title: Rate process parameters of albumen.
abstract: Both egg white and egg yolk are excellent media for studying photocoagulation due to thermal response of tissue to laser light. They are readily available, consistently the same, and provide a standard biological medium for different labs to compare results. The irradiation parameters for laser coagulation of these media depend upon their optical properties and their temperature-dependent rate reactions. Estimates of the rate process damage coefficients were obtained from constant-temperature water bath experiments. The activation energy E for egg white was estimated to be 92,000 (cal/M*K] and the integration constant A was found to be 3.8 x 10(57) (second-1).
