We consciously chose not to use automated methods with water indices such as the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) or the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI), as these do not effectively distinguish water surfaces in areas covered with forest or dense reed thickets. Similarly, we did not use the SRTM digital elevation model due to significant artifacts in the study area, where the model shows the height of the forest canopy instead of the ground surface in forested areas.</p> <p>For visual interpretation of Sentinel-2A remote sensing data, we used combinations of spectral bands NIR-Red-Green (8-4-3) and SWIR2-NIR-Green (12-8-3). For the visual interpretation of Landsat-9 remote sensing data, we used combinations of bands SWIR1-NIR-Red (6-5-4) and NIR-Red-Green (5-4-3). To better align the resolution of Sentinel-2A remote sensing data (10 m/pixel) with that of Landsat-9 (30 m/pixel), the latter's data was enhanced using the panchromatic channel (Band 8) through IHS-based pansharpening to 15 m/pixel. The pansharpening was performed using a custom bash script, utilizing command-line tools and utilities such as ImageMagick (<a href="https://imagemagick.org" rel="nofollow">https://imagemagick.org</a>), listgeo, and geotifcp (<a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/libgeotiff">https://github.com/OSGeo/libgeotiff</a>). To expedite the pansharpening process, both Landsat scenes were cropped to the study region and merged by bands using the gdal_translate and gdal_merge.py utilities from the GDAL library (<a href="https://gdal.org/" rel="nofollow">https://gdal.org/</a>). For convenience, the Sentinel-2A data tiles T36TUS, T36TVS, and T36TWS were also cropped and merged by bands using custom scripts available at <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13205058" rel="nofollow">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13205058</a>.</p> <p>During visual interpretation, the above-mentioned remote sensing data were compared with satellite images acquired before the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant. In particular, Landsat-9 remote sensing data were compared with Landsat-8 data from June 1, 2023, and Sentinel-2A data were compared with Sentinel-2B data from June 3, 2023.</p> <p>Repository files:<br>floodMax_UTM36N.zip &mdash; contains the shapefile in UTM36N projection (EPSG:32636);<br>floodMax_WGS84.zip &mdash; contains the shapefile in geographic coordinates in WGS84 (EPSG:4326);<br>floodMax_WGS84.geojson.zip &mdash; contains a GeoJSON file in WGS84 coordinates (EPSG:4326).</p> <div> <h1>Web version of the map</h1> </div> <p>The web version of the maximum water spread map is available at:<br><a href="https://yumoskalenko.github.io/floodmap_Kakhovka2023/" rel="nofollow">https://yumoskalenko.github.io/floodmap_Kakhovka2023/</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Embed code for the map on a webpage:</p> <div> <pre><code>&lt;iframe style="border: 1px solid black" src="https://yumoskalenko.github.io/floodmap_Kakhovka2023/index.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="360" frameborder="0"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt; </code></pre> <div>&nbsp;</div> </div> <p><em><strong>This scientific and technical product was created by the scientists of the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine during the implementation of research on the topic "Monitoring the condition of natural complexes of the Black Sea Biosphere Reserve (&lsquo;Chronicle of Nature&rsquo;)" (state registration number 0121U109174).</strong></em></p>

Data set: Land use and land cover change in a tropical mountain landscape of northern Ecuador: altitudinal patterns and driving forces

<p>Tropical mountain ecosystems are threatened by land use pressures, compromising their capacity to provide multiple ecosystem services. The analysis of landscape changes and their proximate driving forces is often qualitative and sectorial oriented, although local patterns and numerous interactions among socio-economic, demographic, and biophysical factors shape these socio-ecological systems. We characterized land use land cover (LULC) dynamics using Markov-chain probabilities by elevation and geographic settings and then, implementing the DPSIR holistic approach, we integrated them with a variety of freely available geospatial and temporal data into a Generalized Additive Model (GAM) to uncover the factors driving such landscape dynamics in a sensitive region of the northern Ecuadorian Andes. Our results demonstrated a dynamic and clear geographical pattern of distinct LULC transitions through time, explained by different combination of socio-economic factors, demographic and infrastructure variables and environmental parameters, from which topographic variables were the main drivers of change in this landscape. We found that deforestation of remnant native forest and agricultural expansion still occur in higher elevations, while land conversion toward anthropic environments, particularly significant expansion of floriculture and urban areas were observed in lower elevations to the east of the studied territory. Our findings also revealed an unexpected stability trend of paramo and a successional recovery of previous agricultural land to the west and center of the territory, which could be explained by agricultural land abandonment. However, the very low probability of persistence of montane forests found overall, highlights the greater threat to permanently lose the already vulnerable mountain native biodiversity. The methodological approach and our findings, demonstrating dynamic patterns through space and time and their explanatory drivers, could help local authorities and stakeholder to improve sustainably resource land management in vulnerable landscapes such as the tropical Andes in northern Ecuador.</p>

Dataset on Force Myography for Human Robot Interactions

<p>Force myography (FMG) is a contemporary, non-invasive, wearable technology that can read the underlying muscle volumetric changes during muscle contractions and expansions. The FMG technique can be used in recognizing human applied hand forces during physical human robot interactions (pHRI) via data-driven models. Several FMG-based pHRI studies were conducted in 1D, 2D and 3D during dynamic interactions between a human participant and a robot to realize human applied forces in intended directions during certain tasks. Raw FMG signals were collected via 16-channel (forearm) and 32-channel (forearm and upper arm) FMG bands while interacting with a biaxial stage (linear robot) and a serial manipulator (Kuka robot). In this paper, we present the datasets and their structures, the pHRI environments, and the collaborative tasks performed during the studies. We believe these datasets can be useful in future studies on FMG biosignal-based pHRI control design.</p> <p>The full description of this dataset, it&rsquo;s components and structure are available in the data descriptor article submitted&nbsp;in MDPI Data.

Dual spring force couples yield multifunctionality and ultrafast, precision rotation in tiny biomechanical systems

<p>Small organisms use propulsive springs rather than muscles to repeatedly actuate high acceleration movements, even when constrained to tiny displacements and limited by inertial forces.  Through integration of a large kinematic dataset, measurements of elastic recoil, energetic math modeling, and dynamic math modeling, we tested how trap-jaw ants (Odontomachus brunneus) utilize multiple elastic structures to develop ultrafast and precise mandible rotations at small scales. We found that O. brunneus develops torque on each mandible using an intriguing configuration of two springs: their elastic head capsule recoils to push and the recoiling muscle-apodeme unit tugs on each mandible.  Mandibles achieved precise, planar, circular trajectories up to 49,100 radians/sec (470,000 rpm) when powered by spring propulsion. Once spring propulsion ended, the mandibles moved with unconstrained and oscillatory rotation.  We term this mechanism "dual spring force couple" meaning that two springs deliver energy at two locations to develop torque.  Dynamic modeling revealed that dual spring force couples reduce the need for joint constraints and thereby reduce dissipative joint losses, which is essential to the repeated use of ultrafast, small systems.  Dual spring force couples enable multifunctionality: trap-jaw ants use the same mechanical system to produce ultrafast, planar strikes driven by propulsive springs and for generating slow, multi-degree of freedom mandible manipulations using muscles, rather than springs, to directly actuate the movement.  Dual spring force couples are found in other systems and are likely widespread in biology.  These principles can be incorporated into microrobotics to improve multifunctionality, precision, and longevity of ultrafast systems.</p>
