Replication Data for: Mason et al., submitted to Applied Engineering in Agriculture and Mason et al., submitted to JSCW
No full textThis data set contains APEX input and output files for the calibrated PAW1 model in Mason et al., submitted to Applied Engineering in Agriculture. It also contains the climate statistics files used for the scenario analysis in Mason et al., submitted to Journal of Soil and Water Conservation.
The climate statistics files correspond to the PAW1 climate scenarios as follows:
RUT_80_09.WP1: "Baseline"
RUT_warme.WP1: "Warmer"
RUT_plus.WP1: "Wetter"
RUT_wetSp.WP1: "Wet Spring"
RUT_inten.WP1: "Intense Rain"
The APEX1501 executable is required for reproducing these simulations. It can be found here: https://epicapex.tamu.edu/model-executables/</p

An Agent-Based Spatially Explicit Epidemiological Model in MASON
No full textThis paper outlines the design and implementation of an agent-based epidemiological simulation system. The system was implemented in the MASON toolkit, a set of Java-based agent-simulation libraries. This epidemiological simulation system is robust and extensible for multiple applications, including classroom demonstrations of many types of epidemics and detailed numerical experimentation on a particular disease. The application has been made available as an applet on the MASON web site, and as source code on the author\'s web site.Epidemiology, Social Networks, Agent-Based Simulation, MASON Toolkit

The Rural And Diverse Student Scholars Program At Mason
No full textThe Rural and Diverse Student Scholars Program is a National Science Foundation supported initiative that began in 2016 to strategically attract and retain talented rural and diverse students into College of Science (COS) majors. Recruiting from rural populations has emerged as a way to encourage a wider range of political view and diversify the socioeconomic status of students on college campuses (Jaschik, 2018). Considering the social-ecological model developed by Bronfenbrenner (1979, 1986) and described by Howley et al. (2016), we aim to better understand how the ecosystem of rural students relates to their choice to enroll at Mason and persist in the College of Science. This framework provides a means of exploring the various personal and environmental factors that influence behavior. To that end, we explored and assessed recruitment strategies with the goal of maximizing participation in this program and enrollment in the College of Science.
The recruitment of the students into this program is a key research element because of the challenges that exist in reaching this population. We will also discuss the combination of academic and social supports that the program has put in place to help support these students who are otherwise considered to be at high risk of leaving these programs. Following the theme of the conference, this program aims to support the whole student from before their arrival on campus, through their enrollment in a summer bridge program, to regular sessions designed to build a community and support their academic development. Participants will learn about some of the characteristics of this unique student population and how they might better reach them.

Data for: Modelling the global economic consequences of a major African swine fever outbreak in China
No full textGlobal model results of simulated shocks to pork production in China used in Mason-D'Croz et al (2020) to assess potential impacts of an African Swine Fever outbreak in China on the global food system. The scenarios explored a range of production shocks (20-80 percent), as well as sensitivity analysis around different assumptions on consumer responses. The results were simulated in a coupled bioeconomic modelling suite which included IMPACT, a global partial equilibrium model of the agriculture sector, and GLOBE, a global general equilibrium model of the full economy.
Full analysis of these scenarios is available in Mason-D'Croz et al. (2020) published in Nature Food.
Data available for download include:
- Extended model results for IMPACT and GLOBE (Model Results Supplementary Data...)
- Data underlying figures in Mason-D'Croz et al. (Published figures...)

Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here DC 2016
No full textExhibition Catalog from the Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here DC 2016 exhibit at the Fenwick Gallery, George Mason UniversityAl-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here DC 2016 is a book arts and cultural festival planned for January through March 2016, throughout the Washington, D.C. area. Exhibits, programs, and events will commemorate the 2007 bombing of Baghdad’s historic bookselling street, and celebrate the free exchange of ideas and knowledge, to stand in solidarity with the people of Iraq, who have endured so much; and with people at home and abroad who are unable to make their voices heard. In 2014 a group of non-profit institutions and passionate individuals came together to discuss their ideas and begin to organize an array of exhibitions, poetry readings, performances, hands-on street festival activities, and educational programs for the Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here project. These partners include George Mason University’s School of Art and Fenwick Library, Smith Center for Healing and the Arts, Split This Rock, McLean Project for the Arts, Corcoran School of the Arts and Design at The George Washington University and Georgetown University, Northern Virginia Community College, Cultural DC, Smithsonian Libraries, Brentwood Arts Exchange, Busboys and Poets, and George Mason University Student Media and Fourth Estate Newspaper
