Overview This dataset re-shares cartographic and demographic data from the U.S. Census Bureau to provide an obvious supplement to Open Environments Block Group publications.These results do not reflect any proprietary or predictive model. Rather, they extract from Census Bureau results with some proportions and aggregation rules applied. For additional support or more detail, please see the Census Bureau citations below. Cartographics refer to shapefiles shared in the Census TIGER/Line publications. Block Group areas are updated annually, with major revisions accompanying the Decennial Census at the turn of each decade. These shapes are useful for visualizing estimates as a map and relating geographies based upon geo-operations like overlapping. This data is kept in a geodatabase file format and requires the geopandas package and its supporting fiona and DAL software. Demographics are taken from popular variables in the American Community Survey (ACS) including age, race, income, education and family structure. This data simply requires csv reader software or pythons pandas package. While the demographic data has many columns, the cartographic data has a very, very large column called "geometry" storing the many-point boundaries of each shape. So, this process saves the data separately, with demographics columns in a csv file and geometry in a gpd file needed an installation of geopandas, fiona and DAL software. More details on the ACS variables selected and derivation rules applied can be found in the commentary docstrings in the source code found here: https://github.com/OpenEnvironments/blockgroupdemographics. ## Files While the demographic data has many columns, the cartographic data has a very, very large column called "geometry" storing the many-point boundaries of each shape. So, this process saves the data separately, with demographics columns in a csv file named YYYYblcokgroupdemographics.csv. The cartographic column, 'geometry', is shared as file named YYYYblockgroupdemographics-geometry.pkl. This file needs an installation of geopandas, fiona and DAL software.

The global developer population is expected to reach 28.7 million people by 2024, an increase of 3.2 million from the number seen in 2020. According to the source, much of this growth is expected to occur in China, where the growth rate is between six percent to eight percent heading up to 2023. How much do software developers earn in the U.S.? Software developers work within a wide array of specialties, honing their skills in different programming languages, techniques, or in disciplines such as design. The average salary of U.S.-based designers working in software development reached 108 thousand U.S. dollars as of June 2021, while this figure climbs to 165 thousand U.S. dollars for engineering managers. Salaries are highly dependent on location, however, with an entry-level developer working in the San Francisco/Bay area earning an average of 44.79 percent more than their counterparts starting out in Austin. JavaScript and HTML/CSS still the most widely used languages While programming languages continue to emerge or fall out of favor, JavaScript and HTML/CSS are mainstays of the coding landscape. In a global survey of software developers, over 60 percent of respondents reported using JavaScript, and HTML/CSS. SQL, Python, and Java rounded out the top five.

In a matter of days we have used my customizable software package to grow O.T.I.'s Facebook page likes from 10k to almost 18k likes. From the graph presented in the updated pdf, you can clearly see the impact our training phase had on the advertising performance, showcasing how the software package's suggestions increased/decreased page engagement.

Once the training phase was completed a sharp increase in page likes, fan enagement, and shares was observed. An increase in external online traffic at the website and blog, as well as offline traffic was also observed.

We will be putting together a full report on this software once we have completed our investigation.

It is versatile, and our results suggest that it can be customized to any page producing any content. We have used similar generic engines, powered by neural networks, to locate patterns in other areas of science (reaction prediction software). The key to our work is a series of custom neural networks. A group to locate patterns, and another series of groups for additional pattern analysis once key parameters have been identified.

This software package has significant commercial value and utilizes novel concepts in computer science/probability that will not be described publicly for proprietary reasons.

The current study aims to examine lecturer readiness for English Medium Instruction (EMI) in higher educational institutions and the contextual influences of gender, age, academic qualification, teaching experience, EMI course teaching involvement, and EMI training. A quantitative research design was employed, and a survey questionnaire was completed by 227 lecturers (out of 250 invited participants) from private universities in Klang Valley, Malaysia to gauge self-ratings of personal knowledge, skills, abilities, and attitudes in educating EMI courses. The collected data were subsequently analysed via the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27.0 software before revealing the findings from the inferential statistics of the t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) on lecturers’ gender, age, academic qualification, teaching experience, EMI course teaching involvement, and EMI training. Resultantly, the important role of lecturers’ knowledge, understanding, skills, abilities, and attitudes was highlighted to further enhance intercultural communicative competence in managing the increasingly diversified student body in EMI classrooms.

The Bureau of the Census has released Census 2000 Summary File 1 (SF1) 100-Percent data. The file includes the following population items: sex, age, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, household relationship, and household and family characteristics. Housing items include occupancy status and tenure (whether the unit is owner or renter occupied). SF1 does not include information on incomes, poverty status, overcrowded housing or age of housing. These topics will be covered in Summary File 3. Data are available for states, counties, county subdivisions, places, census tracts, block groups, and, where applicable, American Indian and Alaskan Native Areas and Hawaiian Home Lands. The SF1 data are available on the Bureau's web site and may be retrieved from American FactFinder as tables, lists, or maps. Users may also download a set of compressed ASCII files for each state via the Bureau's FTP server. There are over 8000 data items available for each geographic area. The full listing of these data items is available here as a downloadable compressed data base file named TABLES.ZIP. The uncompressed is in FoxPro data base file (dbf) format and may be imported to ACCESS, EXCEL, and other software formats. While all of this information is useful, the Office of Community Planning and Development has downloaded selected information for all states and areas and is making this information available on the CPD web pages. The tables and data items selected are those items used in the CDBG and HOME allocation formulas plus topics most pertinent to the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), the Consolidated Plan, and similar overall economic and community development plans. The information is contained in five compressed (zipped) dbf tables for each state. When uncompressed the tables are ready for use with FoxPro and they can be imported into ACCESS, EXCEL, and other spreadsheet, GIS and database software. The data are at the block group summary level. The first two characters of the file name are the state abbreviation. The next two letters are BG for block group. Each record is labeled with the code and name of the city and county in which it is located so that the data can be summarized to higher-level geography. The last part of the file name describes the contents . The GEO file contains standard Census Bureau geographic identifiers for each block group, such as the metropolitan area code and congressional district code. The only data included in this table is total population and total housing units. POP1 and POP2 contain selected population variables and selected housing items are in the HU file. The MA05 table data is only for use by State CDBG grantees for the reporting of the racial composition of beneficiaries of Area Benefit activities. The complete package for a state consists of the dictionary file named TABLES, and the five data files for the state. The logical record number (LOGRECNO) links the records across tables.

These data were compiled to determine whether transient population dynamics substantially alter population growth rates of sagebrush after disturbance, impede resilience and restoration, and in turn drive ecosystem transformation. Data were collected from 2014-2016 on sagebrush population height distributions at 531 sites across the Great Basin that had burned and were subsequently reseeded by the BLM. These data include field data on sagebrush density in 6 size classes and site attributes (seeding year, sampling year, random site designation, elevation, seeding rate). Also included are modeled spring soil moisture data at each site from the year of seeding to sampling. This data release includes associated software code allows the inference of demographic rates (survival, reproduction, and individual growth) of sagebrush using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo approaches in Stan (https://mc-stan.org/).

Description

The research employed a mixed methods online survey to understand better the meaning, use, and development of academic research software at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Other objectives include understanding academic research software support and training needs to make projects successful at Illinois, as well as investigating the use of generative AI tools in using and creating research software.

At the beginning of the survey, all participants gave informed consent. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Institutional Review Board (IRB Protocol no.: Project IRB24-0989) reviewed the study and gave it an exempt determination.

Data collection took place from August 2024 to October 2024. Prior to data analysis, identifiable respondent details were removed during the data cleaning process. Not Applicable and Unsure style responses were used for descriptive statistics, but these responses were excluded for inferential statistics.

Survey design

At the beginning of the online survey, a consent form was provided based on guidelines from the University of Illinois Institutional Review Board to the respondents stating the aims of the study, its benefits and risks, ethical guidelines, being a voluntary survey for participation and withdrawal, privacy and confidentiality, data security, estimated time for survey completion, and contact information of researchers for asking questions. Respondents clicked to indicate their consent. Survey questions were divided into four parts: demographic information, using software for research, creating software for research, and the protocol of citing software for research. The survey had to stop points, whereby not all questions applied to respondents, which led to different sample sizes at the stop points. At the opening of the survey, the number of respondents was 251 with the funding demographic question being answered by all respondents, while other demographic questions had between 225 and 228 respondents answering them. For the first stop question, using research software in their research, the total respondents was 212, and at the last stop question, respondents considering themselves to be research developers, the total number of respondents was 74. The last question of the survey was answered by 71 respondents. Respondents may also have left the survey for other reasons. The questions were primarily closed-type questions with single choice, multiple choice, or Likert scale, as well as a few open-ended questions. Likert scale responses were created utilizing validated scales from Vagias' (2006) Likert Type Scale Response Anchors.

Sampling

Survey Respondents’ Demographics

While most respondents were Tenure Track Faculty (34.7%, f=227), other key categories included Principal Investigator (22.4%, f=227) and Research Scientist (12.1%, f=227). Computer Science, Information Science, Mathematics, and Engineering fields combined for 16% (f=228) of the respondents surveyed, but it should be noted the remaining respondents were from various academic fields across campus from various arts, humanities, and social science fields (25%, f=228) to agriculture (10%, f=228), education (5%, f=228), economics (3%, f=228), medical sciences (4%, f=228), and politics and policy/law (1%, f=228). Most respondents were likely to receive funding from various government agencies. A more detailed breakdown of the demographic information can be found in the supplemental figures. Of the 74 respondents who answered whether they were a research software developer, most respondents did not consider themselves a research software developer, with respondents stating Not at All (39%, n=74) and Slightly (22%, n=74). In addition, open-ended questions asked for further detail about research software titles used in research, research software developer challenges, how generative AI assisted in creating research software, and how research software is preserved (e.g., reproducibility).
