Abstract ======== The Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) consists of two cameras, a Wide Angle Camera (WAC) and a Narrow Angle Camera (NAC), mounted on a common pivot platform. This dataset includes the Calibrated Data Record (CDR) version of valid images than can be turned into physical units, that were acquired during the cruise phase to Mercury, and includes post- launch checkout images, flyby images of Earth, Venus, Mercury, images acquired from Mercury orbit, and inflight calibration images. This CDR dataset is the product of conversion of raw data (Experiment Data Records, or EDRs) to one of three options: physical units of radiance; or radiance factor or I/F, with or without an empirical correction for time variable instrument responsivity. In addition to the imagery, anciliary information (including calibration files used to calibrate the data) is included.

As of August 2020, U.S. social platform users spent the most time on Facebook and Facebook Messenger, with an average of 15 and a half hours a month spent on the two Facebook services combined. There was a slight decrease in the average monthly time spent with Facebook, although the app itself still ranked second, with nearly ten hours monthly.

Analysis of the preferred Invitation/Recruitment method (N = 83).

The messaging platform market is segmented by application into Business Communication, Customer Engagement, and Personal Communication. The business communication segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The increasing adoption of messaging platforms for internal communication, project management, and collaboration in the workplace is driving the growth of this segment. The customer engagement segment is also expected to witness significant growth due to the rising need for personalized and real-time customer communication. The personal communication segment includes messaging applications used by individuals for social interaction and messaging. The growing popularity of social media and messaging applications is driving the growth of this segment.

General information

The dataset contains de-identified messaging meta-data from 78 WhatsApp and 7 Facebook data donations. The dataset was collected in an online study using the data donation platform Dona. After donating their messaging data, the study participants viewed visual summaries of their messaging data and evaluated this visual feedback. The responses to the evaluation questions and the sociodemographic data of the participants are also included in the dataset.

The data was collected from August 2022 to June 2024.

Overview of all DCE choices.

In 2024, TikTok was the social media app on which users spent the most time per month in Canada. Overall, a monthly average of ** hours and ** minutes were spent on the short-form video app per user. Furthermore, over ** hours per month were spent on YouTube. Meta-owned Instagram and Facebook Messenger also saw high rates of monthly user engagement, with ** hours and * minutes, and * hours and ** minutes, respectively.

Heliocentric trajectories for MESSENGER in Heliographic, HG, Heliographic Inertial, HGI, and Solar Ecliptic, SE, Coordinates The original trajectory data are taken from http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi where users can find many more objects. In the case of orbit data for planets, the orbit data can be used as a proxy for spacecraft ephemeris that are in orbit about the planets. On a heliospheric scale, differences between the planet orbital tarjectory and that of the spacecraft are very small. For instance, the heliocentric longitudes differ by only 0.25° for a spacecraft stationed near the L1 Lagrange point at approximately 100 Earth radii upstream of the Earth. The production of the HG, HGI, and SE trajectory data requires a values for the "Equinox Epoch", which is defined as the epoch time when the direction from the Earth to the sun at the time of the vernal equinox when the sun seems to cross equatorial plane of the Earth from below. This direction is called the First Point of Aries, FPA and it is not a fixed direction but drifts by about 1.4° per century or 50.26" per year. In addition, there are tiny irregularities in FPA drift that are on the order of 1" per year or less. The Equinox Epoch can be determined by using a variety of methods for calculating the instantaneous FPA longitudinal direction and whether the tiny irregularities have been smoothed or averaged out. Four methods for determining the Equinox Epoch are in common usage: +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ Method Name FPA Longitude Definition --------------------------------------------------------------------- B1950.0 the actual FPA at 22:09 UT on December 31, 1949 J2000.0 the smoothed FPA at 12:00 UT on January 1, 2000 True of Date the actual FPA at 00:00 UT on the date of interest Mean of Date the smoothed FPA at 00:00 UT on the date of interest +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ The heliocentric trajectory data included in this data product have been calculated by using the Equinox Epoch: defined via the "Mean of Date" method. More precise coordinates, and some planet-centered coordinates, are found in the "traj" subdirectories of spacecraft specific directories at https://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/ and http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi.

WhatsApp emerged as the most used social media app in India, with users spending an average of ** hours per month on the instant messaging platform in 2021. Facebook followed ******* with users spending just under ** hours on average on it per month.
