Rest as well as self-control: A deliberate evaluate along with meta-analysis.
This article presents a script developed to evaluate resilience in energy systems. The files corresponding to the system description, simulation and metrics calculation are included in the dataset, as well as partial raw and processed data from the associated paper [1]. The model was developed focusing on covering all cogeneration and power plants, being the user responsible for describing the system, simulating and processing the data in the files here available. In the present work, the steps for the simulation are presented in detail, which contributes to other researchers that are interested in either adopting resilience as one of the possible system analyses or understanding the processes of metrics calculation of the associated paper.This data article presents a flow shop scheduling problem in which machines are not available during the whole planning horizon and the periods of unavailability are due to random faults. The experimental dataset consists of two problems with different sizes. In the largest one, about 2400 problems were analysed and compared with two diffuse metaheuristics Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Harmony Search (HS). In the smallest, about 600 problems were analysed comparing the solution obtained with an exhaustive algorithm with those obtained by means of GA and HS. This dataset represents a test-bed for further works, allowing a comparison between the solution quality and the computation time obtained with different optimization methods. The substantial computational effort spent to generate the dataset undoubtedly represents a significant asset for the scientific community.The destruction of natural habitat for cropland and pasture represents a major threat to global biodiversity. Despite widespread societal concern about biodiversity loss associated with food production, consumer access to quantitative estimates of the impact of crop production on the world's species has been very limited compared to assessments of other environmental variables such as greenhouse gas emissions or water use. Here, we present a consistent dataset of the biodiversity footprints of pasture and 175 crops at the global and national level. The data were generated by combining maps of the global distribution of agricultural areas in the year 2000 with spatially explicit estimates of the biodiversity loss associated with the conversion of natural habitat to farmland. Estimates were derived for three common alternative measures of biodiversity - species richness, threatened species richness, and range rarity - of the world's mammals, birds, and amphibians. Our dataset provides important quantitative information for food consumers and policy makers, allowing them to take evidence-based decisions to reduce the biodiversity footprint of global food production.The present dataset consists of metadata for 36 examples of publicly available multi-issue climate change adaptation plans of small and mid-size urban communities in France and the United States. Compiled by Lioubimtseva and da Cunha [1] as a pilot sample for a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system developed by the authors, the complete dataset comprises assessment results based on 24 criteria of the plans' structure, content, and development process. To protect information about quality scores of individual planning documents, this published part of our dataset is limited to the essential information about the cities' profiles and their adaptation plans, with plan assessment results presented in Boolean format instead of actual rating scores, and the highlights of the strong points of each plan (instead of the actual quantitative scores generated in our study). The purpose of this dataset is to provide users with references to examples of strong points of the first generation climate adaptation plans developed between 2007 and 2017 in both countries.The data presented here are related to the research article "Miocene Atlantic transgressive-regressive events in northeastern and offshore Patagonia A palynological perspective" (Guler et al. 2021; https//doi.org/10.1016/j.jsames.2021.103239). A total of 60 drilled cutting samples from a 580 m-thick subsurface stratigraphic section (YPF.Ch.PV.es-1 borehole) in Península Valdés, Chubut Province, Argentina, collected every 10 m, were processed for palynological analysis. The quantitative data were statistically evaluated. In detail, the database contain 1) raw palynological data - proxy data - from counting under transmitted light microscope; 2) four paleoenvironmental variables selected to conduct a multivariate analysis terrestrial/marine ratio, acritarchs, outer neritic dinocyst taxa and warm-water dinocyst taxa; 3) transformed variables used for the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and 4) the principal component scores obtained, stratigraphically ordered from the top to bottom of the borehole. Data from future studies in new sites combined with here presented data, can be useful to refine paleoenvironment models applied to basin analysis.In order to deposit gel and paste-like materials, a commercially available HICTOP Prusa i3 plastic 3D printer was modified. The modification included replacing the existing plastic microextruder with a customised 3D printed syringe pump which could hold a syringe containing the printing material. The arrangement also allowed the temperature in the syringe to be controlled. Since the hardware of the printer was changed significantly, a new firmware was loaded on the 3D printer which was customised to enable it to perform its new function. BMS309403 The present data consists of the 3D image files of the syringe pump assembly and instructions on how to assemble the components. It also provides a copy of the modified firmware with a list of the changes made to it. This data will allow the readers to modify a similar type of 3D printer to print pastes and gels. This can be achieved by recreating the entire syringe pump assembly by 3D printing the given 3D image file data. With some changes, these designs can also be adapted to a variety of different printers. Similarly, the given firmware can also be loaded onto a similar type of printer. The list and explanation of the changes made to the firmware also allow such changes to be made to the respective firmwares of a variety of different printers.
