Nepal Energy Gardens Qualitative Dataset and Quantitative Survey Dataset
Get PDFBiofuels and biomass are important sources of renewable energy, yet implementation of bioenergy programmes has attracted considerable controversy for displacing food production, land-grabbing, loss of biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions. Creation of large industrial biomass and biofuel production has an important role to play in sustainable energy provision, but the real strengths of using plants for energy is that they can be grown in a wide variety of situations and thousands of different species can be used. These datasets present household survey data and qualitative data- focus group discussions and key informant interviews carried out in three rural villages in mid-hills, Nepal to investigate the possible to establish community-based biofuel production, thereby overcoming environmental and social concerns about biofuels. A stratified random sampling procedure was used to sample the households for quantitative data to ensure that its representative of the villages where research was conducted. The research participants were drawn from different landholding categories, castes, gender and local development experts to obtain views of different section of the community in three project villages viz. Hamsapur (Gorkha), Lakuri Danda (Dolakha) and Khudi (Lamjung) in the mid-hills region of Nepal. Data collected through qualitative research complements those quantitative data collected through household survey. The qualitative research covered aspects such as forest status, local institutions for forests and biomass uses, communal and social capital, and various issues pertinent to local development and how experience from those can be utilised for community-based biofuel projects such as energy gardens. Data generated through qualitative methods will help to explain the differences in the level of fuel consumption, determining local fuel demand and supply and other local level institutions necessary for creation of energy gardens project
Integrated on-chip THz sensors for fluidic systems fabricated using flexible polyimide films
No full textWe investigate the use of an on-chip terahertz (THz) frequency sensor formed on a flexible, thin-film polyimide substrate to measure the properties of liquids encapsulated in a glass-walled capillary. We observe changes in the attenuation and velocity of the time-domain THz signal, which allows extraction of the broadband THz refractive index and relative attenuation coefficients of the liquid. The technique is used for sensing members of a homologous series of primary alcohols, and the results compared with those obtained from a free-space THz-TDS system
CASPT2015: Train unit scheduling with bi-level capacity requirements
No full textThis dataset is used for storing relevant data for the paper "Train unit scheduling with bi-level capacity requirements" to be presented in Conference on Advanced Systems in Public Transport (CASPT) 19-23 July 2015. Information on the trains served by class 334 units from the December 2011 ScotRail timetable as the input data for our experiments is provided, whose attributes include: headcode, departure time, operational day, origin, destination, arrival time and historic capacity provision in terms of number of units. The passenger count survey (PAX) data is not included for confidentiality reasons
Dataset relating to 'PDielec: The Calculation of Infrared and Terahertz Absorption for Powdered Crystals'
No full textThis data set includes ASCII data for all figures described in the paper entitled PDielec: The Calculation of Infrared and Terahertz Absorption for Powdered Crystals. All data was generated using the PDielec package. The Python package PDielec calculates the infrared absorption characteristics of a crystalline material supported in a non absorbing medium. PDielec post processes solid state quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical calculations of the phonons and dielectric response of the crystalline material. The package calculates the internal electric field arising from different particle morphologies and calculates the resulting shift in absorption frequency and intensity arising from the coupling between a phonon and the internal field. The theory of the approach is described, followed by a description of the implementation within PDielec. Finally a section providing several examples of its application is given
Spin relaxation through Kondo scattering in Cu/Py lateral spin valves.
No full textRaw and processed data for the temperature dependence of the spin diffusion length in lateral spin valves measurements of Py/Cu/Py spin valves fabricated with different purities of Cu. Including extracted spin
diffusion length which shows a suppression below 30K only in the presence of the Kondo effect. The processed data calculates the spin-relaxation rate and isolates the contributions from magnetic impurities.
The spin-flip probability of a magnetic impurity is 34%
