Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a photographic
element is disclosed comprising a silver halide emulsion layer having associated
therewith an acetanilide-based yellow dye forming coupler and a stabilizer
compound of the formula S-I:
 
wherein R 0  represents an unsubstituted or substituted aryl or heterocyclic group;
R a  is H or a substituent group; L represents an alkylene linking group and p
represents 0 or 1; and R b  is a substituent group, provided that substituent groups

bis-phenolic stabilizers, substantial improvements in the light stability of the
image dyes can be also be obtained. Accordingly, photographic elements of the
present invention upon exposure and photographic processing exhibit good

Abstract: The PCR-based, dsDNA quantification method monitors the fluorescence of a target, whose melting characteristics is predetermined, during each amplification cycle at selected time-points. Fluorescence is measured immediately after the annealing phase (FE at TE), immediately below (FMS at TMS) and above (FME at TME) the melting of the target/amplicon. A change in slope from a baseline slope (SB = -(FMS - FE)/(TMS -TE)) to a melting phase slope (SM = -(FME - FMS)/(TME - TMS) indicates a specific amplification. The number of amplification cycles (CT) it takes for the quantity (SM - SB) to become greater than zero correlates with the starting concentration of the target (C). The concentration of the target in a sample is determined by comparing the value of CT for the sample with a standard curve. By selecting targets with distinguishable melting curve characteristics, multiple targets can be simultaneously detected.
