Dataset supporting the paper: Improving the use of equational constraints in cylindrical algebraic decomposition
Get PDFThe files in this dataset support the paper "Improving the use of equational constraints in cylindrical algebraic decomposition" by Matthew England, Russell Bradford and James H. Davenport. They include the following:
1. A Maple worksheet and library file detailing the examples in Section 2 of the paper.
2. A zipped directory of files concerning those examples from Section 2 of the paper run in Qepcad-B.
3. A Maple worksheet concerning the example in Section 4 solved using the new ideas of the paper.
4. A zipped directory of files concerning the example in Section 4 of the paper when solved with Qepcad-B.
5. A zipped directory of files concerning the other CAD implementations in Maple for the example in Section 4. These are
- Sign-invariant CAD by our own package ProjectionCAD;
- Sign-invariant CAD by the RegularChains package (two variants);
- CAD using single EC (four variants) in our own package;
- CAD using multiple ECs in Regular Chains.The data collection was by recording cell counts of CAD algorithms in various computer algebra systems. A full explanation can be found in the paper this data set supports.The numbers reported in the paper were cell counts taken from running the code provided in this dataset.To run the Maple worksheet you will need a copy of the commercial computer algebra software Maple. This is currently available from http://www.maplesoft.com/products/maple/. The examples were run in Maple 18 (released Spring 2014). It is likely that the same results would be obtained in Maple 17 and 16 as well as future versions of Maple, but this cannot be guaranteed.
An additional code package, developed at the University of Bath and included in this dataset as `ProjectionCAD.mpl`, is required.
If you do not have a copy of Maple you can still read the PDF printout of the worksheets.
The very last experiment detailed in EBD15-Section4Example-OtherMaple.zip was also run in the Development Version of Maple giving a different result, as reported in the paper. The Development Version of Maple is not publicly available. However, it is likely the new algorithm within will be available in the next public Maple release (2015.0).
Qepcad-B is a free piece of software for Linux which can be obtained from http://www.usna.edu/CS/qepcadweb/B/QEPCAD.html.
Bash scripts are provided for running all available tests at once.Within the zipped directories EBD15-Section2Example-Qepcad.zip and EBD15-Section4Example-Qepcad.zip, all the files end in either "-in.txt" or "-out.txt". The former give input for Qepcad and the latter record output. Hence readers without access to Qepcad (e.g. on a Windows system) can still observe the output in the latter files

Dataset for "Headache impairs attentional performance: an extension and replication"
No full textBackground
Pain has advantages for our immediate safety, but it also disrupts our ability to perform other tasks that require attention. Multiple previous studies have documented detrimental effects of pain on attention, but the specific nature of the effects is inconsistent. This may be because different studies investigate different types of pain, such as laboratory-induced thermal pain, menstrual pain, or headache. Here, we replicated a study investigating the effect of headache on attention, and extended it by including two additional attention tasks, a broader sample, and measures of affect and pain cognitions. We aimed to see whether the effects of the same type of pain on the same attention tasks would be consistent across studies.
Method
Participants performed five complex attention tasks and a choice reaction time task with and without a naturally occurring headache.
Results
Participants were slower to respond to five of the six attention tasks, and this could be attributed to a slowing in basic processing speed as measured by the choice reaction time task. Participants were also less accurate on a cued switching task.
Conclusions
The pattern of disruption found here, mainly a dampening of processing speed, is again different to previous findings. This suggests that the effect of pain on attention appears to be dynamic, even within a given type of pain. While we can be confident that pain does disrupt attention, we cannot yet predict the specific nature of disruption in any given case.The study followed a repeated measures design across two sessions, in one session participants presented with a headache and in the other they presented headache-free

The FTO/glass substrate (TEC 7, 8 Ohm □-1, 25 x 25 mm) was etched into the desired pattern with Zinc powder and 2 M HCl diluted in deionized water. The substrates were first cleaned with Hellmanex (2% solution) diluted in deionizer water, then with isopropanol, and finally acetone. They were then treated with an oxygen plasma for 15 min to remove any remaining organic residues. Logical steps to fabricate the devices are shown in Figure S10, ESI. A TiO2 blocking layer (bl-TiO2), made according to a reported procedure, [31] was deposited onto the substrate by spin-coating at 2000 RPM for 60s and after drying at 150 °C for 15min a sintering process at 500 °C for 30min was done. To obtain a mesoporous layer, a TiO2 paste (Dyesol 18NR-T) was diluted 1:5 with ethanol and spin coated on the substrate at 1000 RPM for 60s (thickness around 300 nm). The samples were dried in an oven at 100 °C for 10 min and then sintered at 500 °C for 30 min. PbI2 powder (Aldrich, 99%) was dissolved either in DMF or in DMSO solvent (at a concentration of 400 mg ml-1) and stirred at 70 °C. The hot PbI2 solution was spin-coated on either a mesoporous scaffold to obtain mesoporous structure, or directly on the bl-TiO2, to obtain a planar structure, at 4000 RPM for 30s on substrates preheated to 70 °C. These were then dried at 120 °C for 1h in air to remove the solvent and drive the crystallization. For the perovskite growth, the sample was put on a hot plate and surrounded by MAI powder. The samples and the powder were put under low vacuum (desiccator lid attached to an Edwards 5 E2M5 Rotary Vane Dual Stage Mechanical Vacuum Pump) and heated at 150 °C for the desired time. For the hole transport material (HTM), 142.6 mg of Spiro-OMETAD was dissolved in 2 ml chlorobenzene (Aldrich, anhydrous 99.8%) and 4-tert Butylpyridine (17.5 µl, 96%, Aldrich) were added as well as previously prepared bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt solution (37.5 μl of a 170 mg ml-1 LiTFSI, Aldrich, solution in acetonitrile). The HTM was spin coated at 4000 RPM for 45s and then left in air overnight in a closed box containing silica desiccant. Finally the samples were introduced into a high vacuum chamber to evaporate gold (Au) back contacts (thickness 80 nm). Each substrate has 10 pixels with 0.1 cm2 of active area.
Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed to investigate the phases of the samples, using a BRUKER D8-Advance. For the Atomic Force Microscope AFM measurements a Nanosurf AG, Easyscan 2 was used operating in dynamic force mode. Device performance was evaluated using a Class AAA solar simulator at AM 1.5G and 100 mW cm-2 connected to a source-meter (Keithley 2601A). For the measurements, the samples were covered with a shadow mask with an opening area of 0.1 cm2 to illuminate only one cell at a time. Before measuring the reverse JV curve the sample was maintained for 5 seconds stabilization time at 1.2V forward bias under illumination. A custom-made tool comprising a sourcemeter (Keithley 2612) and a monochromator (Newport 74000) was used to measure the external quantum efficiency (EQE) values of the device. For chronoamperometry measurements the cells were illuminated with a white LED (100 mW cm-2, 3 Watts- 4200K luxeon star).Full details of the data processing are given in the pape
Data for Reduced Repetition Rate Picosecond Ytterbium Mode-locked Fiber Laser Using Hollow Core Fiber
No full textThe data used to generate figures 3 - 7. Including: zip file of spectral csv files used to generate the heat map in figure 3; Excel file containing normalised spectra examples from three experimental cavities for figure 4; Excel file containing auto correlation traces from three experimental cavities including a longer time scale trace for the figure inset for figure 5; Excel file containing the measured mode locking and multi-pulsing thresholds of six experimental cavities with theoretical plot for figure 6; and an Excel file containing the multi-pulsing thresholds expressed in nonlinear phase shift normalised to pi shown in figure 7.Spectra in figure 3 and 4 were measured using a yokogawa optical spectrum analyser at the cavity output. Key settings include: resolution of 0.02nm, sample of 25001 data points and a sensitivity setting of high 1.
Autocorrelation traces in figure 5 were recorded on an APE PulseCheck autocorrelator using both a 15ps time scale and a 150ps time scale. Key settings were an averaging of 16 points, smoothing was on.
Threshold points given in "Modelocking range data.xlsx" for figure 6 were recorded by increasing pump power from 0 to 140mW and recording the pump power where pulse behaviour changed. This was repeated several times over multiple days and the variance in thresholds was incorporated into the error bars.
Threshold points given in "Peak power data.xlsx" for figure 7 were also recorded increasing pump power from 0 to 140mW but noting the average output pulse power. Using the measured pulse width and repetition rate the peak power was calculated. This was then used to estimate the peak power and nonlinear phase at each cavity stage using known component parameters. This is then summed up to give the total nonlinear phase shift per cavity round trip

Dataset for Study 3 from Thesis: An identification and critical analysis of barriers to raising the topic of weight in general practice
No full textThis data set consists of three trigger films designed as part of Maxine Blackburn's PhD. The trigger films were designed specifically for use within interviews with GPs and acted as an innovative tool to prompt reflection. All scripts were authored by Maxine Blackburn with help from her supervisory team (Professor Chris Eccleston, Dr Afroditi Stathi and Dr Ed Keogh) and other stakeholders. The videos were directed and produced by Therapeutic Media Company with input from Maxine and all roles are played by actors. Twenty GPs were interviewed using the trigger films to generate rich dialogue for a discourse analysis. The videos have provided unique insight into the barriers of raising the topic of weight in general practice
