The effects of high and progressive doses of UVA are studied on skin, from a clinical and microscopic, both optic and electronic, point of view. We use pigskin as pattern, due to its similarity to human skin and a PUVA 200 Waldman as source of radiation.

As neuromorphic computing systems, which allow for parallel data storage and processing with high area and energy efficiency, show great potential for future storage and in-memory computing technologies. In this article, a high-performance UV detector for artificial optical synapse applications is demonstrated that can selectively detect UV-A and UV-C, with a responsivity of 407 A W. The pyrophototronic effect increases photocurrent dramatically under UV-A irradiation due to heat accumulation in the ZnO layer and ZnGaO's low thermal conductivity.

Purpose: To assess corneal resistance to enzymatic digestion after rose bengal (RB)/green light and RB/green light followed by riboflavin (RF)/ultraviolet A (UV-A) cross-linking (CXL), with or without oxygen.
Methods: Ex vivo porcine corneal buttons (n = 144) underwent CXL with RB/green or RB/green-RF/UV-A under atmospheric 21% oxygen conditions or in a nitrogen chamber with 0.1% oxygen (hypoxic conditions) to test 10- and 15-J/cm2 fluences.

Ultraviolet radiation serves as a significant abiotic stressor for numerous organisms, particularly impacting insects in various ways. , a highly destructive pest infesting of the Solanaceae species, was investigated to elucidate its growth, development, and enzymatic defense mechanisms of insects in response to UV exposure. This study investigates the effects of three types of UV radiation on the lifespan, egg laying behavior, and antioxidant enzyme activities of .

A comprehensive treatment approach for young leachate landfill (YLL) from Fez City was investigated using an integral system involving aeration as a pretreatment before the binary oxidation process using hydrogen peroxide (HP)/persulfate (PS) as oxidants, in which UV-A irradiation and ultrasonic (US) are used as activators (HP-PS-US-UV-A). The initial treatment by aeration resulted in COD, color, and Abs removal efficiencies of 54%, 61%, and 55%, respectively. The efficiency of the AOP was statistically evaluated, and the optimal operating conditions were determined by Box-Behnken design (BBD) to investigate the effects of three operating variables (pH, [SO], and [HO]) on three target responses: COD, Abs, and color removal.

Ultraviolet radiation (UV) represents a significant abiotic stress, affecting green plants. Phenolic compounds have been suggested as components involved in plant photoprotective adaptation. We used a unique combination of experimental (LED lighting and leaf tagging) and analytical (unbiased, or untargeted, metabolomics) approaches to study the effects of high (approximating mid-summer) and low (approximating winter) levels of UV on the expression of phenolic compounds.
