Studies in the sensitivity of photographic materials

The sensitivity of photographic emulsions is not measured by the exposure necessary to produce an arbitrarily chosen density. It is measured by a definite value of DID…, which is given by the inflection point of the characteristic curve.For simple characteristic curves, the inertia point is quantitatively related to the inflection point.The most complete measurements of sensitivity are obtainable by a quantic analysis of the shape of the characteristic curve.     

The preparation and immunogenic properties of an ultraviolet-inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine

Details of the preparation and the immunogenic properties of an ultraviolet-inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine are described. The data presented indicate that the SK murine strain of the virus may be inactivated by controlled irradiation and yet retain sufficient immunizing potency to protect mice against 1,000 to 10,000 M.L.D. of the active virus administered intraperitoneally or intranasally.
