Alboom is a crowd-based smartphone application and database system to record, store, analyze, share, and provide early warning information regarding harmful algal blooms (HABs). Similar to other participatory-based applications, the willingness of community members to be actively involved is paramount to the success of the application implementation. The dataset is the investigation results of usability and acceptance of Alboom. The questionnaires were built using an augmented technology acceptance model (TAM) to identify factors that affect the continual use intention of the application.

Several works attempted to establish procedures to individuate bugs, defects or anomalies during the different phases of software development, especially in the implementation phase. The mere detection of anomalies is not sufficient, though, at least until they get fixed. Corrective actions can be formulated to remove anomalies and enhance the software quality. Preventive actions are equally important in as much as they avoid the emergence and recurrence of anomalies in the future.

This platform is bio-inspired musculoskeletal robot, which contains biological muscular dynamics and brain-inspired control methods.

Quantum volume (QV) has become the de-facto standard benchmark to quantify the capability of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. While QV values are often reported by NISQ providers for their systems, we perform our own series of QV calculations on 24 NISQ devices currently offered by IBM~Q, IonQ, Rigetti, Oxford Quantum Circuits, and Quantinuum (formerly Honeywell). Our approach characterizes the performances that an advanced user of these NISQ devices can expect to achieve with a reasonable amount of optimization, but without white-box access to the device.
