Mapping Nourishment: Analyzing the Link Between Food Accessibility and Public Health in Rochester NY (2010-2025)
No full textUsing ARCGIS Pro and ArcGIS StoryMaps, this study investigates the spatial relationship between food access and public health in Rochester, NY. By mapping food deserts, the study seeks to identify patterns of food accessibility and their potential impact on community health.Submitted as part of final project for EESC 251, Spring 2025.</p
Love Data 2025: Spot the Robot - Recognizing AI-Generated A/V Material
No full textThe proliferation of generative AI (GenAI) has dominated the news cycle for the last 2 years. Most of this attention has been focused on large language models such as ChatGPT. However, the role of GenAI tools in generating images, music, and video has often been overlooked, despite its disruptive potential.Join Art & Music librarian Sarah Wood-Gagnon and STEM librarian Arjay Romanowski as they try to help you understand how A/V GenAI and give you strategies to help Spot the Robot.This webinar was presented via Zoom Thursday, February 27, 2025.</p
Figure 2 Dataset - The manufacturable flow insert is biocompatible with endothelial culture and reproduces physiological cytoskeletal remodeling with fluidic shear stress
No full textThe dataset includes raw images, endothelial cell viability data, and cell alignment data for the validation of a manufactured microfluidic component. The prism file includes the final figure outline as well as the raw tabulated data.This dataset supports Fluid flow impacts endothelial-monocyte interactions in a model of vascular inflammatory fibrosis, published in Scientific Reports, Vol. 15, Iss. 3227, January 2025.</p
Figure 5 Dataset - Monocyte circulation facilitates increased transmigration and adhesion compared to static conditions
No full textThe dataset includes raw confocal images of live-labeled monocytes cultured with or without circulating flow and in the absence or presence of a chemoattractant protein in a microfluidic device. The prism file includes the final figure outline as well as the raw quantification expression values.The images can be analyzed in a software that enables 3D image analysis, such as Imaris. To quantify fluorescently labeled monocytes in confocal images, the Spots tool in Imaris was used to identify cells based on a specified diameter (10 um). Cells below the membrane were considered to be transmigrated. A fluorescent intensity threshold was determined and kept consistent across images for Spot identification. Quantified data was exported from Imaris and analyzed in GraphPad Prism.This dataset supports Fluid flow impacts endothelial-monocyte interactions in a model of vascular inflammatory fibrosis, published in Scientific Reports, Vol. 15, Iss. 3227, January 2025. </p
Data Bloom 2024: Data Visualization with R
No full textData Bloom: Data Visualization with R was presented via Zoom on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 as part of the Fall 2024 Data Bloom webinar series.Want to show what happened on the Titanic? Join the UR Libraries for an exciting workshop on creating visualizations using R in RStudio (a free, open-source tool). Starting from basics and going up to intermediate-level skills, participants will learn how to create visualizations using both default R and ggplot2, explore programming in R Script and R Markdown, and get tips for further sprucing up the plots with Adobe Illustrator. Please note, this workshop is structured for beginners, but does include more intermediate-level skills which would be useful for more experienced programmers.This record includes all workshop activity materials, the PowerPoint slide deck, and recorded session with subtitles.</p
Data set for: The unique mating system of Tooth-billed Bowerbirds and bower evolution in the maypole-building clade
No full textAbstract. Bowerbirds have received much attention as textbook examples of intense sexual selection because most species evolving the remarkable behaviour of building elaborate bowers, which they decorate with collected objects and use as show grounds for complex courtship displays. What has received less attention is the variation among bowerbird species that do not show the extreme sexual behaviours of other polygynous species in this family. There are few hypotheses or comparative behavioural studies that explain why closely related species with non-resource-based mating systems might differ. The Tooth-billed Bowerbird (Scenopoeetes dentirostris) is unique among the polygynous bowerbird species because males form exploded lek aggregations, do not build any structure on their courts, and have almost continuous loud vocal displays throughout the day. We show that Tooth-bills differ from other bowerbirds by having unusually brief courtships, with females landing on courts already in a preliminary receptive position. Males then aggressively capture and copulate with visiting females, limiting female opportunity for mate assessment of on-court displays. Despite this, we found high variance in male mating success, with males at lek centres having the highest number of copulations. These results suggest that the position on leks allow for female assessment of male quality. Here, we propose that the exploded lek mating system of Tooth-billed Bowerbirds represents an early adaptation among maypole-building bowerbirds that could not be replicated in the habitats of later-derived species of this clade, and we explore the likely causes of these differences.</p
Adirondack Climate Stories: Storytelling and Art As Catalysts for Climate Discussions
No full textExposure to art has the remarkable power to shape individuals’ attitudes and perceptions, challenging established viewpoints, fostering empathy, and promoting critical thinking. The Adirondack Climate Project aims to forge a personal connection between individuals and climate change through art, encouraging an authentic and embodied experience of their relationship with the climate. This article will provide a detailed account of the project’s four distinct phases: story collection, creative responses, a digital archive, and community outreach.</p
