Replication Data for: Investigating the Impact of Brief Outings on the Welfare of Dogs Living in US Shelters
No full textSocial isolation likely contributes to reduced welfare for shelter-living dogs. Several studies have established that time out of the kennel with a person can improve dogs’ behavior and reduce physiological measures of stress. This study assessed the effects of two-and-a-half-hour outings on the urinary cortisol levels and activity of dogs as they awaited adoption at four animal shel-ters. Dogs’ urine was collected before and after outings for cortisol:creatinine analysis, and ac-celerometer devices were used to measure dogs’ physical activity. In total, 164 dogs participated in this study, with 793 cortisol values and 3750 activity measures used in the statistical analyses. We found that dogs’ cortisol:creatinine ratios were significantly higher during the afternoon of the intervention but returned to pre-field trip levels the following day. Dogs’ minutes of low ac-tivity were significantly reduced, and high activity significantly increased during the outing. Although dogs’ cortisol and activity returned to baseline after the intervention, our findings sug-gest that short-term outings do not confer the same stress reduction benefits as previously shown with temporary fostering. Nevertheless, it is possible that these types of outing programs are ben-eficial to adoptions by increasing the visibility of dogs and should be further investigated to elu-cidate these effects
Arizona Birth Statistics
No full textArizona birth data sets include over 100 fields describing the birth event. Data for identifiable data set include birth attendants, facilities, providers, and parents’ information. Data about the child includes all demographics as well as details and measurements at the time of the birth and during delivery. Further data on the days following the birth include information on breast feeding, and number of siblings. The data set also includes prenatal information regarding the mother's care and other risk factors during the pregnancy.
ASU maintains a five-year rolling data set for births. The latest year available is 2023.

Replication Data for: Alarm Propagation in Social Insects
No full textThis project studied alarm signal propagation in social insect colonies. The data
includes individual ants' x,y coordinates, speed and orientation, which
were used to train a machine learning regression model in order to identify
each individual ant's alarm state. By applying estimates of alarm state on
each individual, we could track the alarm signal propagation pathways
Mary Wollstonecraft and Influence - Preprocessed Data
No full textPreprocessing steps for this topic modeling are laid out in this dataset. It contains a stopword list, additions made to the stop word list, plus steps taken to clean each text within the corpus.
Original stopword list obtained at GitHub: https://github.com/fozziethebeat/S-Space/blob/master/data/english-stop-words-large.txt
For this project, preprocessing was a much less straightforward step than the collocate/concordance project from Fall 2017. Most of the preprocessing was done by myself [Scott Caddy] via SublimeText. Segmenting of items in the corpus was done via the TopicModelingTool settings. What I have here is a step-by-step process attempted over several weeks as I learned more about the TopicModelingTool, topic modeling, and how to interpret the results.
A large part of my preprocessing came from doing topic modeling "runs" and modying my stopword list according to results. Hopefully, this component can show how I continued to hone preprocessing, based on feedback from my peers, instructor, and reading papers on topic modeling

Mary Wollstonecraft and Influence - Raw Data: Corpus
No full textThis component contains the set of texts used for this topic modeling project. There is a .zip drive to download, plus a Google Drive folder to browse individual files.
Corpus selection was determined by proximity of publication to Wollstonecraft's life and death (in 1797). Originally focused on British women writers, selection criteria was broadened to test more closely for influence. Male authors, a handful of texts published before Wollstonecraft's life, and late Victorian novels were added prior to the first "test" run on April 5, 2018.
Date range of Corpus: 1752 (Charlotte Lennox - Female Quixote) to 1897 (Bram Stoker - Dracula).
Many thanks to the Gutenberg Project (www.gutenberg.org) for making all of these texts free and open to the public
Replication Data for: A Paradox of Political Reform: Shadow Interests in the U.S. States
No full textLaws that restrict and disclose the actions of lobbyists are attempts to protect elected officials from undue influence and preserve public trust in lawmaking processes. Imposing too many campaign finance restrictions and reporting requirements on registered interest groups, however, might discourage them from registering. I use an original data set compiled from several decades of lobbyist lists to determine whether these laws suppress registration rates among interest groups. More limits on campaign finance activities, but not heavier reporting burdens, are shown to be associated with depressed registration of interest groups. As unregistered interests are not subject to these regulations, this presents a paradox of political reform. Reformers can either restrict the campaign finance activities of organized interests or disclose their lobbying activities more fully, but not both. I provide estimated totals of registered interest groups given a set of laws that maximizes compliance
Mary Wollstonecraft and Influence - Early Work: CDH 580 Fall 2017
No full textThis component contains pertinent files, papers, and software used for a project in Fall 2017 for CDH 580. The project here (a collocate / concordance analysis) helped inspire the research question and topic modeling method used for Spring 2018's CDH 593 course
Replication Data for: A Quiet Revolution in State Lobbying: Government Growth and Interest Populations
No full textWhat explains contemporary numbers of interest groups in America? To answer this question and help address conflicting narratives in research, I examine the rise of interest groups in the states. Assembling an original data set based on archival and secondary sources, I find that relatively few groups lobbied legislators prior to the 1960s or 1970s. During those decades, numbers of interest groups began to grow rapidly. I find that increases in lawmaking activities present inconsistent effects on the political mobilization of groups but increases in spending are strongly correlated with mobilization. In additional tests, I find that the effects of spending on group numbers vary by state and are not discernible in most states. In general, a historic transformation of state governments helps to account for the growth of state lobbying. Interest groups have remained active in state capitols ever since
