Survey on the implementation of digital technology architecture in teacher training

This file contains the results of a detailed survey exploring the implementation of digital technology architecture in teacher education. The survey was designed to assess how educational institutions are integrating advanced digital tools into their professional development programmes and the impact this has on teaching and learning. The data collected provides valuable insight into the effectiveness of these technologies in the educational environment, areas of success and challenges that still need to be addressed to optimise educator training in the digital age.

Digitization of Musu Rma data in Liu 1985

This is a dataset that has been digitized from Liu 1985. The data are Liu's transcriptions of Rma/Qiang words in the Musu variety of Heishui County, SIchuan China. This dataset includes the original transcription system which was not standard IPA due to type-setting. It also includes a version of the data in standardized IPA, as well as the Chinese glosses given by Liu. Liu, Huiqiang. 1985. Musu Qiang Phonology [Qiangyu Musuhua Yinxi]. Qiang Studies 110– 118.

Digitalization in Balkan Countries

This data was collected based on primary sources like IMF,WB, and secondary sources like ITU about the Balkan countries, represented by Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Bosna a Hercegovina  , Kosovo, and Albania, where the expansion is described. The data is described between the period 2018 to 2022, where it is possible to obtain a general, comprehensive overview about digitalization in Balkan countries .

FIGURE 3. Currently available descriptions across different families. The 5 in Towards digital descriptions of all extant reptile species

FIGURE 3. Currently available descriptions across different families. The 5 number columns show the number of species in each family (species), the number of species with descriptions or without (desc, no desc), the percentage of species with descriptions (percent), and the number of species without (left). The left bar chart shows the percentage of species with/out descriptions (blue/yellow). The right bar chart shows the absolute number of species with/out descriptions (blue/orange). Note that Iguanidae contains all 8 families now considered Iguanidae (s.l.), e.g. Opluridae etc. The Lamprophiidae (s.l.) also contain Atractaspididae, Psammophiidae, and Pseudoxyrhophiidae. Gymnophthalmidae (s.l.) contain Alopoglossidae and Anguidae (s.l.) contain Diploglossidae.

FIGURE 2 in Towards digital descriptions of all extant reptile species

FIGURE 2. Number of species with descriptions and images in the Reptile Database (A) 4,206 species descriptions contain information about other species, so even though the latter species do not have a description, information about them may be derived from those species that do. (B) Coverage of species by descriptions and/or photos.

FIGURE 1 in Towards digital descriptions of all extant reptile species

FIGURE 1 Species descriptions in the Reptile Database over time and ranked by information content. (A) Timeline over which descriptions have been added to the Reptile Database. (B) Descriptions ranked by "size". Each species with a description is shown as a vertical bar, with the hight indicating its size in characters (i.e., "bytes" or letters without spaces, Y axis). The X axis shows the ranked series of species. One example is shown in the insert, namely the description of Lampropeltis alterna. This description has 623 characters and is on the shorter end of the spectrum. The tail end of this graph shows ~700 species in which the description only consists of a reference, e.g., "Description: McDowell 1979: 51" (here: for Candoia aspera Ģnther 1877), hence they are very short.

The Alteromonas Digital Microbe without Singletons

This describes an Alteromonas digital microbe that contains a pangenome (without singleton genes) as well as corresponding item and layer data. This digital microbe is authored by Michelle DeMers (MIT) and Rogier Braakman (MIT) with help from the Meren Group and Moran Lab. The following files are included: Alteromonas_2_1_1_dbs.tar.gz: A compressed directory of all genomes dbs and the genome storage db used to make the pangenome. Alteromonas_Pangenome_2_1ns-PAN.db.tar.gz: The compressed pangenome without singletons. nsPangneomeFile*.tar.gz: A compressed directory of files produced while making the pangenome. external-genomes-v2.txt: The external genomes file that contains the name of each genome with the genome ID. layer_orders.txt: Phylogeny file from v 2.1.1 of this digital microbe. ANI2_1ns.tar.gz: Compressed directory produced when calculating ANI.

Data from: 3D printed digital pneumatic logic for the control of soft robotic actuators

Soft robots are paving their way to catch up with the application range of metal-based machines and to occupy fields which are challenging for traditional machines. Pneumatic actuators play an important role in this development, allowing the construction of bioinspired motion systems. Pneumatic logic gates provide a powerful alternative for controlling pressure-activated soft robots, which are often controlled by metallic valves and electric circuits. Many existing approaches for fully compliant pneumatic control logic suffer from high manual effort and low pressure tolerance. In our work, we invented 3D printable, pneumatic logic gates that perform Boolean operations and imitate electric circuits. Within 7 hours, an FDM printer is able to produce a module that serves as either an OR, AND or NOT gate; the logic function is defined by the assigned input signals. The gate contains two alternately acting pneumatic valves, whose work principle is based on the interaction of pressurized chambers and a 3D printed 1 mm tube inside. The gate design does not require any kind of support material for its hollow parts, which makes the modules ready to use directly after printing. Depending on the chosen material, the modules can operate on a pressure supply between 80 and over 750 kPa. The capabilities of the invented gates were verified by implementing an electronics-free drink dispenser based on a pneumatic ring oscillator and a 1-bit memory. Their high compliance is demonstrated by driving a car over a fully flexible, 3D printed robotic walker controlled by an integrated circuit.

Colour Palettes for Digital Elevation Models

We provide a collection of 18 colour palettes for the efficient visualisation of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), for example in the form of heatmaps. More precisely, we propose a combination of palettes from our own production and palettes extracted from the GEneral Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO), including their most recent charts as well as first editions of their paper charts from 1910-1930, 1932-1966, 1958-1973 and 1973-1982. These colour palettes have been harmonised in order to span a wide range of elevations, extending from the lowest depth of 11 000 metres, found in the Challenger Deep of the Mariana Trench, to the greatest height of 9 000 metres, reached atop Mount Everest. Moreover, these 18 colour palettes are supplied in the following 5 colour spaces: RGB (Red, Green, Blue), RGB 01, Hexadecimal, HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) and HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value).  Related article: Owein Thuillier, Nicolas Le Josse, Alexandru-Liviu Olteanu, Marc Sevaux, and Hervé Tanguy, Catalogue of coastal-based instances with bathymetric and topographic data.
