ERA5 derived time series of European aggregated surface weather variables, wind power, and solar power capacity factors: hourly data from 1950-2020
No full textThe ERA5 reanalysis (1950-2020) has been used to calculate hourly time series of surface meteorological variables useful for energy meteorology studies, as well as degree-days, wind power, and solar power capacity factors. These are calculated at European national level, as well as for a sub-set of smaller regions over the UK and surrounding seas. The locations of wind and solar farms operational in April 2021 are used to weight wind and solar capacity factors respectively. 2020 population data is used to weight surface meteorological variables. The datasets have been produced to increase the use of meteorological data within power system modelling.

Liquid Atmospheric Pressure MALDI MS for high-throughput diagnosis and antibiotic resistance detection
No full textAP-MALDI MS profiling coupled with multivariate analysis for the detection of farm-related diseases using a simple one-pot sample preparation of milk.
Milk samples were collected at the Centre for Dairy Research (CEDAR) of University of Reading (UK). The analysis performed on the test set allowed the detection of clinical mastitis with a correct classification rate of 98.57% and the correct detection of mastitis 2 days before the clinical event with a sensitivity of 70% and a specificity of 100%
Human Connectome Project thalamic parcellation
Get PDFThis dataset is associated with the following publication: Williams, Brendan., Roesch, Etienne., Christakou, Anastasia. (2022): Systematic validation of an automated thalamic parcellation technique using anatomical data at 3T. NeuroImage. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2022.119340.
The dataset contains thalamic segmentation data for Human Connectome Project [1] participants using the FreeSurfer ThalamicSegmentation tool [2]. Thalamic segmentation data are available in subject space for individual participants and MNI152_T1_1mm space for group-level mean probability maps. This dataset also contains registration files to convert data from subject space to MNI152_T1_1mm space using ANTS [3] and the scripts used for data processing and analysis
ItalianWoolf project: schools workshops
Get PDFThis dataset is part of the outputs of the research project Virginia Woolf and Italian Readers funded from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 838658.
The dataset contains the data collected from workshops addressed to college students and teachers in collaboration, respectively, with Istituto Salesiani, Milan, Istituto Erasmo da Rotterdam, Sesto San Giovanni (Milan) and Istituto Alcide De Gasperi, Borgo Valsugana (Trento). The workshops focused on Point 5 of the UNESCO Sustainable Development Goals: Gender equality, and involved the active participation of the students, who were asked to answer a short anonymous survey in the form of paper questionnaires (which became Google Modules when the workshops had to be made online because of the Covid-19 pandemic) consisting of 10 questions with self-anchoring scale answers, designed to test their perception of gender equality.
The same questionnaires were handed out to the students before the workshop and afterwards.
The purpose of the questionnaire was to understand if the students’ gender equality perceptions had changed after the workshop and the reading of Virginia Woolf’s essays
Simulations of the Arctic sea ice comparing different approaches to modelling the floe size distribution and their respective impacts on the sea ice cover
Get PDFThis dataset has been produced by implementing either a power law derived or prognostic sea ice floe size distribution model within the CICE sea ice model. This dataset is used within the thesis ‘Fragmentation and melting of the seasonal sea ice cover’ (Bateson, 2021) to investigate the impact of the sea ice floe size distribution on the evolution of the Arctic sea ice cover and to compare different approaches to modelling floe size. Results are presented to show how variable floe size changes the seasonal retreat of the Arctic sea ice cover via changes to lateral melt volume and momentum exchange between the sea ice, ocean, and atmosphere. Winter floe formation and growth processes are found to strongly influence FSD impacts on the seasonal retreat of the sea ice, and the need to include brittle fracture processes in floe size distribution models is also demonstrated. A high sensitivity is found to poorly constrained FSD parameters, highlighting the need for further observations of floe size
Pollen data and charcoal data of the Iberian Peninsula
Get PDFSedimentary charcoal, preserved in lakes, peatbogs and other anoxic environments, has been widely used as an indicator of past changes in fire regimes. Pollen records can be used to reconstruct past climate changes by deriving a statistical relationship between modern pollen abundance and modern climate and applying this relationship to fossil pollen assemblages. Here, we present pollen data and charcoal data from the Iberian Peninsula.
The pollen data file includes basic information (e.g., latitude, longitude, elevation, source of the data, citation for original publication), age information (IPE age and IntCal20 mean and median ages and age uncertainties) and pollen counts for 205 taxa by depth (cm) for 114 records.
The charcoal data file includes basic information (e.g., latitude, longitude, elevation, charcoal. count type and unit), age information (IntCal20 mean and median age and age uncertainties) and charcoal quantity by depth (cm) for 74 records
How Cognitive and Affective Empathy Relate to Emotion Regulation
No full textIncludes datasets from the studies reported in Thompson et al. (Accepted). Cognitive and Affective Empathy Relate Differentially to Emotion Regulation. Affective Science, which examined the relationship that self-report measures of cognitive and affective empathy share with self-report (study 1) and task (study 2) measures of emotion regulation
Holocene archaeological radiocarbon data of the Iberian Peninsula
Get PDFArchaeological radiocarbon dated material to estimate changes in population size has been widely used, based on the 'dates as data' approach. This approach links the quantity of radiocarbon dated material with approximate population density for an area. Additionally, archaeological radiocarbon data is often associated with particular cultures and can thus be used, for example, to identify the start of Neolithic agriculture at a specific site. Here we present a dataset of radiocarbon dated archaeological material for the Iberian Peninsula, covering the Holocene period.
The datafile includes basic information for each radiocarbon dated archaelogical item (e.g. longitude, latitude, elevation, archaeological site name and dataset citation), age and dating information (e.g. radiocarbon age, radiocarbon age error, lab identification code, INTCAL curve type and marine offset information) and item information (e.g. material type, whether the culture from which the items was draft was Neolithic). There are 6,343 individual items within the dataset
Autism, pitch perception and cognition
No full textThis dataset contains data of British English autistic vs. neurotypical participants on 5 pitch tasks (pitch detection task, pitch direction task, speech discrimination task, piano discrimination task, and musical pitch perception task) and 4 cognitive tasks (nonverbal IQ, receptive vocabulary, digit span, and corsi block). Various demographic details were also collected, including age, gender, years of musical training, and autistic traits.
This dataset was collected by the CAASD Lab at the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences (PI: Dr Fang Liu). This research is funded by a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant (CAASD, 678733) awarded to Dr Fang Liu
The Reading Palaeofire Database: an expanded global resource to document changes in fire regimes from sedimentary charcoal records
Get PDFWildfires have major impacts on terrestrial ecosystems, the global carbon cycle, atmospheric chemistry and climate. Charcoal records from sedimentary sequences provide a way to reconstruct palaeofire regimes at different temporal and spatial scales and are a key resource to improve our understanding of the drivers of wildfires. The RPD version 1 is an updated and expanded database of global charcoal records, accompanied by new Bayesian age models. The first version of the RPD contains 1681 charcoal records from 1477 sites worldwide. New age models have been run for 714 of the charcoal records
