Different cancers are dependent on distinct genes for their survival. The Broad institute previously ran assays on cancer cell lines that knocked out individual genes. Cell survival was subsequently measured to discover what genes were most essential to cancer survival. This dashboard uses the “essentiality” scores produced from these assays...
Lichess is an online chess platform where players can play against each other in different rating brackets. Our idea was to visualize the chess opening hierarchy by experience level on the Lichess platform catered to beginner to advanced chess players. Chess openings are specific sequences of moves played by both...
The ability of a cell to regulate its mechanical properties is central to its function. Emerging evidence suggests that interactions between the cell nucleus and cytoskeleton influence cell mechanics through poorly understood mechanisms. Here we conduct quantitative confocal imaging to show that loss of A-type lamins tends to increase nuclear...
These data are packaged as a "tarball" which includes main files. There are two main files:
training_sources.csv – list of sources in the training_lcs/ folder, including name, classification, mean mag, total number of observations, and duration of observations
test_sources.csv –list of sources in the test_lcs/ folder, including name, classification, mean...
This data set includes photometric features as measured by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS; sdss.org) that can be used as a training set in a machine learning model to separate galaxies and stars. It is used as part of a problem developed for the LSSTC Data Science Fellowship Program....
This data set was curated as part of an exercise for the LSSTC Data Science Fellowship Program (DSFP). The data are sourced from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS; sdss.org).
The following query of the SDSS database was used to select these data (note - use of "TOP" in the...
Abstract A significant component of the repetitive dynamics during locomotion in vertebrates is generated within the spinal cord. The legged locomotion of mammals is most likely controled by a hierarchical, multi-layer spinal network structure, while the axial circuitry generating the undulatory swimming motion of animals like lamprey is thought to...
Circadian rhythms — physiological, behavioral, and metabolic oscillations with an approximate 24-h period — are controlled by an evolutionarily conserved set of core clock genes operating at the transcriptional and protein level. Entrainable by Zeitgebers (external environmental stimuli such as light, temperature, and food) that modulate time-of-day specific functions, the...
This data was a part of a REDCap survey opened from 5/6/2020 to 7/7/2020. Potential participants with cerebral palsy and their families voluntarily responded to various questions about the motivators, barriers, and goals associated with the decision to participate in cerebral palsy research. Included in this work are the dataset...
Throughout the last two decades several scholars observed that present-day research into human genes rarely turns toward genes that had not already been extensively investigated in the past. Guided by hypotheses derived from studies of science and innovation, we present here a literature-wide data-driven meta-analysis to identify the specific scientific...
This is the raw data for an article in the process of being published. The article's abstract is: There is evidence suggesting that during walking the whole body center-of-mass (COM) trajectory may be a control objective, a goal that the central nervous system chooses optimal solutions around to plan and...
Background: Neural impairments that follow hemiparetic stroke may negatively affect passive muscle properties, further limiting recovery. However, factors such as hypertonia, spasticity, and botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), a common clinical intervention, confound our understanding of muscle properties in chronic stroke.
Objective: To determine if muscle passive biomechanical properties are different following...
Astronomers are studying how young stellar objects (YSOs) develop and accrete mass. The variability of the YSO brightness can give information about the rate of accretion and the growth of these young stars. The YSOs described in this project are found in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy nearby to...
My submission is a data dashboard that depicts global trends for new and total COVID-19 cases between Jan 01, 2020 and March 08, 2021. It contains two tabs (new and total cases) with three interactive visualizations. Two maps, an original and a log-scale-filled, show the number of new COVID-19 cases...
American communities of color have shouldered a disproportionate share of the COVID-19 pandemic’s burden. For instance, at peak, Hispanic/Latino Americans experienced a weekly all-cause death burden 130.9% in excess of previous years. Not all excess deaths are directly attributable to COVID-19—there is emerging evidence that delays in care associated with...
ARTICLE 3: TITLE. A phase-shifting anterior-posterior network organizes global phase relations. ABSTRACT. Prior research has identified a variety of task-dependent networks that form through inter-regional phase-locking of oscillatory activity that are neural correlates of specific behaviors. Despite ample knowledge of task-specific functional networks, general rules governing global phase relations have..., ARTICLE 1: TITLE. Probabilistic, entropy-maximizing control of large-scale neural synchronization.
ABSTRACT. Oscillatory neural activity is dynamically controlled to coordinate perceptual, attentional and cognitive processes. On the macroscopic scale, this control is reflected in the U-shaped deviations of EEG spectral-power dynamics from stochastic dynamics, characterized by disproportionately elevated occurrences of the..., and ARTICLE 2: TITLE. Spatiotemporal dynamics of maximal and minimal EEG spectral power.
ABSTRACT. Oscillatory neural activities are prevalent in the brain with their phase realignment contributing to the coordination of neural communication. Phase realignments may have especially strong (or weak) impact when neural activities are strongly synchronized (or desynchronized) within...
The data file contains federal criminal cases as observations and case attribute variables. This data file is the basis for the article Discretion and Disparity in Federal Detention, 115 Nw. U. L. Rev. 1261 (2021), available at: https://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/nulr/vol115/iss5/1/. This data file is created with data from the U.S. Sentencing Commission...
