Face evaluation and first impression generation can be affected by multiple face elements such as invariant facial features, gaze direction and environmental context; however, the composite modulation of eye gaze and illumination on faces of different gender and ages has not been previously investigated. We aimed at testing how these different facial and contextual features affect ratings of social attributes. Thus, we created and validated the Bi-AGI Database, a freely available new set of male and female face stimuli varying in age across lifespan from 18 to 87 years, gaze direction and illumination conditions. Judgments on attractiveness, femininity-masculinity, dominance and trustworthiness were collected for each stimulus. Results evidence the interaction of the different variables in modulating social trait attribution, in particular illumination differently affects ratings across age, gaze and gender, with less impact on older adults and greater effect on young faces.

Data discussed and analyzed in the paper Degli Antoni, G. & Vittucci Marzetti, G. (2022), Estimating the effect on happiness through question randomization: An application to blood donation, Social Science & Medicine, DOI: 10.1016/j.socscimed.2022.115255

This dataset contains the raw data resulting from the picking of benthic foraminifera within the Pleistocene deposits of the Stirone River (Emilia-Romagna, Italy). The aim of this project is to test foraminifera as Indirect Palaeo-Seagrass Indicators (IPSIs). Foraminiferal analyses, based on these data, focused on two different biofacies: a Thalassinoides biofacies, characterised by an oligotypic assemblage (samples R) and a Pinna biofacies, that shows high biodiversity and represents an infralittoral soft bottom colonised by marine phanerogams (samples S). Several indexes have been calculated using these data, such as the IndexEP, the modified FORAM index (FI’), the “long vs. short life-span index” (ILS), and the K/REXT (keeled/rounded morphotypes). Morphotype-based analysis has been provided, too. Among the tested indexes, the latter (K/REXT) proved to be the most reliable IPSI, considering also the presence of morphotype A*, permanently attached, encrusting foraminifera and the abundance of Rosalinidae.

The questionnaire supported hypotheses based on the Stakeholder Theory. It was proposed that the stakeholder pressures have an effect in the performance of the Mexican Agribusiness. The object of the study was the employees of Agribusiness in the northwest of Mexico. The data included sociodemographic variables and five constructs. The sociodemographic variables recollected in the instrument are gender (GEN), and years of experience (EXP). The scale of gender was 1 for female and 2 for male. The variable years of experience was a ratio variable on years. The constructs were stakeholder pressure (DSI16-DSI20), circular economy principles (PRAC31-PRAC40), economic performance (REF1 to REF10), environmental performance (PADI21-PADI30), and intellectual/social performance (DSI11-DSI15). These constructs were measured with a 5-point Likert scales (1-not at all to 5- significant).

Electron spin resonance data on a single Crystal of CrBr3 recorded as function of the temperature and crystal rotation. Information about magnetic anisotropy, 2D dimensionality were exctracted from the analysis of the resonance field, resonance linewidth and ESR intensity.

The present superoxo_complexes.tar.gz file contains the optimized structures of the end_on and side_on oxygen complexes on TM@4N-Gr at the PBE or PBE+U level of theory.

This dataset contains a set of data related to the characterization of the 2-photon polymerized microstructures for the IN2SIGHT project. Mostly, they are supplementary data for publications.
