چکیده
Corresponding Author: Johan Jendle, M.D., Ph.D., Endocrine and Diabetes Center, Karlstad Hospital, SE-65185 Karlstad, Sweden; email address [email protected] Airplane flight results in exposure to hypobaric conditions. At cruising altitude, usually 10,000 to 13,000 meters (~30,000 to 42,000 feet), the pressure in the cabin is 0.75 atm, which is 75% of the pressure measured at sea level. The difference in pressure between 1.0 and 0.75 atm is what passengers experience as temporary ear discomfort at take-off and landing

متن کاملEffect of Solar Ultraviolet-B plus End of Day Light and Its Exclusion on Growth Performance and Dry Weight Accumulation of Two Sweet Potato Cultivars (Ipomoea batatas L.) on Different Altitudes
UV-B radiation and EOD light (EOD) quality has both signaling and damaging effects based on the dosage and time of exposure. At highland areas UV-B decreases crop productivity and also light quality increase at high elevation area but EOD light quality effect was not researched based on altitude. Therefore, in the present study a field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of UV-B...
