The study included semistructured interviews with 43 people with stage IV breast cancer or stage III to IV lung cancer and 8 health care professionals. Round 1 assessed the appropriateness, relative importance, relevance, and comprehensiveness of an initial set of ESM items that were developed based on the existing questionnaires. Round 2 tested the comprehensibility of ESM items. Round 3 tested the usability of the digital ESM-AC questionnaire using the m-Path app. Analyses included descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis. The dataset contains interview transcripts and raw ...

Insight into the microbial species diversity of fermented meats is not only paramount to gain control over quality development, but also to better understand the link with processing technology and geographical origin. To study the composition of the microbial communities, the use of culture-independent methods is increasingly popular but often still suffers from drawbacks, such as a limited taxonomic resolution. The aim of this study was to apply a previously developed high-throughput amplicon sequencing (HTS) method targeting the 16S rRNA and tuf genes to characterize the bacterial ...

The purpose of this dataset was to optimise a method for the analysis of vitamin A, in the form of retinyl palmitate, in fortified cereal products. Hereto, a reversed-phase HPLC procedure to separate retinyl palmitate (analyte) and retinyl acetate (internal standard) was optimised. In a next step , two extraction procedures, using either acetone/methanol or chloroform/methanol as extraction solvent, were optimised and validated. Three different matrices were investigated: a model system consisting of retinyl palmitate, oil and wheat bran, fortified bread and fortified cookies. All files ...

A vegetation phenology dataset for the Northern Hemisphere( the latitude ranging from 30°N to 90°N, the longitude ranging from -180°E to 180°E), including start of season (SOS_merge), SOS uncertainty range (SOS_merge_r), end of season (EOS_merge), and EOS uncertainty range (EOS_merge_r). This dataset is generated by merging four vegetation phenology datasets including MODIS MCD12Q2(https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/mcd12q2v061/), MEaSUREs VIPPHEN(https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/products/vipphen_ndviv004/), GIMMS NDVI3g(http://data.globalecology.unh.edu/data/GIMMS_NDVI3g_Phenology/), GIMMS ...

This data set contains all set-up files and necessary scripts to run the simulations performed in the publication "A method to determine local aerodynamic force coefficients from fiber-resolved 3D flow simulations around a staple fiber yarn", published in Multibody System Dynamics.

Given the widespread use of soy protein concentrate (SPCs) in the industrial production of meat analogues, it is expected that understanding relationships between raw material physicochemical properties and extrudate characteristics could guide the development of soy protein-rich ingredients with properties tailored to specific applications. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between the physicochemical properties of SPCs, obtained by applying different lab-scale preparation conditions, and the characteristics of extrudates produced from these SPCs. This dataset includes: ...

This dataset presents crowdsourced data from the Leuven.cool network, a citizen science network of around 100 low-cost weather stations (Fine Offset WH2600) distributed across Leuven, Belgium. The data was quality controlled and corrected by a newly developed station specific temperature quality control (QC) and correction procedure. The procedure consists of three levels removing implausible measurements, while also correcting for inter (in between stations) and intra (station-specific) station temperature biases by means of a random-forest approach.

During spontaneous meat fermentation, diverse microbial communities develop over time. These communities consist mainly of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), of which the species composition is influenced by the fermentation temperature and the level of acidification. Recent development and application of amplicon-based high-throughput sequencing (HTS) methods have allowed to gain deeper insights into the microbial communities of fermented meats. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of different fermentation temperatures and ...

Introduction: T cell Ig and ITIM domain receptor (TIGIT) is a next-generation immune checkpoint predominantly expressed on activated T cells and NK cells, exhibiting an unfavorable prognostic association with various malignancies. Despite the emergence of multiple TIGIT-blocking agents entering clinical trials, only a fraction of patients responded positively to anti-TIGIT therapy. Consequently, an urgent demand arises for noninvasive techniques to quantify and monitor TIGIT expression, facilitating patient stratification and enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Small antigen binding moieties such ...
