History and practice of 8 U.S. Code §1103 notes, Sec. 102(c): Improvement of barriers at border
<p>To expedite the construction of barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border, an extensive array of laws has been waived. This authority is codified in 8 U.S. Code §1103 notes, Sec. 102(c) - Improvement of Barriers at Border. In 1996 the Endangered Species Act of 1973 and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 were waived directly by Congress and in 2005 Congress delegated authority to the Secretary of Homeland Security to waive any law necessary with the REAL ID Act. Covering environmental protections, historic preservation, procurement procedures, religious freedoms, and more, waiver determinations facilitate the extensive and more rapid construction of border barriers. This dataset documents the history of this aspect of U.S. law as debated, as legislated, as proclaimed, and as litigated. </p> <p>This dataset is designed to accompany the following academic paper: Madsen, Kenneth D. 2022. Institutionalising the Exception: Homeland Security Section 102(c) Waivers and the Construction of Border Barriers. <em>Geopolitics</em>. https://doi.org/10.1080/14650045.2022.2126766</p>
Training and test data for: Not getting in too deep: A practical deep learning approach to routine crystallisation image classification
<p>These data were used to classify crystallisation experiments in Milne et al., (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.09.28.509868">https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.09.28.509868</a>). Here, four of the most widely-used convolutional deep-learning network architectures that can be implemented without the need for extensive computational resources were compared. It was shown that the classifiers have different strengths that can be combined to provide an ensemble classifier achieving a classification accuracy comparable to that obtained by a large consortium initiative (Bruno et al. PLOS one, 13(6), 2018). Eight classes were used to rank the experimental outcomes, thereby providing detailed information that can be used with routine crystallography experiments to automatically identify crystal formation for drug discovery and pave the way for further exploration of the relationship between crystal formation and crystallisation conditions.</p>

Ungulate occurrence in forest harvest blocks is influenced by forage availability, surrounding habitat, and silviculture practices
<p>Forest harvesting causes habitat loss and alteration and can change predator-prey dynamics. In Canada, forest harvesting has shifted the distribution and abundance of ungulates (deer, elk, and moose) that prefer early seral forest, resulting in unsustainable caribou predation by shared predators (bears, cougars, and wolves). Long-term solutions for caribou recovery require management to reduce ungulate prey species within caribou ranges. Silviculture practices applied after forest harvesting directly affect the amount of forage available in harvested areas, and therefore influence ungulate distribution, but few studies have completed detailed assessments on how specific treatments of site preparation, planting, and stand tending influence ungulate use of harvest blocks.</p> <p>We used camera traps, silviculture data, GIS-derived habitat and disturbance data, and detailed vegetation data collected at field sites to investigate ungulate occurrence in harvest blocks in west-central Alberta, Canada. We compared seasonal ungulate occurrence and investigated how site-specific characteristics, the surrounding habitat and disturbance density, and fine-scale silviculture treatments influenced ungulate occurrence in blocks. </p> <p>Deer, elk, and moose occurrence was higher in summer compared to winter. Elk, moose, and white-tailed deer occurrence were higher in blocks with greater availability of specific forage species. Moose occurrence was higher in blocks with a lower road density in the surrounding area, and white-tailed deer occurrence was higher in blocks further from seismic lines and with a lower proportion of harvest blocks in the surrounding area.</p> <p>Deer, elk, and moose occurrence were higher in younger harvest blocks. Mule deer and white-tailed deer occurrence were lower in blocks with higher planting densities of lodgepole pine, and mule deer occurrence was also lower in blocks that had been stand-tended.</p> <p>Our study provides detailed information on ungulate response to fine-scale silviculture methods used in Alberta, directly linking wildlife occurrence to forestry practices, and providing practical scientific information to inform sustainable forestry. Translating this research into practical landscape management decisions could benefit boreal biodiversity, including threatened species like caribou, and culturally and economically important species like deer, elk, and moose. </p>
Formal properties collected from practical model-checking projects
<p>Since 2008, VTT has been applying model checking in practical customer projects in the Finnish nuclear and railway industries. We have collected 3923 formal properties specified and verified by VTT analysts in the those projects between the years 2014 and 2022. To mask confidential data, we have removed the references to the original model variables, and only preserved the temporal structure of each property.</p> <p>Please cite:</p> <p><span>Pakonen A.</span>, Buzhinsky, I., Vyatkin, V. <strong>Evaluation of visual property specification languages based on practical model-checking experience</strong>.<br>Journal of Systems and Software, vol. 216, October 2024, 112153. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jss.2024.112153</p>
The state of digital archaeological archiving policies and practice [questionnaire survey results]
<p>The digital transition in archaeology is often taken for granted, yet the process is far from complete. The topic of digital archiving has been addressed by both the EAC Working Group for Archaeological Archives and the SEADDA project. These two entities joined forces to produce a special issue of the Internet Archaeology journal, bringing together papers on digital archiving practices in over two dozen countries (Richards et al. 2021). The papers were later analysed by EAC and SEADDA to compare the international situation. The results reveal both shared difficulties associated with the issue of documentary archives worldwide and examples of good practices that help to overcome these problems.</p> <p>A questionnaire survey was also carried out to complement the findings resulting from the interpretation of the published articles with supporting data covering the whole European area in a balanced way. The survey allowed for the compilation of an overview of the situation in 27 countries (30 regions) of Europe. All respondents were experts involved in digital archiving and/or heritage data management in individual countries. Based on the collected information, the disproportion in value of archaeological data and their position within heritage management practice is already proving to be a major shortcoming. Presented dataset contains the questionnaire and the survey results, serving as complementary material to the published interpretation (Novák et al. <em>forthcoming</em>).</p> <p>References:</p> <p>Novák, D. - Oniszczuk, A. - Gumbert, B. <em>forthcoming</em>: Digital archaeological archiving policies and practice in Europe: the EAC call for action.

Data from: Local and landscape scale woodland cover and diversification of agroecological practices shape butterfly communities in tropical smallholder landscapes
<p>The conversion of biodiversity-rich woodland to farmland and subsequent management has strong, often negative, impacts on biodiversity. In tropical smallholder agricultural landscapes, the impacts of agriculture on insect communities, both through habitat change and subsequent farmland management, is understudied. The use of agroecological practices has social and agronomic benefits for smallholders. Although ecological co-benefits of agroecological practices are assumed, systematic empirical assessments of biodiversity effects of agroecological practices are missing, particularly in Africa.</p> <p>In Malawi, we assessed butterfly abundance, species richness, species assemblages and community life-history traits on 24 paired woodland and smallholder-managed farmland sites located across a gradient of woodland cover within a 1 km radius. We tested whether habitat type (woodland vs. farmland) and woodland cover at the landscape scale interactively shaped butterfly communities. Farms varied in the implementation of agroecological pest and soil management practices and flowering plant species richness.</p> <p>Farmland had lower butterfly abundances and approximately half the species richness than woodland. Farmland butterfly communities had, on average, a larger wingspan than woodland site communities. Surprisingly, higher woodland cover in the landscape had no effect on butterfly abundance in both habitats. In contrast, species richness was higher with higher woodland cover. Butterfly species assemblages were distinct between wood- and farmland and shifted across the woodland cover gradient.</p> <p>Farmland butterfly abundance, but not species richness, was higher with higher flowering plant species richness on farms. Farms with a higher number of agroecological pest management practices had a lower abundance of the dominant butterfly species, but not of rarer species. However, a larger number of agroecological soil management practices was associated with a higher abundance of rarer species. </p> <p><em>Synthesis and applications</em>: We show that diversified agroecological soil practices and flowering plant richness enhanced butterfly abundance on farms. However, our results suggest that on-farm measures cannot compensate for the negative effects of continued woodland conversion. Therefore, we call for more active protection of remaining African woodlands in tandem with promoting agroecological soil management practices and on-farm flowering plant richness to conserve butterflies whilst benefiting smallholders.</p>

Towards a practical framework to "ethics by design" data sharing and machine learning applications
<p>Responsible AI and data-driven applications can only be developed when teams integrate the ethical principles directly into the development process. An important prerequisite is the involvement of a diverse group of stakeholders who build and are affected by AI and data systems. We present a practical framework that helps teams build trustworthy AI systems and data strategies by combining expertise and training from philosophy, law, machine learning and design.</p>
Supplementary material/Organic carbon dynamics in clay soils: impact of management practices on microorganism structure and abundance under semi-arid conditions
<p>Proper management of soil organic matter in arid and semi-arid regions improves organic carbon storage in the soil, helps in compact soil degradation, and mitigates climate change impacts, and preserves ecosystem functionality and sustainability food security. This study aims to provide a better insight into the biogeochemical processes that drive the organic carbon dynamics of saline clay soil in a semi-arid climate. The study is not intended to be exhaustive but contributes to analyzing the relationship between bacterial microflora, physicochemical properties, and organic carbon dynamics as a function of different soil management modes. The monitoring was carried out on three different plots located at the National Institute of Agronomic Research of Algeria. A physicochemical characterization of the soils was performed. A metagenomic study was also conducted to identify bacterial biodiversity using PCR-amplified DNA sequencing. The study results show that the control plot has the highest average organic carbon stock value at 47 Mg ha<sup>-1</sup>. This was followed by the amended plot and the conventional plot, respectively, with 43 Mg ha<sup>-1</sup> and 38 Mg ha<sup>-1</sup>. In the context of this study, organic carbon dynamics would appear to depend on the interaction of several biotic and abiotic factors. Soil management methods would impact the density and diversity of bacterial microflora. This, in turn, affects the soil's physicochemical properties and, more specifically, organic carbon dynamics and storage.</p>
Data from: Changes in environment and management practices improve foot health in zoo-housed flamingos
<p><strong>Summary</strong></p> <p>This dataset accompanies the publication <strong>"Changes in Environment and Management Practices Improve Foot Health in Zoo-Housed Flamingos"</strong> published in <em>Animals</em>. This study tracked changes in foot lesions for an individual flock of Chilean flamingos (97 birds) at Dublin Zoo (Ireland) over an 18-month period in response to management and substrate changes .</p> <p>Photos of each flamingo's feet were taken on May 6th 2021, when all flamingos had access to their outdoor habitat (<strong>Time Point A</strong>). Photos were taken again on 16th April 2022, following a six month period when the flamingos were restricted to their indoor habitat due to a Government order to prevent the spread of Avian Influenza (<strong>Time Point B</strong>). Final photos were taken on 9th November 2022, six months following the release of the birds back into their outdoor habitat (<strong>Time Point C</strong>). Further details can be found in the corresponding publication. </p> <p>Scoring was undertaken blindly by two independent and trained evaluators. These scores reflect the scoring metric developed by Nielsen et al. 2010, and include the four types of common flamingo foot lesion: hyperkeratosis, fissures, nodular lesions, and papillomatous growths. The independently calculated foot scores were subsequently compared, and in instances where the foot scores did not match, a consensus was sought between both evaluators to provide a final value for subsequent analysis. The data presented here reflects the consensus values used in the analysis. Discrepancies in the foot scores between both evaluators are reported and discussed in the corresponding publication. </p> <p><br> <strong>Description of the Dataset</strong></p> <p>One file is provided in .csv format.
