Abstract: A method for accelerating the process of removing ethanol from the blood through the use of certain additives that accelerate the metabolic oxidation of ethanol, and others which in addition act as catalysts or “pseudo” enzymes for the oxidation. These additives include multivalent transition metal ions, as well as complexes thereof, and NAD+ which enhance the oxidation reaction. The method described can act as a sobriety inducer and/or as an effective palliative for the unpleasant effects of overuse of ethanol.

Abstract: A photographic recording element comprising a support bearing at least one radiation-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer comprising silver halide grains containing greater than 50 mole percent chloride, based on silver, and having greater than 50 percent of their surface area provided by {100} crystal faces, wherein (i) a first fraction which comprises from 10-90 wt % of the silver halide grains consists of grains which have a central portion which contains at least 10−7 mole of a hexacoordination metal complex which satisfies formula (I) per mole of silver and less than 10−10 mole of a hexacoordination metal complex which satisfies formula (II) per mole of silver, and (ii) a second fraction which comprises from 10-90 wt % of the silver halide grains consists of grains which have a central portion which contains at least 10−10 mole of a hexacoordination metal complex which satisfies the formula (II) per mole of silver and less than 10−7 mole of a hexacoordination metal com
