This paper is aimed at implementing the programming language r to analyze and forecast electricity supply-demand for Texas. Historical weekly electricity supply-demand data for Texas, September 2016 through August 2017 was used to forecast future electricity demand. One year of electricity supply demand data was retrieved from the Electric reliability Council of Texas (ErCOT) data bank and arranged in a per day electricity supply-demand, allocated over a twelve month period to give one data point per day. The formulated model was processed and implemented in the r programming environment for stochastic analysis and future electricity demand prediction. The predicted model was compared with the actual electricity supply-demand, September 2017 through June 2018. Time series forecasting of electricity demand provides information about future electricity demand to utility operators, who can make decisions on when to implement peak shaving.

Thermoelectric (TE) power plants withdraw more water than any other sector of water use in the United States and consume water at rates that can be significant especially in water-stressed regions. Historical TE water-use data have been inconsistent, incomplete, or discrepant, resulting in an increased research focus on improving the accuracy and availability of TE water-use data using modeling approaches. This paper describes and benchmarks new code that was developed to automate and update a physics-based TE water use model that was previously published. Utilizing the automated physics-based model, monthly TE-power water withdrawal and consumption were calculated for a total of 1341 TE power plants for the 2008-2020 historical reanalysis. The updated and automated physics-based thermoelectric-power water-use model provides spatially and temporally relevant TE water-use estimates that are consistent, reproducible, transparent, and can be generated efficiently for waterusing, utility-scale TE-power plants across conterminous United States (CONUS).

This study explores the large language model-powered low-code and no-code (LC/NC) data analytics methods and evaluates their advantages and risks. Then, we conducted an empirical study at a university to examine how LC/NC tools enable complex data analyses without requiring extensive programming training.

Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is now a critical tool in molecular biology and structural proteomics. It is routinely used to probe protein and conformational dynamics through a well-established experiment where amide hydrogens exchange with deuterium atoms in a buffer containing D2O. Although there have been numerous advances in the field, data analysis still poses challenges mainly due to the need for manual curation of the data and the lack of standardized statistics and accessible software. In response, we developed Kingfisher, an open-source, user-friendly, web-based solution that facilitates downstream analysis using well-established statistics and provides advanced high-resolution representations of the HDX results. Kingfisher is able to read data directly as exported from common software packages and usually takes less than a minute to run the analysis, without the need to download the raw code or install any software. We foresee Kingfisher as a valuable tool for both newcomers and experts in the field of Hydrogen Exchange Mass Spectrometry. Kingfisher is available to all users as an interactive web application at .

This paper presents a newly developed phase extraction algorithm to determine surface displacements and accurately estimate surface roughness parameters. The algorithm utilises radial image processing to extract the phase from the central region of an interferogram with circular fringes obtained from a self-built Michelson- type interferometer with a single rough surface. A key advantage of the method lies in its ability to leverage the entire image for phase extraction, even when the fringes are fragmented, or the central region is unclear. The linearrelationship between the extracted phase and the object's displacement eliminates ambiguities associated with intensity measurements near maximum or minimum values while reliably indicating the direction of motion. Furthermore, the algorithm effectively addresses speckle interference challenges, common in industrial applications where lasers are the primary light source. The proposed setup, combined with the advanced image processing algorithm, achieves displacement measurements with sub-micrometre precision, offering a robust tool for analysing rough surfaces in industrial environments.
In psychological research, variables often exhibit point-mass inflation-for example, many zero responses or other boundary lumps-that defy standard regression techniques. Hurdle models address this challenge by separa...

This article focused on the analysis of four years of circulation data from print monographs acquired through an approval plan and firm ordering and incorporated interlibrary loan data to compare purchases with demand. A group of subject areas, including communication, psychology, and engineering were selected as examples for in-depth analysis. Using r programming, the authors automated an analysis to identify areas needing attention. The results from the analysis, together with librarians' subject expertise, enabled librarians to adjust monograph purchases accordingly.

Software documentation is often neglected, impacting maintenance and reuse and leading to technical issues. In particular, when working with scientific software, such issues in the documentation pose a risk to producing reliable scientific results as they may cause improper or incorrect use of the software. r is a popular programming language for scientific software with a prolific package-based ecosystem, where users contribute packages (i.e., libraries). r packages are intended to be reused, and their users rely extensively on the available documentation. Thus, understanding what information developers provide in their packages' documentation (generally, through a system known as roxygen, based on Javadoc) is essential to contribute to it. This study mined 379 GitHub repositories of r packages and analysed a sample to develop a taxonomy of natural language descriptions used in roxygen documentation. This was done through hybrid card sorting, which included two experienced r developers. The resulting taxonomy covers parameters, returns, and descriptions, providing a baseline for further studies. Our taxonomy is the first of its kind forr. Based on previous studies in pure object-oriented languages, our taxonomy could be extensible to other dynamically-typed languages used in scientific programming.
