Paper developers soft-working

The development of biomechanical models derived from continuum formulations for transport of water and charged species in porous media has been carried out for various soft tissues [1-3] and implemented using finite element models (FEMs) [4-8], Such models provide quantitative views of the response of these complex structures that is especially useful in the study of orthopedic, vascular, ocular, and soft tissue substitutes developed by tissue engineering. In this paper a formulation and FEM are described that incorporate and extend these works in a very general model that identifies physical material properties and allows transient analyses of both natural and artificial soft tissue structures. 

The best papers to use with amidol developer are old-style, soft emulsion papers, such as those with minimal hardener, silver-rich papers (papers without excessive dye sensitization), graded bromide papers, long-scale chloride papers, or specially coated papers such as David Lewis Bromoil Paper (see Resources). With any other paper, which is to say most modern chlorobromide papers, amidol works just as well, though not necessarily better than most other developing agents, or combination of developing agents—thus the controversy. 

His laboratory work while a Ph.D. student of Professor Hixon s resulted in five papers, two of which were not part of his thesis research. One of his non-thesis accomphshments was the development of a commercial process for producing P-D-glucopyranose, a substance desired, and rapidly put to use, by the soft drink industry as a sweetener because of its cold water, solubihty. This development probably marked the beginning of his long and extensive association with industry.
