Core-Hole Clock Spectroscopy Data for Ar@C60
No full textCore-Hole Clock Spectroscopy Data for Ar@C60:
Charge transfer is fundamentally dependent on the overlap of the orbitals comprising the transport pathway. This has key implications for molecular, nanoscale, and quantum technologies, for which delocalization (and decoherence) rates are essential figures of merit. Here, we apply the core hole clock technique – an energy-domain variant of ultrafast spectroscopy – to probe the delocalization of a photoexcited electron inside a closed molecular cage, namely the Ar 2p5 4s1 state of Ar@C60. Despite the lack of frontier orbital mixing in the ground configuration, almost 80% of the excited state density is found outside the buckyball due to the formation of a markedly diffuse hybrid orbital. Far from isolating the intracage excitation, the surrounding fullerene is instead a remarkably efficient conduit for electron transfer: we measure characteristic delocalization times of 6.5 ± 0.1 fs and ≲ 0.6 fs, respectively, for a 3D Ar@C60 film and a 2D monolayer on Ag(111)
Experimental Data for Publication 'Treatment of fruit juices with β-glucosidase for release of aroma glucosides'
No full textThe data set contains determined specific activities of a recombinant beta-glucosidase (family BglA) and the industrial product Rapidase under varying conditions (temperature, pH, sugar concentration, storage etc.). Specific activities have been determined via a spectrophotometric assay. Outliers have been removed. Both enzymes were then used to treat 4 different juice varieties (apple, apple mango, apple raspberry, grape) for 24 h at ambient temperature. The headspace of the treated juices was analysed via SPME GC-MS and compared to fresh and aged juice samples (24 h at ambient temperature). The list of compounds identified via the Tracefinder software of the treated juices and the enzymatic solutions prior to retention time alignment is included in this data set.
Data has been generated at the University Bielefeld (Industrial Organic Chemistry and Biotechnology) and the University of Nottingham (International Flavour Research Centre, School of Biosciences) and collaboratively analysed as per the jointly-awarded PhD program with the University of Adelaide

DigiScore_Transdisciplinary_roundtable_6_Laura_Bishop
No full textRoundtable discussion with Dr. Laura Bishop. Topic: How can we understand togetherness in ensemble performances with collaborative/ interactive/ intelligent digital scores?
This was the sixth conversation in a series of trans-disciplinary discussions with experts from a range of fields to enhance the theoretical understanding of the digital score. The aim of this series is exploratory and openness so that we expose, rather than close, new insights that help us understand meaning-making in digital score creativity.
Critical insights from this 1-2-1 are:
- musical togetherness can be understood as being socially rewarding, and this can be split into two distinct areas: 1) close musical alignment, b) social connections
- These are positive connections and meaningful from an emotional connection as well as musical competencies
- musical togetherness tends to be focused on embodied relationships, such as shared rhythms, feelings, and synchronicity.
- Key factors are: presence, ability to distinguish self and others as/ in sound, reliable relationships
Digital scores can evoke a sense of togetherness by (in order of difficulty):
1. being responsive beyond rhythmic synchronicity such as dynamic, articulation, phrasing
2. sharing musical goals beyond sound parameters into musical ideas. Perhaps learning over time
3. showing itself to be creative; offering sensible motives, inspiration and playfulness
4. showing facets that are aligned to the natural musicality of humans; these may be familiar to inspire meaning-making.
Challenges to the research:
1. Attention issues - does a digital score demand too much attention? Is it too verbose or trying to show too much? Does it take the musicians out of the music?
2. How does it segregate itself from the others? Can it integrate as a musician into the ensemble?
3. The digital score is a useful platform for testing out togetherness due to its disruption of many musical norms (scoring), controllability, and defined aesthetic ideas

Self-assessment of cochlear health by new cochlear implant recipients: daily impedance, electrically-evoked compound action potential and electrocochleography measurements over the first three postoperative months
No full textA recent study from our research group showed that experienced cochlear implant (CI) users can independently perform their own cochlear health (CH) recordings at home, thanks to advances in CI telemetry. This allows measurements to be taken at regular intervals and over long periods of time. Whilst this is not yet currently available in routine clinical practice, the wealth of data that can be generated in this way has numerous potential applications, including helping to maximise the benefit patients receive from CIs by allowing clinicians to tailor CI programming strategies based on each
individual’s own responses, explaining some of the variation in CI outcomes and creating tools to evaluate the safety and efficacy of novel adjunctive treatments for hearing loss. In this project, we assessed the stability of early post-implantation electrode impedances, electrically-evoked compound action potentials (eCAPs) and electrocochleography (ECochGs) in a group of newly implanted CI recipients. Specifically, eight subjects used the Active Insertion Monitoring system by Advanced Bionics to take the three recordings on a daily basis at home for three months, starting from the first day after CI surgery. Group level measurement validity was 93.7% for impedances, 93.1% for eCAPs and 83.7% for ECochGs. Impedances gradually increased over the first ten days and likely associated with the initial intracochlear inflammatory response to the electrode array, before decreasing and immediately after CI switch-on and, subsequently stabilizing thereafter. eCAP thresholds also showed good long-term stability over time and some subjects consistently displayed absent thresholds at one or more electrodes, potentially indicating regions of poor neural health. Since subjects were expected to have very little residual hearing, having met UK NICE guidelines for cochlear implantation, it was unsurprising that most ECochG thresholds did not reach the signal-to-noise criterion of 2:1 adopted by the AIM system. For the very small number of subjects that did show a considerable proportion of valid thresholds, these were relatively stable. We conclude that eCAPs and electrode impedances are promising objective measurements for evaluating CH in newly implanted CI recipients
