A novel approach has been developed for evaluating the milling behaviour of pharmaceutical powders based on their material and mechanical properties obtained by single particle impact testing. Milling behaviour of two widely used pharmaceutical excipients, namely microcrystalline cellulose and alpha-lactose monohydrate has been analysed in an oscillatory single ball mill. It is found that the milling behaviour of these two powders can be described by analogy with a first-order rate process except for alphaLM at 18Hz of milling frequency. At the same time, single particle impact testing has been used to infer the material properties that are related to breakage. The milling rate of these powders is found to correlate well with the parameter representing the material properties including the particle size, density, hardness and critical stress intensity factor. This provides the basis for a novel approach towards analyzing the milling behaviour of a material based on a simple and reliable approach.

Does familiarity-detection flip attention inward? The familiarity-flip-of-attention account of the primacy effect in memory for repetitions.

In cognitive psychology, research on attention is shifting from focusing primarily on how people orient toward stimuli in the environment toward instead examining how people orient internally toward memory representations. With this new shift the question arises: What factors in the environment send attention inward? A recent proposal is that one factor is cue familiarity-detection (Cleary, Irving & Mills, Cognitive Science, 47, e13274, 2023). Within this theoretical framework, we reinterpret a decades-old empirical pattern-a primacy effect in memory for repetitions-in a novel way.

Purpose: The current study aimed to compare modified Polyether-ether-ketone's fracture resistance and failure mode versus lithium disilicate glass-ceramic endocrowns.
Materials And Methods: A total of 16 butt-joint endocrown specimens on mandibular second molar teeth were fabricated and divided into two equivalent groups; Pressable modified Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) (BioHPP) and Pressable lithium disilicate glass ceramic (IPS e.max Press).

: This study aims to broaden the knowledge on co-amorphous phospholipid systems (CAPSs) by exploring the formation of CAPSs with a broader range of poorly water-soluble drugs, celecoxib (CCX), furosemide (FUR), nilotinib (NIL), and ritonavir (RIT), combined with amphiphilic phospholipids (PLs), including soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC), hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine (HPC), and mono-acyl phosphatidylcholine (MAPC). : The CAPSs were initially prepared at equimolar drug-to-phospholipid (PL) ratios by mechano-chemical activation-based, melt-based, and solvent-based preparation methods, i.e.

Objective: Investigation of the mechanical properties of occlusal veneers made from zirconia with varying translucency, bonded to different tooth substrates.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-four extracted molars were divided into two groups: preparation within enamel (E) or extending into dentin (D). Veneers were milled from four zirconia ceramics (n = 8): 5Y-TZP (HT), a multilayer of 5 and 3Y-TZP (GT), 3Y-TZP (LT), and 4Y-TZP (MT).

Background: Use of health applications (apps) to support healthy lifestyles has intensified. Different app features may support effectiveness, including gamification defined as the use of game elements in a non-game situation. Whether health apps with gamification can impact behaviour change and cardiometabolic risk factors remains unknown.
