YELLOW.
YELLOW.—Fustic chips, weld or dyer's weed, tumeric, or Dutch pink. GREEN may be produced by mixing the requisite portion of blue with either of the preceding.
The Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine, May 1855, Collected Vol. 4, p.63. [x]
Scientific American (1853) notes these dye receipts are largely cribbed from other publications, including the Baltimore Sun that year, and are incorrect, thus "will assuredly do evil". They correct thus:
GREEN.—The fustic and blue spoken of above, will dye silk and wool, the former hot, the latter by boiling, the blue must be the sulphate of indigo. Yellow on cotton is dyed with the bichromate of potash, and the acetate, or nitrate of lead; or with yellow oak bark, and the sulpho-chloride of tin.
“Receipts for Dyeing” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 8 No. 48 (August 1853), p. 384 [x]
As a rule, I suggest you look for contemporary advice when attempting to recreate natural dyes from historical sources, and always utilise proper safety equipment and ventilation.
It is quite obviously not safe to handle lead and other chemical products.

Why Patch testing consultation Is Important
When patch testing isn’t done properly, it can put systems at risk and cause serious problems. This is why it’s important to test patches in a virtual environment before rolling them out in production.
Avoid scratching the patches on your back, as this can irritate the skin and dislodge the patches. You should also take care not to shower or sweat, as this may affect the results.
At-Home Patch Testing
While at-home patch testing consultation tests may help to pinpoint which ingredients you're allergic or sensitive to, it's important to remember that they won't differentiate between an allergy and irritation. "If you're reacting to a product and your skin turns red, itchy or flaky, an at-home patch test might just tell you that you are sensitive to an ingredient," says dermatologist Marisa Garshick.
The test is designed to expose your skin to a range of substances, including nickel sulfate and potassium dichromate, in order to measure your reaction. A negative result indicates that your skin does not have an allergy to any of the chemicals tested. A positive result means that the product or chemical causing your allergy was found. Retesting with additional chemicals is sometimes necessary.
In-Office Patch Testing
The good news is that a dermatologist can help you figure out your allergy triggers in-office. During this type of patch test, we will apply a series of tape strips to your back that have various allergens embedded in them. You will need to wear the patches for 48 hours, and you can’t get them wet (this includes showering or bathing). We’ll mark your skin with ink where the patches are placed so we can make sure they are where they should be.
We can also use patch testing to identify specific allergens for those whose rashes are work-related, such as those who are allergic to metals, latex or adhesives used in their profession. We’ll provide education on how to avoid these allergens and recommend alternative products for you to try.
Symptoms
When a person is allergic to something, it can cause a skin reaction. This is called contact dermatitis and can look like red, itchy, bumpy skin. The rash usually clears up when the offending substance is removed from the skin.
During a patch test, patches are applied to the patient's back. They remain occluding for 48 hours, and the dermatologist reads the results at day 5. Patients must avoid showers, soaking the area or sun exposure while the tests are in place. They should also not take oral antihistamines or steroids, which can interfere with the results.
Results
patch testing allergies identifies the substances or allergens responsible for your contact dermatitis. These substances may include plants; metals, such as nickel in jewelry or buckles; rubber and plastics; cleaning chemicals; fragrances; cosmetics; preservatives; and more. Your doctor will select the allergen series most appropriate for your history and circumstances.
Medications, such as antihistamines and heartburn medicines, can interfere with the results of the test. If you have to take medication, be sure to tell your doctor ahead of time so it can be adjusted if necessary. You should also avoid wetting the area where the patches are placed. Scratching the skin can irritate it and dislodge the patch, resulting in an inaccurate reading.

Lipine publishers|Development and Qualification of an Assay Method for Deferoxamine Mesylate and p-SCN-DFO
Development and Qualification of an Assay Method for Deferoxamine Mesylate and p-SCN-DFO
Tumblr media
Abstract A simple, colorimetric assay method has been developed for deferoxamine mesylate and a related bifunctional chelating agent, p-SCN-DFO. A classic back-titration is performed where an excess amount of a standardized zirconium solution is added to the chelating agent solution. The excess zirconium is then titrated with standard EDTA. A qualification study was undertaken to evaluate the integrity of the method. Accuracy, specificity, and precision were evaluated and found to be excellent. The method is traced back to an analytical primary standard thus avoiding the need to create and use compound-specific reference standards. Keywords: Zirconium; assay; p-SCN-DFO; titration; deferoxamine
Introduction An assay method is a typical quality control test for both raw materials and products in the pharmaceutical industry. It measures the amount of the target substance present in a material. Tracing an assay test to a primary standard lends a high degree of accuracy to the analysis. The reason is primary standards are extremely pure, stable, and have no waters of hydration. Over the years the American Chemical Society has defined several reagents as primary standards. Potassium dichromate and sodium oxalate are primary standards for redox titrations. Tris(hydroxymethyl)amino methane (TRIS) and Potassium hydrogen phthalate are acid-base primary standards. Calcium carbonate is a primary standard for chelometric titrations. Assay tests can also be traced to established reference standards. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) [1] provides reference standards (RS) for official articles in the USP or National Formulary (NF). An RS is typically specified in a monograph for use in the Assay test or an Identification test. An RS is considered 100.0% pure for quantitative applications unless a calculation value for an adjustment is stated on the label. For example, if a specific HPLC purity test shows the purity of the RS is 98.1%, a multiplier of 0.981 must be incorporated into an assay test. USP RSs are available for purchase for legal metrology purposes. The USP states that per the International Vocabulary of Metrology, they are defined as reference standards [2]. There exists a United States Pharmacopeia (USP) monograph for Deferoxamine Mesylate (DFO) [3]. The drug substance is used to treat sudden iron poisoning. It is also used to treat high levels of iron because of numerous blood transfusions. The USP monograph for DFO describes an assay test that is based on the use of a reference standard (Deferoxamine Mesylate RS). There is great value when scientists on different sides of the world can test a product to the same standard. However, since RSs typically lack the chemical properties of a primary standard, assay tests that can be traceable to a primary standard are inherently superior. There is no USP monograph for the related bifunctional chelating agent, p-SCN-DFO. It does not fall under the “official article” definition by the USP [4] That is, it is not considered a drug product, drug substance, dietary ingredient, dietary supplement, excipient, compounded preparation, other ingredient, device, or part of a device. As a result, there is no USP reference standard. DFO and its derivatives (e.g., p-SCN-DFO) are used as raw materials for bioconjugations. They can be conjugated to a peptide or antibody. Both compounds are commonly considered raw materials, critical raw materials, or registered starting materials when used in conjugations. For quality assurance purposes, however, the regulations of a drug substance are commonly placed upon them. Regardless of how they are considered, having an assay test with an appropriate specification on the material is a good idea.
A second goal of this work was to incorporate the use of a standardized zirconium solution into the assay test. Both DFO and p-SCN-DFO can be attached to antibodies and peptides for PET imaging with Zr-89. [5-8] Use of standardized zirconium solution can then demonstrate the molecules’ ability to bind zirconium [9]. The last goal was to qualify the assay method. In the early stages of drug substance development, analytical methods must be based on sound science. When a higher degree of confidence in an analytical method is desired, the methods are qualified. Down the road, when the highest degree of confidence in methods is required, validation is undertaken. The ICH Guidance Document Q2(R1) contains strict requirements for what must go into validating an analytical method [10], the requirements for qualifying a method are not defined. In short, a qualified method is a subset of a validated method. It gives the user more confidence in the reliability of the analytical results [11]. Much debate can go into what subset is appropriate to carry out. Our decision and justification are discussed. Materials and Methods The following reagents were ACS grade: ZrOCl2-8H2O, DMSO, EDTA disodium salt, xylenol orange, nitric acid, calcium carbonate, and hydroxy naphthol blue. Calcium carbonate is a chelometric standard with an assay of 99.95-100.05% on a dried basis. Deferoxamine mesylate was purchased from Millipore Sigma. The compound p-SCN-DFO is available as catalog number B-705 from Macrocyclics Inc. Deferoxamine mesylate RS was purchased from the USP and is catalog number 1166003. Class A volumetric flasks and pipets were used for critical volumes. The quantities used were chosen to optimize the number of significant figures while minimizing the quantity of materials needed for the test.A single EDTA solution was prepared and used by all analysts. Any error associated with this solution preparation or standardization is imparted to all assay test results equally. The solution was standardized using the calcium carbonate chelometric standard after drying. Hydroxy naphthol blue was used as in indicator. A sharp color change from purple to blue denotes the endpoint. Strict instructions for carrying out a test can be found in the supporting information. The zirconium assay method that was developed is a classic back titration. Excess standardized zirconium solution is present in a solution of DFO or p-SCN-DFO. The excess zirconium is titrated with a standardized EDTA solution. Xylenol orange is used as the indicator. A sharp color change from pinkish orange to yellow denotes the endpoint. Based on the volume of EDTA, the concentration of zirconium, and the concentration of EDTA, an apparent formula weight of the original solid DFO or p-SCN-DFO can be calculated. The ratio of the theoretical value to the calculated formula weight can then give an assay value. Strict instructions for carrying out a test can be found in supporting information. Three zirconium solutions were prepared. Analyst one used zirconium solution number one to perform all his/her assay tests on DFO and p-SCN-DFO. Analyst two used zirconium solution two and so on. The titrator that was used was an SI Analytics TITRONIC Basic. The burette holds 20mL and can dose in 0.01mL increments. Since its purchase, the instrument has routinely been tested to meet a 0.5% RSD for dosing small and large volumes. Since the endpoint can be determined with the naked eye, the assay test is performed by manual dosing. However, the titration could be automated with the incorporation of a photo rode if desired. For a residue on ignition test, a crucible with cover was placed at 900°C for two hours to clean. Solid
ZrOCl2-8H2O was dried to obtain an easily weighable solid that had a formula of approximately ZrOCl2- 4H2O based on the results obtained. This solid was weighed in the crucible after cooling. The solid was placed in the furnace for a total of 4 hours. Assuming the residue that remains is pure ZrO2, the percentage Zr in the original solid can be calculated.
Results and Discussion Assay Method Many colorimetric methods have been developed over the years for the determination of zirconium including those in the presence of interfering ions. [12-20] No method was found in the literature that worked for our application. Hundreds of titrations with varying conditions were carried out before settling on the optimal conditions. The method has many of the hallmarks of an ideal colorimetric titration. The titration can be performed quickly (i.e., minutes) so there is no long wait for equilibrium to be achieved. The method is colorimetric so there is no need for a UV/VIS instrument to determine an endpoint. The method is a classic complexometric method that uses EDTA as titrant, so no precipitation/filtration steps are required. The method uses commercial ACS reagents, so no expensive fine chemicals are needed. Lastly, solution preparations are simplified to dissolving solids in aqueous/DMSO solutions. No tricky heating or transfer steps that can add error are needed. The final conditions developed for the DFO and p-SCN-DFO assay test are found in (Tables 1,2). Due to the limited solubility of p-SCN-DFO in water, its sample preparation differs slightly. Conditions in (Table 1,2) are considered the 100% level. The order of addition is critical to prevent the zirconium from turning into an unreactive form in solution. Thus, the solutions or solids must be added in order from top to bottom.Preparation of Zirconium Solution The preparation of solutions of many metal ions can easily be prepared from their chloride or nitrate salts. The preparation of zirconium solutions is not straightforward. Unlike some transition metals, zirconium does not form a simple aqua ion in solution. The aqueous speciation depends on several factors such as pH, concentration, and counterions. [21-25] This work does not attempt to identify what species exist in solution under the conditions employed. It was sufficient to demonstrate the conditions we used were repeatable when preparing solutions. It was critical to prepare a zirconium solution that can easily be prepared and standardized. Originally, a NIST-traceable zirconium standard was tested. These standards are commonly used for ICP quantification of zirconium. Despite their preparation in acidic solutions, we could not come close to the zirconium value listed on the certificate of analysis. The solution preparation of this standard is not reliable for our purposes. Instead, we decided to prepare our own solution from ACS grade chemicals. The best solution preparation was made by dissolving ZrOCl2-8H2O in 1.0N nitric acid. ZrOCl2-8H2O was chosen over ZrO (NO3)2-xH2O because the latter is difficult to dissolve in acid solutions. It can be dissolved in a reasonable time only after heating. ZrOCl2-8H2O, on the other hand, dissolves readily in acidic solutions. Nitric acid was chosen over hydrochloric acid. When zirconium solutions are prepared in hydrochloric acid, the titration endpoint takes minutes. While it is a sharp endpoint, each drop of titrant near the end takes minutes to discern if the endpoint was reached. Since not every analyst has the same amount of patience, the nitric acid solution preparation was chosen instead. As a result, endpoints are both sharp and immediate. Regarding acid content, 1.0N acid was optimal although 2N HNO3 was also acceptable. When zirconium solutions were prepared in 0.1N HNO3 or less, or in >2N HNO3, the endpoint was unclear. It was critical to verify all the zirconium in prepared solutions is in a form that can react with EDTA, DFO, and p-SCN-DFO. A residue on ignition (ROI) test was used as a separate method to verify the results of the titration.
Three sources of ZrOCl2-8H2O were used to prepare and standardize three solutions of zirconium. The same sources of ZrOCl2-8H2O were tested for ROI. The % Zr was calculated using both methods. The results agreed to ≤ 0.8% absolute. This is a very good agreement for the comparison of two different methods. Consequently, we believe all the zirconium in solution is available to take part in the reaction.

Slurry explosives is a semi liquid type explosive. It is a jelly form explosive. Slurry Explosive was created in 1957 by Melvik Cook, who was from the USA. Dr. Melvik Cook used TNT, ammonium nitrate and water to make Slurry. He used Tnt as a fuel sensitizer, ammonium nitrate as an oxidiser, and water as a solution. The ratio of all these ingredients is 20:65:15. Melvik Cook noted that not all of these ingredients dissolve well. Then they used a crosslinking agent such as potassium dichromate. TNT and ammonium nitrate were well dissolved after using potassium dichromate. Then Melvik Cook used a gelling agent to maintain good concentration. He used guar gum as a cross linking agent. Then after that the slurry becomes explosive.
Ingredients of slurry explosive.
Fuel sensitiser :- TNT (Trinitrotoluene) PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate), sugar, urea, ethylene, glycol.
Oxidiser :- Ammonium nitrate, sodium,
Cross linking agent :- potassium and sodium dichromate.
Gelling agent :- starch and guar gum........ https://www.knowledgeofmines.com/slurry-explosives/

Strontium Bromine Formula - An Overview
A Strontium Bromide Formula, or SrBu, is a compound which contains one molecule of strontium. Strontium is the most abundant mineral in the earth and is found in such varied forms that it is essentially 'forest green' in nature. The main reason for strontium use is the fact that strontium is useful as a source of energy. With strontium, it is possible to create energy with a high efficiency rating, and without emitting any greenhouse gases. However, strontium bromide formula is still being researched; this compound does have the ability to release energy at a much higher temperature than strontium chloride, but is not quite able to create that high temperatures and efficiency.
Strontium Bromide (SrB) is a commercial formulation made from strontium bromide. This commercial formulation is manufactured using non-renewable sources, and is therefore considered as a hazardous chemical compound. However, strontium bromide formula, also called strontium bromide, is still being researched. It is believed that strontium bromide formula may be able to produce electricity through thermal diffusion.

Strontium boron (SrB) is the main constituent of strontium bromide formula. The main difference between the two is that the latter is considered a non-toxic chemical compound, while the former is toxic, particularly when exposed to human skin. It was discovered in strontium minerals during the early 20th century, with the understanding of the harmful effects of asbestos. Since then, it has been used to stabilize barium oxide, which is a common component in smoke detectors.
Barium Bromide Formula SRB is the preferred replacement for strontium bromide. This is because it has proven to be a better compound, especially for the purpose of ceramic and glass. It has become one of the most commonly used chemical compounds, especially in the food and beverage industry. Some manufacturers are using this formula to preserve rice. In fact, the International Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved the use of this as a stabilizer for potassium bromides and sodium dichromate.
This stabilizer for potassium bromides and sodium dichromate prevents their poisonous effects on humans and animals. The American Elements website notes that this compound is usually prepared by combining strontium bromide and strontium carbonate. A number of different strontium bromide salts are available, which include those manufactured by Ciba Pharmaceuticals and Sanofi Aventis. The strontium bromide formula research is also available in tablet and capsule forms. It can be purchased directly from vendors online and in health food stores. The dietary supplements produced by the American Elements and other companies can also contain this compound.
The FDA has not approved the composition of strontium bromide formula SRB as a dietary supplement. The U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP) has not approved this composition for use as a dietary supplement either. This is because the USP requires the manufacturer of the tablets to list all of the ingredients in the composition of the tablets, including the quantities. The concentration of each ingredient in the tablet is also determined by the USP. The manufacturer of the strontium bromide formula weight loss supplement must list the ionic mineral content in milligrams for the United States, Canada, and the European Union.
https://www.reportmines.com/edible-beans-market-in-uk-r185128
https://www.reportmines.com/edible-beans-market-in-italy-r185129
However, the USP does not regulate the safety of the compounds included in the strontium bromide formula. The only way to determine the safety of the chemical formula is to conduct clinical trials. Clinical trials are designed to determine whether a new chemical is effective or not when used as a dietary supplement. Studies must also be conducted on humans to determine what the long term health consequences of using the chemical are. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is the cancer registry organization in the US responsible for determining if a new chemical is carcinogenic.
There are two main strontium bromide supplement manufacturers in the US. The two companies are Xtendlife and Creda. While Xtendlife markets their product under the brand name Strap, and Creda markets under the brand name RemFemin. However, there are other strontium supplement manufacturers producing supplements that use other names not mentioned here, or that are sold in combination with the two major brands.

The Number One Question You Must Ask for Organic Molecule
New Questions About Organic Molecule
For example you decide to solve 40 problems of an exam on one day. An exhaustive comprehension of anatomy can enable students to completely understand the many systems in the body together with their relationship with each other, but comprehension of the subject is no easy undertaking. A tutor is exactly what you have to forget the distractions of the classroom so you can focus entirely on learning precisely what you want to while building effective study abilities.
https://grademiners.com
Be aware that the terms chiral and optically active shouldn’t be confused. Understanding skeletal formula in organic chemistry is going to be the key to your success when it has to do with working through organic chemistry reactions and step-by-step mechanisms. Several different kinds of solutions exist.
The One Thing to Do for Organic Molecule
As stated above, Europa is thought to be a key candidate because of the fact it hosts the greatest ocean in the solar system that we’re conscious of. Alkenes have a minumum of one double bond. A 3-carbon chain with a double bond is known as propene.
As a consequence the system switches to a brand-new state with conductivity improved by means of a factor of around a thousand, causing a sharp rise in the present flow. The order of seniority is utilized to select a parent hydrocarbon. Finally, it is going to cause the decreasing of the reconstructed moment.

Want to Know More About Organic Molecule?
Allyl is believed to be a typical name. For instance, to understand the name 2-methylpropan-1-ol you must select the name to pieces. Knowing these rules and given a structural formula, an individual needs to be in a position to compose an exceptional name for every single distinct compound.
Both of all these methods are a type of memorization and don’t really help you understand what’s happening in the authentic reaction. This guy is insanely nice and passionate at what he does. It’s like attempting to learn French without initially learning the meaning of a number of the words.
The 5-Minute Rule for Organic Molecule
Through the years organic chemists have developed a wide collection of reactions that permit them to make all sorts of complex products from simpler starting materials. To create the situation more frustrating, the range of helpful and accessible resources for consumers is limited, since the large part of the information on the web and in the news is unfounded and unreferenced. cheap assignment writing Some studies also claim a number of negative effects related to constant, long-term usage, including short-term memory loss.
It offers a fundamental framework for which the remainder of the body relies on. There are two sorts of fatssaturated and unsaturated. These structures will require that you download a molecular modeling viewer to observe the pdb files.
Due to the minimal prevalence, the researchers concluded that an answer to MSG wasn’t reproducible. The quaternary structure describes a protein that’s assembled from a few separate peptide chains. So the aforementioned representation of bonds and electrons isn’t entirely accurate.
As is true with nicotine and caffeine, the function of THC in Cannabis, it appears, is to safeguard the plant from herbivores or pathogens. Organic molecules are located in, and are created by living organisms. Cholesterol is 1 substance that may cause such blockages.
Definitions of Organic Molecule
The variety of electrons essential to finish the octet determines the amount of electrons that should be contributed and shared by a different element in a bond. The rest of the cell mass is made up of a number of small organic molecules, including macromolecular precursors.

This is because of the simple fact that chirality can only be distinguished in a chiral atmosphere. Mars has proven the capability to preserve organics, and we’ve proven the capacity to locate them. The particles are intermediate in dimension.
The Dirty Truth About Organic Molecule
This side-product needs to be removed using extra electricity and material, which comes at a charge to the plant. Organic reactions can often give remarkable control concerning what products ought to be formed. Folks prefer organic food since they feel it is safer than conventional food as chemicals aren’t utilized in its production.

The Pain of Organic Molecule
The alkanes and cycloalkanes are also members of a bigger class of compounds called aliphatic. Purchasing of an air purifier that removes formaldehyde could be an essential step, too. Covalent compounds also nearly all organometallic compounds, so we don’t require a distinct category for these.
A polysaccharide contains a string of connected monosaccharides. Magnesium hydroxide is employed as an ingredient in many antacids and magnesium might also be found as a chelate. Lipid molecules are usually hydrophobic which means they don’t dissolve in water.
Therefore, proteins which don’t fit in the crevice won’t be hydrolyzed. Usually, strong acids or bases have to be added as a way to attain hydrolysis where water doesn’t have any effect. The fastest way to form an aldehyde is to oxidise a key alcohol utilizing potassium dichromate.
The range of outer shell electrons determines the range of electrons necessary to finish the octet of eight electrons. Most polymer engineers think that it must be associated with cis-trans isomerisation. Evidently, there’s often more than 1 way of branching off groups of carbons from the home chain, which contributes to the large quantities of possible isomers as the amount of carbons in the molecule increases.

Over the recent past, demand for malonic acid and its ester compounds has increased in several end use industries, such as pharmaceutical, coating, electronics and polymer & plastic, among others, owing to its multifunctional nature and characteristic properties. Due to the multi-functional nature of malonic acid, it can be used as a precursor, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), cross linker, additive and intermediate compound, among others.
Malonic acid, formula CH2(COOH)2, is also known as propanedioic acid. It is a white crystalline dicarboxylic acid compound that is readily soluble in alcohol & ethers. Through ionization of malonic acid, malonic esters are produced, which are called as malonates. Historically, the first synthesis of malonic acid was carried out through oxidation-reduction of malic acid with potassium dichromate. With industrial developments and advancements in manufacturing technology, several methods for the production of malonic acid were developed and commercialized. Moreover, commercially, malonic acid is produced from chloroacetic acid and diethyl malonate.

Evaluation of Module 101
  During the course of this first module, it was my intention to further expand on my initial project proposal, through considered theoretical research and process based skill development. The basis of my project centres around concepts of selfhood and what it means to be, theories which I planned to respond to visually through explorations in expressive portraiture (blog 1).
 Through interrogation of the many conceptual theories surrounding the notion of what the self is, I would be able to form a semiotic response in summary of these varied theories, creating a visual equivalency to the philosophical, biological, and spiritual viewpoints on the notion of an extant conscious self (blog 2).
 It was my intention to make work in reference to the technical history of photography, as well as its role in the wider frame of art history, with an implied opposition to the ubiquity of digital modes of image production and the current cultural expectations of the representation of the self.
 In order to do this, I would need to do a number of things. Firstly, I needed to explore a few of the many avenues of thought surrounding the concept of self, taking in a variety of theories from different viewpoints and disciplines of study on the matter. I would need to gain a basic grasp of understanding in each of these different areas of thought, in order to begin to piece together a conceptual visual response to the theory of self.
 To begin with, I sketched out some basic guidelines regarding areas of study where I should begin to research the topic. These were; Philosophy, Biology, Quantum Physics, Religion and spirituality, Psychedelics, and Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. Research into these areas, I proposed, would give me the basic understanding that I would require to make an informed visual response to the subject matter (blog 13, 35).
 My second point of development would revolve around learning the technical skills required to make the work. This would be directly informed by two of my initial project goals; learning the methods and techniques involved in making albumen photographic paper from scratch, along with the related exposure and development techniques of albumen printing, and learning the process of hand colouring photographic prints using traditional dye based methods.
 It was not my intention to begin to create work in direct response to my theoretical research within the confines of this first module, instead using this time to develop my skills as a maker, and to gather the information needed to eventually create photographic imagery which would successfully express my interpretation of my researched material.
 Throughout the course of this first module, I have achieved my two development aims, having made significant inroads into my conceptual research, learning about all manner of theoretical approaches to the notion of the self, which will be of great use to me when planning my practical visual work. I have also successfully learned how to make albumen prints, and have also learned the process of hand colouring, being able to achieve results of an acceptable standard.
 With regards to the development of my project in relation to my five initial goals, I feel that I have made good use of my time to maximise my technical learning, developing skills in new areas of process based making.
 My first practical goal of learning how to make albumen paper from scratch, and learning the specialised technical skills needed to produce high quality prints was a particularly challenging one. I had worked with a number of alternative photographic processes in the past, which all have their own unique parameters which one must adhere to if acceptable prints are to be made, but the albumen process is one which is particularly unforgiving.
 I started by making the salted albumen colloid solution (blog 10), which consists of egg whites, acetic acid, ammonium chloride, and water. This mixture is then whisked, chilled, and separated, to isolate the salted albumen colloid. Taking this first step and making this most integral part of the process was quite daunting, but I approached the process with confidence, and managed to mix the albumen solution correctly. I did have to alter the recipe slightly, as I did not have any acetic acid to hand. I substituted this ingredient for malt vinegar, which although is less acidic, would work just as well.
 Next came the coating of the paper with the albumen solution. I researched coating methods extensively, finally settling on the floatation method (blog 9, 11) for its even smoothness. I could have attempted either rod or brush coating for comparison, but I decided to focus on quality and repeatability of results, which only floatation coating offers.
 The paper I chose to use for these first tests - Fabriano Artistico - was perfect for other alternative printing processes that I had tried previously, but as it turned out, was incompatible with the chemical specificity of the albumen process, which I will discuss later.
 The coated paper now needed to dry for three days before sensitisation with silver nitrate. I decided to experiment with the application methods of the silver nitrate sensitiser, applying with both brush and by floatation (blog 15). When sensitised and dry, the paper could be exposed in contact with a negative under ultraviolet light to produce my first prints from the process.
 My first prints were somewhat disappointing, being of low contrast, dull and flat (blog 18). After much research into the causes for this, the answer came in two parts. Firstly, the paper that I had used was inappropriate for the process, having been treated with a synthetic sizing agent that chemically affects the sensitisation process. This meant that I would need to use a different paper, one more suitable to the process. Secondly, I discovered that I should add potassium dichromate to my silver nitrate to boost contrast in the prints. As the albumen process is inherently low in contrast and has the widest tonal range of any photographic process, all measures needed to be taken to counteract this in order to produce prints of acceptable contrast.
 After taking these discoveries into account, I began to consider alternative papers on which to print. I had not been happy with my previous results, not only due to the issues surrounding contrast, but also due to issues of image sharpness. I decided that cotton based printing paper was far too absorbent, resulting in the chemistry being held below the paper’s surface. This meant that my images would never be sharp. It was a while before I came to the conclusion that the solution to my problem was in using a chemically inert, non-absorbent synthetic paper (blog 76). This paper took the albumen coating very well, giving a lustrous finish even when dry, and providing pin sharp image reproduction. After all of these tests and the technical research that went into the process, I have decided to continue to work with the synthetic paper, as it gives the most pleasing visual results.
 My second goal was to learn the process of hand colouring of black and white photographs. I started by researching the creative and professional context of the process historically (blog 20, 21, 22), as well as looking at practitioners which use the process within the sphere of contemporary art, such as Walter and Zoniel (blog 23), and Shae De Tar (Blog 25). I then went on to research the basic methods of the process (blog 24), before taking my first steps in applying colour to black and white photographs, by hand.
 I had never attempted this process before, and had little to no knowledge or skill in painting, so I was apprehensive to begin with. According to one of my sources (Wedge, J, 1988), the best way to apply the colour dyes used in the process was by the use of cotton buds and cotton wool pads. Brushes would give too hard a line and were too slow a method of working, due to the fast acting effect of the dyes.
 My first attempts at hand colouring went surprisingly well (blog 27, 28), and bolstered my confidence in the use of the process. I went on to experiment with colouring different paper surfaces (blog 32, 100), as well as using different tools and approaches to the method (blog 31).
 After these experiments with traditional dye based methods of colouring black and white prints, I decided to approach the process of adding colour in another way, for the purposes of comparison. I wanted to try and add colour through mechanical means, which I thought would perhaps add a contextual depth to the work not available through traditionally situated process.
 These experiments took the form of digital inkjet overprinting (blog 36), whereby I would make two identical versions of an image, one in colour, the other in black and white. I would then print the black and white image in the darkroom, making a light, contrasty print. I would then scan the colour version, editing its size and dimensions to match those of the black and white print.
 The black and white version which had been made in the darkroom was then loaded into a basic household inkjet printer, and overprinted with the digital colour version. This resulted in a digitally colourised image (blog 41).
 Results were unpredictable using this method, as the parameters of the process were so variable. Image registration between the digital and physical versions was the main problem (blog 44), and I soon discovered that making a correctly registered print was practically impossible, the main reason being the lack of mechanical continuity in the inkjet printer; each print being slightly different due to variables in how the paper was loaded into the machine, or through the application of the ink to the paper.
 I came to the decision that it would be best to abandon my experiments in this process in order to focus my attention on perfecting my skills in traditional dye based colourisation (blog 46). I feel that digital overprinting could be an interesting avenue to explore in the future, but for now, I feel that colouring by hand is both more appropriate, and more achievable in the context of this project.
 All of this research and development has set me in good stead where it comes to the technical approach to the visual response to my theoretical research, adding a great potential new depth to my proposed project.
 Through the appropriate use of these newly learned processes, I wish to reclaim the seemingly lost notion of craft skill in contemporary photography, especially with regards to conceptual portraiture and the modern mass media experience, relating their use to my theoretical research into the concept of self.
 Contextually, this theory manifests itself in a number of ways. Through research into a few of the many avenues of discussion as to what the self is, or thought to be, I have formed a basic understanding of current scientific and philosophical reasoning on the subject.
 The perceived dichotomy between the scientific and philosophical viewpoints as to the truth of self, for instance, is expressed interestingly by Dr Mary Midgley in her book “Are you an Illusion?” In it she describes the scientific ideology of the mechanised body, attempting to refute ideas that the self is a simple by-product of physicality by insisting upon the presence of a mental self, measurable in some way. She ponders “How can thought and feeling possibly occur in a world that is made up of dead, inert matter?” (Midgley, M, 2014).
 There is understandably a great deal of disparity where it comes to the conclusions on the subject which each discipline might offer, and my task of visually distilling these ideas into a conceptual photographic response is made more challenging as a result.
 One thing is clear, however, and that is that each train of thought on the subject has within it somewhere a concept of the emptiness of self, that we both exist and do not exist at the same time. Whether it is quantum loop consciousness (blog 88), or Buddhist concepts of the aggregates of consciousness (blog 70), there seems to be some agreement, or at least a correlation, across each of the fields of study. As Sartre says, “It is there, invisible and present” (Sartre, 1972).
 This has a profound impact for the development of my work, as it gives me an anchor point from which I can explore these theories deeper, and begin to tie my concept together with a visual element for the first time (blog 30, 33, 45, 56).
 As an attempt to express this ambiguous and intangible concept, I decided to experiment with the physical manipulation of photographic prints. I began by researching artists who currently work in this way, specifically within the realms of photography. Artists such as Gerhardt Richter, with his over painted photographs which interrupt the way photography acts upon the world (blog 78), or Alma Haser, who uses constructed elements to make comment on the perceived ambiguity of a digital-centric society (blog 80), possibilities to express complex notions through the physical manipulation of photographic prints can be extremely effective.
 My experiments began with the lith printing process, chosen for its unique chemical reactivity, and the beautiful effects that it can produce as a result (blog 49, 56). I then moved onto experimenting with the degradation of the surface of silver gelatine prints through prolonged exposure to water (blog 68), which was an attempt to directly apply researched concepts of Neo-Expressionism to photographic portraiture. I was particularly impressed with the results of this experiment, and have since decided to pursue this method of manipulation as a primary creative technique for the duration of my project. I have found that the level of unpredictability shown in this process is eminently suitable as a method of expressing intangible concepts, working from the same visual keys that Neo-Expressionism relies heavily upon. I will now need to experiment with this process using albumen prints, as these may degrade differently, or at a different rate to silver gelatine prints.
 My next manipulations were the most interesting to me, and I believe, the most effective. I decided to experiment with the application of charcoal directly onto the surface of paper negatives, which I would then print, in order to create works which could express concepts not possible through photography alone (blog 83).
 This combination of photography and additional forms derived from embellishment through mark-making, caused me to experience a creative revelation (blog 93). I could now manipulate my photography with charcoal, allowing me to surpass the restrictions of straight photography, and enabling me to utilise creative methods taken from drawing. This in turn would open up huge potential where my conceptual response to my theoretical research was concerned (blog 98). The visual possibilities I now had at my fingertips had so much more creative promise.
 In conclusion, I believe that this first module has encouraged me to work more expressively, with a healthy experimental mindset. The works which I have produced in relation to this module have served as aids to my learning process, preparing me to move forward with my visual practice with a view to making my conceptual photographic response to my theoretical research into the notion of the self, in the next module.

BLACK.
BLACK.—Logwood and green copperas are commonly used; but the colour is improved by first boiling the article in a decoction of galls and alderbark. If previously dyed blue or brown, by means of walnut-peels, it will be still better.
The Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine, May 1855, Collected Vol. 4, p.63. [x]
Scientific American (1853) notes these dye receipts are largely cribbed from other publications, including the Baltimore Sun that year, and are incorrect, thus "will assuredly do evil". They correct thus:
BLACK—Let no person boil woolen goods in galls or alderbark prior to the logwood dye ; a very small quantity of galls is useful, but if too much are used the goods acquire a brown color. Cotton cannot be dyed a good black without being prepared with sumac, but woolen goods are dyed black by boiling them one hour first in a kettle containing some bichromate of potash, about two ounces to the pound of goods, then airing them, washing, and boiling in logwood, one pound at the rate of 5 oz to the pound ; or copperas can be used for the bichromate of potash, and is the old way, only a little fustic must be employed, or the color will not be a jet but a blue black.
“Receipts for Dyeing” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 8 No. 48 (August 1853), p. 384 [x]
As a rule, I suggest you look for contemporary advice when attempting to recreate natural dyes from historical sources, and always utilise proper safety equipment and ventilation.

Why Patch Testing Dermatology Is Important
When patch testing isn’t done properly, it can put systems at risk and cause serious problems. This is why it’s important to test patches in a virtual environment before rolling them out in production.
Avoid scratching the patches on your back, as this can irritate the skin and dislodge the patches. You should also take care not to shower or sweat, as this may affect the results.
At-Home Patch Testing
While at-home patch testing dermatology tests may help to pinpoint which ingredients you're allergic or sensitive to, it's important to remember that they won't differentiate between an allergy and irritation. "If you're reacting to a product and your skin turns red, itchy or flaky, an at-home patch test might just tell you that you are sensitive to an ingredient," says dermatologist Marisa Garshick.
During a professional patch test, which typically takes place in a dermatologist's office, a series of plastic or aluminum square chambers filled with suspected allergens are taped to your upper back for 48 hours. You must avoid bathing, swimming or any activities that will cause sweating during this time.
The test is designed to expose your skin to a range of substances, including nickel sulfate and potassium dichromate, in order to measure your reaction. A negative result indicates that your skin does not have an allergy to any of the chemicals tested. A positive result means that the product or chemical causing your allergy was found. Retesting with additional chemicals is sometimes necessary.
In-Office Patch Testing
The good news is that a dermatologist can help you figure out your allergy triggers in-office. During this type of patch test, we will apply a series of tape strips to your back that have various allergens embedded in them. You will need to wear the patches for 48 hours, and you can’t get them wet (this includes showering or bathing). We’ll mark your skin with ink where the patches are placed so we can make sure they are where they should be.
The standard patch test includes 35 different allergens incorporated into hydrophilic gels. We may add additional allergens if you have an extensive work history or are suspicious of certain allergies. The test can also determine whether your rash is caused by an irritant or an allergic reaction.
We can also use patch testing to identify specific allergens for those whose rashes are work-related, such as those who are allergic to metals, latex or adhesives used in their profession. We’ll provide education on how to avoid these allergens and recommend alternative products for you to try.
Symptoms
When a person is allergic to something, it can cause a skin reaction. This is called contact dermatitis and can look like red, itchy, bumpy skin. The rash usually clears up when the offending substance is removed from the skin.
Skin tests can help determine which allergens are responsible for symptoms. These may include chemicals, fragrances and metals. Patients should bring a list of products they use at home and work along with safety data sheets to show their provider. Drug allergies, such as to penicillin or some older immunosuppressive drugs, are not easily tested with skin testing but can be diagnosed using other methods.
During a patch test, patches are applied to the patient's back. They remain occluding for 48 hours, and the dermatologist reads the results at day 5. Patients must avoid showers, soaking the area or sun exposure while the tests are in place. They should also not take oral antihistamines or steroids, which can interfere with the results.
Results
patch testing allergies identifies the substances or allergens responsible for your contact dermatitis. These substances may include plants; metals, such as nickel in jewelry or buckles; rubber and plastics; cleaning chemicals; fragrances; cosmetics; preservatives; and more. Your doctor will select the allergen series most appropriate for your history and circumstances.
A positive result indicates you are sensitized to a particular allergen and that it is causing your rash. The results vary from a small skin rash with a little swelling to red bumps and blisters. Obtaining accurate test results requires training and experience in applying the tests, reading them correctly and considering relevance.
Medications, such as antihistamines and heartburn medicines, can interfere with the results of the test. If you have to take medication, be sure to tell your doctor ahead of time so it can be adjusted if necessary. You should also avoid wetting the area where the patches are placed. Scratching the skin can irritate it and dislodge the patch, resulting in an inaccurate reading.

Obtaining accurate test results requires training and experience in applying the tests, reading them correctly and considering relevance.
Medications, such as antihistamines and heartburn medicines, can interfere with the results of the test. If you have to take medication, be sure to tell your doctor ahead of time so it can be adjusted if necessary. You should also avoid wetting the area where the patches are placed. Scratching the skin can irritate it and dislodge the patch, resulting in an inaccurate reading.
