“…For instance, the median lethal dose of total body γ-irradiation within 60 days (LD50/60) in humans falls between 2.5-5 Gy [4], whereas in C57BL/6 mice, the median lethal dose within 30 days (LD50/30) is approximately 8 Gy [5]. The region surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi reactors sustained radiation levels that could have certainly been harmful to humans, with doses estimated as high as 400 mGy/year [6], and well above the 50 mGy/yr U.S.NRC limit. It is likely that it will take decades to decay without proper cleanup, therefore people who return to settle or work in the evacuated regions receiving 100 mGy/yr could receive a cumulative dose up to 1 Gy over a 10 year period, which could pose a large biological hazard.…”

The rising levels of radiation exposure, specifically for medical treatments and accidental exposures, have added great concern for the long term risks of bone fractures. Both the bone marrow and bone architecture are devastated following radiation exposure. Even sub-lethal doses cause a deficit to the bone marrow microenvironment, including a decline in hematopoietic cells, and this deficit occurs in a dose dependent fashion. Certain cell phenotypes though are more susceptible to radiation damage, with mesenchymal stem cells being more resilient than the hematopoietic stem cells. The decline in total bone marrow hematopoietic cells is accompanied with elevated adipocytes into the marrow cavity, thereby inhibiting hematopoiesis and recovery of the bone marrow microenvironment. Poor bone marrow is also associated with a decline in bone architectural quality. Therefore, the ability to maintain the bone marrow microenvironment would hinder much of the trabecular bone loss caused by radiation exposure, ultimately decreasing some comorbidities in patients exposed to radiation.

“…Similar results were obtained for ambrotype A2, on the area of the necklace. Burgess (1861), in his ambrotype manual, presents some recipes for preparing iodized collodion with iodide of potassium alone or mixed with other salts of iodine. Wet collodion was primarily an iodide process but the addition of lesser amounts of bromides contributed to a greater sensitivity to the blue-green hues, giving the impression of a general gain in sensitivity (Osterman & Romer, 2007).…”

“…The effect occurs because the white areas of the negative image are transparent and become dark when laid on a black background, contrasting with the dark areas that contain the silver image particles which reflect light and appear bright when backed (Taft, 1938). For the cheaper ambrotypes, a black varnish was applied in order to obtain a dark background, either on the opposite side of the collodion layer or directly on top of it, although the latter option was less popular (Burgess, 1861; Taft, 1938). For the more expensive items, a black paper, japanned metal, or a piece of dark velvet could be placed on the back of the picture.…”

Unveiling the Ambrotype: Characterization of Two 19th Century Photographs

et al. 2018

This work used a multi-analytical approach to characterize two 19th century ambrotypes and was motivated by the lack of insight on these historical objects. Photographic imaging and optical microscopy (OM) were used to identify abrasions, cracks related to reticulation, tarnishing, and other aspects associated to production and degradation processes. With variable pressure scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) these processes were seen with great detail and further characterized. Elemental point analysis and elemental mapping showed that the photosensitive material used was silver iodide. Degradation compounds were found as silver and chlorine-containing compounds. In one of the items, the tarnishing area also contained redeposited silver in a ring-shape surrounding a nucleus rich in silver, copper, and sulfur, in addition to copper-based salts. EDS analyses also identified that the supports were common soda-lime-silica glasses, refined with arsenic; and showed that a pigment rich in iron was used in both items to hand color the cheeks, extended with aluminum silicates alone or mixed with barium sulfate. The μ-Raman study pointed out that a synthetic Mars pigment was employed. μ-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analyses identified collodion as the binder. Shellac was used as a protective varnish in one of the items and a gum was possibly employed on the other. Bitumen was used for the background in one ambrotype.

“…As rude as coming out may have seemed to many straight people in the early days of the LGBT movement, behavior that was rude by design did not become a centerpiece of gay activism until the AIDS crisis during the 1980s and 1990s, perhaps most visibly in the actions organized by ACT UP (Burgess 1985a). After more than a decade of important advances in gay rights, the legal and political climate had drastically shifted for gay people as a result of uncertainty and anxiety in the US public about the origins and communicability of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), which first became known to the public in 1981.…”

This essay critically examines Keith Bybee's All Judges Are Political, Except When They Are Not. Although Bybee's creative use of the cultural form of courtesy helps us better understand the consensus‐building and legitimating features of rule‐of‐law systems, it overlooks the role that rude dissent can play in exposing the violent, exclusionary, and materially disadvantaging aspects of such systems. Using examples of outing closeted public figures and the rude AIDS activism of the 1990s, this essay explores the rule of law from the perspective of those who are subject to it.
