Dataset for "The effect of acute hypohydration on glycemia in healthy adults"
This dataset provides the data collected for a trial investigating the role of hydration status on glycaemic regulation in healthy adults (n = 16; n = 8 male). To our knowledge, the effect of hydration status on glycemia has never been causally investigated in healthy adults. Therefore, the goal was to explore how acute hypohydration impacts blood sugar control in healthy adults. The trial was a randomised crossover trial, with each trial arm lasting 5 days. The first 3 days were lifestyle monitoring, day 4 was a dehydration/rehydration day (including lifestyle monitoring), and day 5 was the full trial day. The trial arms were hypohydrated (HYPO), or rehydrated (RE).This was a randomised crossover trial in 16 volunteers (n = 8 male). The protocol consisted of a 5 day protocol:
- Days 1-3: Weight diet records, wearing physical activity monitor (ActiHeart™), morning urine specific gravity, morning body mass.
- Day 3: Minimum fluid intake requirement (40 ml/kg lean body mass), no food or fluid after 2200 h.
- Day 4: pQCT scan, fasted blood sample, 1-h in heat tent. After heat tent, low water content foods only were consumed, along with a rehydration protocol (40 ml/kg lean body mass + 150 % sweat losses from heat tent of water only), or a hypohydration protocol (3 ml/kg body mass), conducted in a random order. No food or fluid after 2200 h.
- Day 5: pQCT scan, metabolic rate, fasted blood sample, opt-in muscle biopsy (followed by another fasted blood sample), OGTT with regular metabolic rate measures.
Exercise and food and fluid consumed on days 1-4 were replicated on the subsequent trial, with the exception of water on day 4 which was set according to the protocol.Data in this dataset have been anonymised, but (unless otherwise stated), raw data are given.Trial registrations: Clinicaltrials.gov – NCT02841449; Open Science Framework – osf.io/ptq7m.

The dataset provides information of data collected on 21 July, 28 July and 28 August 2016 in Vobster Quay, a 40-m quarry, located in Radstock (UK).

Raw Data for Azetidinium Lead Iodide for Perovskite Solar Cells
Here we prepare azetidinium lead iodide for the first time. Azetidinium lead iodide is a stable, bright orange material which does not appear to form a 3D or a 2D perovskite. It was successfully used as the absorber layer in solar cells. We also show that it is possible to make mixed cation devices by adding the azetidinium cation to methylammonium lead iodide. Mixed azetidinium-methylammonium cells show improved performance and reduced hysteresis compared to methylammonium lead iodide cells.
This dataset includes all structural and electrochemical raw data, including thin film XRD, UV/Vis, Cyclic Voltammetry and Mott Schottky measurements. It also includes the main parameters (Efficiency, Open Circuit Voltage, Short Circuit Current Density, Fill Factor) for all those made. The raw data includes JV curve data of the best pixel from each set, a stabilised efficiency measurement for the MAPI, A1 and A2 cell and an EQE measurement of the best overall pixel.For full details of how the data was collected, please see the corresponding paper, available from https://doi.org/10.1039/C7TA07545F

Dataset for "Energy or Carbon? Exploring the relative size of universal zero carbon and zero energy design spaces"
A new Standard Building Model (SBM) was developed in Matlab to simulate the construction and performance of multiple buildings in multiple global locations. Virtual materials objects, with embodied carbon and energy, and where applicable thermal resistance properties, were combined by SBM to create virtual building objects. These were then assessed under defined conditions (locations, number of occupants, infiltration levels, etc.) to generate SBM cases. The properties of the building objects, and the specifications of the assessment conditions were varied. The overall result was the generation of 24.7 million SBM cases.
The performance of each case was assessed in terms of both net carbon emissions and net energy demand (normalised to the internal floor area).Multiple Standard Building Model (SBM) Building System Objects were generated in MATLAB. For simplicity, all SBM Building Objects are cuboid, but may be tall and thin, short and wide, or anything in between. Multiple Building Object dimensions were defined, and valid SBM outputs required a width : height ratio greater than 0.125.
The Building Objects were modelled with different heat loss/gains characteristics, and in different locations.
SBM generated 24.7 million Building System Object cases. Each case is assessed on the basis of both net carbon emissions and net energy demand.
Each SBM case assessment output is generated with a unique 14 unit case code (MATLAB vector) whereby each unit value identifies a particular characteristic of the case in question (see Table 1) followed by the output value.
The output data are Microsoft Access Table (.mat) files. Each file contains two matrices (1,658,880 x 15). One matrix records the 14 unit case codes and the net carbon emissions outputs (labelled ZCBdata). The other matrix records the 14 unit case codes and the net energy demand outputs (labelled ZEBdata).

Datasets for computer simulations of tilt grain boundaries in SrTiO3, used for lattice dynamics and molecular dynamics calculations. These calculations were used in the paper, "The Impact of Tilt Grain Boundaries on the Thermal Transport in Perovskite SrTiO3 Layered Nanostructures: A Computational Study," to demonstrate how nanoscale structural features may be identified that can facilitate thermal transport in technologically important nanostructured materials such as SrTiO3.Details of the methodology may be found in the 'Computational methods' section of the associated paper, and in the readme.txt files included in the dataset.The following software was used in processing the data: LAMPPS (https://lammps.sandia.gov/); PHONOPY (https://atztogo.github.io/phonopy/); METADISE (https://doi.org/10.1039/FT9969200433).The phonopy directory contains the three structures to run through the simulation code: PHONOPY was used for the lattice dynamics calculations.
