Daily very low UV dose exposure enhances adaptive immunity, compared with a single high‐dose exposure. Consequences for the control of a skin infection
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-07)
Ultraviolet radiation (UVr) promotes several well‐known molecular changes, which may ultimately impact on health. Some of these effects are detrimental, like inflammation, carcinogenesis and immunosuppression. On the other ...
Differential responses of Nostoc sphaeroides and Arthrospira platensis to solar ultraviolet radiation exposure
(Springer, 2006-04)
During October to December 2003 we carried out experiments to assess the impact of high solar radiation levels (as normally occurring in a tropical region of Southern China) on the cyanobacteria Nostoc sphaeroides and ...
Evolution of novel mimicry rings facilitated by adaptive introgression in tropical butterflies
Understanding the genetic basis of phenotypic variation and the mechanisms involved in the evolution of adaptive novelty, especially in adaptive radiations, is a major goal in evolutionary biology. Here, we used whole-genome ...
Radiation Field Inside a Reactor Made of Glass Fiber Meshes Coated with TiO2
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2002-04)
A photocatalytic reactor for treating polluted gaseous streams was developed with a flat-plate configuration and parallel, glass-fiber meshes coated with TiO2. It was irradiated from both sides with UV light provided by ...
New Miocene Caribbean gavialoids and patterns of longirostry in crocodylians
(Taylor and Francis, 2018)
Gavialoidea is a clade of slender- and long-snouted crocodylomorphs with a single living species, the Indian gharial Gavialis gangeticus. Because elongated snouts (longirostry) have evolved independently in several ...
Heat Exchange from the Toucan Bill Reveals a Controllable Vascular Thermal Radiator
(Amer Assoc Advancement Science, 2009-07-24)
The toco toucan (Ramphastos toco), the largest member of the toucan family, possesses the largest beak relative to body size of all birds. This exaggerated feature has received various interpretations, from serving as a ...
