the standardized VOIs using “BoneTexture” module in 3D-slicer. Measurement of the 3D Articular Joint Space To assess the progression/improvement of osteoarthritic changes in the affected individuals, we measured the 3D superior joint space. We pre-labelled two landmarks in the sagittal view of the oriented CBCT scans: on the most superior point of the condyle and on the opposing surface of the articular fossa. To avoid biasing the landmarks’ placements, pre-labelling was performed simultaneously on T1 and T2 scans, using two independent windows in ITK-SNAP. After the volumetric reconstruction of the identified landmarks, linear measurements were obtained in millimeters using the Q3DC tool in 3D Slicer. Three-dimensional Shape Analyses and Quantification of Remodeling in the Condyles SPHARM-PDM software was used to compute the correspondence across 4002 surface points among all condyles. The output point-based models displayed color-coded maps that enabled visual evaluation of consistent parametrization of all condyles. An average condyle shape for the TMJ OA and control groups was calculated through propagation of original surface point correspondences across all stages of deformations and averaging the condyle surface meshes. For visualization of the 3D qualitative changes of the average models within the same group at different time points or among different groups, semi-transparent overlays were created using 3D Slicer software. The vector differences were presented on the condyle surfaces, scaled according to the magnitude of difference, and pointing towards the direction of bone change. For quantification of remodeling in the condyles, calculation of signed distances across condyles surface meshes reflected the quantitative bone changes in the TMJ OA and control samples. To quantify regional bone changes across the lateral and anterior surfaces of the condyles, we used the Pick ‘n Paint tool in 3D Slicer to propagate regional surface points to the corresponding regions of shapes across all subjects and time points.

- Description:
- Accurate estimation of hydro-meteorological variables is essential for adaptive water management in the North American Laurentian Great Lakes. However, only a limited number of monthly datasets are available nowadays that encompass all components of net basin supply (NBS), such as over-lake precipitation (P), evaporation (E), and total runoff (R). To address this gap, we developed a daily hydro-meteorological dataset covering an extended period from 1979 to 2022 for each of the Great Lakes. The daily P and E were derived from six global gridded reanalysis climate datasets (GGRCD) that include both P and E estimates, and R was calculated from National Water Model (NWM) simulations. Ensemble mean values of the difference between P and E (P – E) and NBS were obtained by analyzing daily P, E, and R. Monthly averaged values derived from our new daily dataset were validated against existing monthly datasets. This daily hydro-meteorological dataset has the potential to serve as a validation resource for current data and analysis of individual NBS components. Additionally, it could offer a comprehensive depiction of weather and hydrological processes in the Great Lakes region, including the ability to record extreme events, facilitate enhanced seasonal analysis, and support hydrologic model development and calibration. The source code and data representation/analysis figures are also made available in the data repository.

- Description:
- This database contains six datasets intended to aid in the conception, training, demonstration, evaluation, and comparison of reduced-complexity models for fluid mechanics. The six datasets are: large-eddy-simulation data for a turbulent jet, direct-numerical-simulation data for a zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer, particle-image-velocimetry data for the same boundary layer, direct-numerical-simulation data for laminar stationary and pitching flat-plate airfoils, particle-image-velocimetry and force data for an airfoil encountering a gust, and large-eddy-simulation data for the separated, turbulent flow over an airfoil. All data are stored within hdf5 files, and each dataset additionally contains a README file and a Matlab script showing how the data can be read and manipulated. Since all datafiles use the hdf5 format, they can alternatively be read within virtually any other programing environment. An example.zip file included for each dataset provides an entry point for users. The database is an initiative of the AIAA Discussion Group on Reduced-Complexity Modeling and is detailed in the paper listed below. For each dataset, the paper introduces the flow setup and computational or experimental methods, describes the available data, and provide an example of how these data can be used for reduced-complexity modeling. All users should cite this paper as well as appropriate primary sources contained therein. Towne, A., Dawson, S., Brès, G. A., Lozano-Durán, A., Saxton-Fox, T., Parthasarthy, A., Biler, H., Jones, A.

- Description:
- Inland lakes play a critical role in ecosystem stability, and robust validation of lake models is essential for understanding their dynamics. While remote sensing data can assist with lake surface temperature validation, in situ data typically provides more accurate, reliable data not limited to only the lake surface. However, in situ temperature data for many individual lakes, particularly in North America, is difficult for researchers to quickly access in a standardized format. This database offers a well-organized collection of in situ near-surface and subsurface temperatures from 134 sites divided among 29 large North American inland lakes collected from a variety of sources. The database includes multiple subsurface temperatures throughout the depth profile of 84 of these sites, providing comprehensive data for lake model evaluation. All lakes selected for this database are large enough (over approximately 30 km^2 to be represented by large-scale operational weather models, supporting robust lake model validation efforts on the lakes that have the greatest impact on climatology.

- Description:
- Warning signals in chemically defended organisms are critical components of predator-prey interactions, often requiring multiple coordinated display components for a signal to be effective. When threatened by a predator, venomous coral snakes (genus Micrurus) display a vigorous, non-locomotory thrashing behaviour that has been only qualitatively described. Given the high-contrast and often colourful banding patterns of these snakes, this thrashing display is hypothesized to be a key component of a complex aposematic signal under strong stabilizing selection across species in a mimicry system. By experimentally testing snake response across simulated predator cues, we analysed variation in the presence and expression of a thrashing display across five species of South American coral snakes. Although the major features of the thrash display were conserved across species, we found significant variation in the propensity to perform a display at all, the duration of thrashing, and the curvature of snake bodies that was mediated by predator cue type, snake body size, and species identity. We also found an interaction between curve magnitude and body location that clearly shows which parts of the display vary most across individuals and species. Our results suggest that contrary to the assumption in the literature that all species and individuals perform the same display, a high degree of variation persists in thrashing behaviour exhibited by Micrurus coral snakes despite presumably strong selection to converge on a common signal. This quantitative behavioural characterization presents a new framework for analysing the non-locomotory motions displayed by snakes in a broader ecological context, especially for signalling systems with complex interaction across multiple modalities.

- Description:
- The goal of this project is to develop a first principle driven approach for predicting the self-assembly behavior of entropically driven crystallization. We first developed a set of mean-field theoretical framework that captures the relevant energetic contributions to the assembly process and then evaluate relevant terms within our framework to determine the excess free energy of formation for each lattice (matlab/octave codes). We then validate theoretical predictions of relevant features like shape and bonding orbitals using standard MD simulations using HOOMD-Blue (simulation scripts). and This research was supported by the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)), Newton Award for Transformative Ideas during the COVID-19 Pandemic, Award number HQ00342010030.

- We carry out a set of exploratory numerical experiments based on ocean bottom pressure and seismic data from a simulated linear array of SMART (Scientific Monitoring And Reliable Telecommunication) cable stations off the trench in the Sumatra-Java region. We use a set of earthquake rupture as well as submarine landslide scenarios to calculate tsunami propagation via hydrodynamic simulations. We also investigate the contribution of SMART stations to improvement of earthquake early warning by calculating the arrival times of seismic phases. Existing telecom cables can also contribute to the SMART network, if they are equipped with scientific sensors and repeaters. In this study we use the MOST (Method of Splitting Tsunami; Titov et al, 2016) to simulate tsunamis, and the TauP toolkit (Crotwell et al, 1999) to calculate seismic arrival times. This study was supported by grants from National Science Foundation (PREEVENTS geosciences directorate No. 1663769) and NASA JPL (Award NNN13D462T). - Crotwell, H.P., Owens, T.J. and Ritsema, J., 1999.

- Description:
- The Multifaceted Optimization Algorithm (MOA) is a tool for generating corrected empirical model thermospheric densities during geomagnetic storms. It consists of a suite of Python functions that operate around the Spacecraft Orbit Characterization Kit (SpOCK), an orbital propagator developed by Charles D. Bussy-Virat, PhD, Joel Getchius, and Aaron J. Ridley, PhD at the University of Michigan, and it estimates new densities for the NRLMSISE-00 atmospheric model. MOA generates new model densities by estimating modifications to inputs to the NLRMSISE-00 model that minimize the orbit error between modeled spacecraft in SpOCK, and their actual altitudes as described in publicly-available Two-Line Element Sets (TLEs), made available online via Space-track.org. MOA consists of three sub-process: (1) The Area Optimization Algorithm (AROPT), (2) the F10.7 Optimization Algorithm (FOPT), and (3) the Ap Optimization Algorithm (APOPT). AROPT computes the contribution to the drag of the modeled spacecraft due to their varying projected area. FOPT estimates modifications to the 10.7 cm solar radio flux in NRLMSISE-00, and APOPT estimates modifications to the Earth's magnetic activity in NRLMSISE-00. MOA finds these modifications across many spacecraft, and the medians of those modifications are then applied in NLRMSISE-00 along the orbit of another satellite to generate new densities for verification. In this instance, modifications are applied along the orbits of the Swarm spacecraft and compared to Swarm GPS-derived densities.

- Description:
- Studying the effect of wind on urban air mobility typically requires comprehensive fluid dynamics simulations in a realistic urban geometry. Motivated to enable wide-spread autonomous drone activity in urban centers, such studies have indeed been considered by several authors in the recent literature. However, the accessibility of these approaches to those with less fluid dynamics experience and/or without access to purpose built simulation tools has limited validation and application of the resulting path planning strategies. and The .dat files contain the flow variables for each of the 402240 points sampled from the region under study. For flow visualization purposes, the .dat files are readable using Tecplot Software.

- Description:
- We present a comprehensive statistical analysis of high-frequency transient-large-amplitude (TLA) magnetic perturbation events that occurred at 12 high-latitude ground magnetometer stations throughout solar cycle 24 from 2009 to 2019. TLA signatures are defined as one or more second-timescale dB/dt interval with magnitude ≥ 6 nT/s within an hour event window. This study characterizes high-frequency TLA events based on their spatial and temporal behavior as well as relation to auroral substorms, geomagnetic storm phases and nighttime geomagnetic disturbance events events (GMD). We show that TLA events occur primarily at nighttime and solely in the high-latitude region above 60 degrees geomagnetic latitude. The largest TLA events occurred more often in the declining phase of the solar cycle when solar wind velocity was higher and ring current activity was lower, suggesting association to high-speed flows caused by coronal holes and subsequent corotating interaction regions reaching Earth. TLA perturbations often occurred preceding or within the most extreme nighttime geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) events with 5-10 minute timescales, but the TLA intervals were often even more localized than the ~300 km effective radius of GMDs: occurring at only some of the stations at which GMDs occurred. We show that TLA-related GMD events can result from dipolarization fronts in the magnetotail and fast flows toward Earth and are closely temporally associated to poleward boundary intensifications (PBI) and auroral streamers. The highly localized behavior and connection to the most extreme GMD events suggests that TLA intervals are a ground manifestation of the features within rapid and complex ionospheric structures that can drive GICs.

- 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.

- Description:
- This study evaluated the performance of a video-based intervention for improving the belt fit obtained by drivers. Previous laboratory studies have demonstrated that some drivers position their seat belts suboptimally. Specifically, the lap portion of the belt may be higher and farther forward relative to the pelvis than best practice, and the shoulder portion of the belt may be outboard or inboard of mid-shoulder. A video was developed to present the most important aspects of belt fit best practices, with emphasis on the lap belt. The video demonstrated how a seat belt should be routed with respect to an individual’s anatomy to ensure a proper fit. The three key belt fit concepts conveyed in the video were: 1) Lap belt low on hips, touching the thighs. 2) Shoulder belt crossing middle of collarbone. 3) Belt snug, as close to bones as possible. Additional context about the ability to achieve to good belt fit, such as opening a heavy coat or adjusting the height adjusters on the B-pillar behind the windows, were also presented.

- Description:
- Infant eating behavior is likely driven not only by hunger and satiety reflective of caloric need, but also by the reward value of food. The reward value of food can be understood in terms of wanting, liking, and salience. Little is understood about infant response to the reward value of food, or its predictors, particularly prenatally. This project sought to understand whether prenatal factors during pregnancy predict infant reward response to food, as measured by questionnaires in early infancy.

- Description:
- The primary goal of this project was to identify domains of infant eating behavior and their trajectories over the first year of life. A convenience sample of 284 mother-infant dyads was recruited and enrolled from communities within a 1-hour driving distance of Ann Arbor, Michigan, via social media; flyers in outpatient pediatric clinics and community settings; and targeted outreach by telephone, email, and mail to pregnant women and mothers of newborn infants receiving care within the University of Michigan health system between October 2015 and February 2019. The planned sample size was based on a priori power calculations anticipating 3-5 eating behavior factors, each with 3 different trajectories, providing 81% power to detect a 10% or more change in the likelihood of exhibiting one of an anticipated 3 trajectory patterns of infant growth; the ultimate sample size of 284 was based on feasibility related to recruitment and retention. , The study included a repeated-measures, within-participant experimental design embedded within a longitudinal observational cohort study. The goal was to examine the development of infant eating behavior longitudinally at ages 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 months based on data collected from questionnaires, eating behavior experiments, and anthropometry via home visits by trained research staff. The study was described to participants as seeking to understand infant eating behavior and interactions between mothers and babies in the first year after birth. Inclusion criteria were gestational age of 37.0 to 42.0 weeks, weight appropriate for gestational age, no significant perinatal or neonatal complications, biological mother was the legal and custodial guardian, and infant’s having had consumed 2 oz or more in 1 feeding from an artificial nipple at least once per week. Exclusion criteria were mother not fluent in English; mother younger than 18 years; infant medical problems or diagnosis affecting current or future eating, growth, or development; or child protective services involvement. Mothers provided written informed consent for themselves and their infants. The study was approved by the University of Michigan institutional review board. To facilitate recruitment, dyads could be enrolled at 1 of 3 age points up to and including age 4 months; data collected at enrollment are referred to as baseline. , and Mothers responded to questionnaires on demographics, psychosocial stress, perinatal history, feeding behaviors and practices, sleep, their own eating behaviors, infant temperament, their own and the infant’s diet, and infant eating behaviors. Maternal and infant anthropometry was measured by trained research assistants. Mother-infant dyads participated in protocols designed to measure infant response to sucrose, infant ability to delay gratification, infant response to a challenging feeding, the relative reinforcing value of food, eating in the absence of hunger, capacity for regulation of energy intake in response to more frequent feedings and in response to increased caloric density, and response to novel and familiar foods. Maternal feeding behaviors were also coded from video. Biological samples included infant stool and maternal breastmilk.

- Data collected by Mooney aircraft over Houston and Denver in Summer 2020. Flights typically were designed to measure within the boundary layer in a raster pattern perpendicular to wind direction, thus sampling the urban plume repeatedly. Vertical profiles are conducted on each flight to capture the vertical structure and mixing depths of the atmosphere. The data file contains all merged flight data from each flight day.

- Description:
- The modern village of Amaghleba is located 10 km east of Vani at 80 masl and just south of the main east-west road that runs south of the Phasis River. The Kvintsqali runs through the village and powers a corn mill and small hydroelectric generator. The village is located in the Vani administrative district. Previous investigation in an area called Khumlari revealed pottery and rooftiles of the Hellenistic period; Classical period pottery was also found elsewhere in the area of Amaghleba. In 2010 four points of interest were documented in the area of Amaghleba: a Mediaeval pithos located in situ in the yard of Murman Kakamidze (B011); an 11th-century A.D. church (B012); an area on Terduradzisgora that may be Khumlari, where Hellenistic pottery was collected (B013); and the remains of a Mediaeval fortress located on a hill on the southern outskirts of the modern settlement (B016).
