ABSTRACT Meta-analysis is an adequate statistical technique to combine results from different studies, and its use has been growing in the medical field. Thus, not only knowing how to interpret meta-analysis, but also knowing how to perform one, is fundamental today. Therefore, the objective of this article is to present the basic concepts and serve as a guide for conducting a meta-analysis using R and RStudio software. For this, the reader has access to the basic commands in the R and RStudio software, necessary for conducting a meta-analysis. The advantage of R is that it is a free software. For a better understanding of the commands, two examples were presented in a practical way, in addition to revising some basic concepts of this statistical technique. It is assumed that the data necessary for the meta-analysis has already been collected, that is, the description of methodologies for systematic review is not a discussed subject. Finally, it is worth remembering that there are many other techniques used in meta-analyses that were not addressed in this work. However, with the two examples used, the article already enables the reader to proceed with good and robust meta-analyses. Level of Evidence V, Expert Opinion.

This data set contains NSF/NCAR GV HIAPER 1 Minute Data Merge data collected during the Deep Convective Clouds and Chemistry Experiment (DC3) from 18 May 2012 through 30 June 2012. These are updated merges from the NASA DC3 archive that were made available 13 June 2014. In most cases, variable names have been kept identical to those submitted in the raw data files. However, in some cases, names have been changed (e.g., to eliminate duplication). Units have been standardized throughout the merge. In addition, a "grand merge" has been provided. This includes data from all the individual merged flights throughout the mission. This grand merge will follow the following naming convention: "dc3-mrg60-gV_merge_YYYYMMdd_R5_thruYYYYMMdd.ict" (with the comment "_thruYYYYMMdd" indicating the last flight date included). This data set is in ICARTT format.

What is the relationship between environment and democracy? The framework of cultural evolution suggests that societal development is an adaptation to ecological threats. Pertinent theories assume that democracy emerges as societies adapt to ecological factors such as higher economic wealth, lower pathogen threats, less demanding climates, and fewer natural disasters. However, previous research confused within-country processes with between-country processes and erroneously interpreted between-country findings as if they generalize to within-country mechanisms. In this article, we analyze a time-series cross-sectional dataset to study the dynamic relationship between environment and democracy (1949-2016), accounting for previous misconceptions in levels of analysis. By separating within-country processes from between-country processes, we find that the relationship between environment and democracy not only differs by countries but also depends on the level of analysis. Economic wealth predicts increasing levels of democracy in between-country comparisons, but within-country comparisons show that democracy declines as countries become wealthier over time. This relationship is only prevalent among historically wealthy countries but not among historically poor countries, whose wealth also increased over time. By contrast, pathogen prevalence predicts lower levels of democracy in both between-country and within-country comparisons. Our longitudinal analyses identifying temporal precedence reveal that not only reductions in pathogen prevalence drive future democracy, but also democracy reduces future pathogen prevalence and increases future wealth. These nuanced results contrast with previous analyses using narrow, cross-sectional data. As a whole, our findings illuminate the dynamic process by which environment and democracy shape each other.

Methods Our Time-Series Cross-Sectional data combine various online databases. Country names were first identified and matched using R-package “countrycode” (Arel-Bundock, Enevoldsen, & Yetman, 2018) before all datasets were merged. Occasionally, we modified unidentified country names to be consistent across datasets. We then transformed “wide” data into “long” data and merged them using R’s Tidyverse framework (Wickham, 2014). Our analysis begins with the year 1949, which was occasioned by the fact that one of the key time-variant level-1 variables, pathogen prevalence was only available from 1949 on. See our Supplemental Material for all data, Stata syntax, R-markdown for visualization, supplemental analyses and detailed results (available at https://osf.io/drt8j/).

KORUSAQ_Merge_Data are pre-generated merge data files combining various products collected during the KORUS-AQ field campaign. This collection features pre-generated merge files for the DC-8 aircraft. Data collection for this product is complete.The KORUS-AQ field study was conducted in South Korea during May-June, 2016. The study was jointly sponsored by NASA and Korea’s National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER). The primary objectives were to investigate the factors controlling air quality in Korea (e.g., local emissions, chemical processes, and transboundary transport) and to assess future air quality observing strategies incorporating geostationary satellite observations. To achieve these science objectives, KORUS-AQ adopted a highly coordinated sampling strategy involved surface and airborne measurements including both in-situ and remote sensing instruments.Surface observations provided details on ground-level air quality conditions while airborne sampling provided an assessment of conditions aloft relevant to satellite observations and necessary to understand the role of emissions, chemistry, and dynamics in determining air quality outcomes. The sampling region covers the South Korean peninsula and surrounding waters with a primary focus on the Seoul Metropolitan Area. Airborne sampling was primarily conducted from near surface to about 8 km with extensive profiling to characterize the vertical distribution of pollutants and their precursors. The airborne observational data were collected from three aircraft platforms: the NASA DC-8, NASA B-200, and Hanseo King Air. Surface measurements were conducted from 16 ground sites and 2 ships: R/V Onnuri and R/V Jang Mok.The major data products collected from both the ground and air include in-situ measurements of trace gases (e.g., ozone, reactive nitrogen species, carbon monoxide and dioxide, methane, non-methane and oxygenated hydrocarbon species), aerosols (e.g., microphysical and optical properties and chemical composition), active remote sensing of ozone and aerosols, and passive remote sensing of NO2, CH2O, and O3 column densities. These data products support research focused on examining the impact of photochemistry and transport on ozone and aerosols, evaluating emissions inventories, and assessing the potential use of satellite observations in air quality studies.

This is the dataset that accompanies an article entitled "The use of insect life tables in optimizing invasive pest distributional models" that would be published in Ecography. The dataset include two R script that used to generate physical model and the physiology combined model respectively. Our paper shows that the physiology combined model show good performance when applying ecological niche model in risk assessment. We addressed this by determining whether incorporating physiological data from life table analyses of an invasive insect, Drosophila suzukii, improved predictions of ecological niche models. The dataset also include the physiology data D. suzukii that we assembled for running our physiology combined model.

Sequential designs and competing risks methodology are both well established. Their combined use has recently received some attention from a theoretical perspective, but their joint application in practice has been discussed less. The aim of this paper is to provide the applied statistician with a basic understanding of both sequential design theory and competing risks methodology and how to combine them in practice. Relevant references to more detailed theoretical discussions are provided and all discussions are illustrated using a real case study. Extensive R and SAS code is provided in the online supplementary material.

An experimental break-adjusted soil-moisture product has been generated by the ESA Soil Moisture Climate Change Initiative (Soil_Moisture_cci) project for their v07.1 data release. The product attempts to reduce breaks in the final CCI product by matching the statistics of the datasets between merging periods. At v07.1, the break-adjustment process (explained in Preimesberger et al. 2020) is applied only to the COMBINED product, using ERA5 soil moisture as a reference. The Soil Moisture CCI COMBINED dataset is one of three datasets created as part of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Soil Moisture Essential Climate Variable (ECV) Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project. The product has been created by directly merging Level 2 scatterometer and radiometer soil moisture products derived from the AMI-WS, ASCAT, SMMR, SSM/I, TMI, AMSR-E, WindSat, FY-3B, FY-3C, FY3D, AMSR2, SMOS, GPM and SMAP satellite instruments. PASSIVE and ACTIVE products have also been created.

The v07.1 COMBINED break-adjusted product, provided as global daily images in NetCDF-4 classic file format, presents a global coverage of surface soil moisture at a spatial resolution of 0.25 degrees. It is provided in volumetric units [m3 m-3] and covers the period (yyyy-mm-dd) 1978-11-01 to 2021-12-31. For information regarding the theoretical and algorithmic base of the product, please see the Algorithm Theoretical Baseline Document and Preimesberger et al. 2020.

These are the streamwise velocity time series measured in the wakes of two sets of porous discs in side-by-side setting as used in the manuscript ``Wake merging and turbulence transition downstream of side-by-side porous discs´´ which is accepted by Journal of Fluid Mechanics. Data was obtained by means of hot-wire anemometry in the Large Scale Wind Tunnel at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in near-laminar inflow (background turbulence intensity of approximately 0.3%) at an inflow velocity of 10m/s (diameter-based Reynolds number 125000). Two types of porous discs with diameters D = 0.2m, one with uniform blockage and one with radially changing blockage, were used. Three spacings, namely 1.5D, 2D and 3D, were investigated. Span-wise profiles were measured at 8D and 30D downstream for each case, and a streamwise profile along the centerline between the discs was additionally obtained. In addition, measurements downstream of both disc types (singe disc setting) are provided as comparison. The scope of these experiments was to study the merging mechanisms of the turbulence when the two wakes are meeting.
