Project description:This data article comprises experimental data to investigate the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the Orion beam structure, which consists of two duraluminum beams assembled by bolted joints. To retain contact on a small area between both beams, this new lap-joint configuration proposes contact patches at each bolt connection. The Orion beam suggests an assembly configuration that associates bolts dedicated to 'static' functions and to those to perform 'damping' functions. This ensures a significant increase in the structural damping without degrading the structural stiffness. Experiments have been performed on the laboratory ple Vibration and Acoustic, located at FEMTO-ST Institute, CNRS/UFC/ENSMM/UTBM, Department of Applied Mechanics, 24 chemin de lEpitaphe, 25000 Besanon, France. This data aim to provide the geometrical step and all the experimental measurements performed on our lap-joint for several excitation amplitudes and tightening torques, as far as possible and with the degree of uncertainties of the measurements. By doing so, we intend to provide experimental data, as precise and reliable as possible, which are required to progress on the numerical modelling of the dry friction damping in assembly structures. This Data in Brief article is an additional research item alongside the following paper published in the Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing journal: R. O. Teloli, P. Butaud, G. Chevallier and S. da Silva, Good practices for designing and experimental testing of dynamically excited jointed structures: the Orion beam.

Project description:This paper introduces a differential vibrating beam MEMS accelerometer demonstrating excellent long-term stability for applications in gravimetry and seismology. The MEMS gravimeter module demonstrates an output Allan deviation of 9 ?Gal for a 1000?s integration time, a noise floor of 100 ?Gal/?Hz, and measurement over the full ±1?g dynamic range (1?g?=?9.81?ms-2). The sensitivity of the device is demonstrated through the tracking of Earth tides and recording of ground motion corresponding to a number of teleseismic events over several months. These results demonstrate that vibrating beam MEMS accelerometers can be employed for measurements requiring high levels of stability and resolution with wider implications for precision measurement employing other resonant-output MEMS devices such as gyroscopes and magnetometers.

Project description:This data article comprises post-processed data to investigate the non-linear dynamic behavior of the CEA-beam benchmark structure that is a clamped-clamped steel beam with non-ideal boundary conditions. Experiments have been performed on the CEA-CESTA laboratory. The data provided include output measurements for the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the CEA-beam (i.e. the displacement amplitudes for each harmonic component at the middle of the beam), as well as the complete input acceleration signal harmonics amplitude. All the results from this data will help researchers and engineers in proper analysis of the nonlinearities of the clamped-clamped beam and the effect of the non-ideal input signal and advanced understanding of links between different excitation signal and the multi-harmonic responses of the CEA-beam. One of the main original contribution is to share the data sets to give the opportunity to researchers for testing and validating analytical or numerical models of a nonlinear beam with non-ideal boundary conditions and subjected to low and high levels of excitation signal.

Project description:Digital data collection during routine clinical practice is now ubiquitous within hospitals. The data contains valuable information on the care of patients and their response to treatments, offering exciting opportunities for research. Typically, data are stored within archival systems that are not intended to support research. These systems are often inaccessible to researchers and structured for optimal storage, rather than interpretability and analysis. Here we present MIMIC-IV, a publicly available database sourced from the electronic health record of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Information available includes patient measurements, orders, diagnoses, procedures, treatments, and deidentified free-text clinical notes. MIMIC-IV is intended to support a wide array of research studies and educational material, helping to reduce barriers to conducting clinical research.

Project description:This data article comprises data to investigate the non-linear dynamic behavior of the CEA-beam benchmark structure subjected to one stochastic broadband excitation.

All the results from this data will help researchers and engineers in proper analysis of hardening effect and the enlargement of the response peak due to one stochastic broadband excitation, as well as the presence of harmonics. One of the main original contributions is to share the data sets to give the opportunity to researchers for testing and validating analytical or numerical models of a nonlinear beam with non-ideal boundary conditions and subjected to one stochastic broadband excitation.

Project description:Existing methods to quantify fluorescent signals are primarily limited to non-moving objects or tracking a limited number of cells. These techniques, however, are unsuitable for measuring fluorescent signals in time-lapse experiments using plant specimens that move naturally during a course of imaging. We developed an automated method to measure fluorescent signal intensities in transgenic Arabidopsis plants using a stereomicroscope with standard microscopy software. The features of our technique include: 1) recognizing the shape of plant specimens using autofluorescent signals; 2) merging targeted fluorescent signals to specimen outlines; 3) extracting signals within the shape of specimens from their background signals. Our method facilitates the measurement of fluorescent signals on freely moving plant leaves that are physically unrestrained. The method we developed addresses the challenge of recognizing plant shapes without relying on: a) manual definition which is prone to subjectivity and human error; b) introducing stable fluorescent markers to define plant shapes; c) recognizing plant shapes from bright field images which include a wide range of colors and background noise; d) unnecessarily stressing plants by immobilizing them; e) the use of multiple software packages or software development expertise.

Project description:Asphaltenes, a distinct class of molecules found in crude oil, exhibit insolubility in nonpolar solvents like n-heptane but are soluble in aromatic solvents such as toluene and benzene. Understanding asphaltenes is crucial in the petroleum industry due to their detrimental effects on oil processing, resulting in significant economic losses and production disruptions. While no singular structure defines asphaltenes, two major molecular architectures, namely archipelago and continental models, have gained wide acceptance for their consistency with various experimental investigations and subsequent use in computational studies. The archipelago model comprises two or more polyaromatic hydrocarbon entities interconnected via aliphatic side chains. In contrast, the island or continental model features a unified polyaromatic hydrocarbon moiety with 4 to 10 fused aromatic rings, averaging around 7 rings. To establish a comprehensive collection, we meticulously curated over 250 asphaltene structures derived from previous experimental and computational studies in this field. Our curation process involved an extensive literature survey, conversion of figures from publications into molecular structure files, careful verification of conversion accuracy, and structure editing to ensure alignment with molecular formulas. Our database provides digital structure files and optimized geometries for both predominant structural motifs. The optimization procedure commenced with the PM6 semi-empirical method, followed by further optimization utilizing density functional theory employing the B3LYP functional and the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. Furthermore, we compiled a range of structural and electronic features for these molecules, serving as a valuable foundation for employing machine learning algorithms to investigate asphaltenes. This work provides a ready to use structural database of asphaltenes and sets the stage for future research endeavours in this domain.

Project description:Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a scalp-recorded electrical potential that occurs in humans in response to an auditory stimulus that defies previously established patterns of regularity. MMN amplitude is reduced in people with schizophrenia. In this study, we aimed to develop a robust and replicable rat model of MMN, as a platform for a more thorough understanding of the neurobiology underlying MMN. One of the major concerns for animal models of MMN is whether the rodent brain is capable of producing a human-like MMN, which is not a consequence of neural adaptation to repetitive stimuli. We therefore tested several methods that have been used to control for adaptation and differential exogenous responses to stimuli within the oddball paradigm. Epidural electroencephalographic electrodes were surgically implanted over different cortical locations in adult rats. Encephalographic data were recorded using wireless telemetry while the freely-moving rats were presented with auditory oddball stimuli to assess mismatch responses. Three control sequences were utilized: the flip-flop control was used to control for differential responses to the physical characteristics of standards and deviants; the many standards control was used to control for differential adaptation, as was the cascade control. Both adaptation and adaptation-independent deviance detection were observed for high frequency (pitch), but not low frequency deviants. In addition, the many standards control method was found to be the optimal method for observing both adaptation effects and adaptation-independent mismatch responses in rats. Inconclusive results arose from the cascade control design as it is not yet clear whether rats can encode the complex pattern present in the control sequence. These data contribute to a growing body of evidence supporting the hypothesis that rat brain is indeed capable of exhibiting human-like MMN, and that the rat model is a viable platform for the further investigation of the MMN and its associated neurobiology.

Project description:This data article comprises data to investigate the non-linear dynamic behavior of the beam benchmark structure that is a clamped-clamped steel beam with non-ideal boundary conditions subjected to two broadband correlated or uncorrelated random excitations. Experiments have been performed on the CEA-CESTA laboratory. The data provided include output measurements for the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the CEA-beam (i.e., the accelerations amplitudes for the three accelerometers on the beam), as well as the two input forces amplitudes. In comparison with the data provided in [4] which only considers the case of a single exitation, experimental results are extended for the CEA-beam system subjected to two correlated or uncorrelated broadband random excitations. All the results from this data will help researchers and engineers in proper analysis of the nonlinearities of the clamped-clamped beam and the effects of the correlation between two broadband correlated or uncorelated random excitations on the nonlinear signature of this academic structure. One of the main original contributions is to share the data sets to give the opportunity to researchers for testing and validating analytical or numerical models of a nonlinear beam with non-ideal boundary conditions and subjected to multipoint correlated or uncorrelated random excitations.

Project description:Evaluation of neurodegenerative disease progression may be assisted by quantification of the volume of structures in the human brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Automated segmentation software has improved the feasibility of this approach, but often the reliability of measurements is uncertain. We have established a unique dataset to assess the repeatability of brain segmentation and analysis methods. We acquired 120 T1-weighted volumes from 3 subjects (40 volumes/subject) in 20 sessions spanning 31 days, using the protocol recommended by the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Each subject was scanned twice within each session, with repositioning between the two scans, allowing determination of test-retest reliability both within a single session (intra-session) and from day to day (inter-session). To demonstrate the application of the dataset, all 3D volumes were processed using FreeSurfer v5.1. The coefficient of variation of volumetric measurements was between 1.6% (caudate) and 6.1% (thalamus). Inter-session variability exceeded intra-session variability for lateral ventricle volume (P<0.0001), indicating that ventricle volume in the subjects varied between days.
