The data represent web-scraping of hyperlinks from a selection of environmental stewardship organizations that were identified in the 2017 NYC Stewardship Mapping and Assessment Project (STEW-MAP) (USDA 2017). There are two data sets: 1) the original scrape containing all hyperlinks within the websites and associated attribute values (see "README" file); 2) a cleaned and reduced dataset formatted for network analysis. For dataset 1: Organizations were selected from from the 2017 NYC Stewardship Mapping and Assessment Project (STEW-MAP) (USDA 2017), a publicly available, spatial data set about environmental stewardship organizations working in New York City, USA (N = 719). To create a smaller and more manageable sample to analyze, all organizations that intersected (i.e., worked entirely within or overlapped) the NYC borough of Staten Island were selected for a geographically bounded sample. Only organizations with working websites and that the web scraper could access were retained for the study (n = 78). The websites were scraped between 09 and 17 June 2020 to a maximum search depth of ten using the snaWeb package (version 1.0.1, Stockton 2020) in the R computational language environment (R Core Team 2020). For dataset 2: The complete scrape results were cleaned, reduced, and formatted as a standard edge-array (node1, node2, edge attribute) for network analysis. See "READ ME" file for further details.

Project name

Psychophysiological data from Mexican children with learning difficulties who strengthen reading and math skills by assistive technology

Year that the project ran

2023

Brief overview of the tasks in the experiment

The current dataset consists of psychometric and electrophysiological data from children with reading or math learning difficulties. These data were collected to evaluate improvements in reading or math skills resulting from using an online learning method called Smartick.

The psychometric evaluations from children with reading difficulties encompassed: spelling tests, where 1) orthographic and 2) phonological errors were considered, 3) reading speed, expressed in words read per minute, and 4) reading comprehension, where multiple-choice questions were given to the children. The last 2 parameters were determined according to the standards from the Ministry of Public Education (Secretaría de Educación Pública in Spanish) in Mexico. On the other hand, group 2 assessments embraced: 1) an assessment of general mathematical knowledge, as well as 2) the hits percentage, and 3) reaction time from an arithmetical task. Additionally, selective attention and intelligence quotient (IQ) were also evaluated.

Then, individuals underwent an EEG experimental paradigm where two conditions were recorded: 1) a 3-minute eyes-open resting state and 2) performing either reading or mathematical activities. EEG recordings from the reading experiment consisted of reading a text aloud and then answering questions about the text. Alternatively, EEG recordings from the math experiment involved the solution of two blocks with 20 arithmetic operations (addition and subtraction). Subsequently, each child was randomly subcategorized as 1) the experimental group, who were asked to engage with Smartick for three months, and 2) the control group, who were not involved with the intervention. Once the 3-month period was over, every child was reassessed as described before.

Description of the contents of the dataset

The dataset contains a total of 76 subjects (sub-), where two study groups were assessed: 1) reading difficulties (R) and 2) math difficulties (M). Then, each individual was subcategorized as experimental subgroup (e), where children were compromised to engage with Smartick, or control subgroup (c), where they did not get involved with any intervention.

Every subject was followed up on for three months. During this period, each subject underwent two EEG sessions, representing the PRE-intervention (ses-1) and the POST-intervention (ses-2).

The EEG recordings from the reading difficulties group consisted of a resting state condition (run-1) and while performing active reading and reading comprehension activities (run-2). On the other hand, EEG data from the math difficulties group was collected from a resting state condition (run-1) and when solving two blocks of 20 arithmetic operations (run-2 and run-3). All EEG files were stored in .set format. The nomenclature and description from filenames are shown below:

Example: the file sub-Rc11_ses-1_task-SmartickDataset_run-2_eeg.set is related to: - The 11th subject from the reading difficulties group, control subgroup (sub-Rc11). - EEG recording from the PRE-intervention (ses-1) while performing the reading activity (run-2)

Market Basket Analysis

Market basket analysis with Apriori algorithm

The retailer wants to target customers with suggestions on itemset that a customer is most likely to purchase .I was given dataset contains data of a retailer; the transaction data provides data around all the transactions that have happened over a period of time. Retailer will use result to grove in his industry and provide for customer suggestions on itemset, we be able increase customer engagement and improve customer experience and identify customer behavior. I will solve this problem with use Association Rules type of unsupervised learning technique that checks for the dependency of one data item on another data item.

Introduction

Association Rule is most used when you are planning to build association in different objects in a set. It works when you are planning to find frequent patterns in a transaction database. It can tell you what items do customers frequently buy together and it allows retailer to identify relationships between the items.

An Example of Association Rules

Assume there are 100 customers, 10 of them bought Computer Mouth, 9 bought Mat for Mouse and 8 bought both of them. - bought Computer Mouth => bought Mat for Mouse - support = P(Mouth & Mat) = 8/100 = 0.08 - confidence = support/P(Mat for Mouse) = 0.08/0.09 = 0.89 - lift = confidence/P(Computer Mouth) = 0.89/0.10 = 8.9 This just simple example. In practice, a rule needs the support of several hundred transactions, before it can be considered statistically significant, and datasets often contain thousands or millions of transactions.

Strategy

• Data Import
• Data Understanding and Exploration
• Transformation of the data – so that is ready to be consumed by the association rules algorithm
• Running association rules
• Exploring the rules generated
• Filtering the generated rules
• Visualization of Rule

Libraries in R

First, we need to load required libraries. Shortly I describe all libraries.

• arules - Provides the infrastructure for representing, manipulating and analyzing transaction data and patterns (frequent itemsets and association rules).
• arulesViz - Extends package 'arules' with various visualization. techniques for association rules and item-sets. The package also includes several interactive visualizations for rule exploration.
• tidyverse - The tidyverse is an opinionated collection of R packages designed for data science.
• readxl - Read Excel Files in R.
• plyr - Tools for Splitting, Applying and Combining Data.
• ggplot2 - A system for 'declaratively' creating graphics, based on "The Grammar of Graphics". You provide the data, tell 'ggplot2' how to map variables to aesthetics, what graphical primitives to use, and it takes care of the details.
• knitr - Dynamic Report generation in R.
• magrittr- Provides a mechanism for chaining commands with a new forward-pipe operator, %>%. This operator will forward a value, or the result of an expression, into the next function call/expression. There is flexible support for the type of right-hand side expressions.
• dplyr - A fast, consistent tool for working with data frame like objects, both in memory and out of memory.
• tidyverse - This package is designed to make it easy to install and load multiple 'tidyverse' packages in a single step.

Detailed description of the dataset:

1 Film Dataset: Festival Programs

The Film Dataset consists a data scheme image file, a codebook and two dataset tables in csv format.

The codebook (csv file “1_codebook_film-dataset_festival-program”) offers a detailed description of all variables within the Film Dataset. Along with the definition of variables it lists explanations for the units of measurement, data sources, coding and information on missing data.

The csv file “1_film-dataset_festival-program_long” comprises a dataset of all films and the festivals, festival sections, and the year of the festival edition that they were sampled from. The dataset is structured in the long format, i.e. the same film can appear in several rows when it appeared in more than one sample festival. However, films are identifiable via their unique ID.

The csv file “1_film-dataset_festival-program_wide” consists of the dataset listing only unique films (n=9,348). The dataset is in the wide format, i.e. each row corresponds to a unique film, identifiable via its unique ID. For easy analysis, and since the overlap is only six percent, in this dataset the variable sample festival (fest) corresponds to the first sample festival where the film appeared. For instance, if a film was first shown at Berlinale (in February) and then at Frameline (in June of the same year), the sample festival will list “Berlinale”. This file includes information on unique and IMDb IDs, the film title, production year, length, categorization in length, production countries, regional attribution, director names, genre attribution, the festival, festival section and festival edition the film was sampled from, and information whether there is festival run information available through the IMDb data.

2 Survey Dataset

The Survey Dataset consists of a data scheme image file, a codebook and two dataset tables in csv format.

The codebook “2_codebook_survey-dataset” includes coding information for both survey datasets. It lists the definition of the variables or survey questions (corresponding to Samoilova/Loist 2019), units of measurement, data source, variable type, range and coding, and information on missing data.

The csv file “2_survey-dataset_long-festivals_shared-consent” consists of a subset (n=161) of the original survey dataset (n=454), where respondents provided festival run data for films (n=206) and gave consent to share their data for research purposes. This dataset consists of the festival data in a long format, so that each row corresponds to the festival appearance of a film.

The csv file “2_survey-dataset_wide-no-festivals_shared-consent” consists of a subset (n=372) of the original dataset (n=454) of survey responses corresponding to sample films. It includes data only for those films for which respondents provided consent to share their data for research purposes. This dataset is shown in wide format of the survey data, i.e. information for each response corresponding to a film is listed in one row. This includes data on film IDs, film title, survey questions regarding completeness and availability of provided information, information on number of festival screenings, screening fees, budgets, marketing costs, market screenings, and distribution. As the file name suggests, no data on festival screenings is included in the wide format dataset.

3 IMDb & Scripts

The IMDb dataset consists of a data scheme image file, one codebook and eight datasets, all in csv format. It also includes the R scripts that we used for scraping and matching.

The codebook “3_codebook_imdb-dataset” includes information for all IMDb datasets. This includes ID information and their data source, coding and value ranges, and information on missing data.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_aka-titles_long” contains film title data in different languages scraped from IMDb in a long format, i.e. each row corresponds to a title in a given language.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_awards_long” contains film award data in a long format, i.e. each row corresponds to an award of a given film.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_companies_long” contains data on production and distribution companies of films. The dataset is in a long format, so that each row corresponds to a particular company of a particular film.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_crew_long” contains data on names and roles of crew members in a long format, i.e. each row corresponds to each crew member. The file also contains binary gender assigned to directors based on their first names using the GenderizeR application.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_festival-runs_long” contains festival run data scraped from IMDb in a long format, i.e. each row corresponds to the festival appearance of a given film. The dataset does not include each film screening, but the first screening of a film at a festival within a given year. The data includes festival runs up to 2019.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_general-info_wide” contains general information about films such as genre as defined by IMDb, languages in which a film was shown, ratings, and budget. The dataset is in wide format, so that each row corresponds to a unique film.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_release-info_long” contains data about non-festival release (e.g., theatrical, digital, tv, dvd/blueray). The dataset is in a long format, so that each row corresponds to a particular release of a particular film.

The csv file “3_imdb-dataset_websites_long” contains data on available websites (official websites, miscellaneous, photos, video clips). The dataset is in a long format, so that each row corresponds to a website of a particular film.

The dataset includes 8 text files containing the script for webscraping. They were written using the R-3.6.3 version for Windows.

The R script “r_1_unite_data” demonstrates the structure of the dataset, that we use in the following steps to identify, scrape, and match the film data.

The R script “r_2_scrape_matches” reads in the dataset with the film characteristics described in the “r_1_unite_data” and uses various R packages to create a search URL for each film from the core dataset on the IMDb website. The script attempts to match each film from the core dataset to IMDb records by first conducting an advanced search based on the movie title and year, and then potentially using an alternative title and a basic search if no matches are found in the advanced search. The script scrapes the title, release year, directors, running time, genre, and IMDb film URL from the first page of the suggested records from the IMDb website. The script then defines a loop that matches (including matching scores) each film in the core dataset with suggested films on the IMDb search page. Matching was done using data on directors, production year (+/- one year), and title, a fuzzy matching approach with two methods: “cosine” and “osa.” where the cosine similarity is used to match titles with a high degree of similarity, and the OSA algorithm is used to match titles that may have typos or minor variations.

The script “r_3_matching” creates a dataset with the matches for a manual check. Each pair of films (original film from the core dataset and the suggested match from the IMDb website was categorized in the following five categories: a) 100% match: perfect match on title, year, and director; b) likely good match; c) maybe match; d) unlikely match; and e) no match). The script also checks for possible doubles in the dataset and identifies them for a manual check.

The script “r_4_scraping_functions” creates a function for scraping the data from the identified matches (based on the scripts described above and manually checked). These functions are used for scraping the data in the next script.

The script “r_5a_extracting_info_sample” uses the function defined in the “r_4_scraping_functions”, in order to scrape the IMDb data for the identified matches. This script does that for the first 100 films, to check, if everything works. Scraping for the entire dataset took a few hours. Therefore, a test with a subsample of 100 films is advisable.

The script “r_5b_extracting_info_all” extracts the data for the entire dataset of the identified matches.

The script “r_5c_extracting_info_skipped” checks the films with missing data (where data was not scraped) and tried to extract data one more time to make sure that the errors were not caused by disruptions in the internet connection or other technical issues.

The script “r_check_logs” is used for troubleshooting and tracking the progress of all of the R scripts used. It gives information on the amount of missing values and errors.

4 Festival Library Dataset

The Festival Library Dataset consists of a data scheme image file, one codebook and one dataset, all in csv format.

The codebook (csv file “4_codebook_festival-library_dataset”) offers a detailed description of all variables within the Library Dataset. It lists the definition of variables, such as location and festival name, and festival categories,

R script for reading hdf5 files

This dataset contains files reconstructing single-cell data presented in 'Reference transcriptomics of porcine peripheral immune cells created through bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing' by Herrera-Uribe & Wiarda et al. 2021. Samples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from seven pigs and processed for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) in order to provide a reference annotation of porcine immune cell transcriptomics at enhanced, single-cell resolution. Analysis of single-cell data allowed identification of 36 cell clusters that were further classified into 13 cell types, including monocytes, dendritic cells, B cells, antibody-secreting cells, numerous populations of T cells, NK cells, and erythrocytes. Files may be used to reconstruct the data as presented in the manuscript, allowing for individual query by other users. Scripts for original data analysis are available at https://github.com/USDA-FSEPRU/PorcinePBMCs_bulkRNAseq_scRNAseq. Raw data are available at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/PRJEB43826.

Replication guide
=================

Step 0 - prerequisites
----------------------

- Unix-compatible OS (Linux or OS X)
- Python interpreter (2.7 was used; Python 3 compatibility is highly likely)
- R 3.4 or higher (3.4.4 was used, 3.2 is known to be incompatible)

Depending on detalization level (see Step 2 for more details):
- up to 2Tb of disk space (see Step 2 detalization levels)
- at least 16Gb of RAM (64 preferable)
- few hours to few month of processing time

Step 1 - software
----------------

- unpack **ghd-0.1.0.zip**, or clone from gitlab:

   git clone https://gitlab.com/user2589/ghd.git
   git checkout 0.1.0
 
 `cd` into the extracted folder. 
 All commands below assume it as a current directory.
  
- copy `settings.py` into the extracted folder. Edit the file:
  * set `DATASET_PATH` to some newly created folder path
  * add at least one GitHub API token to `SCRAPER_GITHUB_API_TOKENS` 
- install docker. For Ubuntu Linux, the command is 
  `sudo apt-get install docker-compose`
- install libarchive and headers: `sudo apt-get install libarchive-dev`
- (optional) to replicate on NPM, install yajl: `sudo apt-get install yajl-tools`
 Without this dependency, you might get an error on the next step, 
 but it's safe to ignore.
- install Python libraries: `pip install --user -r requirements.txt` . 
- disable all APIs except GitHub (Bitbucket and Gitlab support were
 not yet implemented when this study was in progress): edit
 `scraper/init.py`, comment out everything except GitHub support
 in `PROVIDERS`.

Step 2 - obtaining the dataset
-----------------------------

The ultimate goal of this step is to get output of the Python function 
`common.utils.survival_data()` and save it into a CSV file:

  # copy and paste into a Python console
  from common import utils
  survival_data = utils.survival_data('pypi', '2008', smoothing=6)
  survival_data.to_csv('survival_data.csv')

Since full replication will take several months, here are some ways to speedup
the process:

####Option 2.a, difficulty level: easiest

Just use the precomputed data. Step 1 is not necessary under this scenario.

- extract **dataset_minimal_Jan_2018.zip**
- get `survival_data.csv`, go to the next step

####Option 2.b, difficulty level: easy

Use precomputed longitudinal feature values to build the final table.
The whole process will take 15..30 minutes.

- create a folder `

Intro

This dataverse contains the data referenced in Rieth et al. (2017). Issues and Advances in Anomaly Detection Evaluation for Joint Human-Automated Systems. To be presented at Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics 2017.

Content

Each .RData file is an external representation of an R dataframe that can be read into an R environment with the 'load' function. The variables loaded are named ‘fault_free_training’, ‘fault_free_testing’, ‘faulty_testing’, and ‘faulty_training’, corresponding to the RData files.

Each dataframe contains 55 columns:

Column 1 ('faultNumber') ranges from 1 to 20 in the “Faulty” datasets and represents the fault type in the TEP. The “FaultFree” datasets only contain fault 0 (i.e. normal operating conditions).

Column 2 ('simulationRun') ranges from 1 to 500 and represents a different random number generator state from which a full TEP dataset was generated (Note: the actual seeds used to generate training and testing datasets were non-overlapping).

Column 3 ('sample') ranges either from 1 to 500 (“Training” datasets) or 1 to 960 (“Testing” datasets). The TEP variables (columns 4 to 55) were sampled every 3 minutes for a total duration of 25 hours and 48 hours respectively. Note that the faults were introduced 1 and 8 hours into the Faulty Training and Faulty Testing datasets, respectively.

Columns 4 to 55 contain the process variables; the column names retain the original variable names.

Dataset

This dataset was created by SuperAI_2021

Contents

If using this dataset, please cite the following paper above and the current Zenodo repository:A. Mundanad Narayanan, R. Zink, and A. Bertrand, "EEG miniaturization limits for stimulus decoding with EEG sensor networks", Journal of Neural Engineering, vol. 18, 2021, doi: 10.1088/1741-2552/ac2629

Experiment*************

This dataset contains 255-channel electroencephalography (EEG) data collected during an auditory attention decoding experiment (AAD). The EEG was recorded using a SynAmps RT device (Compumedics, Australia) at a sampling rate of 1 kHz and using active Ag/Cl electrodes. The electrodes were placed on the head according to the international 10-5 (5%) system. 30 normal hearing male subjects between 22 and 35 years old participated in the experiment. All of them signed an informed consent form approved by the KU Leuven ethical committee.

Two Dutch stories narrated by different male speakers divided into two parts of 6 minutes each were used as the stimuli in the experiment [1]. A single trial of the experiment involved the presentation of these two parts (one of both stories) to the subject through insert phones (Etymotic ER3A) at 60dBA. These speech stimuli were filtered using a head-related transfer function (HRTF) such that the stories seemed to arrive from two distinct spatial locations, namely left and right with respect to the subject with 180 degrees separation. In each trial, the subjects were asked to attend to only one ear while ignoring the other. Four trials of 6 minutes each were carried out, in which each story part is used twice. The order of presentations was randomized and balanced over different subjects. Thus approximately 24 minutes of EEG data was recorded per subject.

File organization and details********************************

The EEG data of each of the 30 subjects are uploaded as a ZIP file with the name Sx.tar.gzip here x=0,1,2,..,29. When a zip file is extracted, the EEG data are in their original raw format as recorded by the CURRY software [2]. The data files of each recording consist of four files with the same name but different extensions, namely, .dat, ,dap, .rs3 and .ceo. The name of each file follows the following convention: Sx_AAD_P. With P taking one of the following values for each file:1. 1L2. 1R3. 2L4. 2R

The letter 'L' or 'R' in P indicates the attended direction of each subject in a recording: left and right respectively. A MATLAB function to read the software is provided in the directory called scripts. A python function to read the file is available in this Github repository [3].The original version of stimuli presented to subjects, i.e. without the HRTF filtering, can be found after extracting the stimuli.zip file in WAV format. There are 4 WAV files corresponding to the two parts of each of the two stories. These files have been sampled at 44.1 kHz. The order of presentation of these WAV files is given in the table below: Stimuli presentation and attention information of files

Trial (P) Stimuli: Left-ear Stimuli: Right-ear Attention

1L part1_track1_dry part1_track2_dry Left

This dataset includes all the data and R code needed to reproduce the analyses in a forthcoming manuscript:Copes, W. E., Q. D. Read, and B. J. Smith. Environmental influences on drying rate of spray applied disinfestants from horticultural production services. PhytoFrontiers, DOI pending.Study description: Instructions for disinfestants typically specify a dose and a contact time to kill plant pathogens on production surfaces. A problem occurs when disinfestants are applied to large production areas where the evaporation rate is affected by weather conditions. The common contact time recommendation of 10 min may not be achieved under hot, sunny conditions that promote fast drying. This study is an investigation into how the evaporation rates of six commercial disinfestants vary when applied to six types of substrate materials under cool to hot and cloudy to sunny weather conditions. Initially, disinfestants with low surface tension spread out to provide 100% coverage and disinfestants with high surface tension beaded up to provide about 60% coverage when applied to hard smooth surfaces. Disinfestants applied to porous materials were quickly absorbed into the body of the material, such as wood and concrete. Even though disinfestants evaporated faster under hot sunny conditions than under cool cloudy conditions, coverage was reduced considerably in the first 2.5 min under most weather conditions and reduced to less than or equal to 50% coverage by 5 min. Dataset contents: This dataset includes R code to import the data and fit Bayesian statistical models using the model fitting software CmdStan, interfaced with R using the packages brms and cmdstanr. The models (one for 2022 and one for 2023) compare how quickly different spray-applied disinfestants dry, depending on what chemical was sprayed, what surface material it was sprayed onto, and what the weather conditions were at the time. Next, the statistical models are used to generate predictions and compare mean drying rates between the disinfestants, surface materials, and weather conditions. Finally, tables and figures are created. These files are included:Drying2022.csv: drying rate data for the 2022 experimental runWeather2022.csv: weather data for the 2022 experimental runDrying2023.csv: drying rate data for the 2023 experimental runWeather2023.csv: weather data for the 2023 experimental rundisinfestant_drying_analysis.Rmd: RMarkdown notebook with all data processing, analysis, and table creation codedisinfestant_drying_analysis.html: rendered output of notebookMS_figures.R: additional R code to create figures formatted for journal requirementsfit2022_discretetime_weather_solar.rds: fitted brms model object for 2022.

2. Sources Created by: Sérgio Moro (ISCTE-IUL), Paulo Cortez (Univ. Minho) and Paulo Rita (ISCTE-IUL) @ 2014

3. Past Usage:

   The full dataset (bank-additional-full.csv) was described and analyzed in:

   S. Moro, P. Cortez and P. Rita. A Data-Driven Approach to Predict the Success of Bank Telemarketing. Decision Support Systems (2014), doi:10.1016/j.dss.2014.03.001.

4. Relevant Information:

   This dataset is based on "Bank Marketing" UCI dataset (please check the description at: http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Bank+Marketing). The data is enriched by the addition of five new social and economic features/attributes (national wide indicators from a ~10M population country), published by the Banco de Portugal and publicly available at: https://www.bportugal.pt/estatisticasweb. This dataset is almost identical to the one used in Moro et al., 2014. Using the rminer package and R tool (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rminer/), we found that the addition of the five new social and economic attributes (made available here) lead to substantial improvement in the prediction of a success, even when the duration of the call is not included. Note: the file can be read in R using: d=read.table("bank-additional-full.csv",header=TRUE,sep=";")

The binary classification goal is to predict if the client will subscribe a bank term deposit (variable y).

We present a flora and fauna dataset for the Mira-Mataje binational basins. This is an area shared between southwestern Colombia and northwestern Ecuador, where both the Chocó and Tropical Andes biodiversity hotspots converge. Information from 120 sources was systematized in the Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) standard and geospatial vector data format for geographic information systems (GIS) (shapefiles). Sources included natural history museums, published literature, and citizen science repositories across 18 countries. The resulting database has 33,460 records from 5,281 species, of which 1,083 are endemic and 680 threatened. The diversity represented in the dataset is equivalent to 10\% of the total plant species and 26\% of the total terrestrial vertebrate species in the hotspots. It corresponds to 0.07\% of their total area. The dataset can be used to estimate and compare biodiversity patterns with environmental parameters and provide value to ecosystems, ecoregions, and protected areas. The dataset is a baseline for future assessments of biodiversity in the face of environmental degradation, climate change, and accelerated extinction processes. The data has been formally presented in the manuscript entitled "The Tropical Andes Biodiversity Hotspot: A Comprehensive Dataset for the Mira-Mataje Binational Basins" in the journal "Scientific Data". To maintain DOI integrity, this version will not change after publication of the manuscript and therefore we cannot provide further references on volume, issue, and DOI of manuscript publication. - Data format 1: The .rds file extension saves a single object to be read in R and provides better compression, serialization, and integration within the R environment, than simple .csv files.

Overview

This dataset is the repository for the following paper submitted to Data in Brief:

Kempf, M. A dataset to model Levantine landcover and land-use change connected to climate change, the Arab Spring and COVID-19. Data in Brief (submitted: December 2023).

The Data in Brief article contains the supplement information and is the related data paper to:

Kempf, M. Climate change, the Arab Spring, and COVID-19 - Impacts on landcover transformations in the Levant. Journal of Arid Environments (revision submitted: December 2023).

Description/abstract

The Levant region is highly vulnerable to climate change, experiencing prolonged heat waves that have led to societal crises and population displacement. Since 2010, the area has been marked by socio-political turmoil, including the Syrian civil war and currently the escalation of the so-called Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, which strained neighbouring countries like Jordan due to the influx of Syrian refugees and increases population vulnerability to governmental decision-making. Jordan, in particular, has seen rapid population growth and significant changes in land-use and infrastructure, leading to over-exploitation of the landscape through irrigation and construction. This dataset uses climate data, satellite imagery, and land cover information to illustrate the substantial increase in construction activity and highlights the intricate relationship between climate change predictions and current socio-political developments in the Levant.

“population” contains two files with the same name but different format. The .csv file is for processing and plotting in R. The .ods file is for enhanced visualization of population dynamics in the Levant (Socio_cultural_political_development_database_FAO2023.ods).

“GLDAS” stores the raw data of the NASA Global Land Data Assimilation System datasets that can be read, extracted (variable name), and processed using code “8_GLDAS_read_extract_trend” from the respective folder. One folder contains data from 1975-2022 and a second the additional January and February 2023 data.

“built_up” contains the landcover and built-up change data from 1975 to 2022. This folder is subdivided into two subfolder which contain the raw data and the already processed data. “raw_data” contains the unprocessed datasets and “derived_data” stores the cropped built_up datasets at 5 year intervals, e.g., “Levant_built_up_1975.tif”.

Code structure

1_MODIS_NDVI_hdf_file_extraction.R

This is the first code chunk that refers to the extraction of MODIS data from .hdf file format. The following packages must be installed and the raw data must be downloaded using a simple mass downloader, e.g., from google chrome. Packages: terra. Download MODIS data from after registration from: https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/mod13q1v061/ or https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search (MODIS/Terra Vegetation Indices 16-Day L3 Global 250m SIN Grid V061, last accessed, 09th of October 2023). The code reads a list of files, extracts the NDVI, and saves each file to a single .tif-file with the indication “NDVI”. Because the study area is quite large, we have to load three different (spatially) time series and merge them later. Note that the time series are temporally consistent.

2_MERGE_MODIS_tiles.R

In this code, we load and merge the three different stacks to produce large and consistent time series of NDVI imagery across the study area. We further use the package gtools to load the files in (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.). Here, we have three stacks from which we merge the first two (stack 1, stack 2) and store them. We then merge this stack with stack 3. We produce single files named NDVI_final_*consecutivenumber*.tif. Before saving the final output of single merged files, create a folder called “merged” and set the working directory to this folder, e.g., setwd("your directory_MODIS/merged").

3_CROP_MODIS_merged_tiles.R

Now we want to crop the derived MODIS tiles to our study area. We are using a mask, which is provided as .shp file in the repository, named "MERGED_LEVANT.shp". We load the merged .tif files and crop the stack with the vector. Saving to individual files, we name them “NDVI_merged_clip_*consecutivenumber*.tif. We now produced single cropped NDVI time series data from MODIS.
The repository provides the already clipped and merged NDVI datasets.

4_TREND_analysis_NDVI.R

Now, we want to perform trend analysis from the derived data. The data we load is tricky as it contains 16-days return period across a year for the period of 22 years. Growing season sums contain MAM (March-May), JJA (June-August), and SON (September-November). December is represented as a single file, which means that the period DJF (December-February) is represented by 5 images instead of 6. For the last DJF period (December 2022), the data from January and February 2023 can be added. The code selects the respective images from the stack, depending on which period is under consideration. From these stacks, individual annually resolved growing season sums are generated and the slope is calculated. We can then extract the p-values of the trend and characterize all values with high confidence level (0.05). Using the ggplot2 package and the melt function from reshape2 package, we can create a plot of the reclassified NDVI trends together with a local smoother (LOESS) of value 0.3.
To increase comparability and understand the amplitude of the trends, z-scores were calculated and plotted, which show the deviation of the values from the mean. This has been done for the NDVI values as well as the GLDAS climate variables as a normalization technique.

5_BUILT_UP_change_raster.R

Let us look at the landcover changes now. We are working with the terra package and get raster data from here: https://ghsl.jrc.ec.europa.eu/download.php?ds=bu (last accessed 03. March 2023, 100 m resolution, global coverage). Here, one can download the temporal coverage that is aimed for and reclassify it using the code after cropping to the individual study area. Here, I summed up different raster to characterize the built-up change in continuous values between 1975 and 2022.

6_POPULATION_numbers_plot.R

For this plot, one needs to load the .csv-file “Socio_cultural_political_development_database_FAO2023.csv” from the repository. The ggplot script provided produces the desired plot with all countries under consideration.

7_YIELD_plot.R

In this section, we are using the country productivity from the supplement in the repository “yield_productivity” (e.g., "Jordan_yield.csv". Each of the single country yield datasets is plotted in a ggplot and combined using the patchwork package in R.

8_GLDAS_read_extract_trend

The last code provides the basis for the trend analysis of the climate variables used in the paper. The raw data can be accessed https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/datasets?keywords=GLDAS%20Noah%20Land%20Surface%20Model%20L4%20monthly&page=1 (last accessed 9th of October 2023). The raw data comes in .nc file format and various variables can be extracted using the [“^a variable name”] command from the spatraster collection. Each time you run the code, this variable name must be adjusted to meet the requirements for the variables (see this link for abbreviations: https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/datasets/GLDAS_CLSM025_D_2.0/summary, last accessed 09th of October 2023; or the respective code chunk when reading a .nc file with the ncdf4 package in R) or run print(nc) from the code or use names(the spatraster collection).
Choosing one variable, the code uses the MERGED_LEVANT.shp mask from the repository to crop and mask the data to the outline of the study area.
From the processed data, trend analysis are conducted and z-scores were calculated following the code described above. However, annual trends require the frequency of the time series analysis to be set to value = 12. Regarding, e.g., rainfall, which is measured as annual sums and not means, the chunk r.sum=r.sum/12 has to be removed or set to r.sum=r.sum/1 to avoid calculating annual mean values (see other variables). Seasonal subset can be calculated as described in the code. Here, 3-month subsets were chosen for growing seasons, e.g. March-May (MAM), June-July (JJA), September-November (SON), and DJF (December-February, including Jan/Feb of the consecutive year).
From the data, mean values of 48 consecutive years are calculated and trend analysis are performed as describe above. In the same way, p-values are extracted and 95 % confidence level values are marked with dots on the raster plot. This analysis can be performed with a much longer time series, other variables, ad different spatial extent across the globe due to the availability of the GLDAS variables.

Analyses outputs from various bioinformatics analysis tools for the description of core genome metrics and secondary metabolite annotations for the draft genome from Streptomyces griseoincarnatus strain R-35.The marine isolate, Streptomyces griseoincarnatus strain R-35, was isolated from marine sediments collected from the Glencairn Tidal Pool, Table Mountain National Park, Cape Town, South Africa. The genomic DNA was sequenced using the Ion Torrent GeneStudio™ S5 platform, and the de novo assembly was performed using the SPAdes assembler on the Centre for High Performance Computing (CHPC) Lengau Cluster located at the CSIR, Rosebank, South Africa. The draft genome assembly consisted of 722 contigs totaling 7,625,174 base pairs and a G+C% content of 72.2 mol%. Genome completeness and genome contamination were determined as 99.12% and 0.92%, respectively. Genome annotations performed using the Rapid Annotation with Subsystem Technology (RAST) and the Bacterial and Viral Bioinformatics Resource Centre (BV-BRC) determined the presence of 7996 coding sequences (CDS), 63 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and six ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs). A total of 2570 hypothetical proteins were assigned, and 5246 proteins were assigned to function. The phylogenomic positioning of S. griseoincarnatus strain R-35 was determined using the Type Strain Genome Server (TYGS) and was found to be related to S. griseoincarnatus JCM 4381T, with a digital DNA-DNA hybridisation (dDDH) value of 84.1%, and an OrthoANIu value of 98.22%. The CARD RGI algorithm on Proksee predicted the presence of 6,107 antimicrobial resistance (AMR) features, 27 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) were predicted using antiSMASH, while 189 carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) were predicted using dbCAN3. The raw genome sequencing data has been submitted to the National Center for Biotechnology (NCBI) under the BioProject ID PRJNA1129156 (BioSample ID Accession Number: SAMN42145163; Short Read Archive (SRA) Accession: SRR29633055; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJNA1129156).
