The purpose of this study was to compare the influence of two different paddle wheel geometries on the distribution behavior of a model powder within the filling chamber of the modified feed frame of a rotary tablet press. Moreover, both paddle wheels were compared regarding their influence on the resulting tablet mass during the tableting process. Insights are provided regarding the influence of the paddle wheel geometry on the powder distribution to optimize the die filling process. Avicel PH 102 served as model powder. A laser triangulator was used to scan the powder surface level within the feed frame and, combined with the determination of the angle position of the paddle wheel, an in-house written software was used to calculate the powder surface profiles and filling levels. Two experimental setups, one based on the filling chamber filled with a defined amount of powder (offline) and one using the filling chamber during tableting (inline) were applied. Both paddle wheel geometries caused a significantly different distribution behavior of the powder within the filling chamber. The tablets obtained with the round rod filling wheel showed significantly higher tablet masses and significantly lower standard deviations. The inflow of powder into the filling chamber appeared to be improved with the round rod filling wheel. Under the applied experimental conditions, the round rod filling wheel showed obvious advantages compared to that with flat rods in terms of the uniformity of tablet masses and the extent of die filling.

Department of Hydraulic and Sanitary Engineering, Poznan University of Life Sciences, Piatkowska St. 94A, 60-649, Poznan, Poland. Electronic address:
The paper presents a proposal to modify a field method of testing the condition of activated sludge using a 30-min volume of sludge (settling test). To verify the validity of the modified method of testing the condition of activated sludge, field tests were performed in two onsite wastewater treatment plants. In these plants, the reaction chambers were fed by gravity from the primary sedimentation tank throughout the day.

Effect of dynamic pulsation and milk flow rate switch-point settings on milking duration and post-milking teat condition.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of dynamic pulsation settings that increased the open phase and reduced the closed phase of pulsation during the peak milk flow period together with increasing the milk flow rate switch-point for cluster detachment on milking duration and teat condition after milking. The present study filled current gaps in knowledge by informing on the effects of both milk flow rate switch-points and dynamic pulsation together in one experiment, while presenting data on milking performance, strip milk, teat condition and vacuum levels in the cluster during milking. To this end, 4 treatments consisting of different milk flow rate switch-points and pulsator settings combinations were deployed across 4 groups of 24 cows for 8 weeks.

Diaphragmatic rupture during labor is an exceptionally rare condition, with a limited number of cases reported in the literature. A recent review underscores the rarity of this complication and emphasizes the associated challenges in diagnosis and management. This case report presents a postpartum diaphragmatic rupture, focusing on the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges it poses, particularly in the context of unsupervised deliveries.

This study investigated the influence of the filling ratio of the working chamber and ball diameter in vibratory shot peening (VSP) on select properties of the surface layer. The tested material was 30HGSA steel, which is effectively used in the aviation industry. The following were analyzed: the surface roughness parameters, the shape of the Abbott-Firestone curve, the bearing area ratio Smr, the microhardness distribution, the microhardness on the surface, and the residual stress σ on the surface.
