Replication Data for: Mineralogical controls on the recovery of Ni and Co from HCl leaching of laterites
No full textThis dataset contains the underlying data used for the study "Mineralogical controls on the recovery of Ni and Co from HCl leaching of laterites" carried out as part of the HE ENICON project.
The dataset contains whole-rock (geochemistry and particle size distributions) and mineralogical (mineral abundances, particle properties, mineral chemistry) data from laterite ores and solid residues after HCl leaching of those ores.
The data were collected to assess how the laterite ores and the minerals within them respond to leaching with HCl. The study focuses on the recovery of Ni and Co from these laterite ores, specifically, which minerals are resistant to the HCl leaching and, consequently, prevent the full recovery of metals

Replication Data for: Mechanistic insights into the impact of acetic acid, lactic acid, and succinic acid on the dough rheology, the breadmaking process, and the specific volume of wholemeal sourdough-type bread
No full textReplication data of the publication entitled "Mechanistic insights into the impact of acetic acid, lactic acid, and succinic acid on the dough rheology, the breadmaking process, and the specific volume of wholemeal sourdough-type bread". This study aimed to gain mechanistic insights into the impact of the primary organic acids, i.e. acetic acid, lactic acid, and succinic acid on the breadmaking process, the specific volume of wholemeal bread, and underlying dough rheological parameters. First, the interplay between the type of organic acid, the acidification level (dough pH of 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5), mixing time, and water absorption and their relation to specific bread volume was studied. Data analysis and modelling showed an increase of up to 22% in the predicted maximal specific volume of wholemeal bread when succinic acid (3.3 ± 0.2 mL/g; pH = 4.5), lactic acid (3.1 ± 0.2 mL/g; pH = 4.5), or acetic acid (3.0 ± 0.2 mL/g; pH = 5.5) was added, compared to a control wholemeal bread (2.7 ± 0.2 mL/g). This increase was only obtained when optimal process parameter settings were used because the robustness of the system decreased upon acidification. Insights into how the organic acids impacted the dough network were obtained by assessing the fundamental rheological properties of the bread dough. The increased extensional viscosity observed in acidified dough revealed more starch-starch, starch-gluten, and gluten-gluten interactions than in the unacidified control dough. Overall, this study highlights that acid addition can increase the specific volume of wholemeal bread and stresses the need for process optimisation. Moreover, the results suggest unique interactions of each acid type in the dough matrix. These results contribute to developing high-quality wholemeal sourdough-type bread by steering the acidification during sourdough production
Supplementary Data - Effect of acetate and chloride on Pb sorption onto clinoptilolite at geothermal conditions
No full textPb sorption data onto natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) in the presence/absence of acetate, and with increasing acetate concentrations, to mimic the effects of natural organic matter and synthetic organic matter from chemical inhibitors on Pb sorption at geothermal conditions. The data also includes Pb sorption with and without Cl ions in solution, to test the effect of salinity on Pb sorption efficiency onto clinoptilolite
Replication Data for: Age-related balance difficulties during shoulder checks increase cycling risk in older adults
No full textThis dataset was created for a study investigating age-related declines in cycling skills, specifically during the shoulder check. In the experiment, participants cycled in a straight lane while performing a shoulder check to identify the color of an object placed behind them.
The dataset includes inertial measurement unit (IMU) data collected from the handlebars, frame, pelvis, and torso of 40 young adults (22.86 ± 1.53 years) and 41 older adults (62.73 ± 1.57 years). It also contains records of task errors, including interrupted cycling, incorrect color identification, and cycling outside the lane.
From the IMU data, we derived the relative range of motion of the frame, pelvis, and torso sensors, the standard deviation of the steering angle, and the task duration. The MATLAB scripts used to compute these parameters, along with the subsequent statistical analyses, is included in the dataset
Size and Composition of Wardrobes in Flanders
No full textThis database contains the final datasets of the wardrobe audits conducted as part of the PhD research of Veerle Vermeyen (KU Leuven projectcode: 3E211210).
In this project, a wardrobe audit comprised of a systematic count of all the garments within the scope of the study at the participant's home with a researcher present to guide the process. Per garment we noted (1) the garment category, (2) the acquisition method (‘first-owner’ vs ‘pre-owned’), and (3) whether it was used in the prior 12 months (‘active’ vs 'dormant’).
Underwear, swimwear, accessories (such as gloves, scarves, hats, bags), and shoes are outside the scope of this study.

Replication Data for: Tight blood-glucose control without early parenteral nutrition in the ICU.
No full textThis dataset contains the primary study results of the TGC-Fast RCT (Gunst J, Debaveye Y, Güiza F, Dubois J, De Bruyn A, Dauwe D, De Troy E, Casaer MP, De Vlieger G, Haghedooren R, Jacobs B, Meyfroidt G, Ingels C, Muller J, Vlasselaers D, Desmet L, Mebis L, Wouters PJ, Stessel B, Geebelen L, Vandenbrande J, Brands M, Gruyters I, Geerts E, De Pauw I, Vermassen J, Peperstraete H, Hoste E, De Waele JJ, Herck I, Depuydt P, Wilmer A, Hermans G, Benoit DD, Van den Berghe G. NEJM 2023). The purpose of the dataset is to analyze the impact of tight versus liberal blood glucose control in patients who do not receive early parenteral nutrition. The dataset contains the baseline characteristics of the 9230 TGC-Fast patients as well as the primary study results (including the length of time that ICU care was needed as the primary endpoint and 90-day mortality as the safety endpoint). The length of time that ICU care was needed was calculated on the basis of time to discharge alive from the ICU, or the time until readiness for discharge from the ICU, with readiness for discharge defined as the time at which patients were no longer at risk or in need of vital-organ support or the time they were actually discharged, whichever came first. Long-term follow-up is ongoing

Replication Data for: The impact of wheat sprouting on iron and zinc bioaccessibility and bioavailability to Caco-2 cells
No full textWhile wheat is a good source of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), their bioaccessibility is limited due to chelation with phytic acid. Sprouting wheat at 26 °C reduced the phytate content by 25 – 40 % and increased bioaccessibility (determined with an in vitro digestion assay) 1.5 – 2.7 times (Fe) and 1.6 – 2.3 times (Zn), depending on the sprouting time (48 – 120 h). Subsequent application of in vitro digests to Caco-2 cells showed that sprouting for 120 h at 26 °C did not enhance wheat Fe bioavailability, while it increased Zn bioavailability 1.6-fold. When the in vitro digests were exposed to diffusive gradients in thin film (DGT) with Chelex resin, which binds free mineral ions, sprouting was found to have caused release of non-labile Fe complexes and some labile Zn complexes. The latter resulted in higher levels of bioavailable forms of Zn in wheat
