Grain Boundary Dynamics
(2022-03-14)The purpose of this study is to understand the dynamics of grain boundaries in colloidal crystals. An interfacial shear results in constant reorganization of the grain boundaries. -
Analysis of Vapor-Liquid Coexistence in Colloidal Systems
(2022-02-15)This data set created in 2020 describes analysis of a superparamagnetic colloidal system forced to phase separate into a liquid-vapor coexistence. The liquid clusters and bulk particles are analyzed and modeled with classical thermodynamics. -
Activating natural product synthesis using CRISPR interference and activation systems in Streptomyces
(2021-10-27)The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria represents a major threat to global health, creating an urgent need to discover new antibiotics. Natural products derived from the genus Streptomyces represent a rich and diverse repertoire of chemical molecules from which new antibiotics are likely to be found. However, a major challenge is that the ... -
Mechanical Strength of Water-Saturated Solnhofen Limestone at Elevated Temperatures
(2021-10-07)The data is a record of the stress and strain during experimental deformation of Solnhofen limestone across its brittle (localized deformation) to ductile (distributed deformation) transition. We conducted conventional triaxial compression tests on both water-saturated and nominally dry cores of Solnhofen at temperatures up to 200 Celsius and effective ... -
Can Deep Learning Predict Complete Ruptures in Numerical Megathrust Faults?
(2021-08-18)This dataset accompanies the paper, "Can Deep Learning Predict Complete Ruptures in Numerical Megathrust Faults?". The directory contains full python codes used to create Convolutional Neural Networks and Long Short Term Memory Recurrent Neural Networks, along with the raw data used for training, testing, and validation. Since stochastic initialization ... -
Ultrasonic measurements on Orocopia schist
(2021-07-27)The purpose of the study is to calculate the speed of waves in a rock from the time of arrival. Four datasets are representing experimental measurements at 4 different experimental conditions. The data provided are waves measured in time, with amplitude and energy of the wave. The heading is the experimental setup. -
Shakespeare Passages Recommendation System
This repository holds the code for an intertextual recommendation system that links passages in the Shakespearean dramatic corpus (as digitized by Folger) to one another based entirely on scholarly citations/quotations (as identified by JSTOR Labs in their collection of digitized works, and made available in what was called their Matchmaker API). -
Herschel Observatory Sweep Data and Stellarium Plugin Database
(2021)This zip file relates to the deep-space astronomical sweeps of Caroline and William Herschel, conducted in Slough, England. It was hand-transcribed from records at the Royal Astronomical Society, and could be improved upon: corrections, expansions to include missing records or John Herschel's sweeps, for instance. It contains: the transcriptions ... -
Rational engineering of a modular bacterial CRISPR-Cas activation platform with expanded target range
(2020)CRISPR-Cas activator (CRISPRa) systems that selectively turn on transcription of a target gene are a potentially transformative technology for programming cellular function. While in eukaryotes versatile CRISPRa systems exist, in bacteria these systems suffer from a limited ability to activate different genes due to strict distance-dependent requirements ... -
Mixed heating velocity scaling input files
(2020-09-29)The input files were used to explore the effects of mixed heating on convective velocity scaling -
OW1 Data InOut
(2020-08-20)The parameter inputs and data outputs provided herein were used to establish the hypothesis that changes in deep water cycling lead to a multi-stage cooling of the Earth. -
Data for the article: Pore fluid pressures and strength contrasts maintain frontal fault activity, northern Hikurangi
(2020-07-29)This data set archives the experimental rock deformation data reported in "Pore fluid pressures and strength contrasts maintain frontal fault activity, northern Hikurangi". In this paper, we present the results of five deformation experiments conducted on samples recovered during the Intergrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 375. -
Mathematica Programs for "Automation: Wage Stagnation and Inequality" [Dataset]
(2020)This describes the calculations made to determine the effect of automation a developed economy and published as a working paper for Baker Institute of Public Policy. It includes two main types of calculation: 1. two folders with “workup” in the title containing the conversion of the works of others into the parameters needed for ... -
Simple ultraviolet microscope using off-the-shelf components for point-of-care diagnostics.
(2019-02-12)At the primary care setting, where there are often no or minimal laboratories, examinations often consist of self-testing and rapid diagnostics. Because of this, medical devices must be simple, robust, and easy to operate. To address these concerns, an alternate fluorescence microscope design uses ultraviolet (UV) excitation, since fluorescent dyes ...
