A Regression-Ready Data Collection: Occupational Conditions and Musculoskeletal Disorders Dummy Coded for Symptoms and Outcomes
No full textThis is an analytical data collection meticulously prepared for a regression analysis, specifically linking 43 U.S. occupational conditions to the incidence of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). The raw data was transformed into a regression-ready format by partitioning the information into sub-collections, applying a binary dummy code (0 or 1), and then recombining the data. This crucial step was performed to dummy code the MSDs for symptoms and outcomes, enabling their use as moderating variables in quantitative modeling. This collection directly supports the analysis and findings presented in the associated paper, titled: "Job-Related Determinants of Musculoskeletal Disorders in U.S. Occupations.
A comparison of methods to quantify nano- and/or microplastic (NMPs) deposition in wild caught eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) growing in a heavily urbanized, subtropical estuary (Galveston Bay, U.S.A)
No full textNano- and micro-plastics (NMPs) in waterways reflect the impact of anthropogenic activities. This study examined spatial variations in the presence and types of NMPs in Galveston Bay (Texas, USA) surface waters and eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica). Results reveal most MPs carried by surface waters are fibers > films > fragments. Up to 200 MPs were present in individual oysters [= 1.88 (± 0.22 SE) per g wet weight]. Oyster health, based on condition index, varied spatially, but was not correlated with MP load. Based on Attenuated attenuated Total total Reflectance reflectance - fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, polyamide and polypropylene were frequently found in waters in the upper bay while ethylene propylene and polyethylene terephthalate were more common in the lower parts of the bay. Pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry revealed a very large range in concentrations of NMPs, from 28 to 10,925 µg ∑NMP/g wet weight (or 172 to 67,783 µg ∑NMP/ g dry weight) in oysters. This chemical analysis revealed four main types of plastics present in oysters regardless of location: polypropylene, nylon 66, polyethylene and styrene butadiene rubber. Based on this finding, the average daily intake of NMPs estimated for adult humans is 0.85 ± 0.45 mg NMPs/Kg of body weight/day or a yearly intake of 310 ± 164 mg NMPs/Kg body weight/year. These findings reveal higher body burdens of plastics in oysters revealed by the chemical analysis relative to the traditional approach; this is not unexpected given the higher sensitivity and selectivity of mass spectrometry and inclusion of the nano-plastic particle range (i.e., <1 mm) in the sample preparation and analysis
Using Data Envelopment Analysis to Identify STEM Best Practices at High Performing Hispanic Serving Institutions
No full textSponsored by the National Science Foundation's Building Capacity in STEM Education Research (BCSER) Program (Award: 2125636), this data collection is the result of a two-year study using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) at the National Center for Education Statistics, to effectively measure the efficiency of Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) graduating Hispanics with STEM degrees. The guiding research question was: On what input measures do we select efficient HSIs to serve other HSI institutions as possible benchmarks for program improvement in graduating Hispanics with STEM degrees

Angular scattering data of translating samples
No full textThis dataset contains angular scattering measurements (non-interferometric) of a scattering phantom undergoing translation motion between frames. Parameters of the angle-scanning imaging system are also included.
Matlab code to run the space-time inverse-scattering reconstruction to recover the sample's 3D RI as well as its motion trajectory can be found on Github:

Art and literature joint review session: Plastic arts topics
No full textPart 1: The review session over plastic arts intend to summarize the points raised in the previous two days' session, as to whether or not Latin American art exists today as a distinct expression. Fernando Gamboa summarizes the discussions held over the last two days, praising the panelists in defending their perspectives and rejecting all models. Barbara Duncan points out the international dimension of Latin American art, referring to the transcendent nature of plastic expression and contemporary art in the post-war era.
Part 2: Key panelists draw in on the discussions held over the previous two days. Dore Ashton touches on the parallels that Latin American and other artists share, despite differing languages. Fernando Gamboa emphasizes the relationships between Latin American economic conditions, education, and governmental factors that contribute to the attitudes and support for art in the respective countries. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, asking if the production of Art for a Latin American is still valid as a Latin American art, to which the panelists say yes due to the artist's internal identity
