Data to support the research article: “A planar surface acoustic wave micropump for closed-loop microfluidics”
Get PDFWe have designed and characterized a simple Rayleigh-surface acoustic wave-based micropump, integrated directly with a fully enclosed 3D microfluidic system, which improves significantly the pumping efficiency within a coupled fluid whilst maintaining planar integration of the micropump and microfluidics. We achieve this by exploiting the Rayleigh-scattering angle of surface acoustic waves into pressure waves on contact with overlaid fluids, by designing a microfluidic channel aligned almost co-linearly with the launched pressure waves, and by minimizing energy-losses by reflections from, or absorption within, the channel walls. This allows the microfluidic system to remain fully enclosed – a pre-requisite for point-of-care applications – removing sources of possible contamination, whilst achieving pressure gradients up to several orders of magnitude higher than previously reported, at low operating powers of 0.5 W

Data associated with ‘Sensorimotor control dynamics and cultural biases’
No full textThe data are kinematic measures of motor control asymmetries in 69 adults and 140 children (aged 5-6 years) from Britain and Kuwait. Data are provided on age (adult/child); nationality (British/Kuwaiti), gender (male/female); handedness (right-handed/left-handed); and task performance (tracing error score (mm) on a tracing task, where participants completed the task both in the left-to-right direction, and the right-to-left direction)

Dataset associated with Framing Climate Uncertainty: Frame Choices Reveal and Influence Climate Change Beliefs.
Get PDFDataset description. We investigated in two pre-registered studies (1) how ‘communicators’ verbally frame a confidence interval regarding projected change in winter precipitation due to climate change (N = 512, speakers2.RData). We assessed this by asking study participants to choose one of two different verbal frames for communicating the above projection (a ‘concerned’ compared to an ‘unconcerned’ frame). Using a five-item scale, we measured their perceived severity of consequences of this projection (including health, financial and property losses and one general severity item) as main predictor, and environmental values (New Ecological Paradigm-scale by Dunlap et al., 2000), political affiliation (7-point scale ranging from ‘strong democrat’ to ‘strong republican’), levels of numeracy (using the adaptive version of the Berlin Numeracy Test, BNT, Cokely et al., 2012), age, gender, and levels of education. We studied further (2) how ‘listeners’ interpret the two different verbal frames (N = 385, listener2.RData). Listeners were randomly allocated to two different experimental groups. As main dependent variable, we measured their perceived severity of consequences of precipitation change, and as covariates environmental values, levels of numeracy, and demographic variables, all as described for study 1. Samples for both studies were recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk in spring 2017. Answers of participants were collected using the survey software Unipark. Both studies were preregistered at the Open Science Framework, and all materials and measures used can be found at osf.io/3tr4h.
