We study the behavior of classical dimer coverings of the square lattice - a paradigmatic model for systems subject to constraints - evolving under local stochastic dynamics, by means of Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical arguments. We observe clear signatures of correlated dynamics in both global and local observables and over a broad range of time scales, indicating a breakdown of the simple continuum description that approximates well the statics. We show that this collective...

Background: Patients’ illness beliefs have been associated with glycaemic control in diabetes and survival in other conditions. Objective: We examined whether illness beliefs independently predicted survival in patients with diabetes and foot ulceration. Methods: Patients (n=169) were recruited between 2002 and 2007. Data on illness beliefs were collected at baseline. Data on survival were extracted on 1st November 2011. Number of days survived reflected the number of days from date of recruitment to 1st November...

Supramolecular materials are widely studied and used for a variety of applications; in most applications, these materials are in contact with surfaces of other materials. Whilst much focus has been placed on elucidating factors that affect supramolecular material properties, the influence of the material surface on gel formation is poorly characterised. Here, we demonstrate that surface properties directly affect the fibre architecture and mechanical properties of self-assembled cytidine based gel films.

High resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to resolve the evolution of crystallites of a metal organic framework (HKUST-1) grown on Au(111) using a liquid-phase layer-by-layer methodology. The nucleation and faceting of individual crystallites is followed by repeatedly imaging the same sub-micron region after each cycle of growth and we find that the growing surface is terminated by {111} facets leading to the formation of pyramidal nanostructures for [100] oriented crystallites, and triangular [111]...

Quantitative data from the first user user study of the geotracks prototype adaptive music system, Nottingham, summer 2015. Includes participants, subjective responses to adaptive and non-adaptive walks.

Raw data for new compounds described in the paper: "Enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed coupling of arylboronic acids, 1,3-enynes, and imines by alkenyl-to-allyl 1,4-rhodium(I) migration".

This dataset should be viewed alongside the accompanying paper: The Development of an Observational Measure to Assess Patient Activation, Illustrated in Psychological Therapy with Long-Term High Users of Healthcare Who Have Complex Needs. It shows the summary scores for ratings given by four coders using the PICS for 10 sessions of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).Summary scores range from 0 to 100, dependent on the level of patient activation deemed to be present in each PICS...

Anonymised transcripts of Amazon Echo interfaces in a home, as used in the CHI 2018 paper "Voice Interfaces in Everyday Life". This data was captured using a custom-built recording device ("Conditional Voice Recorder") that recorded a minute before and a minute after Amazon Echo interactions in the home. More information on recording can be found in the paper. Audio recordings for the transcripts available to download may be available by contacting one of the listed...

These lesson plans were used for the data collection of a research study aimed at investigating how low achieving students learn fractions through an approach emphasizing visual representations.

The limited stability of the surface of black phosphorus (BP) under atmospheric conditions is a significant constraint on the exploitation of this layered material and its few layer analogue, phosphorene, as an optoelectronic material. Here Wwe show that the surface of black phosphorus (BP) supports the formation of supramolecular networks stabilised by hydrogen bonding can be formed on BP, and that these monolayer-thick films can passivate the BP surface and inhibit oxidation under ambient conditions....

The on-surface synthesis of covalently bonded materials differs from solution-phase synthesis in several respects. The transition from a three-dimensional reaction volume to quasi two-dimensional confinement, as is the case for on-surface synthesis, has the potential to facilitate alternative reaction pathways to those available in solution. Ullmann-type reactions, where the surface plays a role in the coupling of aryl-halide functionalised species, has been shown to facilitate extended one- and two-dimensional structures. Here we employ a combination...

Bacterial infections in healthcare settings are a frequent accompaniment to both routine procedures such as catheterization and surgical site interventions. Their impact is becoming even more marked as the numbers of medical devices that are used to manage chronic health conditions and improve quality of life increases. The resistance of pathogens to multiple antibiotics is also increasing, adding an additional layer of complexity to the problems of employing safe and effective medical procedures. One approach...

Data related to the paper "Improved Extraction Repeatability and Spectral Reproducibility for Liquid Extraction Surface Analysis–Mass Spectrometry Using Superhydrophobic–Superhydrophilic Patterning" A major problem limiting reproducible use of liquid extraction surface analysis (LESA) array sampling of dried surface-deposited liquid samples is the unwanted spread of extraction solvent beyond the dried sample limits, resulting in unreliable data. Here, we explore the use of the Droplet Microarray (DMA), which consists of an array of superhydrophilic spots bordered by...

Hexagonal boron nitride is a large band-gap insulating material which complements the electronic and optical properties of graphene and the transition metal dichalcogenides. However, the intrinsic optical properties of monolayer boron nitride remain largely unexplored. In particular, the theoretically expected crossover to a direct-gap in the limit of the single monolayer is presently not con rmed experimentally. Here, in contrast to the technique of exfoliating few-layer 2D hexagonal boron nitride, we exploit the scalable approach...

On-surface synthesis provides a route for the production of 1D and 2D covalently bonded polymeric structures. Such reactions are confined to the surface of a substrate and the catalytic properties of the substrate are often utilised to initiate the reaction. Recent studies have focused on the properties of various crystallographic planes of metallic substrates, as well as native surface features such as step-edges, in an effort to provide control over the pathway of the reaction...

The GNSS network of Japan, which is known as GNSS Earth Observatoin Network System (GEONET-Japan) and operated by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, consists of more than 1200 continuously observing GNSS stations, covering the Japanese land area with 20 km average distance between neighborouring GNSS sites. The Mw9.0 earthquake of Tohoku on 2011 March 11 was fully recorded by GEONET and GPS records of 847 GEONET stations of 15-hour duration and 1 Hz sampling...
