The mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) is known to be heterogeneously distributed both intrinsically (from one individual food item to the next) as well as distributionally (throughout a sample of individual food items) in cereals and cereal-based foods. Therefore, proper sampling and sample comminution are special challenges, but are prerequisites for obtaining sound analytical data. This paper outl...

To reduce the potential of vascular injury without compromising the stone comminution capability of a Dornier HM-3 lithotripter, we have devised a method to suppress intraluminal bubble expansion via in situ pulse superposition. A thin shell ellipsoidal reflector insert was designed and fabricated to fit snugly into the original reflector of an HM-3 lithotripter. The inner surface of the reflec...

Abstract The achievable grinding fineness of spiral jet mills does not only depend on the comminution efficiency in region nozzle jets but is also significantly affected by separation product outlet. Therefore, aim this study to investigate influences outlet diameter and different particle trap rings flow conditions performance, optimizing classifying mills. velocity fields analyzed image veloc...

Abstract Key message Removal of logging residue negatively affected tree diameter and height, but had no significant effect on the basal area subsequent stand (in mid-term). On other hand, different methods mechanical site preparation (bedding, plowing furrows, trenching) growth 1 year after planting, a diameter, in mid-term. Bedding treatments could have positive impact productivity Scots pine...
