    Notes: Abstract Mammography and accurate microcalcification detection require very good spatial resolution. We have compared the diagnostic capabilities of reduced-exposure, third-generation, 5 cycles/mm computed radiography (CR) phosphor plates with conventional screen-film in 67 patients. No difference in diagnostic accuracy was detected. The digital characteristics of storage phosphor plates erabled us to study the relationship between contrast and spatial resolution. We developed a computer program to identify a single 100 μm pixel in a digital image and assign various gray levels to that pixel. Using this model, we determined that, for our 5 cycles/mm CR system, the imaged contrast of a 100 μm object was 62% of the original contrast. Current 5 cycles/mm phosphor plate systems cannot adequately detect microcalcifications that approximate 100 μm or smaller unless a magnification technique is used.

    Notes: Cellulose polymers which are commonly found in cosmetics can act as potential targets for microbial attack and sometimes support extensive growth under suitable conditions. As a result, cellulosic substances can be converted from a stiff gel into a running liquid, thereby rendering the cosmetic unfit for use.To provide an understanding of the biodeterioration of cellulose in cosmetics, this paper reviews the structure of cellulose, mechanism of enzyme degradation and effects of structural properties of cellulose on the rate of hydrolysis. At least three different types of enzymes (exo-β-1, 4-glucanase, endo-β-1,4-glucanase and β-glucosidase) are involved in the degradation of crystalline cellulose. Enzyme production by three fungi belonging to the genera Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium is described.
