# Reproducibility package
This archive contains the R code and generated numerical outputs supportingthe manuscript:
> Dinesh Kumar and Sudesh K. Srivastav, > *Uniform-Spacing Contraction Bounds for Randomized Interval Bracketing.*
The manuscript studies randomized bracket-preserving interval updates forderivative-free scalar root finding. At each update, uniformly sampledinterior points induce an order-statistic spacing partition of the currentbracket. Under continuity, strict monotonicity, a valid initial sign-changingbracket, and exact sign evaluations, the selected interval is almost surelythe adjacent order-statistic spacing containing the root.
The archive supports the manuscript's numerical experiments and resourceanalyses, including pooled and per-function summaries, evaluation-countaudits, finite-worker evaluation-wave calculations, manuscript tables, andfigures.
## Contents
- `ric_bit_final.R` The authoritative manuscript-matched program for the main numerical study. It runs the exact-evaluation randomized interval-contraction simulations, deterministic benchmark comparisons, pooled and per-function summaries, evaluation-count audits, finite-worker wave calculations, and generation of manuscript tables and figures.
- `noisy_experiment.R` Program for the manuscript's exploratory noisy-evaluation experiment. This script supports the noisy-study result reported in Table 8. It is separate from the main exact-evaluation program because observation noise can alter signs and therefore falls outside the assumptions used in the formal analysis.
- `output_bit_final/` Output directory generated by `ric_bit_final.R`. It contains raw simulation paths, tolerance summaries, evaluation-count audits, CSV summaries, generated LaTeX table rows, and PDF figures supporting the main exact-sign monotone numerical study.
- `output_noisy/` Output directory generated by `noisy_experiment.R`. It contains `noisy_experiment_raw_results.csv` and `table_noisy_performance.csv`, which support the exploratory results in Table 8.
- `README.md` Instructions for installing dependencies, running the programs, and interpreting the outputs.
- `CITATION.cff` Machine-readable citation metadata for this reproducibility package.
- `LICENSE` The license governing reuse of the code and archive contents.
## Requirements
The programs were written for R. The package requirements are declared nearthe beginning of each script. The main program requires:
```rdplyrtidyrpurrrggplot2readrgridExtra```
Install any missing R package with:
```rinstall.packages("package_name")```
For example:
```rinstall.packages("dplyr")```
## Main reproduction
Run the authoritative exact-evaluation program from the directory containing`ric_bit_final.R`:
```rsource("ric_bit_final.R")```
The script creates `output_bit_final/` and its subdirectories automatically.It uses fixed pseudo-random seeds to make the Monte Carlo simulationsreproducible.
The main study evaluates randomized interval contraction for:
```textm = 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50```
across five continuous, strictly monotone test functions. The default designuses 1,000 replications per test function and value of \(m\), aninterval-width tolerance of \(10^{-8}\), and a maximum of 100 iterations.
The script also produces reference results for bisection, secant iteration,and R's `uniroot` implementation.
## Main outputs
The main script writes, among other files:
```textoutput_bit_final/raw/ric_all_paths.csvoutput_bit_final/raw/ric_tolerance_summaries.csvoutput_bit_final/raw/ric_evaluation_audit.csv
output_bit_final/tables/ric_pooled_scaling_summary.csvoutput_bit_final/tables/ric_per_function_summary.csvoutput_bit_final/tables/ric_finite_worker_wave_table.csvoutput_bit_final/tables/table4_scaling_rows.texoutput_bit_final/tables/table5_wave_rows.texoutput_bit_final/tables/table6_rows.texoutput_bit_final/tables/table7_rows.texoutput_bit_final/tables/figure2_scaling_with_Bm_data.csv
output_bit_final/figures/figure_scaling_m_pooled.pdfoutput_bit_final/figures/figure_scaling_m_pooled.pngoutput_bit_final/figures/figure_avg_interval_length.pdfoutput_bit_final/figures/figure_avg_root_error.pdfoutput_bit_final/figures/figure_efficiency_frontier.pdf```
The data underlying the pooled scaling figure include the empirical pooledcontraction estimate \(\widehat{\rho}_m\) and the maximal-spacing benchmark:
\[B_m = \frac{H_{m+1}}{m+1},\]
where \(H_{m+1}\) is the \((m+1)\)-st harmonic number.
## Evaluation-count convention
For RIC-\(m\) runs, the two initial endpoint function values are evaluatedonce and cached. Each subsequent iteration evaluates exactly \(m\) newinterior points. The main program verifies, for every simulated path, theidentity:
\[N_{\mathrm{feval}} = 2 + mN_{\mathrm{iter}}.\]
The script stops with an error if this invariant fails. Midpoint residuals arenot separately evaluated in the main RIC simulations, so they do not inflatethe reported function-evaluation totals. Reported mean RIC evaluation countssatisfy the corresponding identity up to displayed rounding.
## Noisy experiment
Run the exploratory noisy-evaluation study separately:
```rsource("noisy_experiment.R")```
This script writes results to `output_noisy/`. It is included to reproduce themanuscript's noisy-evaluation illustration, including Table 8 whereapplicable.
## Scope
The theorem-backed analysis in the manuscript assumes:
- a continuous, strictly monotone function;- a valid initial sign-changing bracket; and- exact sign evaluations.
Accordingly, `ric_bit_final.R` is the authoritative reproduction program forthe main theorem-aligned numerical results.
The noisy-evaluation experiment represented by `noisy_experiment.R` isexploratory: noise can change observed signs, and the formal exact-signtheory does not supply a root-preservation guarantee, a bracket-preservationguarantee, or a controlled head-to-head efficiency guarantee in that setting.

This dataset accompanies the manuscript "An operational river-stage forecasting system using spatiotemporal graph neural network (ST-GNN) in Ascension Parish, Louisiana", prepared for submission to Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS). It provides the evaluation data for a 68-gauge forecasting network comprising 51 scored in-parish gauges and 17 supporting boundary gauges.
The paired forecast and observed stage series cover 5,832 hourly forecast origins from 1 January to 31 August 2026, with 96 lead steps at 15-minute intervals over a 24-hour horizon. The evaluated ST-GNN, GRU, and LSTM use final weights fitted to eligible data through 31 December 2025 and frozen during the 2026 evaluation, with three training seeds (101, 202, and 303). Model columns contain the P80 forecasts scored in the study; persistence is included as a benchmark. The event-only subset comprises 927 origins when at least one parish pump was running at issue time.
Three compressed CSV files provide the observed-rainfall hindcast, the retrospective simulated operational forecast using issue-time HRRR rainfall and operational postprocessing, and the ST-GNN rainfall-forcing comparison without postprocessing. The deposit also includes the gauge inventory; graph definitions for final fitting, chronological epoch selection, and gauge-network sensitivity; per-gauge evaluation metrics; full-precision inputs for paired bootstrap uncertainty analysis; archived rainfall forcings; and figure inputs. Directory contents are packaged in the corresponding RAR archives. README.md describes file schemas, scoring and aggregation rules, and the mapping to the manuscript results. FILE_MANIFEST.csv and public_source_manifest.csv document file integrity and public input sources.
Stages are expressed in metres and the paired CSV values are rounded to 0.1 mm. Observed stages are masked for missing or stale gauge readings under the documented screening rule. The deposit supports evaluation reproducibility; the complete feature-engineered training matrix is not included. Internal Ascension Parish Government HEC-RAS terrain, simulated water-surface, and mesh files are not redistributed, although their derived graphs are included. Public hydrologic and meteorological inputs are documented by retrieval source; rainfall forecasts are included as used.
The companion code and trained-weight record is on github https://github.com/awesomemfg/River_ST_GNN_Forecast. It contains the data preparation, graph construction, chronological training, inference, postprocessing, and evaluation workflow.

The dynamics of digital transformation require vocational educational institutions, particularly office administration education programs, to continuously update their curricula to produce graduates who possess both technological proficiency and high moral integrity. To support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially regarding quality education (SDG 4) and decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), this study analyzes the implementation of digital-based learning models and literacy enhancement aligned with Islamic work ethics. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach utilizing literature review methods, the findings indicate that the utilization of digital learning facilities significantly boosts students' technical competencies and work readiness (Handarini & Wulandari, 2020; Lasmini et al., 2023). Nevertheless, such technological mastery must be balanced with the internalization of prophetic values to ensure that professional ethics and character are maintained in the modern era (Yustika & Iswati, 2020). Overall, this study offers a framework for office administration learning development that is adaptive to technological innovation, oriented toward sustainable development, and firmly rooted in Islamic values.

Education is a process which revolves around teacher, student and curriculum where teacher has to play a very important role. The content and techniques of teaching depend to a great extent on what we want to achieve. With the changing scenario of education, it is supposed to find ways and means to improve the teaching techniques to cope with the need of the times. Technology benefited us in every aspect of life from communication to education. The new revolutionary programme in school education system “smart class” has changed the concept of learning. It is an innovative technology that has aimed to revolutionize the way of teaching learning process. Smart classroom learning scale by constructed and standardized by Senthilraja and Pandian (2021) The SPSS Program was used to analyze the data that were obtained from the study. Smart classroom schools have randomly selected by the investigator in the same district and the size of the sample is 300 standard IX and X rural school students from high schools.The result of the study showed, there is significant difference in smart classroom learning in rural students in terms of gender, and medium of instruction. Further the result of the study showed, there is no significant difference in smart classroom learning in rural students in terms of location of student, type of school, father’s education, mother’s education, parents occupation and type of family.
