Abstract

Six developing solutions suitable for automatic X-ray processors with high developer temperature have been tested during a period of 14 days without replenishment of the chemicals. The results are presented as blackening of dental test films with an image of an aluminium step wedge (penetrometer). Both speed and contrast could be measured in this manner. Freshly mixed solutions showed marked differences in processing of films where the developers Dürr, Readymatic (Kodak) and Tetenal (Mediquipe) were best. After 14 days in the processor, the developing effect was poor for most of the tested liquids, due to atmospheric oxidation. The best images, with the least radiation, will be obtained with freshly mixed chemicals suitable for the films used. Besides a lower radiation dose to the patient, due to a short exposure time, blurring caused by the patient's moving will be reduced. Other factors such as the pack and prices must also be taken into consideration in the choice of radiographic solutions.

Multicolor single-molecule spectroscopy with alternating laser excitation for the investigation of interactions and dynamics.

We have developed confocal multicolor single-molecule spectroscopy with optimized detection sensitivity on three spectrally distinct channels for the study of biomolecular interactions and FRET between more than two molecules. Using programmable acousto-optical devices as beamsplitter and excitation filter, we overcome some of the limitations of conventional multichroic beamsplitters and implement rapid alternation between three laser lines. This enables to visualize the synthesis of DNA three-way junctions on a single-molecule basis and to resolve seven stoichiometric subpopulations as well as to quantify FRET in the presence of competing energy transfer pathways. Furthermore, the ability to study correlated molecular movements by monitoring several distances within a biomolecular complex simultaneously is demonstrated.

Color naming reflects optimal partitions of color space.

The nature of color categories in the world's languages is contested. One major view holds that color categories are organized around universal focal colors, whereas an opposing view holds instead that categories are defined at their boundaries by linguistic convention. Both of these standardly opposed views are challenged by existing data. Here, we argue for a third view based on a proposal by Jameson and D'Andrade [Jameson KA, D'Andrade RG (1997) in Color Categories in Thought and Language, eds Hardin CL, Maffi L (Cambridge Univ Press, Cambridge, U.K.), pp 295-319]: that color naming across languages reflects optimal or near-optimal divisions of an irregularly shaped perceptual color space. We formalize this idea, test it against color-naming data from a broad range of languages and show that it accounts for universal tendencies in color naming while also accommodating some observed cross-language variation.
