Ultraviolet light detection: a function of scorpion fluorescence
The hypothesis that fluorescence in scorpions functions in the detection of ultraviolet light was tested. We reduced the fluorescence of scorpions by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light on a 16:8 h light:dark cycle and compared their activity levels and light environment choices to unmodified scorpions in simple arenas that were half in shadow and half exposed to light. Three different ligh...
متن کاملMultiplicity reactivation of reovirus particles after exposure to ultraviolet light.
McClain, Mary E. (California State Department of Public Health, Berkeley), and Rex S. Spendlove. Multiplicity reactivation of reovirus particles after exposure to ultraviolet light. J. Bacteriol. 92:1422-1429. 1966.-Exposure of reovirus suspensions to moderate doses of ultraviolet light results in essentially exponential inactivation of infectivity to survivals of 10(-2) to 10(-3). With suspens...
متن کاملMass photokeratitis following exposure to unprotected ultraviolet light.
We report a cluster of patients developing photokeratitis as a result of exposure to unprotected UV-B light source. The incident occurred at a cattle livestock market auction where the light source protective covers of mercury vapour lamps were damaged because of vandalism. The incident was investigated by the District Council as a public health and safety issue. This report stresses the hazard...
متن کاملRetinal Light Damage Through Prolonged Visible Light Exposure
Computers and laptops are increasingly used at work and at home. As a consequence, the exposure of short wavelength blue light, which is emitted by LED displays, increases too. By its action, light is well-known to enact damage on the neurosensory retina, especially on the underlying structures. In particular, this happens through photothermal, photomechanical, and photochemical mechanisms. Thi...
متن کاملDipeptide hydrogelation triggered via ultraviolet light.
UV irradiation of a dipeptide gelator in solution with a photoacid generator (PAG) results in the formation of a hydrogel. We demonstrate that photopatterning of these gels using a UV mask is possible.
