Data supporting "Online optimisation and active control of the cure process of thick composite laminates"
(Cranfield University, 2023-01-20 14:11) Tifkitsis, Konstantinos; Skordos, Alex
The dataset comprises experimental data, and modelling and simulation results reported in the paper titled ‘Online optimisation and active control of the cure process of thick composite laminates’ published in Journal of Manufacturing Processes (2023). The dataset is organised into 5 files: - ‘Kinetics-DSC.xlsx’ contains the experimental DSC curves, after integration for the calculation of degree of cure evolution, and the corresponding cure kinetics modelling results. The file ia organised in two worksheets - ‘Dynamic’ reports the results of the one dynamic cure experiment and ‘Isothermal’ reports the results of the four isothermal experiments used in the analysis. - ‘Tg-MDSC.xlsx’ contains the MDSC specific heat capacity measurements and the corresponding model results for three isothermal experiments in worksheet ‘Specific heat capacity’ and the glass transition temperature values measured for partially cured samples alongside the corresponding glass transistor temperature evolution model in worksheet ‘Tg.’ - ‘FE model validation.xlsx’ contains the cure simulation validation trial results using a flat panel. The results are organised into two worksheets – ‘Temperature’ reports the experimental and simulation temperature as a function of time for 3 locations in the component and ‘Degree of cure’ the corresponding degree of cure results. - ‘Cable cure.xlsx’ reports the results of the active control trial for the cure of a cable. Worksheet ‘Active control trial’ reports the setpoint evolution and the surface and centre temperatures measured, alongside the corresponding degree of cure and glass transition evolution. Worksheet ‘Standard profile simulation’ reports the simulation results for the nominal cure profile. - Multi objective optimisation.xlsx presents the Pareto (temperature overshoot versus cure time) front obtained from offline optimisation for a two-cure dwell profile using an exhaustive search alongside the values of cure time and temperature overshoot for the nominal cure profile and the actively controlled process.

Data underpinning research article 'Sand dam contributions to year-round water security monitored through remotely sensed handpump data'
(Cranfield University, 2022-12-01 15:20) Nicola Grace Ritchie, Hannah; Holman, Ian; Parker, Alison; Chan, Joanna
The repository contains an hourly abstraction data set collected from 26 sand dam hand pumps in Makueni and Machakos, Kenya via remote sensing, using Water Point Data Transmitters (WDT). The WDT were attached to the handles of the hand pumps in April 2019, and transmit abstraction via an SMS message, generated according to the number of times that the pump is used in an hour. The data set includes date, time, pump location, population size, and variables related to each sand dam (including, size, average distance to reach pump, and livestock usage). The variables are present in their raw form and also in their grouped form, which were used for the modelling in this study. The data was provided by Sand Dams Worldwide and has been approved for publication. The repository also contains an interview data set collected by Joanna Chan (MSc) in 2019 in Makueni and Machakos, Kenya. The interview data was collected at 30 sand dam sites. The data contains questions centred on water use behiours. This data was grouped to provide the variable data present in the abstraction data set.

Database of Global Research Activity on Manganese (DOGRAM)
(Cranfield University, 2016-12-07 11:37) Institute of Environment and Health
In 2016, the MHRP database/website was closed, and this fileset is the csv export of database content (one csv for each table; tblIAddress is indeed empty), preserved as it may still be of value to researchers in this area. The MHRP project description follows:In addition to the research being conducted as part of the MHRP, there are many other activities underway world-wide. In order to provide interested stakeholders with up to date information on the scope of global research in progress, and to identify the scientists currently active in relevant fields, the Institute of Environment and Health (IEH) has developed this web-based database of research activities (DOGRAM), as part of its contribution in support of the MHRP.What is DOGRAMDOGRAM is a fully searchable inventory of current research activities relating to the potential health effects of, and methods of controlling and treating, exposure to Mn. As such, its scope is intended to encompass investigation of both inorganic and organic forms of Mn, and includes:- Estimation of the contributions of environmental and occupational Mn exposure to health, disease and dysfunction;- Investigation of the physiological and biochemical mechanisms (including toxicokinetic considerations);- Investigation of the physiological mechanisms that govern manganese accumulation within the brain, with special emphasis on the role of olfactory transport of the metal;- Assessment of the influence of factors, such as age, nutritional deficiencies, pre-existing disease and genetics, that influence individual susceptibility to Mn;- Investigation of the roles and mechanisms of Mn toxicity, including its role in neurodegenerative disease;- Measurement and/or modelling of occupational or environmental exposure;- Identification of existing and novel biomarkers of exposure or adverse effects; and- Development and implementation of new medical approaches to the treatment of excessive Mn exposure.DOGRAM will thus provide an effective and powerful tool for identifying current, and recently completed, research activities and the key workers in relevant fields. As such, it should be of value to stakeholders and researchers, providing a means of minimizing the risk of duplication of effort, and over time should facilitate the identification of changing patterns of research activity, gaps in programmes, opportunities for collaboration, and emerging areas of concern.

EndiChem: Database of UK-based research activity in endocrine disruption
(Cranfield University, 2016-12-07 14:40) Institute of Environment and Health
In 2016, the EndiChem database/website was closed, and this fileset is the csv export of database content (one csv for each table; tblIAddress is indeed empty), preserved as it may still be of value to researchers in this area. The EndiChem project description follows:There is a wealth of funded research currently ongoing in the UK regarding the potential adverse impacts of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the environment on human health and the environment itself. This area of research is supported by past incidents where exposure to environmental sources of EDCs has had a profound impact on both humans and wildlife, e.g. DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane).In a project funded by Defra, the Institute of Environment and Health (IEH) has initiated a literature awareness service and an on-line database (EndiChem) to promote and facilitate interdisciplinary research in this area.The literature awareness service provides quarterly updates of published literature covering a wide range of aspects, including:Human exposure measurement and modellingHuman health effectsBiological mechanisms and toxicity testing Environmental effectsRisk assessment, risk management and risk communicationThe EndiChem database holds information on scientists within the UK who are currently, or have previously, conducted research into the area of EDCs. This aspect of the project attempts to facilitate the establishment of formal or informal collaborations between researchers, including production of joint publications and future grant proposals. In addition, this resource provides valuable information for sponsors and interested stakeholders for identifying gaps in knowledge and areas for future funding opportunities.

Guidance for lay audiences on regulatory instrument selection
(Cranfield University, 2018-07-19 10:56) Pollard, Simon; Taylor, Christopher M.
The purpose of this guide, authored by Dr Chris Taylor, is to help policy makers and regulators develop ideas for achieving policy objectives that make use of the full range of policy and regulatory instruments at your disposal (e.g. emission licences, tradable permit schemes, product labelling, voluntary agreements). It could be used to design new measures, or to identify better ways than at present to achieve objectives that harness the influence of non-government actors. It is intended to spark thinking and debate. You could use this guide to help stimulate your own thinking, or to support a discussion with your team or other stakeholders. The content focuses on describing the range of instruments that could be used and exploring when they are suitable. It focuses on instruments to tackle environmental risks, though many of the approaches described can also be used for other policy objectives. It is assumed that the reader already has a good understanding of the policy objectives to be met, the forms of market failure (e.g. polluters not compensating for damage caused) or other policy considerations that lead to the need for intervention, the stakeholders involved and the environmental, social and economic systems that connect them together. It is also assumed that the option of doing nothing has been considered but is unacceptable. In line with the Defra Policy Cycle, instrument ideas sparked from this guide will need to be developed into full proposals and their impact assessed. This development process is beyond the scope of this guide.
