Many parameters are considered when developing a roller compaction process. However, roll serration volume is generally not considered when using serrated rolls. It was hypothesized that serration volume of concavo-convex rolls can have a significant effect on ribbon thickness due to differences in nip angle. Experiments were conducted to investigate ribbon thickness using different roll sets having a range of serration volumes. Roll sets with approximately twice the serration volume produce ribbons 20-25% greater in thickness. These results correlated with physical measurements taken of the serrations from each set. Thus, differences in roll serration volume can significantly affect ribbon thickness.

Zr-2.5%Nb pressure tubes (PTs) house uranium fuel bundles in the fuel channels of CANDU nuclear reactors. Preventing a failure mode caused by contact of the PT with an outer calandria tube (CT) is performed by inspection using eddy current (EC) testing and ultrasonic testing (UT) to measure the PT-CT gap.

Elastic recovery ( ) has been investigated and discussed extensively in the field of tableting. However, until now only limited data is available regarding in roll compaction. Therefore, a previously established in-line measurement technique was rolled out to further investigate the kinetics of in roll compaction and the effects of specific compaction force ( ) and roll speed ( ).

High-moisture (HM) extrusion is the dominant industrial process to create structured plant-based protein products that can be used for animal-free meat alternatives. Yet, the underlying mechanisms, such as phase separation, that govern structure formation in plant-protein extrudates, are still poorly understood. Current hypotheses require experimental data in order to be verified, but measurement techniques able to quantify phase-separated anisotropic protein extrudates are lacking, or have yet to be validated.

Article Synopsis
- The prion protein (PrP) is linked to neurodegenerative prion diseases, but its role in healthy cells, particularly in the retina, is unclear.
- In this study, PrP was found at the junctions of photoreceptors and bipolar cells, indicating a possible involvement in synaptic function.
- Deleting the PrP gene in mice led to significant changes in electrical responses (ERG) of photoreceptors and bipolar cells, especially in cone-dominant pathways, suggesting functional impacts without altering retinal structure.
Controlling the roll-to-helix transformation in electron-beam-patterned gel-based micro-ribbons.

Helix formation has been of ongoing interest because of its role in both natural and synthetic materials systems. It has been extensively studied in gel-based ribbons where swelling anisotropies drive out-of-plane bending. In contrast to approaches based on photolithography or mechanical bilayer construction, we use electron-beam patterning to create microscale ribbons at ∼1-100 μm length scales in pure homopolymer precursor films of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA).
