Many materials in everyday use such as window glass in homes and offices, glass in sunrooms and greenhouses, vehicle glass and some brands of sunscreens act as a barrier to the shorter UVB wavelengths while transmitting some of the longer UVA wavelengths. This paper reports on the erythemal exposures due to the UVA waveband encountered over a 12-month period for a solar zenith angle (SZA) range...

Massive volumes of GPS trajectory data bring challenges to storage and processing. These issues can be addressed by compression algorithm which can reduce the size of the trajectory data. A key requirement for GPS trajectory compression algorithm is to reduce the size of the trajectory data while minimizing the loss of information. Synchronized Euclidean distance (SED) as an important error mea...

Intestinal M cells deliver macromolecules, particles, and pathogens into the subepithelial dome (SED) region of Peyer's patch mucosa, an area rich in dendritic cells (DCs). We tested whether uptake of the mucosal adjuvant cholera toxin (CT) or live Salmonella bacteria can induce DC migration within Peyer's patches. Virus-sized, fluorescent polystyrene microparticles were efficiently transported...

We consider archival ROSAT and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of five FR I radio galaxies and isolate their nuclear emission from that of the host galaxy. This enable us to determine the Spectral Energy Distributions (SED) of their nuclei spanning from the radio to the X–ray band. They cannot be described as single power–laws but require the presence of an emission peak located betwe...
