AFAIK, that's not the regular definition; the regular definition uses the rate of development as the criteria.

And what kinds of variables can influence on the location of the maxima? Is the "optimal ratio" property of the developing agent? > As I stated, I have not seen any data as to the superadditivity of Metol > and pyro. In terms of modern classification of developing agents, what are the criteria for agents to be superadditive? -- Ryuji Suzuki "Keep a good head and always carry a light camera." ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
