2025 Into the Light Index on Global Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse
No full textThis dataset is the collection of dataframes that, when taken together, comprise the Childlight 2025 Into the Light Index on Global Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse. This includes dataframes across three indicator areas: 1. Victimisation (offline and technology facilitated CSEA), 2. Frontline data (policing), and 3. Child sexual abuse material. README files accompany the dataframes for additional context. The overall synthesis of data, including a Supplemental Thematic Analysis Report and Technical Note, can be found on Childlight’s website at https://www.childlight.org/intothelight/ . Permission to copy, disseminate or otherwise use information from the 2025 edition of the Into the Light Index on Global Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse is granted, so long as appropriate acknowledgement and citation is given
Videos of eMouseAtlas Models: Theiler Stage 15 (9-10.5 dpc)
No full textA number of videos for each of the eMouseAtlas 3D mouse embryo models to show the overall form and in some cases selected anatomy. Each video is identified by the unique EMA ID with annotation if required. The videos labelled as "watermovies" are captured using the OPT system with the embryo spun on a longitudinal axis with no tissue clearing
Characterization of water adhesion on electrospun PCL fibres
No full textThe study of water wettability is crucial in agriculture, heat exchange, and biomedical applications; however, water adhesion receives limited attention despite being distinct from wettability and lateral pinning forces. Water adhesion is particularly relevant in designing hydrophobic surfaces with high normal adhesion, a property commonly correlated with wettability. Yet, materials with similar wettability can exhibit differences in water adhesion. We examined the water adhesion phenomena on hydrophobic electrospun fibers composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) with varying concentrations of poly(lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) using a micromechanical balance. The aim is to explore how variations in chemical composition and morphology affect water adhesion. Through spreading and withdrawing experiments, as well as comparison with static and dynamic contact angles, we identified a correlation between contact angle hysteresis and the maximum adhesion force. This finding contrasts with previous research that focused solely on receding contact angles, highlighting how contact angle hysteresis provides the best correlation with maximum adhesion force for fibrous hydrophobic surfaces. Given the challenges in measuring contact angle hysteresis on fibrous hydrophobic surfaces, this study also suggests adhesion tensiometry as a potentially more robust and accessible method for these materials.Description provided in the Readme.txt file attache

In the last quarter of the century, even as the foundational programmes of Europe and America lost their impetus, the baton was passed on to other countries, especially in eastern Asia, where the narrative of Modern mass housing was reinvigorated for the next century - a unique example of a key Modernist project that actually continues and thrives today, and which thus forms a principal focus of interest for DOCOMOMO – the leading international organisation promoting the documentation and conservation of buildings, sites and neighbourhoods of the Modern Movement. As heritage, the built legacies of this diverse and multi-generational adventure are almost always too controversial to qualify for conservation strategies. Instead, therefore, recording and inventorisation must dominate the heritage interest in this field. In the recognition of that fact, DOCOMOMO’s International Specialist Committee on Urbanism and Landscape, in partnership with the Scottish Centre for Conservation Studies at the University of Edinburgh, has launched the International Mass Housing Archive, whose aim is to provide an open-access library of images of significant housing projects in each working-group territory, free of copyright restrictions. These files may be copied, edited and shared on condition the appropriate citation is used, as per the terms of the attached Creative Commons Attribution licence. ### Structure ### The International Mass Housing Archive is subdivided under geographical headings corresponding to the constituent working groups of DOCOMOMO, and the individual housing projects are searchable under city and project name. Initially, the Image Archive will be managed and augmented centrally by DOCOMOMO and the SCCS, in partnership with University of Edinburgh Information Services, commencing with pilot city surveys sourced from our own photographic records in the first instance. The archive is related to several existing mass housing documentation initiatives. These include one concerning Britain, namely the online version of the 1994 book, Tower Block: http://towerblock.org/TowerBlock.pd
EdFoil: an open-source software enabling faster geometrical modelling of composite blades.
No full textSetting up a numerical model is often the most time-consuming stage of any analysis. Preparing the geometry, applying material definitions, and defining boundary conditions can take considerably longer than running the simulation itself. This user guide introduces the \EdFoil framework designed to accelerate the modelling process for composite blades. By automating the generation of airfoils, stations, and laminate sections, the tool aims to reduce setup time and ensure consistency across different models. In addition, it takes advantage of modern computing hardware, allowing engineers and researchers to start modelling full three-dimensional composite blades more efficiently than with traditional two-dimensional workflows. EdFoil is built with Qt, the C++ framework for software development
Changing the flow profile and resulting drying pattern of dispersion droplets via contact angle modification
No full textSpilling tea or coffee leads to a tell-tale circular stain after the droplet dries, known as the “coffee ring effect”. The
evaporation of suspension droplets is a complex physical process, and predicting and controlling the particle deposit
patterns from sessile droplet evaporation are essential for many industrial processes, such as ink-jet printing and crop-care
applications. In this article, we systematically investigate the effect of surface wettability on the evaporation dynamics
of a particle-laden droplet, focussing on the contact line stick-slip behaviour, the hydrodynamic flow of the suspended
particles, and the resulting particle deposit after evaporation. We use substrates with different wettabilities, ranging from
hydrophilic to hydrophobic, and quantify the internal flow during the evaporation by tracking (fluorescent) tracer particles.
We find that the internal flow shifts from a predominantly outward flow towards the contact line for low contact angles to
an inward flow for large contact angles. Correspondingly, the particle deposit transitions from the typical coffee-ring
pattern to a central stain as the substrate’s hydrophobicity increases. Finally, we corroborate these experimental findings
with dynamic density functional theory, modelling the droplet evaporation process and stick-slip behaviour of the contact
line. Our investigation suggests that the wettability of the substrate can significantly alter hydrodynamic flow within
drying droplets, thereby affecting the resulting particle deposit.Dataset corresponding to arXiv pre-print of: "Changing the flow profile and resulting drying pattern of dispersion droplets via

Genotypes of Ugandan dairy cattle samples
No full textThese files contain the genotypes of 192 dairy cattle samples from Uganda, covering 162 crossbred animals sampled from the Central region of the country and 10 animals from three of the most common local breeds/populations in the country: Ankole (Kiruhura district), Ugandan Zebu (Soroti district) and Nganda (Masaka district).
Genotypes are presented in PLINK binary format for 777,962 SNPs across 32 chromosomes obtained from the Illumina HD Bovine chip. Genotype calls are in the Top strand notation for Illumina. Map assembly is UMD3.1
These genotypes were obtained as part of a study under review in Frontiers in Genomic
