Improving efficiency of vapour phase soldering ovens with pressure and temperature-based process monitoring
During vapor phase reflow soldering used in electronics manufacturing, the process control of ovens is usually based on temperature measurements, which can be insufficient due to the saturation differences in the temperature and the vapour concentration. Therefore, the ovens use extended cycle times for process identification to ensure the proper formation of solder joints.Our work offers a solution to eliminate the idle time by investigating the hydrostatic pressure conditions in the process zone. A pressure measurement system was developed for vapour phase soldering ovens, which can monitor the vapour pressure changes by a gauge-type pressure sensor with fused temperature measurement. It works as an IoT-enabled node for data logging and subsequent control.Thermocouples were placed at different points of the VPS tank. The measuring points were located in the heat transfer fluid (TC1), and above the soldering level (TC”). TC1 in the Galden liquid gives status about the temperature of the Galden during the preheating of the oven for soldering. TC2 is used to define the start and the end of the soldering cycle. A measurement probe (tube) was placed in the vapour space and the upper end is connected to a sensor, then the vapour generation causes gauge pressure in the system. This additional pressure is proportional to density and the height of the vapour space.The fusion of the hydrostatic pressure values with the temperature values allowed us to identify and reduce the idle time by approximately 60 s, which is 15–20% of the total soldering cycle time. This increases the oven's yield by 15-20%, reduces the system's power consumption by 15–20%, and reduces time above liquidus of the solder by ~35%.The dataset consists:· the published figures in the article in vectorial format· the original source files of the measurements (temperature and pressure) and the published figures (in SVG format) </p

Antibiotics/coccidiostat exposure induces gut-brain axis remodeling for Akt/mTOR activation and BDNF-mediated neuroprotection in APEC-infected turkeys
The poultry industry relies extensively on antibiotics and coccidiostats as essential tools for disease management and productivity enhancement. However, increasing concerns about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the toxicological safety of these substances have prompted a deeper examination of their broader impacts on animal and human health. This study investigates the toxicological effects of antibiotics and coccidiostats on the gutbrain axis and microbiota in turkeys, with a particular focus on molecular mechanisms that may influence neurochemical and inflammatory responses. Our findings reveal that enrofloxacin exposure leads to the upregulation of BDNF, suggesting a neuroprotective effect, while monensin treatment significantly increased eEF2 kinase expression, indicative enhanced neuronal activity. In turkeys infected with Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), early administration of doxycycline and monensin significantly upregulated the mTOR/BDNF and Akt/mTOR pathways, along with elevated histamine levels, underscoring their role in inflammatory responses modulation. However, treatments administered at 50 days post-hatch did not significantly alter protein levels, though both enrofloxacin and monensin increased serotonin and dopamine levels, suggesting potential neurotoxicological impacts on mood and cognitive functions. These results highlight the complex interactions between antibiotic use, gut microbiota alterations, and neurochemical pathways, with toxicological implications for environmental pollution and public health. This research provides critical insights into the potential toxic effects of prolonged antibiotic and coccidiostat exposure in poultry production, emphasizing the need for responsible use to mitigate risks to ecosystems and human health.</p
Supplementary data for "Molecular insights into the remarkable thermostability of Ts2631 endolysin" by Karolina Ciemińska, Anna-Karina Kaczorowska, Lukasz Pawel Kozlowski, Tadeusz Kaczorowski, Magdalena Plotka
In the antibiotic resistance crisis, novel solutions to combat bacterial infections are explored, one of which includes the use of endolysins, enzymes derived from bacteriophages that destroy peptidoglycan, a vital bacterial structure. Of particular interest are endolysins that exhibit exceptional thermostability. An example of such endolysin is Ts2631 from bacteriophage vB_Tsc2631 infecting extremophile Thermus scotoductus. The Ts2631 endolysin melting temperature, representing the point at which the protein is equally folded and unfolded, is between 99.8°C and 104.7°C, depending on the solvent. Proline, arginine and tryptophan are known to be involved in protein stabilization. Therefore, we obtained single substitution variants of Ts2631 endolysin by replacing aforementioned residues with alanine. The lytic activity of 31 variants was analyzed against Thermus thermophilus HB8 in turbidity reduction assay. Variants R51A, W53A and R82A revealed reduced activity at 60°C. Five other substitutions R20A, W102A, W109A, P140A, and W145A displayed decreased functionality after heating at 90°C. The thermodynamic stability of all proteins was analyzed using nano differential scanning fluorimetry (nanoDSF). The variants with reduced activity after heat treatment also exhibited significantly lower melting temperatures compared to the wild-type enzyme (ΔTm up to -24°C). Another 24 substitution variants of conserved residues, whose activity was determined in Ts2631 endolysin previous studies, were included in the nanoDSF experiments. The study confirmed that changes of residues involved in direct Zn2+ binding (H30, H131 and C139) have a destabilizing effect on the structure of the Ts2631 endolysin. Substitutions of residues located mainly near the catalytic center of the protein lead to a decrease in its thermostability, which consequently affects the lytic activity of Ts2631. We also found that arginine R20 is involved in peptidoglycan binding. This is the first study of the thermostability mechanism of an endolysin isolated from extremophilic environment.</p
