Dataset for "User-testing guidelines to improve the safety of intravenous medicines administration: a randomised in-situ simulation study"
Get PDFThese data describe a randomised in situ simulation experiment to compare the rate of errors made by hospital nurses during the administration of an intravenous medicine when using current or user-tested injectable medicines guidelines. The files in this archive include:
- the study protocol;
- data collection tools;
- the two guidelines compared in the study;
- quantitative data on participant demographics, errors and participant feedback;
- an expert panel's analysis of the severity of the observed errors;
- transcriptions and analysis of debrief interviews with participants.For full details of the methodology, see study protocol included in this archive and included in the associated article.For details of how the dataset has been arranged, see README file included in this archive
Dataset for BathRC Ventilation model
Get PDFThis dataset contains:
(a) Experimentally measured pressure-flow data from testing of ventilator circuits with a variety of configurations and circuit components. These data are useful in characterising circuit components and validating ventilation circuit models, in particular the BathRC model.
(b) A spreadsheet implementing the BathRC model to compute inspiration restrictor requirements for ventilating two patients from a single ventilator
Dataset for "Cu/Ag Sphere Segment Void Array as Efficient Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Substrate for Detecting Individual Atmospheric Aerosol".
No full textThis dataset contains the results of simulations of electromagnetic fields near the surface of a Cu/Ag sphere segment void array obtained using Lumerical FDTD software. The results support the publication "Cu/Ag Sphere Segment Void Array as Efficient Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Substrate for Detecting Individual Atmospheric Aerosol".The data were obtained by simulating various surface geometries in Lumerical Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) software. The exact geometries of the simulated structures and the simulation parameters are described in the related publication
Dataset for "Participatory Design in Refugee Camps: Comparison of Different Methods and Visualisation Tools"
No full textShelters for the displaced can suffer from socio-cultural incompatibility and significant levels of occupant dissatisfaction. Participatory Design (PD) is known to help reduce such issues. This is the first study to investigate the effectiveness of different PD methods at engaging and capturing users’ needs for shelter design in refugee camps. It also aimed to identify which visualisation tools are best at: engaging participants; communicating designs (e.g. concept, size and materials); and facilitating proposing modifications. This is a particularly large study with 16 workshops and 161 participants. Two PD methods were deployed: (i) Design-your-own (where refugees proposed their ideal shelter); (ii) Adapt-a-design (where refugees evaluated and modified pre-existing shelter designs). The shelters in (ii) were presented using three visualisation tools: computer models, physical prototypes and virtual reality.
This dataset includes demographic information of the participants of the workshops, and the participant evaluations of the three visualisation tools tested in the Adapt-a-design workshops.Four series of workshops were conducted to evaluate the use of traditional and contemporary methods as viable tools for capturing user values and requirements for shelters. These workshops can be categorised under two approaches:
a. The first approach termed ‘Design your Own’ focused on giving participants a ‘blank canvas’ – in the form of paper, pens and pencils, plasticine, Lego® and a kit-of-parts. Participants were asked to use any of these mediums to conceptualise and articulate their ‘ideal’ shelter. This first workshop approach was one step further than asking the refugees a series of standard questions in order to capture their shelter needs and requirements and can be used at the early design stages.
b. The second approach is termed ‘Adapt a Design’ and it utilised four pre-designed shelter typologies (deployable, modular, assemblage and freeform) presented in three ways: b1. Computer-produced architectural drawings and models in 2D and 3D shown on A2 paper and/or projected on screen (ACM); b2. Physical models or prototypes (PP); and b3. Virtual reality (VR). This approach can be implemented after an initial design has been developed by the humanitarian agencies to gain feedback on the proposed design. The evaluation was based on three activities; design assessment, design modification & method assessment.
161 refugees participated in these workshops. At the end of 'adapt a design' workshops, participants were asked to evaluate the visualisation tool used. This data set provides the participants background and responses on the evaluation sheets

Dataset for "Adjusting organic load as a strategy to direct single-stage food waste fermentation from anaerobic digestion to chain elongation"
No full textThis dataset includes the results summary from a lab-scale bioreactor experiment as discussed in the research paper with the same name, published at Processes MDPI (De Groof, V.; Coma, M.; Arnot, T.C.; Leak, D.J.; Lanham, A.B. Adjusting Organic Load as a Strategy to Direct Single-Stage Food Waste Fermentation from Anaerobic Digestion to Chain Elongation. Processes 2020, 8, 1487.).
The study comprised two operational phases of duplicate reactors fed with food waste, each set to target a different product. The data comprises a summary on feedstock composition, microbial community analysis and operational conditions and product outcome per operational phase. The archaeal and bacterial community data includes the final sequences of the operational taxonomic units found and their relative abundance in each sample as determined by 16s rRNA amplicon sequencing. The raw data files have been submitted in the specialized EMBL-EBI database and are available under the accession number PRJEB39281.AnalyticalThis dataset was prepared and processed in Microsoft Excel from raw analytical data. The bioinformatic processing prior to the microbial community summary in the spreadsheet was done as outlined in the publication, and results were processed via the DNASense data analysis app (applies Rstudio IDE v.3.5.1 with the ampvis v.2.5.8. package).This version includes rarefaction curves and values of alpha-diversity, richness and evenness per sample in the OTU_table tab
