Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a ubiquitous component of the environment that has important effects on a wide range of cell functions. Short-wavelength UVB radiation induces sunburn and is a potent immunomodulator, yet longer-wavelength, lower-energy UVA radiation also has effects on mammalian immunity...

E. Saros, How do UV radiation, temperature, and zooplankton influence the dynamics of alpine phytoplankton communities?, Hydrobiologia, 2010, 648, 73- 81.Williamson, C. E.; Salm, C.; Cooke, S. L. & Saros, J. E. (2010): How do UV radiation, temperature, and zooplankton influence the...
The environment is one of the biggest factors to consider when choosing the rightmaterialsfor your project. If your device or equipment operates outside, you need to use a material that won’t be vulnerable to ultraviolet (UV) radiation produced by the sun. Luckily, there are materials that ...
Figure 1:The electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum indicates what form of radiation is produced from photons at different wavelengths and frequencies, with photons of higher frequency having higher energy and lower wavelength, and vice versa. With increasing wavelength/decreasing frequency/decreasing energ...
For example, when cells in the skin called melanocytes are damaged by ultraviolet radiation in sunlight they change in a characteristic way into a cancerous form of cell. The visible cancer that appears as a tumor on the skin is called melanoma. (See How Sun Tans and Sunburns Work for ...
The weather app might say the temperature is 23°C, but check Temperature Felt, and it will give you a different result. Visibility. It measures how an object or light can be seen still even from a distance. UV. Stands for Ultraviolet radiation, which measures the energy produced by the...
(P-proteins) [96,97]. Moreover, RNA-seq coupled with LCM has allowed for the investigation of plant responses to various stresses, such as UV radiation, salicylic acid, and other chemical compounds (e.g., antimycin, 3AT, or methyl viologen) that have a substantial impact on vascular ...
In mouse skin, α-tocopheryl acetate significantly inhibited UV-induced iNOS mRNA expression, NO production, and COX-2 activity, while reducing PGE2 levels, so limiting inflammatory response evoked by UV radiation exposure [127]. α-Tocopheryl acetate treatment of superficial burns, post-traumatic ...
A post-processing phase may be necessary after the coating application, such as curing (cross-linking) using thermal treatment or various energy sources, including gas, an infrared oven, or UV radiation [137,138]. The sol–gel reaction, fabric impregnation process, chemical grafting, layer-by-...
