Results of dielectric relaxation studies in this laboratory on binary aqueous solutions are summarized to look for indications of the presence of bound water. The solutes include simple inorganic and organic electrolytes, polyelectrolytes, small organic molecules and polymers. It is shown that even simple solutions exhibit a great variety of dielectric effects. It therefore appears to be impossible to unambiguously discuss dielectric spectra of complex biological tissues in which different polarization mechanisms overlap. The results for solutions taken as models for biological systems indicate two types of affected water which might be considered 'bound': dielectrically saturated water in strong electric fields and water in regions with a high concentration of other molecules. Characteristics of both states of water in mixtures are presented.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a stepwise rise in temperature on three film types processed in six different processing solutions and to identify the combinations of film, solution and temperature which produced the best results in terms of radiographic contrast and relative film speed. The film types were Agfa Dentus M2, Flow X-ray and Kodak Ultra Speed while the processing solutions were Agfa, Dürr, EBX, Kolchem, MEMS and Pro-tech. An aluminium step-wedge was exposed under standardised conditions. Processing was carried out in a Dürr 245L automatic processor with variable temperature settings from 25 degrees to 35 degrees C. Unexposed films were processed at each temperature setting to determine the base plus fog values. Densitometric readings were taken using a digital densitometer, and the base plug fog values subtracted from each reading. Radiographic contrast and relative film speed were calculated and the data obtained subjected to statistical analysis using Duncan's Multiple Range Test. It could be concluded that, as the processing solution temperature rose from 25 degrees C to 35 degrees C, both radiographic contrast and relative film speed increased. The highest radiographic contrast was obtained by Agfa film in Kolchem solution at 35 degrees C, while Kodak Ultra Speed film in MEMS solution at 35 degrees C gave the highest relative film speed. An acceptable base plus fog level of 0.25 was obtained in the case of Agfa film in combination with Agfa, Dürr and Pro-tech solutions and Flow X-ray film with Dürr solutions. All the other combinations produced a base plug fog level higher than 0.25.
