Confidence scores and average optimal energies were higher and average worst energies were lower for radiologists compared to surgeons in all hardware (p less then 0.05). Differences in optimal energy were not statistically significant for different alloys or type of fixation implant in both groups. CONCLUSIONS In both observer groups, 190 keV images were selected most frequently as the optimal energy to assess bone union in patients with a suspected non-union of the appendicular skeleton with hardware in situ. On average, musculoskeletal radiologists selected higher optimal and lower worst energy settings and were more confident in selecting both energy settings than orthopaedic trauma surgeons. Simple and rapid spectrophotometric methods are described for determination of two mixtures of tamsulosin (TM), as minor component, with either solifenacin (SL) or tolterodine (TL). The proposed methods involve treatment of the absorbance ratio spectra or zero order spectra by derivative or discrete Fourier function. TM and TL mixture could not be resolved by manipulation of their zero order spectra due to the strong overlap between both spectra and only derivative or Fourier function coefficients of ratio spectra could resolve their spectra. TM and SL mixture was fully resolved by the manipulation of both ratio and zero order spectra. The values of the derivative or the Fourier function coefficients of ratio spectra and/or zero order spectra, at either peak or trough points, were correlated to the concentration of each drug in each mixture. Calibration graphs were linear in ranges 2.5-40 and 30-500μg.mL-1 using derivative ratio and Fourier function ratio, 5-40 and 80-600μg.mL-1 using direct derivative and 2.5-40 and 30-300μg.mL-1 using direct Fourier function for TM and SL, respectively. The plots of derivative ratio amplitude and the Fourier function ratio coefficient versus concentration were linea
