For this purpose, an online survey was disseminated via Qualtrics between 1 April and 20 April 2020, to record various socio-demographic and psychological variables. The measures included both validated (namely, the Impact of the Event Scale-Revised, the Perceived Stress Scale, the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire, the seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale, the Big Five Inventory 10-Item, and the Whiteley Index-7) and ad hoc questionnaires (nine items to investigate in-group and out-group trust). The final sample comprised 4081 participants (18–85 years old). The dataset could be helpful to other researchers in understanding the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its related preventive and protective measures. Furthermore, the present data might help shed some light on the role of individual differences in response to traumatic events. Finally, this dataset can increase the knowledge in investigating psychological distress, health anxiety, and personality traits.","PeriodicalId":55580,"journal":{"name":"Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables","volume":"39 1","pages":"111"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72663858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the methods of assessment encounter difficulties concerning the subjective judgments and interpretation of the evaluators. Thus, it is mainly geologists, seismologists, and engineers who perform this exhausting task. Here, we explore whether an evaluation made by semiskilled people and by the crowd is equivalent to the experts’ opinions and, thus, can be harnessed as part of the process. Therefore, we conducted surveys in which a cohort of graduate students studying natural hazards (n = 44) and an online crowd (n = 610) were asked to evaluate the level of severity of earthquake damage. The two outcome datasets were then compared with the evaluation made by two of the present authors, who are considered experts in the field. Interestingly, the evaluations of both the semiskilled cohort and the crowd were found to be fairly similar to those of the experts, thus suggesting that they can provide an interpretation close enough to an expert’s opinion on the severity level of earthquake damage. Such an understanding may indicate that although our analysis is preliminary and requires more case studies for this to be verified, there is vast potential encapsulated in crowd-sourced opinion on simple earthquake-related damage, especially if a large amount of data is to be handled.","PeriodicalId":55580,"journal":{"name":"Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables","volume":"22 1","pages":"108"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90904639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the data can be used for training intelligent program synthesizers or benchmarking mutation testing frameworks, and more applications are yet to be discovered. We describe the architecture of the DTA system, aiming to provide detailed insight regarding how and why the dataset was collected. In addition, we describe the algorithms responsible for source code analysis in the DTA system. These algorithms use vector representations of programs based on Markov chains, compute pairwise Jensen–Shannon divergences of programs, and apply hierarchical clustering algorithms in order to automatically discover high-level concepts used by students while solving unique tasks.

This can leave these anonymous publishers vulnerable to privacy-related attacks, as identifying information can be revealed. Twitter is an example of such a platform where identifying anonymous users/publishers is made possible by using machine learning techniques. To provide these anonymous users with stronger protection, we have examined the effectiveness of these techniques when critical fields in the metadata are masked or encrypted using tweets (text and images) from Twitter. Our results show that SVM achieved the highest accuracy rate of 95.81% without using data masking or encryption, while SVM achieved the highest identity recognition rate of 50.24% when using data masking and AES encryption algorithm. This indicates that data masking and encryption of metadata of tweets (text and images) can provide promising protection for the anonymity of users’ identities.","PeriodicalId":55580,"journal":{"name":"Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables","volume":"331 1","pages":"105"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73145130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, just before the COVID-19 pandemic, mortality was falling for all ages, with a different behavior according to different ages and countries. It is indubitable that the changes in the population longevity induced by shock events, even transitory ones, affecting demographic projections, have financial implications in public spending as well as in pension plans and life insurance. The Short Term Mortality Fluctuations (STMF) data series, providing data of all-cause mortality fluctuations by week within each calendar year for 38 countries worldwide, offers a powerful tool to timely analyze the effects of the mortality shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on Italian mortality rates. This dataset, recently made available as a new component of the Human Mortality Database, is described and techniques for the integration of its data with the historical mortality time series are proposed. Then, to forecast mortality rates, the well-known stochastic mortality model proposed by Lee and Carter in 1992 is first considered, to be consistent with the internal processing of the Human Mortality Database, where exposures are estimated by the Lee–Carter model; empirical results are discussed both on the estimation of the model coefficients and on the forecast of the mortality rates. In detail, we show how the integration of the yearly aggregated STMF data in the HMD database allows the Lee–Carter model to capture the complex evolution of the Italian mortality rates, including the higher lethality for males and older people, in the years that follow a large shock event such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, we discuss some key points concerning the improvement of existing models to take into account mortality shocks and evaluate their impact on future mortality dynamics.","PeriodicalId":55580,"journal":{"name":"Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables","volume":"44 1","pages":"107"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79409474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the development of data science, structural deformation prediction methods based on time-series data have attracted attention. Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average model (ARIMA) is a classical statistical analysis model, which is suitable for processing non-stationary time-series data. Long- and Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is a special cyclic neural network that can learn long-term dependent information in time series. Both are widely used in the field of temporal prediction. In view of the lack of time-series prediction in the tunnel deformation field, the body of this paper uses historical data of the Xinjian Road and the Dalian Road tunnel in Shanghai to propose a new way of modeling based on single points and road sections. ARIMA and LSTM models are applied in comprehensive experiments, and the results show that: (1) Both LSTM and ARIMA models have great performance for settlement and convergence deformation. (2) The overall robustness of ARIMA is better than that of LSTM, and it is more adaptable to the datasets. (3) The model prediction performance is closely related to the data quality. ARIMA has more stable performance under the lack of data volume, while LSTM has better performance with high-quality data and higher upper limit.","PeriodicalId":55580,"journal":{"name":"Atomic Data and Nuclear Data Tables","volume":"18 1","pages":"104"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81530484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
