Networked digital score presented in collaboration with UC Santa Barbara and Beijing Conservatory of Music
No full textNetronomia uses the Netronome, a networked metronome developed at UCSB by Ethan Cayko, to create a multi-city rhythmic work. It addresses the challenge of synchronising performers across different locations with varying latencies, making rhythmic accuracy difficult without adjustment. The Netronome facilitates calibration of timing relationships, enabling musicians to play together despite being physically apart. The Netronome introduces rhythmic offsets due to latency, resulting in performers experiencing different rhythmic versions of the same music. The Netronome challenges traditional notions of musical scores by materially structuring the temporal space between performers. Unlike traditional scores, it not only provides instructions for sound production but also regulates temporal relationships among performers. This feature could empower composers to craft desired rhythmic units and give musicians control over their performances, mitigating the impact of network latency on intentionality
A cross-cultural comparison of change detection in driving and non-driving scenes
No full textThe aim of the research was to compare change detection in driving and non-driving tasks between participants from the UK and Malaysia. Data presented are from two studies, both of which were conducted online. In study 1 participants were presented with driving related stimuli, whereas Study 2 involved participants being presented with driving and non-driving stimuli
Experimental Data on Emulsion Stability in Gravity and Simulated Microgravity
No full textThe data set contains recorded average particle size (z-average), particle size distributions, and dispersity indices (both obtained via dynamic light scattering) of nanoemulsions that were generated by different batch and continuous micro-flow processes, stored at varying lengths at room temperature in gravity, and were exposed to different motion modes from a Random Positioning Machine that simulates microgravity. Outliers have been removed.
Data has been generated at the University of Adelaide (Volker Hessel Research Group, School of Chemical Engineering, Andy Thomas Centre for Space Resources, Plants for Space Centre for Excellence) and collaboratively analysed as per the jointly-awarded PhD program with the University of Nottingham
Functional Interleukin-4 releasing microparticles impact THP-1 differentiated macrophage phenotype
No full textMacrophage cell therapies offer potential treatment in inflammatory diseases due to their ability to mobilize and stimulate their environment. However, successful treatment requires a pro-regenerative macrophage phenotype to be retained in vivo. Polymeric microparticles may provide a potential route to direct and sustain macrophage phenotype. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is the most commonly used cytokine for in vitro modulation towards M2a macrophage phenotype. We designed IL-4 encapsulated microparticles to investigate the impact of drug release kinetics and developed a robust THP-1 in vitro assay to assess functional IL-4 release upon macrophage phenotype. Microparticles, fabricated from PLGA and a PLGA-PEG-PLGA triblock copolymer were encapsulated with IL-4 and human serum albumin (HSA) for sustained release. IL-4 release kinetics fit with the first-order release kinetics model, indicating concentration dependent release. IL-4/HSA encapsulated microparticles modulated human peripheral blood monocyte cell (THP-1) differentiated macrophages towards pro immunoregulatory subgroups. This strategy provides a novel approach in drug carrier development for in vitro assessments of macrophage phenotype to inform development of targeted therapies for inflammation and immune modulation
Experimental Data for Conference Proceedings: Generation of O/W nanoemulsions via spontaneous emulsification in self-assembly, macrofluidics, and microfluidics to produce fortified beverages for astronauts
No full textThe data set consists of average droplet size measurements of emulsions generated by either (1) self-assembly (i.e., solvent-free variant of spontaneous emulsification) only; (2) self-assembly in combination with small-scale batch process (approx. 5 ml, in a stirred beaker); (3) self-assembly in combination with medium-scale batch process (approx. 100 ml, burette/beaker setup); (4) self-assembly in combination with a single-contact continuous, microfluidic process (T-mixer); (5) self-assembly in combination with a multi-contact continuous, microfluidic process (Corning Low-Flow reactor). Additionally, for process (1-3), relative oil content was varied at constant surfactant-to-oil ratio (SOR) and average droplet size determined
Night Office for the Eve of All Saints (Medieval York Use): Service Orders used for a Medieval Enactment at Southwell Minster on Thursday 31 October 2024
No full textThis deposit consists of three service orders and a supporting document that contributed to the collaborative enactment of a medieval 'Night Office' liturgy at Southwell Minster, Nottinghamshire, on Thursday 31 October 2024, at 8pm. Based upon primary research from the project 'Music in the Shadows: Staging Medieval Night Worship, 800-1300', the service was co-created by the named researchers together with clergy, musicians, and staff from Southwell Minster. The liturgy was the Night Office for the feast of All Saints, as it might have been performed at Southwell on this very evening (late on 31 October, or early on 1 November) in the later Middle Ages.
As a collegiate church within the province of York, Southwell would have followed the secular nine-lesson form of the Night Office according to the Use of York Minster. The readings, drawn from the anonymous Carolingian sermons 'Legimus in ecclesiasticis' and 'Hodie dilectissimi', followed the fifteenth-century York lectionary GB-Ob Gough. liturg. 1. The chant texts and melodies, hymn, and versicles were transcribed from GB-Llp Sion College Ms. L.1, a noted York breviary from the fourteenth or fifteenth century. The rubrics were based upon those in the fifteenth-century Arundel Castle Antiphonal (olim Everingham Breviary), from the Chapel of St Mary and the Holy Angels, York, supplemented by rubrics from Salisbury and Exeter. The polyphony for the eighth responsory, 'Audivi vocem', was transcribed from GB-Cmc Ms. 1236 (the Pepys Manuscript), associated with the Almonry School of Canterbury Cathedral. The collect and Benedicamus melody were drawn from the Customary of St Mary's, York, now GB-Cjc Ms. 102 (D.27) .
All texts were translated from their original Latin into English, except where this would do injury to the music, i.e. the liturgical chants. The rationale for these and other liturgical choices will be explored in a future publication, in which the researchers reflect on the intellectual contribution of the medieval enactments accomplished during the research project.
The orders of service were assembled with the assistance of Dr Peter Siepmann (music typesetting), whose work is published here with permission. Because permission was not obtained to reproduce the edition of the polyphonic music on pages 28-29 of the 'Choir booklet' document, this element has been removed from the deposit. Dr Fraser McNair is the author of the English translations of the readings.
Contents:
1) Readers' booklet - used at the lectern
2) Choir booklet - used by the singers
3) Congregation booklet - used by all other attendees

Data from "Mind the Gap! Navigating ADHD and Trauma Support Services"
No full textAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and trauma often cooccur and trauma symptoms are tricky to unpick from ADHD traits. This can lead to misunderstanding of a person’s presentation, misdiagnosis and missed opportunity for support. This is exacerbated by the separation of UK support pathways for ADHD and trauma. This study aimed to explore the experiences of adults with co-existing ADHD and trauma in accessing support and identify whether ADHD diagnosis influences subsequent access to trauma related support, and vice versa
Installation Performance Queer Temporal
No full textThis digital score installation-performance delves into the disruptive nature of time on queer individuals, exploring themes of control, precarity, obstacles, and loss through repetition, entropy, and exaggerated sonic elements. Collaborative methods are utilised for performers to explore temporal continuity and discontinuity, drawing from sources like military and gay liberation marches. The piece employs randomised live audio prompts and an immersive audio installation, with performers interpreting archived materials and memories while navigating obstacles over an hour-long dynamic exploration. It incorporates clubbing tracks inspired by queer voguing culture and utilises transducers on drums for recorded materials, reshaping the narrative through interaction with instruments associated with marches
On-Surface Synthesis of Ni-Porphyrin-Doped Graphene Nanoribbons
No full textOn-surface synthesis of functional molecular structures provides a route to the fabrication of materials tailored to exhibit bespoke catalytic, (opto)electronic, and magnetic properties. The fabrication of graphene nanoribbons via on-surface synthesis, where reactive precursor molecules are combined to form extended polymeric structures, provides quasi-1D graphitic wires that can be doped by tuning the properties/composition of the precursor molecules. Here, we combine the atomic precision of solution-phase synthetic chemistry with on-surface protocols to enable reaction steps that cannot yet be achieved in solution. Our focus of this work is the inclusion of porphyrin species within graphene nanoribbons to create porphyrin-fused graphene nanoribbons. A combination of scanning tunneling microscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy techniques is used to characterize a porphyrin-fused graphene nanoribbon formed on-surface from a linear polymer consisting of regularly spaced Ni-porphyrin units linked by sections of aryl rings which fuse together during the reaction to form graphitic regions between neighboring Ni-porphyrin units
