It is named after the lineage of Bönpo priests in whose house it is kept. The collection, consisting of 340 different items with a total of 3,477 folios, cards, or individual sheets of paper, represents the ritual repertoire of the priests of the kings of Mustang, once a Tibetan kingdom and now a district of Nepal. The manuscripts exemplify the variety of forms, scripts, decorations, materials and other codicological features. The texts have not been used since the priestly line ended in the 1960s or 60s. The value of this collection is twofold: first, the collection was assembled from different parts of Tibet and the Himalaya over six centuries, and offers a rich body of material which can be retrieved by material and codicological analyses that will contribute to our understanding of book and paper making traditions in the region, as well as social aspects of Tibetan manuscript production; and secondly, in terms of its content, it offers a window onto the nature of royal religion in a Tibetan kingdom. These manuscripts were used in rituals for the protection and prosperity of the kingdom of Mustang, its subjects and members of royal lineage; knowledge of the materials and ritual practices involved in the creation of physical objects will help to understand the interaction between religion, patronage and political authority in Tibetan society.DATASET FILESThe dataset contains files:• Drangsong_196.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_196.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_196_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_196_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_196_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_196_XRF_analysis.png (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry).DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTDetailed information on writing, materials, format, and layout is provided in a Readme.txt file attached to this dataset.</p

Pyrolyzed cobalt hexacyanocobaltate dispersed on reduced-graphene-oxide as an electrocatalyst of the oxygen reduction reaction in an alkaline medium
No full textDescribed is the development of a unique electrocatalytic material prepared by heat-treating a composite of a Prussian Blue analogue, cobalt hexacyanocobaltate, and immobilizing it on reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The pyrolysis process, heating at 500 OC, forms a material with catalytic cobalt centers that are active toward the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media. Physicochemical properties of this material containing cobalt in different oxidation states have been elucidated using transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and various electrochemical diagnostic techniques. Experimental results have shown that this material displayed comparable electrocatalytic activity (e.g., onset potential) toward the oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline media to that of Vulcan-supported platinum nanoparticles. Formation of undesirable peroxide species, as demonstrated by monitoring ring currents during rotating ring-disk electrode measurements, was somewhat higher at the pyrolyzed cobalt hexacyanocobaltate on rGO than with platinum nanoparticles on a carbon black support; however, even in the worst case, these values were below 15%, which demonstrates a high activity of cyanide-bridged cobalt sites. This thermally prepared electrocatalytic material exhibits high stability and tolerance to alcohols such as methanol.</p
Entomortierella ferrotolerans interactions with iron
No full textThis dataset consists of four zip archives containing different types of data:culture_characteristics - csv tables with data on iron concentration and pH changes in media, mycelial dry mass and mycelial iron content,biosurfactants_siderophores - csv tables with data on biosurfactants and siderophores production by the used strains of fungi,GC-MS - lists of organic compounds produced by the strains in different growth conditions,SEM - data obtained with scanning electron microscopy.Additional metadata are available in readme files within each of the archives. Furthermore two files with metadata considering used strains of fungi (strains.csv) and growth conditions (iron_variants.csv) are provided.Briefly about the project and methods used to obtain the data:Interactions of four Entomortierella ferrotolerans strains with iron were tested. To examine the impact of iron concentrations on the physiology of the species liquid culture media of different iron concentrations were inoculated with spores. The data on iron concentration variants, where growth was observed are available in iron_variants.csv. The cultures were sampled multiple times to assess the following. The iron concentration changes in medium were tracked using FAAS and pH changes were measured. The weight of mycelia were measured and iron content was examined using FAAS. The data on organic compound production were gathered with the use of GC-MS. Biosurfactants production was examined with the use of OST, Parafilm M and Emulsification index tests. Siderophore production was examined with the use of CAS medium.The influence of E. ferrotolerans on iron class A construction rods (courtesy of Stal Service, Nieporęt, Polska) was examined with the use of scanning electron microscopy.</p

It is named after the lineage of Bönpo priests in whose house it is kept. The collection, consisting of 340 different items with a total of 3,477 folios, cards, or individual sheets of paper, represents the ritual repertoire of the priests of the kings of Mustang, once a Tibetan kingdom and now a district of Nepal. The manuscripts exemplify the variety of forms, scripts, decorations, materials and other codicological features. The texts have not been used since the priestly line ended in the 1950s or 60s. The value of this collection is twofold: first, the collection was assembled from different parts of Tibet and the Himalaya over six centuries, and offers a rich body of material which can be retrieved by material and codicological analyses that will contribute to our understanding of book and paper making traditions in the region, as well as social aspects of Tibetan manuscript production; and secondly, in terms of its content, it offers a window onto the nature of royal religion in a Tibetan kingdom. These manuscripts were used in rituals for the protection and prosperity of the kingdom of Mustang, its subjects and members of royal lineage; knowledge of the materials and ritual practices involved in the creation of physical objects will help to understand the interaction between religion, patronage and political authority in Tibetan society.DATASET FILESThe dataset contains files:• Drangsong_141.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_141.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_141_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_141_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_141_fibres.zip (microscopic images),• Drangsong_141_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_141_XRF_analysis.png (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry).DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTDetailed information on writing, materials, format, and layout is provided in a Readme.txt file attached to this dataset.</p
