UAV Laser Scanning surveys of the lake terminating glacier Fjallsjokull in SE Iceland, captured in July, 2021.

This dataset consists of 5 separate laser scanning surveys performed between the 8th and 15th July, 2021. Two surveys were conducted in the morning and afternoon of the 8th and the 9th, and then only the morning of the 15th. The point clouds have been cleaned to remove erroneous points. The point clouds were processed using the methods and code available at <a href="https://github.com/christomsett/Direct_Georeferencing">Direct_Georeferencing</a>. All point clouds are georeferenced in the projected WGS 1984 UTM 28N system, and provided in the widely used compressed 'laz' format. An accuracy assessment of the data showed that all surveys were consistent to within 0.1 m of each other, apart from the second flight (afternoon) on the 8th July. Any users of this data should be aware of its limitations in a challenging cryospheric environment.

Inventory data of woody plants surveyed and measured in North Senegal (Ferlo) in 2015-2017

This dataset gathers measurements from field inventory on woody vegetation carried in the sylvo-pastoral zone of Ferlo (Senegalese Sahel) in 2015-2016-2017. The data consist of dendrometric measurements, location and species for 3215 woody individuals (trees, bushes, and shrubs) belonging to 25 species and 11 families. Sites The study sites are located in the Northern Sandy Pastoral Region of Senegal around the deep wells of Widou Thiengoly (15.99° N, 15.32° W) and Tessékéré (15.85° N, 15.06° W). The vegetation formation is an open savanna, with a relatively low woody cover. For the field work of 2015, we applied a stratified sampling according to the topography and the distance to the studied deep wells. We inventoried 139 plots of 0.25 ha each. The center of each plot was marked by a gps point. The plots were located at increasing distances from the boreholes: 2, 3.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 km (20 plots per distance). For each distance, we randomly selected at least six plots in depressions (43 plots in total), the other plots being located on slopes or on hilltops, with a total vertical drop of several meters (96 plots in total). Whenever possible, the plots in each category of topography were distributed between the two soil types. In total, 86 plots were allocated to the ferruginous soils and 53 plots to the sub-arid brown red soils.  In 2016, additional woody plants were surveyed within 10 circular plots with a variable radius between 27 m and 52 m, so that at least 10 individuals were counted for each plot. In 2017, woody plants were surveyed within 30 square plots of 0.25 ha each. Woody individuals were all geotagged in 2016 and 2017.   Field measurements Adults woody plants (with a circumference superior to 10 cm at ground level) were inventoried within square plots (2015, 2017) or circular (2016). Species name was identified for all individuals and recorded following the taxonomic referential of the African Plant Database (version 3.4.0). Three types of dendrometric measurements were performed on woody plants: (i) circumference, measured at 30 cm from ground level, except for shrubs for which circumference was measured at ground level; (ii) tree height, measured by an ultrasonic hypsometer Vertex IV (Haglof Inc.) (iii) two perpendicular crown diameters. GPS points were taken (GPSMAP 62, Garmin Inc.) at the center of each plot (for 2015) and, in some cases for each individual (2016-2017). Data structure and metadata Data are encoded in a single file, using comma-delimited format and UTF-8 encoding. Each row describes one individual woody plant with its corresponding measurements. The following table presents the variables (columns) contained in the dataset. Shapefile format is also available (same data as the .csv). <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> Variable name </td> <td> Unit </td> <td> Definition </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Tree_id </td> <td> - </td> <td> Unique identifier of the individual, with a 13 characters length.

A tree designates a woody plant taller than 5 to 6 meters, generally presenting a single trunk. A bush, or a dwarf tree as in Pérez-Harguindeguy et al. (2013), is the intermediary between a shrub and a tree. Its height is usually between 2 to 6 meters and it is often multi-stemmed.

Impact of Software Engineering Research in Practice: A Patent and Author Survey Analysis

Dataset of the research paper: Impact of Software Engineering Research in Practice: A Patent and Author Survey Analysis Existing work on the practical impact of software engineering (SE) research examines industrial relevance rather than adoption of study results, hence the question of how results have been practically applied remains open. To answer this and investigate the outcomes of impactful research, we performed a quantitative and qualitative analysis of 4 354 SE patents citing 1 690 SE papers published in four leading SE venues between 1975–2017. Moreover, we conducted a survey on 475 authors of 593 top-cited and awarded publications, achieving 26% response rate. Overall, researchers have equipped practitioners with various tools, processes, and methods, and improved many existing products. SE practice values knowledge-seeking research and is impacted by diverse cross-disciplinary SE areas. Practitioner-oriented publication venues appear more impactful than researcher-oriented ones, while industry-related tracks in conferences could enhance their impact. Some research works did not reach a wide footprint due to limited funding resources or unfavorable cost-benefit trade-off of the proposed solutions. The need for higher SE research funding could be corroborated through a dedicated empirical study. In general, the assessment of impact is subject to its definition. Therefore, academia and industry could jointly agree on a formal description to set a common ground for subsequent research on the topic.

Tawi Said Archaeological Survey: GIS

This is part of the data (GIS) obtained during the survey at Tawi Said 2018. More data can be found in the other submissions of the Tawi Said Archaeological Survey community. The site of Tawi Said is located in the Al-Sharqiyah governorate, approximately 5 km northwest of the modern city of Bidiyah, on the edge of the Sharqiyah Desert. It was discovered in 1976 by Beatrice de Cardi. Two years later, she returned to conduct small scale excavations at the site. Subsequently, numerous references to the site were made in the literature as the only known settlement of the Wadi Suq period (2000-1600 BC) in Central Oman. In November 2018, a short survey was conducted by the Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany, in Tawi Said. An area of 150 x 120 m was intensively field-walked in 1.5 m wide transects to ensure complete visual coverage of the investigated area. Each find received an ascending number and its exact location was recorded using a portable GPS device. In total, nearly 7500 objects were documented that date back to the Wadi Suq, as well as the (late) Islamic period. Among the finds, the largest group  of artefacts, by far, is of pottery sherds, followed by marine shells and snails, stone artefacts, metal objects, and jewellery. Furthermore, two stamp seals, one of them of a Wadi Suq period date, were found.

A Patent Survey on the Biotechnological Production of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA): Current Trends and Challenges

The production of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) as a biobased commodity chemical has gained great importance over the last years. The possibility of replacing conventional polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-based plastics by polyethylene furanoate (PEF) is accelerating applied research in the direction of novel and highly productive synthesis routes to FDCA. This paper explores the patent activities related to FDCA production, with particular emphasis on the potential role that enzymatic catalytic methods may have. An increasing number of patent applications (and granted ones) have been disclosed over the last decade. The innovation is set on the development of multi-step catalytic processes, involving multi-enzymatic and chemoenzymatic cascades, or using whole-cells, either as resting (non-growing) biocatalysts or as living organisms in fermentative processes. Moreover, other innovative paths use substrates different from fructose and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), such as gluconic acid, or furfural. Overall, opportunities for innovation exist, albeit current production metrics in biotechnological methods remain mostly at the proof-of-concept level. Large development efforts to reach industrial targets are needed, which may be stimulated by the less severe processing conditions expected for biotechnology, leading to energy savings, less by-product formation, and to the valorization of crude effluents.

Survey data on behaviours and attitudes towards green food consumption of participants of the SmartFood Urban Living Lab in Warsaw, Poland

In this dataset, we present raw data of a survey on behaviours and attitudes towards green food consumption, conducted between June 2023 and April 2024 among a group of 21 households from Warsaw, participating in a SmartFood Urban Living Lab (ULL). The dataset is complemented with results collected from two control groups. The SmartFood Urban Living Lab was an intervention aimed at providing residents of urban blocks of flats with a novel technology for growing their own food. The ULL served as an experimental ground for testing and refining innovations such as hydroponic cabins, rainwater management systems, solar energy systems, and insect farming units. Residents actively participated in the lab, providing valuable insights into the practical challenges and benefits of urban farming, which helped refine and adapt the technologies for broader application. After each month of the intervention, a survey was conducted to check participants' behaviours and attitudes towards green food consumption
