Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; and (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers).

The ADAM spoken corpus is a collection of 450 spoken dialogues: they are both human-human (200 dialogues) and human-machine (250 dialogues). All the dialogues are recordings and transcriptions of telephone conversations in the semantic domain of tourism and railway transportation. The format of the audio files is the standard format for telephone signal data recommended by the SPEECHDAT3 project directions. Each dialogue is annotated at five levels of linguistic information: prosody, morphosyntax, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. For each level a corresponding annotation scheme has been defined that provides annotation instructions, examples and criteria. The result of each annotation is an XML file that encodes the content of a dialogue with respect to a particular level according to the annotation scheme of that level. The human-human dialogues are simulated telephone conversations between two experimental subjects, playing the roles of a travel agent and of a caller, respectively. The human-machine dialogues were collected on the field: they are interactions between callers and the automatic telephone information service of the Italian railway company, recorded during an experimental phase of that service. Each dialogue in the ADAM corpus is represented by an orthographic transcription (physically an XML file), which in turn is linked to an audio file containing the corresponding recording. In addition, the transcription of each dialogue is associated to five XML annotation files, according to five different levels or layers of linguistic information, namely prosody, morphosyntax, syntax, semantics and pragmatics.

The AGENT project aims at integrating data from different sources (genebanks, research institutes, international archives) and types (passport, phenotypic, genomic data).

These guidelines have been developed to explain the data flow within the AGENT project and should be useful for other projects.

This study seeks to examine important components of our nation's sex offender tracking and monitoring systems, with a focus on risk assessment and sexual recidivism (measured by re-arrest). Data were collected from 1,789 adult sex offenders in the following states. Florida: 500 cases Minnesota: 500 cases New Jersey: 291 cases South Carolina: 498 cases The data file contains another 551 cases from the state of Massachusetts. However, due to how and when those cases were identified they were not included in the Principal Investigator's focus and analysis. There are also another 151 cases where a study participant's state is missing. Total there are 2,491 cases and 1,947 variables.
