A comprehensive review of characterization techniques for particle adhesion and powder flowability.

The study of the flow properties of particles is crucial because it directly impacts the efficiency and product quality of various industrial particulate processes, such as continuous manufacturing of solid oral dosages. However, challenges arise due to the flow behavior of cohesive particles, which tend to adhere to surfaces or other particles, necessitating careful process design. The importance of selecting appropriate measurement pathways for accurate characterization has been overlooked.

Sorghum rhizosphere effects reduced soil bacterial diversity by recruiting specific bacterial species under low nitrogen stress.

Rhizosphere microbiota play a pivotal role in promoting plant growth and defending against pathogens, but their responses to abiotic environmental stress remain largely elusive. Here, we investigated the influences of low-N stress on rhizosphere bacteria of six sorghum cultivars in a glasshouse experiment. The alpha diversity of bacteria (as revealed by Shannon diversity and Chao1 richness indices) was remarkably lower in rhizosphere soils than in bulk soils, and was significantly higher under low-N stress than under N addition.
