Title: Calibration and Release of Magnetograms/Dopplergrams Obtained at the Mt. Wilson 150-Foot Tower Telescope (MWO)
Abstract The Mt. Wilson Observatory archive of observations of solar disk magnetic fields, Doppler velocities, and spectral line intensities is a resource for studying the Sun’s state from 1967 to 2013. Instrument changes/upgrades during this time must be considered when interpreting this record. Portions of this record have been previously released. This publication documents the data record in order to allow its independent interpretation. The archive is available through two directory trees which can be accessed athttp://sha.stanford.edu/mwo/msm.html. The calibration of the observations is impacted by the solar surface convective flows, which produce offsets for both differential rotation and meridional circulation functions. The effects of these offsets have been reduced in this and other publications by temporal averaging.  more » « less

    Abstract Proleptic (or prothetic) objects (Majaliwa remembered about Samson that he’s sick) present a particular puzzle because they appear to instantiate an unconstrained cross-clausal dependency between the proleptic object (Samson) and a correlate (he). The current analytical approach to prolepsis is relies on a syntactic mechanism of treating the embedded clause as a predicate, derived by merging a null operator which unselectively binds the correlate. This approach faces a number of known empirical challenges. Moreover, this work does not meaningfully engage with any of the recent semantic innovations in our understanding of embedded clauses (Kratzer 2006. Decomposing attitude verbs. Available at:http://semanticsarchive.net/Archive/DcwY2JkM/attitude-verbs2006.pdf). I offer an alternative to the CP-predicate approach, adopting three (semi-)independently motivated ideas concerning (i) the syntax of cross-clausal dependencies in Lohninger et al. (2022. From prolepsis to hyperraising.Philosophies7(32)), (ii) the semantics of embedded clauses in Kratzer (2006. Decomposing attitude verbs. Available at:http://semanticsarchive.net/Archive/DcwY2JkM/attitude-verbs2006.pdf)/Moulton (2009. Not moving clauses: Connectivity in clausal arguments.Syntax16(3). 250–291), and (iii) the semantics ofaboutin Rawlins (2013. About about.Proceedings of SALT23. 336–357)/Onea and Mardale (2020. From topic to object, grammaticalization differential object marking in Romanian.Canadian Journal of Linguistics/Revue Canadienne de Linguistique65(3). 350–392). I argue that proleptic objects are complex-NPs, roughly,the thing about Samson. The somewhat particular properties of prolepsis are natural consequences of these combined ideas. I further present empirical evidence from Japanese that the complex-NP analysis is on the right track. This analysis deepens our understanding of prolepsis by including both semantic and syntactic factors.

    Abstract The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB), funded by the US National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and Department of Energy, has served structural biologists and Protein Data Bank (PDB) data consumers worldwide since 1999. RCSB PDB, a founding member of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) partnership, is the US data center for the global PDB archive housing biomolecular structure data. RCSB PDB is also responsible for the security of PDB data, as the wwPDB‐designated Archive Keeper. Annually, RCSB PDB serves tens of thousands of three‐dimensional (3D) macromolecular structure data depositors (using macromolecular crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and micro‐electron diffraction) from all inhabited continents. RCSB PDB makes PDB data available from its research‐focusedRCSB.orgweb portal at no charge and without usage restrictions to millions of PDB data consumers working in every nation and territory worldwide. In addition, RCSB PDB operates an outreach and educationPDB101.RCSB.orgweb portal that was used by more than 800,000 educators, students, and members of the public during calendar year 2020. This invited Tools Issue contribution describes (i) how the archive is growing and evolving as new experimental methods generate ever larger and more complex biomolecular structures; (ii) the importance of data standards and data remediation in effective management of the archive and facile integration with more than 50 external data resources; and (iii) new tools and features for 3D structure analysis and visualization made available during the past yearviatheRCSB.orgweb portal.

    Abstract The vast size of the Sun’s heliosphere, combined with sparse spacecraft measurements over that large domain, makes numerical modeling a critical tool to predict solar wind conditions where there are no measurements. This study models the solar wind propagation in 2D using the BATSRUS MHD solver to form the MSWIM2D data set of solar wind in the outer heliosphere. Representing the solar wind from 1 to 75 au in the ecliptic plane, a continuous model run from 1995–present has been performed. The results are available for free athttp://csem.engin.umich.edu/mswim2d/. The web interface extracts output at desired locations and times. In addition to solar wind ions, the model includes neutrals coming from the interstellar medium to reproduce the slowing of the solar wind in the outer heliosphere and to extend the utility of the model to larger radial distances. The inclusion of neutral hydrogen is critical to recreating the solar wind accurately outside of ∼4 au. The inner boundary is filled by interpolating and time-shifting in situ observations from L1 and STEREO spacecraft when available. Using multiple spacecraft provides a more accurate boundary condition than a single spacecraft with time shifting alone. Validations of MSWIM2D are performed using MAVEN and New Horizons observations. The results demonstrate the efficacy of this model to propagate the solar wind to large distances and obtain practical, useful solar wind predictions. For example, the rms error of solar wind speed prediction at Mars is only 66 km s−1and at Pluto is a mere 25 km s−1.

    Abstract Analyses of publicly available structural data reveal interesting insights into the impact of the three‐dimensional (3D) structures of protein targets important for discovery of new drugs (e.g., G‐protein‐coupled receptors, voltage‐gated ion channels, ligand‐gated ion channels, transporters, and E3 ubiquitin ligases). The Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive currently holds > 155,000 atomic‐level 3D structures of biomolecules experimentally determined using crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. The PDB was established in 1971 as the first open‐access, digital‐data resource in biology, and is now managed by the Worldwide PDB partnership (wwPDB;wwPDB.org). US PDB operations are the responsibility of the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics PDB (RCSB PDB). The RCSB PDB serves millions ofRCSB.orgusers worldwide by delivering PDB data integrated with ∼40 external biodata resources, providing rich structural views of fundamental biology, biomedicine, and energy sciences. Recently published work showed that the PDB archival holdings facilitated discovery of ∼90% of the 210 new drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration 2010–2016. We review user‐driven development of RCSB PDB services, examine growth of the PDB archive in terms of size and complexity, and present examples and opportunities for structure‐guided drug discovery for challenging targets (e.g., integral membrane proteins).

    Abstract For 20 years, Molecule of the Month articles have highlighted the functional stories of 3D structures found in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The PDB is the primary archive of atomic structures of biological molecules, currently providing open access to more than 150,000 structures studied by researchers around the world. The wealth of knowledge embodied in this resource is remarkable, with structures that allow exploration of nearly any biomolecular topic, including the basic science of genetic mechanisms, mechanisms of photosynthesis and bioenergetics, and central biomedical topics like cancer therapy and the fight against infectious disease. The central motivation behind the Molecule of the Month is to provide a user‐friendly introduction to this rich body of data, charting a path for users to get started with finding and exploring the many available structures. The Molecule of the Month and related materials are updated regularly at the education portal PDB‐101 (http://pdb101.rcsb.org/), offering an ongoing resource for molecular biology educators and students around the world.
