Data associated with 'On-chip preparation of nanoscale contrast agents toward high-resolution ultrasound imaging'
No full textThis data set supports images and graphs in a the manuscript listed above. In brief: a new microfluidic method for the generation of sub-micron sized lipid stabilised particles containing perfluorocarbon (PFC). The nanoparticles are produced in a unique atomisation-like flow regime at high production rates, in excess of 106 particles / s and at high concentration, typically > 1011 particles / mL. The average particle diameter appears to be around 100-200 nm. These particles, suspected of being a mix of liquid and gaseous C4F10 due to Laplace pressure, then phase convert into nanometer sized bubbles on the application of US. In vitro ultrasound characterisation from these nanoparticle populations showed strong backscattering compared to aqueous filled liposomes of a similar size. The nanoparticles were stable upon injection and gave excellent contrast enhancement when used for in vivo imaging, compared to microbubbles with an equivalent shell composition
Finite element model for the modular total hip replacements: investigation of edge loading during daily activities
No full textThe dataset was created as supplementary materials for the paper "The contact mechanics and occurrence of edge loading in modular metal-on-polyethylene total hip replacement during daily activities". The dataset included the following documentation and data: the predicted results from the FE model; the FE models for the total hip replacements; the solid models of the components for the FE models
Dataset for 'Strain-Relief by Single Dislocation Loops in Calcite Crystals Grown on Self-Assembled Monolayers'
Get PDFMost of our knowledge of dislocation mediated stress relaxation during epitaxial crystal growth comes from the study of inorganic heterostructures. Here, we use Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging to investigate a contrasting system, the epitaxial growth of calcite (CaCO3) crystals on organic self-assembled monolayers, where these are widely used as a model for biomineralization processes. The calcite crystals are imaged to simultaneously visualise the crystal morphology and internal strain fields. Our data reveal that each crystal possesses a single dislocation loop that occupies a common position in every crystal. The loops exhibit entirely different geometries to misfit dislocations generated in conventional epitaxial thin films and are suggested to form in response to the stress field arising from interfacial defects and the nanoscale r oughness of the substrate. This work provides unique insight into how self-assembled monolayers control the growth of inorganic crystals and demonstrates important differences as compared with inorganic substrates
Data associated with 'Second-harmonic generation and the influence of flexoelectricity in the nematic phases of bent-core oxadiazoles'
No full textThis dataset contains the data referred to in the paper “Second-harmonic generation and the influence of flexoelectricity in the nematic phases of bent-core oxadiazoles”. It consists of experimental data for the second harmonic intensity, measured as a function of temperature and scattering angle, generated by nematic bent-core oxadiazole liquid crystals, calculated data for the second harmonic intensity and calculated data for the flexoelectric coefficients of these materials
Dataset associated with 'Observation of Compositional Domains Within Individual Copper Indium Sulfide Quantum Dots'
No full textThese data were used in the preparation of the manuscript entitled “Observation of Compositional Domains within Individual Copper Indium Sulfide Quantum Dots”. The dataset contains EELS maps for a number of CIS (Copper Indium Sulfide) core and CIS/ZnS (zinc sulphide) core/shell quantum dots (Qdots), which show spatial segregation of Cu and In. Data for particles that are included in the manuscript is included along with data for particles that did not. The dataset also includes further characterisation data including X-ray diffraction spectra, used to identify the crystal structure of the Qdots, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data used to measure the relative proportions of Cu and In in the particles. “Survey” TEM images of large numbers are also included, along with photoluminescence spectra of each of the Qdot samples
Dataset for Rapid-Screening of Calcium Carbonate Precipitation in the Presence of Amino Acids.
Get PDFData aquired using high-throughput sample preparation methods and rapid-screening characterisation methodology for the study of calcite single crystals precipitated in the presence of amino acids. Analysis includes kinetics, shape, structure and composition data in the form of SEM, pXRD, Raman microscopy, turbidimetry and fluorimetry
Aggregated fluvial flood hazard output for six Global Flood Models for the African Continent.
No full textThis dataset is the output from the Global Flood Model intercomparison project undertaken on behalf of the Global Flood Partnership. The methodology is described in Trigg et. al. 2016, "The credibility challenge for global fluvial flood risk analysis", published in the Environmental Research Letters Journal. Please cite this paper for all uses of the data.The data is composed of aggregated data for 5 return periods (1 in 25, 100, 250 and 1000 year) from 6 global flood hazard models: CaMa-UT, GLOFRIS, ECMWF, JRC, SSBN, and CIMA-UNEP. All the models simulate, for a given probability flow, how water that is excess to river channel capacity inundates the surrounding floodplain topography. There are 5 files, one for each return period. Each file is a geospatial, WGS84, 1/1200 decimal degrees resolution (~90m) GeoTIFF raster with a classified integer value representing how many out of the 6 models agree that a cell is wet (note 0 - dry/no data)
