Life cycle scenarios for the LCA modelling of European building stocks
No full textThe dataset was developed to support the "Analysis of Life-cycle Greenhouse
Gas Emissions and Removals of EU Buildings and Construction" project, the aim of which is to assess the current and future environmental impacts of the European building sector through the development of a building stock model, using a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach.
This dataset contains information on life cycle scenarios pertaining the construction and end-of-life stages, focusing on building material transport to and from the construction site (means of transport, distances, route types) and on waste handling (shares of material per waste treatment type). The dataset was used as background information to carry out the aforementioned LCA study.
Data are made available for each EU Member State and encompass a set of common construction materials
Replication Data for: Impact of rAAV-shRNA treatment targeting mechanosensitive Ilk1 and Fermt2 in a mouse model of sepsis-induced muscle weakness
No full textWe hypothesized that the integrin-receptor-complex through key elements KIND2 and ILK, plays a role in sepsis-induced-muscle-weakness. AAV2/9-vectors expressing shRNA-sequences against Ilk1, Fermt2 or noncoding-control-gene were injected in tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of 24w-old male C57BL/6J mice. Two-weeks-post-injection, after knockdown validation, mice were made septic by cecal ligation and puncture. Five-days-post-sepsis muscle force, mass and fiber size were quantified and expression of mechanosensitive elements and downstream pathways of the integrin-receptor-complex was assessed
Strong microbiome disruption reduces survival in damselfly larvae, and subsequent pathogen exposure tends to increase mortality across metamorphosis
No full textMicrobiomes are increasingly recognized as key contributors to host fitness, yet their role in mediating stressor effects, especially across metamorphosis, remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we strongly reduced the gut microbiome of Ischnura elegans damselfly larvae using antibiotics followed by inoculation with a donor gut microbiome or not, and afterwards exposed the larvae to the pathogen Escherichia coli. Both host fitness and gut microbiome diversity and community composition were assessed during the larval and adult life stages. Despite marked differences in gut microbiome community composition between both life stages, partial retention of larval taxa in adult microbiota suggests incomplete microbiome turnover in these hemimetabolous insects. Furthermore, microbiome disruption significantly increased larval mortality, an effect mitigated by microbiome inoculation, underscoring the functional importance of microbial associations in damselflies. Moreover, pathogen exposure elevated larval mortality and tended to induce delayed mortality in the adult stage, revealing carry-over effects across metamorphosis. Yet, we did not find evidence of the gut microbiome mediating these carry-over effects. Together, our results highlight the critical role of the microbiome in determining host fitness, and the importance of considering both immediate and delayed stressor effects in animals with complex life cycles
TSM and HO-TSM Supplementary Repository
No full textThis dataset includes Verilog source code for the Higher-Order Time Sharing Masking (HO-TSM) scheme, along with reference implementations of masked AES S-Boxes and a masked AES-128 core. It also provides synthesis scripts for generating netlists using Synopsys Design Compiler, configuration files for PROLEAD and SILVER formal verification tools, and testbenches for simulation. The files are organized for reproducibility, and a top-level README offers detailed build, test, and verification instructions. The dataset enables researchers to reproduce performance and security results reported in the CHES 2025 paper
Replication data for: "BIO-SPEC: an open-source bench-top parallel bioreactor system"
No full textThe replication data in this repository is a mirror of the Open Science Framework repository by the same authors: 10.17605/OSF.IO/39WSB.
The BIO-SPEC is designed to address the need for an open-source, cost-effective, and flexible bench-top parallel bioreactor system. The purpose of the dataset is to allow replication of the hardware by providing all necessary design files and a detailed component list. It contains 3D models, schematics, and software to run on a Raspberry Pi. A discussion on the design, construction, and validation of the BIO-SPEC system is published elsewhere

Replication Data for: Enhancing Blind Separation of Incoherent Sources in Acoustic Imaging with Deep Learning
No full textThis dataset accompanies the preprint “Enhancing blind separation of incoherent sources in acoustic imaging with deep learning” (Wu et al., 2025). It includes microphone array recordings in TDMS format and the corresponding array geometry for validating blind source separation methods in acoustic imaging. Data includes both lab speaker configurations and real-world test rig recordings. Details on usage and loading scripts are provided in the included README
Replication Data for: The fewer predefined parameters, the better? A comparative analysis of urban delineation methods using building footprint data in the Netherlands.
No full textThis repository contains the code and data needed to replicate the analysis in our paper "The fewer predefined parameters, the better? A comparative analysis of urban delineation methods using building footprint data in the Netherlands". All code is organized in computational notebooks, arranged sequentially in the code folder. The analysis relies on the open-source EUBUCCO building database to construct urban delineations in the Netherlands, and the official urban definition of Statistics Netherlands (DUAs) is employed as benchmark. Other data sets needed to reproduce the analyses are included in the data folder. For further details, please refer to the enclosed README file and the original publication
Replication Data for: Speeding up, not slowing down, decreases the metabolic energy needed to stabilize walking in the sagittal plane
No full textData and script for the statistical analysis of the paper: Speeding up, not slowing down, decreases the metabolic energy needed to stabilize walking in the sagittal plane.
We applied continuous treadmill belt speed perturbations (standard deviation of 0.13 m/s) to 22 healthy individuals walking at 0.8, 1.2, and 1.6 m/s. We evaluated changes in metabolic energy consumption and balance control strategies between perturbed and unperturbed walking and explored relationships between both. Perturbations induced larger increases in metabolic rate and changes in balance control strategies at slower than faster walking speeds, suggesting that walking is more robust against perturbations at faster speeds. The dataset contains average metabolic rate, the average of step length and width, the standard deviation of step length and step width, and the root mean square of variability in soleus, tibialis, and gastrocnemius muscle activation over the single support phase. All measures were calculated over the last two minutes of perturbed and unperturbed walking trials
