Measuring the usage of informatics resources such as software tools and databases is essential to quantifying their impact, value and return on investment. We have developed a publicly available dataset of informatics resource publications and their citation network, along with an associated metric (u-Index) to measure informatics resources’ impact over time. Our dataset differentiates the context in which citations occur to distinguish between ‘awareness’ and ‘usage’, and uses a citing universe of open access publications to derive citation counts for quantifying impact. Resources with a high ratio of usage citations to awareness citations are likely to be widely used by others and have a high u-Index score. We have pre-calculated the u-Index for nearly 100,000 informatics resources. We demonstrate how the u-Index can be used to track informatics resource impact over time. The method of calculating the u-Index metric, the pre-computed u-Index values, and the dataset we compiled to calculate the u-Index are publicly available.

The Program Access Index (PAI) is one of the measures the USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) uses to reward States for high performance in the administration of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (also known as the 2002 Farm Bill) directed USDA to establish a number of indicators of effective program performance and to award bonus payments to States with the best and most improved performance. The PAI is designed to indicate the degree to which low-income people have access to SNAP benefits.

Description

Dataset consists of data in categories walking, running, biking, skiing, and roller skiing (5). Sport activities have been recorded by an individual active (non-competitive) athlete. Data is pre-processed, standardized and splitted in four parts (each dimension in its own file): * HR-DATA_std_1140x69 (heart rate signals) * SPD-DATA_std_1140x69 (speed signals) * ALT-DATA_std_1140x69 (altitude signals) * META-DATA_1140x4 (labels and details)

NOTE: Signal order between the separate files must not be confused when processing the data. Signal order is critical; first index in each of the file comes from the same activity which label corresponds to first index in the target data file, and so on. So, data should be constructed and files combined into the same table while reading the files, ideally using nested data structure. Something like in the picture below:

In the following picture one can see five signal samples for each dimension (Heart Rate, Speed, Altitude) in standard feature value format. So, each figure contains signal from five different random activities (can be same or different category). However, for example, signal indexes number 1 in each three figure are from the same activity. Figures just visualizes what kind of signals dataset consists. They do not have any particular meaning.

Dataset size and construction procedure

The original amount of sport activities is 228. From each of them, starting from the index 100 (seconds), have been picked 5 x 69 second consecutive segments, that is expressed as a formula below:

Thus, dataset has dimesions of 1140 x 69 x 3.

Additional information

Data has been recorded without knowing it will be used in research, therefore it represents well real-world application of data source and can provide excellent tool to test algorithms in real data.

Recording devices

Data has been recorded using two type of Garmin devices. Models are Forerunner 920XT and vivosport. Vivosport is activity tracker and measures heart rate from the wrist using optical sensor, whereas 920XT requires external sensor belt (hear rate + inertial) installed under chest when doing exercises. Otherwise devices are not essentially different, they uses GPS location to measure speed and inertial barometer to measure elevation changes.

This dataset presents the numerical fragility indicators calculated from the formulas developed by the Mednum. All the variables taken into account to calculate the scores are present in this dataset. Calculations are done via python’s Jupyter Notebook.

The endpoints selected for evaluation of the HIINT formula were percent relative liver weight of mice (PcLiv) and the logarithm of ALT [Log(ALT)], where the log transformation was used to help stabilize the increases in variance with dose found in the ALT dataset.

This data has been superseded by a newer version of the dataset. Please refer to NOAA's Climate Divisional Database for more information. The U.S. Climate Divisional Dataset provides data access to current U.S. temperature, precipitation and drought indeces. Divisional indices included are: Precipitation Index, Palmer Drought Severity Index, Palmer Hydrological Drought Index, Modified Palmer Drought Severity Index, Temperature, Palmer Z Index, Cooling Degree Days, Heating Degree Days, 1-Month Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), 2-Month (SPI), 3-Month (SPI), 6-Month (SPI),12-Month (SPI) and the 24-Month (SPI). All of these Indices, except for the SPI, are available for Regional, State and National views as well. There are 344 climate divisions in the CONUS. For each climate division, monthly station temperature and precipitation values are computed from the daily observations. The divisional values are weighted by area to compute statewide values and the statewide values are weighted by area to compute regional values. The indices were computed using daily station data from 1895 to present.

Leaf Area Index (LAI) is a fundamental vegetation structural variable that drives energy and mass exchanges between the plant and the atmosphere. Moderate-resolution (300m – 7km) global LAI data products have been widely applied to track global vegetation changes, drive Earth system models, monitor crop growth and productivity, etc. Yet, cutting-edge applications in climate adaptation, hydrology, and sustainable agriculture require LAI information at higher spatial resolution (< 100m) to model and understand heterogeneous landscapes. This dataset was built to assist a machine-learning-based approach for mapping LAI from 30m-resolution Landsat images across the contiguous US (CONUS). The data was derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Version 6 LAI/FPAR, Landsat Collection 1 surface reflectance, and NLCD Land Cover datasets over 2006 – 2018 using Google Earth Engine. Each record/sample/row includes a MODIS LAI value, corresponding Landsat surface reflectance in green, red, NIR, SWIR1 bands, a land cover (biome) type, geographic location, and other auxiliary information. Each sample represents a MODIS LAI pixel (500m) within which a single biome type dominates 90% of the area. The spatial homogeneity of the samples was further controlled by a screening process based on the coefficient of variation of the Landsat surface reflectance. In total, there are approximately 1.6 million samples, stratified by biome, Landsat sensor, and saturation status from the MODIS LAI algorithm. This dataset can be used to train machine learning models and generate LAI maps for Landsat 5, 7, 8 surface reflectance images within CONUS. Detailed information on the sample generation and quality control can be found in the related journal article. Resources in this dataset:Resource Title: README.

This dataset includes soil wet aggregate stability measurements from the Upper Mississippi River Basin LTAR site in Ames, Iowa. Samples were collected in 2021 from this long-term tillage and cover crop trial in a corn-based agroecosystem. We measured wet aggregate stability using digital photography to quantify disintegration (slaking) of submerged aggregates over time, similar to the technique described by Fajardo et al. (2016) and Rieke et al. (2021). However, we adapted the technique to larger sample numbers by using a multi-well tray to submerge 20-36 aggregates simultaneously. We used this approach to measure slaking index of 160 soil samples (2120 aggregates). This dataset includes slaking index calculated for each aggregates, and also summarized by samples. There were usually 10-12 aggregates measured per sample. We focused primarily on methodological issues, assessing the statistical power of slaking index, needed replication, sensitivity to cultural practices, and sensitivity to sample collection date. We found that small numbers of highly unstable aggregates lead to skewed distributions for slaking index. We concluded at least 20 aggregates per sample were preferred to provide confidence in measurement precision. However, the experiment had high statistical power with only 10-12 replicates per sample. Slaking index was not sensitive to the initial size of dry aggregates (3 to 10 mm diameter); therefore, pre-sieving soils was not necessary. The field trial showed greater aggregate stability under no-till than chisel plow practice, and changing stability over a growing season. These results will be useful to researchers and agricultural practitioners who want a simple, fast, low-cost method for measuring wet aggregate stability on many samples.

Comprehensive index is an important index to measure the depth and breadth of regional land use. In 2020, the Yellow River basin 1km network land use degree data set is based on the 2020 annual change survey 30 meters land use grid data, land use is divided into unused land level, forest water level, agricultural land level and urban settlement with level 4, comprehensive calculation of regional land use by human intervention, quantitative reflect the strength of land use in the research area. This data set can be used for the research of territorial spatial planning, regional development and development evaluation, main functional area evaluation, and coupling analysis of human-land relationship in the Yellow River Basin.

An Environmental Quality Index (EQI) for all counties in the United States for the time period 2000-2005 was developed which incorporated data from five environmental domains: air, water, land, built, and socio-demographic. The EQI was developed in four parts: domain identification; data source identification and review; variable construction; and data reduction using principal components analysis (PCA). The methods applied provide a reproducible approach that capitalizes almost exclusively on publically-available data sources. The primary goal in creating the EQI is to use it as a composite environmental indicator for research on human health. A series of peer reviewed manuscripts utilized the EQI in examining health outcomes. This dataset is not publicly accessible because: This series of papers are considered Human health research - not to be loaded onto ScienceHub. It can be accessed through the following means: The EQI data can be accessed at: https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/NHEERL/EQI.

Systemic immune inflammation index, systemic inflammatory response index and pan-immune inflammation value in predicting nausea and vomiting in pregnancy and the need for hospitalization Abstract Objective To investigate the role of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) and pan-immune inflammation value (PIV) in predicting nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP). Study Design Women diagnosed and treated for NVP at a large tertiary hospital between 2016 and 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. After applying the inclusion criteria, a total of 278 eligible patients with NVP and 278 gestational age-matched healthy pregnant women were included. Patients with NVP were divided into mild (n=58), moderate (n=140) and severe NVP (n=80). Patients with moderate and/or severe NVP who were at high risk for hospitalization were pooled and assigned to an inpatient treatment group. The data from the first trimester of the groups were then compared. Results SII and PIV were significantly higher in the NVP group than in the control group, while SII, SIRI and PIV were significantly higher in the inpatient treatment group than in the mild NVP group. The comparison of overall performance in predicting the development of NVP showed that SII was better than PIV (p1207x103/µL (47.48% sensitivity, 82.01% specificity) had the highest discriminatory power for predicting NVP. Conclusion Our results suggest an association between high SII and PIV and an increased risk of future NVP. These markers can be used as a first-trimester screening test to improve treatment planning of pregnancies at high risk of HG.

SCHOOL PROFICIENCY INDEXSummaryThe school proficiency index uses school-level data on the performance of 4th grade students on state exams to describe which neighborhoods have high-performing elementary schools nearby and which are near lower performing elementary schools. The school proficiency index is a function of the percent of 4th grade students proficient in reading (r) and math (m) on state test scores for up to three schools (i=1,2,3) within 1.5 miles of the block-group centroid. S denotes 4th grade school enrollment:Elementary schools are linked with block-groups based on a geographic mapping of attendance area zones from School Attendance Boundary Information System (SABINS), where available, or within-district proximity matches of up to the three-closest schools within 1.5 miles. In cases with multiple school matches, an enrollment-weighted score is calculated following the equation above. Please note that in this version of the data (AFFHT0004), there is no school proficiency data for jurisdictions in Kansas, West Virginia, and Puerto Rico because no data was reported for jurisdictions in these states in the Great Schools 2013-14 dataset. InterpretationValues are percentile ranked and range from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the higher the school system quality is in a neighborhood. Data Source: Great Schools (proficiency data, 2015-16); Common Core of Data (4th grade school addresses and enrollment, 2015-16); Maponics (attendance boundaries, 2016).Related AFFH-T Local Government, PHA and State Tables/Maps: Table 12; Map 7.

The Global Aridity Index (Global-AI) and Global Reference Evapo-Transpiration (Global-ET0) datasets provided in Version 3 of the Global Aridity Index and Potential Evapo-Transpiration (ET0) Database (Global-AI_PET_v3) provide high-resolution (30 arc-seconds) global raster data for the 1970-2000 period, related to evapotranspiration processes and rainfall deficit for potential vegetative growth, based upon implementation of the FAO-56 Penman-Monteith Reference Evapotranspiration (ET0) equation.

Aridity Index represent the ratio between precipitation and ET0, thus rainfall over vegetation water demand (aggregated on annual basis). Under this formulation, Aridity Index values increase for more humid conditions, and decrease with more arid conditions. The Aridity Index values reported within the Global-AI geodataset have been multiplied by a factor of 10,000 to derive and distribute the data as integers (with 4 decimal accuracy). This multiplier has been used to increase the precision of the variable values without using decimals. The Readme File is provided with a detailed description of the dataset files, and the following article for a description of the methodology and a technical validation.The Global-AI_PET_v3 datasets are provided for non-commercial use in standard GeoTiff format, at 30 arc seconds or ~ 1km at the equator.

Topographic Position Index (TPI) is a topographic position classification identifying upper, middle and lower parts of the landscape. This dataset includes a mask that identifies where topographic position cannot be reliably derived in low relief areas.

The TPI product was derived from Smoothed Digital Elevation Model (DEM-S; ANZCW0703014016), which was derived from the 1 arc-second resolution SRTM data acquired by NASA in February 2000. A masked version of the TPI product was derived using the slope relief classification product.

The TPI data are available at 1 arc-second and 3 arc-second resolution.

The 3 arc-second resolution dataset was generated from the 1 arc-second TPI product and masked by the 3” water and ocean mask datasets.

Lineage: Source data 1. 1 arc-second SRTM-derived Smoothed Digital Elevation Model (DEM-S; ANZCW0703014016). 2. 1 arc-second slope relief product 3. 3 arc-second resolution SRTM water body and ocean mask datasets.

Topographic position index calculation TPI is a measure of topographic position, classified into three classes corresponding to upper slopes, mid-slopes and lower slopes. The method follows that of the "Drainage Channels Class" section of Warner, Cress and Sayre (2008) which is based on the TPI method of Jenness (2006) and Weiss (2001).

The TPI classification uses relative elevation as a fraction of local relief; where the relative elevation is high compared to the local relief the class is upper slope, and where the relative elevation is low compared to local relief the class is lower slope. Intermediate values are classified as mid-slopes.

Relative elevation is the difference between local (cell) elevation and the mean elevation over a 300 m radius circle (approximately: the calculation actually uses 10 grid cells at 1 arc-second resolution). Local relief is calculated as the standard deviation of elevation over the same circular region. The classification is:

TPI = 1 if relative_elevation < -0.5 * local relief (lower slopes) 3 if relative_elevation > 0.5 * local relief (upper slopes) 2 otherwise (mid slopes)

In relatively flat areas the finite accuracy of a DEM limits its ability to discriminate topographic position. The mask included with the TPI layer identifies areas that are too flat to reliably identify upper, middle and lower landscape positions. It is based on the 'Slope-Relief' classification and the TPI mask has values of 1 where there is sufficient relief for TPI to be meaningful and 0 where TPI should not be used.

The TPI calculation was performed on 1° x 1° tiles, with overlaps to ensure correct values at tile edges.

The 3” arc-resolution version was generated from the 1” TPI class and mask products. This was done by aggregating the 1” data over a 3 x 3 grid cell window and taking the mean of the nine values that contributed to each 3” output grid cell. The result was then converted to integer format, avoiding truncation errors and ensuring that (for example) values between 1.5 and 2 were assigned to class 2, and values between 2.5 and 3 were assigned to class 3. The 3” TPI and TPI mask data were then masked using the SRTM 3” ocean and water body datasets.
