Abstract
Files and variables File: Data.zip Description: This directory contains the aggregated tabular information from scoring eSTZ data products, as well as a handful of other files used in post-processing datasets. File: scripts.zip Description: Scripts for creating figures used in this manuscript and in an earlier poster. File: eSTZs_RetroactivelyReclassified.gpkg Description: This geopackage has one layer for each empirical seed transfer zone data product which the authors had access to. It includes running all steps of the eSTZwritR (R package) on these datasets, including RE-CLASSIFYING the original seed zone numbers. THIS SHOULD NOT BE USED as a simple aggregate of these data sets; the zone numbers DO NOT MATCH the historical data sets. File: RetroactivelyReclassified.zip Description: This directory has one directory for each empirical seed transfer zone data product which the authors had access to. It includes running all steps of the eSTZwritR (R package) on this data sets, including RE-CLASSIFYING the original seed zone numbers. THIS SHOULD NOT BE USED as a simple aggregate of these data sets; the zone numbers DO NOT MATCH the historical data sets. File: RetroactivelyStandardized.gpkg Description: This geopackage has a layer for each eSTZ reviewed in this manuscript. They have had all eSTZwritR steps run on them, except for re-ordering seed zone numbers. This is the dataset to use if you are interested in spinning up a quick synthesis using all products etc. File: RetroactivelyStandardized.zip Description: This directory has a subdirectory for each eSTZ reviewed in this manuscript. They have had all eSTZwritR steps run on them, except for re-ordering seed zone numbers. This is the dataset to use if you are interested in spinning up a quick synthesis using all products etc. Code/software Most GIS software should do. QGIS is tested extensively, as is R; Python should work flawlessly, and ESRI products should be fine too. Google Earth is an unknown. Access information Other publicly accessible locations of the data: None, WWETAC (Western Wildland Environmental Threat Evaluation Center) Seed Zone Viewer has the raw data, which should be suitable for most analysis. Note the web address keeps changing so it isn't provided here.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

The results show that the embedded industry has been able to apply agile methods in its development processes and that the appreciation of the agile methods and their individual practices appears to increase once adopted and applied in practice.

Consequences of happiness and unhappiness that are beneficial and detrimental for developers' mental well-being, the software development process, and the produced artifacts are found.

StudentSim is a research system for evaluating and improving AI tutoring tools before they are tested with learners. It models how individuals may engage with tutors, giving feedback to improve tutor performance across subjects like chess, writing, and mathematics. The post Simulating student learning for better AI tutoring appeared first on Microsoft Research.
