AHP perceptions of research in the United Kingdom National Health Service: a survey of research capacity and cultures: A UK-wide Survey of NHS healthcare and social care staff in the UK
No full textDataset from survey participants in a study of Allied Health Professionals' perceptions of research capacity and culture in the NHS across the UK. The dataset excludes data from participants who did not provide consent to open sharing of their anonymised data. This dataset therefore comprises data from 3276 of the 3344 survey participants

A factorial randomised trial investigating factors influencing general practitioners’ willingness to prescribe aspirin for cancer preventive therapy in Lynch syndrome: a registered report
No full textWe investigated the optimal type and level of information to communicate with GPs to increase willingness to prescribe aspirin for colorectal cancer prevention. We recruited GPs in England and Wales (n=672) to an online survey with a 2 by 3 factorial design. GPs were randomised to one of eight vignettes describing a hypothetical patient with Lynch syndrome recommended to take aspirin by a clinical geneticist. Across the vignettes, we manipulated the presence or absence of three types of information: 1) existence of NICE guidance; 2) results from the CAPP2 trial; 3) information comparing risks/benefits of aspirin. We estimated the main effects and all interactions on the primary (willingness to prescribe) and secondary outcomes (comfort discussing aspirin)
Dataset for ‘Serial Small- and Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering with Laboratory Sources’
No full textThis dataset contains measurements used in the paper, ‘Serial Small- and Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering with Laboratory Sources' from the journal, IUCrJ (doi: 10.1107/S2052252522007631). Included are the raw SAXS, WAXS, and XRD patterns used in the evaluation of different samples, sample environments, and X-ray scattering instruments. From these data, the authors determined that it is feasible to perform serial SAXS/WAXS analysis of materials using laboratory X-ray sources with the aid of micro- and milli-fluidic sample environments
Data for "The effect of oil on cellulose dissolution in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium acetate"
No full textWhilst ionic liquids (ILs) are well known to be excellent solvents for cellulose, the exact mechanism of dissolution has been a much-disputed topic in recent years and is still not completely clear. In this work, we add to current understanding and highlight the importance of hydrophobic interactions, through studying cellulose dissolution in mixtures of 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium acetate (BmimAc) and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil. We demonstrate that the order in which constituents are mixed together plays a key role, through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic analysis. When small quantities of MCT-oil (0.25-1 wt.%) were introduced to BmimAc before cellulose, the effect on BmimAc chemical shift values was much more significant compared to when the cellulose was dissolved first, followed by oil addition. Rheological analysis also showed small differences in the viscosities of oil-cellulose-BmimAc solution viscosities, depending on the order that the constituents were added. On the other hand, no such order effect on the NMR results was observed when cellulose was replaced with cellobiose, suggesting that this observation is unique to the macromolecule. We propose that a cellulose-oil interaction develops, but only when the cellulose structure has a sufficient degree of order and not when the cellulose is molecularly dispersed, since the hydrophobic cellulose plane is no longer intact. In all cases, cellulose-BmimAc-oil solutions were stable for at least 4 months. To our knowledge, this is the first work that investigates the effect of oil addition on the dissolving capacity of BmimAc and highlights the need for further re-evaluation of accepted mechanisms for cellulose dissolution in ILs
Pyrolysis Activation Energy of Cellulosic Fibres Investigated by A Method Derived from The First Order Global Model
No full textThe pyrolysis kinetics of cellulosic fibres, a natural cotton yarn (NCY) and a mercerized cotton yarn (MCY), has been explored with a modified first order global analysis method (FOG), via a series of non-isothermal experiments, using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The modified FOG analysis routine was developed to overcome discrepancy in heating rate and difference between exact results and approximations in integrals. The intrinsic pyrolysis activation energy, with temperature range tending to zero, was found to be independent of heating rate and approximation used, giving average values of 153 ± 2 kJ/mol for NCY and 192 ± 7 kJ/mol for MCY. This proves the applicability of the reported analysis routine under the conducted TGA measurements. The reasons for different values were hypothesized to be the difference in chemical composition and crystalline structure. The findings provide a new approach in the investigation on pyrolysis kinetics of biomass and factors impacting their pyrolytic behaviour
