These data highlights the design and drawing of a small scale pyrolysis system followed by the data on the characteristics of biochar produced from coconut shells, carambola pruning and mango pruning. The study was conducted in Malaysia that aims for a small scale farmer's application.

The dataset includes 114 experimental results on the compressive strength (MPa) of self-compacting concrete using fly ash. Six input variables include total binder content (kg/m3), fly ash proportion (%), water/binder ratio, fine aggregates content (kg/m3), coarse aggregates content (kg/m3), and superplasticizer content (kg/m3).

Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) is a crucial tool that influences the firms’ short-term requirements. CCC affects the liquidity requirements of every company, every nature of the business, and every size of the business. In this setting, the present research explores the different aspects of CCC and its influence on profitability related to non-financial companies of the S&P BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) SENSEX Index in India during 2006-2020. Investigating the factors that affect the CCC and statistically significant impact on firms' profitability across the nature of the business and size of the business is the main focus of this research. The results of this research that significant negative relation observed between CCC and profitability of the firm in more classifications (Teruel & Solano 2007, Garcia 2011, and Nobance et al. 2011) and shorter length of cash conversion cycle increase the profitability of the firm (Manyo 2013 and Ajanthan & Kumara 2017). It is also concluded that this research that results would differ in different nature of the business (Padachi 2006) and different size of the business.

This is an open database concerning the visit intentions of Chinese Generation Z towards green hotels. The questionnaire, based on the original Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), incorporates multi-dimensional perceptions of green value and corporate social responsibility, consisting of a total of 39 questions. A total of 426 responses were collected through online distribution

It is estimated that in the world there are between 15 and 25 million people infected with HTLV types I and II, and that 90% correspond to asymptomatic carriers, with seroprevalence rates that vary from one place to another. Both retroviruses are found in high- and low-risk populations, with different prevalence figures, which vary in relation to the group, the year of study and the geographical region. Much of the seroprevalence studies of this infection worldwide have been carried out in blood banks; The causative agent(s) and medical significance of the undetermined status of HTLV-I/II are currently unclear. Several possible explanations have been suggested, including: cross-reactivity with other infectious agents, contagion with defective HTLV-I particles, infection with new retroviruses that have high homology with HTLV-I, and spread with HTLV-I in individuals who have viral loads that are below the scope of the methods used for their detection. For many adults this infection can be fatal, since it has the capacity to cause cancer (leukemia) and sometimes it can be in the body and not manifest itself, but it can be transmitted through blood transfusion. The objective of this work was to establish the seroprevalence of antibodies against HTLV I/II and the sociodemographic characteristics through descriptive statistical analysis of the data recorded in the donor database of a blood bank in Valledupar during the year 2018 – 2020. Descriptive observational quantitative study, in which the seroprevalence of 48,657 donors was analyzed. The prevalence of HTLV I/II in the donors was estimated taking into account their origin in Valledupar and the department of Cesar in general, estimating that they contributed 41.75% and 30.10% of the reactive cases respectively. Regarding blood donors, a greater frequency of the male gender was observed with 75.06% between the ages of 19 to 24 years, these donors being voluntary and habitual. Among the donors who went to the blood bank, it was analyzed that 93.08% had social security. On the other hand, this study showed that donors between 61 and 65 years old obtained a minimal participation (1.08%) in the years studied. In the years studied, seroprevalence was varied; In 2018 the prevalence was 41.75%, in the period of 2019 and 2020 a prevalence of 29.13% was maintained. The seroprevalence obtained of HTLV I/II infection in blood donors in the study years was 0.21%, highlighting that in 2018 the prevalence was higher. However, the seroprevalence percentage obtained with respect to the number of donors is minimal in relation to the population studied. However, knowing the epidemiological situation of these retroviruses in all these populations could influence decision-making at the public health level to implement efficient prevention, diagnosis and medical care schemes for people infected by HTLV I/II.

The data deposited in this library represent the physico-chemical and functional analyses of various samples derived from wheat and coconut. Indeed, 5 samples flours were formulated from wheat and coconut flours using a mixture design. The flours formulated were intended for the production of cookies with improved nutritional and energy values to fight against malnutrition. In order to generate these data, we assumed that adding coconut flour up to a certain percentage would improve the nutritional value, physical and functional properties and applicability of wheat flour. The data generated suggest that above 20% substitution, the functional properties of the blend show that it is no longer suitable for breadmaking, although certain nutritional properties are improved. These data provide an initial indication to industrialists and small-scale producers alike of the rate of substitution of wheat flour by coconut flour, so that they can continue to benefit from the bread-making properties of wheat flour. They also offer a solution for the formulation of gluten-reduced foods. African politicians could also draw inspiration from this to develop the coconut production chain and reduce wheat imports.

Urban pluvial flooding is becoming a global concern, exacerbated by urbanization and climate change, especially in rapidly developing areas where existing sewer systems lag behind growth. In order to minimize a system's functional failures during extreme rainfalls, localized engineering solutions are required for urban areas chronically suffering from pluvial floods. This study critically evaluates the Deep Tunnel Sewer System (DTSS) as a robust gray infrastructure solution for enhancing urban flood resilience, with a case study in the Gangnam region of Seoul, South Korea. To do so, we integrated a one-dimensional sewer model with a rapid flood spreading model to identify optimal routes and conduit diameters for the DTSS, focusing on four flood-related metrics: the total flood volume, the flood duration, the peak flooding rate, and the number of flooded nodes. Our research also developed the Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) surfaces in three dimensions, providing a correlation between simulated flood-related metrics and design rainfall characteristics to distinguish the effect of DTSS on flood risk reduction. Our findings demonstrate how highly engineered solutions can enhance urban flood resilience, but they may still face challenges during extreme events. This study contributes valuable insights to assist in rational decision-making and emergency management in the face of increasing urban pluvial flood risks.
