Data associated with 'Emissions from residential energy use dominate exposure to ambient fine particulate matter in India'
Here we use a regional numerical weather prediction model online-coupled with chemistry, evaluated against extensive surface observations, to make the first high resolution study of the impacts of source contributions on ambient PM2.5 and human health in India

Data associated with “Quantum principle of sensing gravitational waves: From the zero-point fluctuations to the cosmological stochastic background of spacetime”
We carry out a theoretical investigation on the collective dynamics of an ensemble of correlated atoms, subject to both vacuum fluctuations of spacetime and stochastic gravitational waves. A general approach is taken with the derivation of a quantum master equation capable of describing arbitrary confined nonrelativistic matter systems in an open quantum gravitational environment. It enables us to relate the spectral function for gravitational waves and the distribution function for quantum gravitational fluctuations and to indeed introduce a new spectral function for the zero-point fluctuations of spacetime. The formulation is applied to two-level Rydberg-like identical bosonic atoms in a cavity, leading to a gravitational transition mechanism through certain quadrupole moment operators. For a large number N of such atoms, we find their equilibrium state to satisfy the Boltzmann distribution. The overall relaxation rate before reaching equilibrium is found to scale collectively with N. However, we are able to identify certain states whose decay and excitation rates with stochastic gravitational waves and vacuum spacetime fluctuations amplify more significantly with a factor of N2. Using such favourable states as a means of measuring both conventional stochastic gravitational waves and novel zero-point spacetime fluctuations, we determine the theoretical lower bounds for the respective spectral functions. Finally, we discuss the implications of our findings on future observations of gravitational waves of a wider spectral window than currently accessible. Especially, the possible sensing of the zero-point fluctuations of spacetime could provide an opportunity to generate initial evidence and further guidance of quantum gravity
Dataset associated with 'Bimanual Reach to Grasp Movement After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury'
Using kinematic analysis and Visual 3D software we calculated temporal and spatial variables regarding how people with a cervical spinal cord injury reach and grasp objects using one hand and two hands simultaneously compared to younger and older adults. Participants with a cSCI produced reach-to-grasp actions which took longer, were slower, and had longer deceleration phases than uninjured participants. These differences were exacerbated during bimanual reach-to-grasp tasks. Maximal grasp aperture was no different between groups, but reached earlier by people with cSCI. Participants with a cSCI were less synchronous than younger and older adults but all groups used the deceleration phase for error correction to end the movement in a synchronous fashion
Dataset associated with 'Homochiral self-sorted and emissive Ir(III) metallo-cryptophanes.'
Self-assembly of [Ir(ppy)L2] metallo-cages where ppy = 2-phenylpyridinato and L = (±)-tris(isonicotinoyl)-cyclotriguaiacylene, or (±)-tris(4-pyridyl-methyl)-cyclotriguaiacylene, with structural and spectroscopy characterisation including emissive properties
Data supporting "The effects of irradiation dose and storage time following treatment on the viscoelastic properties of decellularised porcine super flexor tendon".
Experimental biomechanical data from stress-relaxation tests for all sterilisation groups tested at two time points, 0 and 12 months. This data was then fitted to a Maxwell-Weichert Model to obtain quantitative viscoelastic parameters. A spreadsheet containing charts and summary tables of these viscoelastic parameters is also included
MATLAB code for the analysis of proton transport activity in single liposomes.
The code is adapted from the code the authors used to generate the data published in the associated papers. Minor improvements and bug fix have been added since the publication in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The shared code does not contain all the code the authors used, but forms the basis of the data analysis. The code is for fitting the time-resolved data (traces) of individual lipid vesicles with the method detailed in the paper. The code for getting the traces from the imaging data is not shared because it is specifically designed for the experimental set-up, but has been described in detail in the paper. Similar functions are available in many other softwares

Influence of anion size on the properties of imidazolium-based ionic liquids.
NMR self-diffusion and relaxation, coupled with viscosity, were used to study the properties and structure of two imidazolium-based ionic liquids, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [C2MIM][OAc]and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium octanoate [C2MIM][OOct]. The experimental results point to the formation of different types of aggregates in each ionic liquid. These aggregates are small and stable under flow and temperature in [C2MIM][OAc], whereas the aggregates are large and sensitive to flow and temperature in [C2MIM][OOct]. In the latter case the size of aggregates decreases both under flow and increase in temperature
