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_ 152.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_ 152.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_ 152_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_ 152_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_ 152_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_ 152_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
Research data for article: Model lipid raft membranes for embedding integral membrane proteins. Reconstitution of HMG-CoA reductase and its inhibition by statins
No full textIn this study, we present the reconstitution of HMG-CoA reductase in phospholipid liposomes composed of DOPC:Chol:SM at a 1:1:1 molar ratio. The liposomes were characterized by DLS method and visualized by fluorescence microscopy. The liposomes and proteoliposomes were spread at the air-water interface to form layers using Langmuir technique. The stability of the layers in time was investigated using Langmuir technique and the morphology was observed by Brewster angle microscopy. The activity of the embedded protein was measured using UV-VIs spectrophotometry.</p

The C14 analyses were performed at the Poznań Radiocarbon Lab (Tomasz Goslar).PROJECT DETAILSThe Project No. UMO-2018/30/M/HS3/00372 funded by The National Science Centre, Poland, in the framework of the HARMONIA 10 program, hosted by the Faculty of Journalism, Information and Bibliology, Department of Books, and Media History, University of Warsaw, Poland in a partnership with the École Pratique des Hautes Études and the Centre de recherche sur les civilisations de l'Asie orientale (CRCAO), Paris.Title: Protecting the Kingdom with Tibetan Manuscripts: codicological and historical analysis of the royal Drangsong collection from Mustang, Nepal.Project PI: Agnieszka Helman-Ważny hagniwaz@gmail.comProject co PI: Charles RambleThe aim of this project was to carry out a codicological and text-historical study of a unique collection of manuscripts, named Drangsong, belonging to the Bön religion of Tibet. 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_145a.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_145a.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_145a_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_145a_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_145a_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_145a_XRF_analysis.png (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry).• Drangsong_145b.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_145b.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_145b_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_145b_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_145b_macros.zip (in close-up samples),DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTDetailed information on writing, materials, format, and layout is provided in a Readme.txt file attached to this dataset.</p
X-ray data for crystal structure of sulphocalix[8]arene sodium salt
No full textX-ray diffraction (XRD) data were collected using colorless, transparent, and well-formed crystals on the SOLEIL synchrotron (Saint-Aubin, France) with an Eiger X 9M detector. Data were processed using the autoPROC pipeline, with integration in XDS and scaling and merging in AIMLESS. The data was collected with 0.72932 A wavelength with a 360-degree scan.</p
