NOTE: The manuscript associated with this data package is currently in review. The data may be revised based on reviewer feedback. Upon manuscript acceptance, this data package will be updated with the final dataset and additional metadata. This data package is associated with the manuscript “High-throughput AI Video Surveys Enable Reproducible Multiscale Sediment Size Mapping, with Implications for Hydrobiogeochemical Parameterization” under review. This data package includes five data types: 1) raw photos and videos from drone survey and walking smartphone surveys; 2) images derived from raw videos; 3) manual labeling of reference scales; 4) metadata for all images and photo resolution derived from artificial intelligence (AI) models or manual labels, 5) grain size data obtained from AI models for all photos, 6) metadata and grain size data after quality control, 7) summaries of sample efficiency for all data, and 8) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data used to support hydro-biogeochemical (HBGC) parameter estimation. Such data is used to 1) demonstrate significant improvements in accuracy, efficiency, and quality control for grain size data collection with the help of AI models, 2) study the spatial heterogeneity of grain size and observation reproducibility based on tens of thousands of data points generated by the AI models, and 3) evaluate the impacts of grain size heterogeneity on key HBGC parameters across sediment-to-reach and hourly-to-yearly scales. In particular, the data package contains 116 folders and 179696 files. The files include 41 videos in .mov format, 64047 photos in .jpg format, 13541 video-derived photos in .png format, 12747 segmentation mask data in .tif format, 12747 segmentation data in .json format, 24771 .csv files that with metadata and grain size for each individual photo as well as water depth and velocity data from CFD and observation, 51791 .txt files of raw AI predicted labels, and 11 flight record data in .srt format.

The NASA MSFC Electrostatic Levitation (ESL) Laboratory: Summary of Capabilities, Recent Upgrades, and Future Work

The NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) electrostatic levitation (ESL) laboratory has a long history of providing materials research and thermophysical property data. A summary of the labs capabilities, recent upgrades, and ongoing and future work will be provided. The laboratory has recently added two new capabilities to its main levitation chamber: a rapid quench system and an oxygen control system. The rapid quench system allows samples to be dropped into a quench vessel that can be filled with a low melting point material, such as a gallium or indium alloy. Thereby allowing rapid quenching of undercooled liquid metals. The oxygen control system consists of an oxygen sensor, oxygen pump, and a control unit. The sensor is a potentiometric device that determines the difference in oxygen activity between two gas compartments separated by an electrolyte, which is yttria-stabilized zirconia. The pump utilizes coulometric titration to either add or remove oxygen. The system is controlled by a desktop control unit, which can also be accessed via a computer. This system allows the oxygen partial pressure within the vacuum chamber to be measured and controlled, theoretically in the range from 10-36 to 100 bar. The ESL laboratory also has an emissometer, called the High-Temperature Emissivity Measurement System (HiTEMS). This system measures the spectral emissivity of materials from 600degC to 3,000degC. The system consists of a vacuum chamber, a black body source, and a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR). The system utilizes optics to swap the signal between the sample and the black body. The system was originally designed to measure the hemispherical spectral emissivity of levitated samples, which are typically 2.5mm spheres. Levitation allows emissivity measurements of molten samples, but more work is required to develop this capability. The system is currently setup measure the near-normal spectral emissivity of stationary samples, which has been used to take measurements of ablative materials, rocket nozzle coating materials, and materials for spacecraft instruments.

FaceBase 3: analytical tools and FAIR resources for craniofacial and dental research

ABSTRACT The FaceBase Consortium was established by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research in 2009 as a ‘big data’ resource for the craniofacial research community. Over the past decade, researchers have deposited hundreds of annotated and curated datasets on both normal and disordered craniofacial development in FaceBase, all freely available to the research community on the FaceBase Hub website. The Hub has developed numerous visualization and analysis tools designed to promote integration of multidisciplinary data while remaining dedicated to the FAIR principles of data management (findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability) and providing a faceted search infrastructure for locating desired data efficiently. Summaries of the datasets generated by the FaceBase projects from 2014 to 2019 are provided here. FaceBase 3 now welcomes contributions of data on craniofacial and dental development in humans, model organisms and cell lines. Collectively, the FaceBase Consortium, along with other NIH-supported data resources, provide a continuously growing, dynamic and current resource for the scientific community while improving data reproducibility and fulfilling data sharing requirements.

IUE observations of Mg2 emission form Miras

A total of 61 well exposed low dispersion LWP observations were obtained from the brightest normal M-type Mira variables around their pulsation cycles. By observing Mg II throughout the cycle, the intent is to determine the shock luminosity and duration, and the density in the upper atmospheres of Miras. The data also provide a mechanism for probing the radiative cooling in postshock regions of the atmosphere as a function of time. A summary of data acquired for IUE programs SRHLW and MGIEB is presented.

Model, data, and code for paper "Modeling of streamflow in a 30-kilometer-long reach spanning 5 years using OpenFOAM 5.x"

The data package includes data, model, and code that support the analyses and conclusions in the paper titled “modeling of streamflow in a 30-kilometer-long reach spanning 5 years using OpenFOAM 5.x”. The primary goal of this paper is to demonstrate that key streamflow properties such as water depth, flow velocity, and dynamic pressure in a natural river at 30-kilometer scale over 5 years can be reliably and efficiently modeled using the computational framework presented in this paper. To support the paper, various data types from remote sensing, field observations, and computational models are used. Specific details are described as follows. Firstly, the river bathymetry data was obtained from a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) survey. This data is then converted to a triangulated surface format, STL, for mesh generation in OpenFOAM. The STL data can be found in Model_Setups/BaseCase_2013To2015/constant/triSurface. The OpenFOAM mesh generated using this STL file can be found in constant/polyMesh. Other model setups, boundary and initial conditions can be found in /system and /0.org under folder BaseCase_2013To2015. A similar data structure can also be found in BaseCase_2018To2019 for the simulations during 2018 and 2019. Secondly, the OpenFOAM simulations need the upstream discharge and water depth information at the upstream boundary to drive the model. These data are generated from a one-dimensional hydraulic model and the data can be found under the folder Model_Setups /1D model Mass1 data. The mass1_65.csv and mass1_191.csv files include the results of the 1D model at the model inlet and outlet, respectively. The Matlab source code Mass1ToOFBC20182019.m is used to convert these data into OpenFOAM boundary condition setups.With the above OpenFOAM model, it can generate data for water surface elevation, flow velocity, and dynamic pressure. In this paper, the water surface elevation was measured at 7 locations during different periods between 2011 and 2019. The exact survey locations (see Fig1_SurveyLocations.txt) can be found in folder Fig_1. The variation of water stage over time at the 7 locations can be found in folder /Observation_WSE. The data type include .txt, .csv, .xlsx, and .mat. The .mat data can be loaded by Matlab.We also measured the flow velocities at 12 cross-sections along the river. At each cross-section, we recorded the x, y locations, depth, three velocity components u,v,w. These data are saved to a Matlab format which can be found under folder /Observation_Velocity and /Fig_1. The relative locations of velocity survey locations to the river bathymetry can be found in Figure 1c.The water stage data at the 7 locations from OpenFOAM, 1D, and 2D hydraulic models are also provided to evaluate the long-term performance of 3D models vs 1D/2D models. The water stage data for the 7 locations from OpenFOAM have been saved to .mat format and can be found in /OpenFOAM_WSE. The water stage data from the 1D model are saved in .csv format and can be found in /Mass1_WSE. The water stage from the 2D model is saved as .mat format and can be found in / Mass2_WSEIn addition, the OpenFOAM model outputs the information of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressure. They are saved as .mat format under folder /Fig_11/2013_1. As the files are too large, we only uploaded the data for January 2013. The area of different ratio of dynamic pressure to static pressure for all simulation range, i.e., 2013-2015, are saved to .mat format. They can be found in /Fig_11/PA. Further, the data of wall clock time versus the solution time of the OpenFOAM modeling are also saved to .mat format under folder /Fig_13/LogsMat. In summary, the data package contains seven data types, including .txt, .csv, .xlsx, .dat, .stl, .m, and .mat. The former 4 types can be directly open using a text editor or Microsoft Office. The .mat format needs to be read by Matlab. The Matlab source code .m files need to be run with Matlab. The OpenFOAM setups can be visualized in ParaView. The .stl file can be opened in ParaView or Blender. The data in subfolders Fig_1 to Fig_10 and Fig_12 are copied from the aforementioned data folders to generate specific figures for the paper. A readME.txt file is included in each subfolder to further describe how the data in each folder are generated and used to support the paper.Please use the data package's DOI to cite the data package.

Robust control of a family of uncertain nonminimum‐phase systems via continuous‐time and sampled‐data output feedback

Summary The problem of global robust stabilization is studied by both continuous‐time and sampled‐data output feedback for a family of nonminimum‐phase nonlinear systems with uncertainty. The uncertain nonlinear system considered in this paper has an interconnect structure consisting of a driving system and a possibly unstable zero dynamics with uncertainty, ie, the uncertain driven system. Under a linear growth condition on the uncertain zero dynamics and a Lipschitz condition on the driving system, we show that it is possible to globally robustly stabilize the family of uncertain nonminimum‐phase systems by a single continuous‐time or a sampled‐data output feedback controller. The sampled‐data output feedback controller is designed by using the emulated versions of a continuous‐time observer and a state feedback controller, ie, by holding the input/output signals constant over each sampling interval. The design of either continuous‐time or sampled‐data output compensator uses only the information of the nominal system of the uncertain controlled plant. In the case of sampled‐data control, global robust stability of the hybrid closed‐loop system with uncertainty is established by means of a feedback domination method together with the robustness of the nominal closed‐loop system if the sampling time is small enough.

Initial Results of Reynolds Number Testing at LaRC's NTF Using the 2.2% Reference H Model

To develop full scale flight performance predictions an understanding of Reynolds number effects on HSCT-class configurations is essential. A wind tunnel database utilizing a 2.2% scale Reference H model in NASA Langley Research Centers National Transonic Facility is being developed to assess these Reynolds number effects. In developing this database temperature and aeroelastic corrections to the wind tunnel data have been identified and are being analyzed. Once final corrections have been developed and applied, then pure Reynolds number effects can be determined. In addition, final corrections will yield the data required for CFD validation at q = 0. Presented in this report are the results of seven tests involving the wing/body configuration. This includes summaries of data acquired in these tests, uncorrected Reynolds number effects, and temperature and aeroelastic corrections. The data presented herein illustrates the successes achieved to date as well as the challenges that will be faced in obtaining full scale flight performance predictions.

The Circumstellar Environment of Low Mass Star Forming Regions

The final technical report of the NASA grant project is presented. The goals of the grant were to: (1) analyze the data from the Far-Infrared (FIR) Camera on board the Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO); (2) acquire additional data at other wavelengths for models and (4) to develop source models for the Young stellar objects (YSOs)under study. The complete Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) from 10 microns out to 1.3 mm for all sources being studied have been obtained. The FIR imaging data was processed to reveal the maximum angular resolution possible, which allows us to model the disk. To model the disk we have the high resolution millimeter interferometry data. In summary the results to date are: (1) the vast majority of embedded YSOs in Taurus are compact at 100 microns. The models mos consistent with our data and other observations are either dominated by disk emissions, or envelopes that have relatively steep density gradients; (2) the submillimeter/millimeter photometer suggests that models are very successful. Disk emission plays an important role and must be considered when predicting the overall emission. (3) in the two cases, where we seem to have extended emission, we have to investigate other possible source models than a Shu collapse.

Long-Term Corrosivity at NASA Kennedy Space Center as a Function of Distance and Time from the Atlantic Ocean

Long-term data to record both seasonal and notional bounding values for corrosivity at multiple sites at NASA Kennedy Space Center was needed to make better materials choices for NASA-based ground and spaceflight programs. The data was valuable for two key reasons, 1) to measure corrosion rate and chloride concentration as a function of time and distance from the Atlantic Ocean, and 2) compare the corrosivity at launchpad and site-specific areas to the more accelerated conditions at the KSC Beachside Atmospheric Corrosion Test Site for coating and materials performance prediction. Sites were chosen from 45 meter (150 feet) to 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the Atlantic Ocean and corrosion variables at each site were measured throughout each year from June 2017 to April 2023, except the Beachside site, which includes data from November 2010. The summary includes corrosivity data and coating performance comparisons at select sites, which will be used as the updated NASA corrosivity standard for corrosion control requirements.

An Analysis of U.S. Civil Rotorcraft Accidents by Cost and Injury (1990-1996)

A study of rotorcraft accidents was conducted to identify safety issues and research areas that might lead to a reduction in rotorcraft accidents and fatalities. The primary source of data was summaries of National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accident reports. From 1990 to 1996, the NTSB documented 1396 civil rotorcraft accidents in the United States in which 491 people were killed. The rotorcraft data were compared to airline and general aviation data to determine the relative safety of rotorcraft compared to other segments of the aviation industry. In depth analysis of the rotorcraft data addressed demographics, mission, and operational factors. Rotorcraft were found to have an accident rate about ten times that of commercial airliners and about the same as that of general aviation. The likelihood that an accident would be fatal was about equal for all three classes of operation. The most dramatic division in rotorcraft accidents is between flights flown by private pilots versus professional pilots. Private pilots, flying low cost aircraft in benign environments, have accidents that are due, in large part, to their own errors. Professional pilots, in contrast, are more likely to have accidents that are a result of exacting missions or use of specialized equipment. For both groups judgement error is more likely to lead to a fatal accident than are other types of causes. Several approaches to improving the rotorcraft accident rate are recommended. These mostly address improvement in the training of new pilots and improving the safety awareness of private pilots.

Development and Testing of the Europa Mission's Venturi Flow Meter

NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), in collaboration with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), Fox Valve Development Corp. and Oxford Lasers, is developing a set of venturi flow meters for use on the Europa Mission's propulsion subsystem. The requirement for the venturi flow meters' throat diameters is approximately 0.040". An early risk reduction activity conducted by MSFC revealed that a venturi flow meter produced by FOX with a throat diameter near 0.040" had much higher pressure loss than venturi flow meters with larger throat diameters and venturis of similar throat diameter size but with no pressure taps (i.e. venturis with a throat length to diameter ratio of zero). In response, a series of venturi flow meters was fabricated and flow tested to gain insight into pressure recovery as it is affected by pressure port diameter, throat length and diffuser angle in an effort to improve the performance of a venturi flow meter. This presentation provides a summary of the venturi flow meter development activity including: a description of the test's objectives, a detailed description of each venturi configuration, a description of the manufacturing processes of the venturis, and observations from the test data. A summary of the current development activities will also be given, as well as the current development path forward. Ultimately, the knowledge gained through the fabrication and testing of these venturis provides guidance to design a flight venturi flow meters with pressure recoveries that is acceptable for the Europa flight application.

Dyslipidemia Profiles in Patients with Peripheral Artery Disease

Purpose of Review: This review of the literature aims to discuss the evidence linking different lipid and apolipoprotein measures to peripheral artery disease. Recent Findings: Measures of atherogenic dyslipidemia, including elevations in total cholesterol and total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol as well as low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, are strongly associated with future risk of peripheral artery disease. Compared to coronary artery disease, there are fewer data showing an association between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and future risk of peripheral artery disease. Novel lipid measures, including nuclear magnetic resonance-derived lipoproteins and oxidized lipids, may lead to better assessments of future peripheral artery disease risk. Summary: These data highlight the important differences between lipid risk factors for peripheral and coronary artery disease. Improved understanding of these distinctions may lead to new therapeutic options for patients with peripheral artery disease.
