The proposed sell-off of federal lands in the Senate budget bill includes a LOT of Joshua tree habitat—the trees grow in some of the largest areas of undeveloped land in the lower 48 states
The place where eastern and western Joshua trees hybridize, north of Creech AFB, is included

Solving Package Management via Hypergraph Dependency Resolution
Package managers are everywhere, with seemingly every language and operating system implementing their own solution. The lack of interoperability between these systems means that multi-lingual projects are unable to express precise dependencies across language ecosystems, and external system and hardware dependencies are typically implicit and unversioned. We define HyperRes, a formal system for describing versioned dependency resolution using a hypergraph that is expressive enough to model man…

Software architecture and manual for novel versatile CT image analysis toolbox -- AnatomyArchive
We have developed a novel CT image analysis package named AnatomyArchive, built on top of the recent full body segmentation model TotalSegmentator. It provides automatic target volume selection and deselection capabilities according to user-configured anatomies for volumetric upper- and lower-bounds. It has a knowledge graph-based and time efficient tool for anatomy segmentation mask management and medical image database maintenance. AnatomyArchive enables automatic body volume cropping, as wel…

🚀 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 0.2.0 is here. As before, you are getting nicely formatted Open Mobility Big Data released by the Spanish Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility (MITMS) in a reproducible way. #rstats #opendata

Get Spanish Origin-Destination Data
Gain seamless access to origin-destination (OD) data from the Spanish Ministry of Transport, hosted at . This package simplifies the management of these large datasets by providing tools to download zone boundaries, handle associated origin-destination data, and process it efficiently with the duckdb database interface. Local caching minimizes repeated downloads, streamlining wo…

Analyzing C/C++ Library Migrations at the Package-level: Prevalence, Domains, Targets and Rationals across Seven Package Management Tools
Library migration happens when a library can not meet the project's requirements and is non-trivial to accomplish. To mitigate the problem, substantial efforts have been devoted to understanding its characteristics and recommending alternative libraries, especially for programming language (PL) ecosystems with a central package hosting platform, such as Python (PyPI). However, to the best of our knowledge, understanding of C/C++ library migrations is still lacking, possibly due to challenges re…

Comparing the Performance of MC/DC's on-GPU Event-based Processing Methods in Multigroup and Continuous-energy Problems
Monte Carlo / Dynamic Code (MC/DC) is a portable Monte Carlo neutron transport package for rapid numerical methods exploration in heterogeneous and HPC contexts, developed under the auspices of the Center for Exascale Monte Carlo Neutron Transport (CEMeNT). To support execution on GPUs, MC/DC delegates resource and execution management to Harmonize (another CEMeNT software project). In this paper, we describe and compare the performance of the two methods that Harmonize currently provides: a st…

PVAC: Package Version Activity Categorizer, Leveraging Semantic Versioning in a Heterogeneous System
Context: Modern open-source software ecosystems, such as those managed by GNU/Linux distributions, are composed of numerous packages developed independently by diverse communities. These ecosystems employ package management tools to facilitate software installation and dependency resolution. However, these tools lack robust mechanisms for systematically evaluating the development activity and versioning dynamics within their heterogeneous software environments. Objective: This research aims to …
