Deep ultraviolet (DUV) optical wireless communications have seen increased interest in recent years due to the unique properties of light this spectral region. However, reported DUV data rates remain significantly lower than comparable demonstrations at visible wavelengths modulation bandwidths and/or output power sources. Here, we present a wavelength division multiplexing demonstration using ...

background: haemonchus contortus causes severe economic losses in small ru-minants, so this study was conducted to study the uv effect on h. contortus larvae and its protective effect. methods: sixteen male goats were divided into 5 groups, control infected, con-trol uninfected and uv 30minutes exposure; uv 60minutes exposure and uv booster 60minutes exposure. the uv groups were exposed to uv i...

the role of the antioxidant defense system was studied in brassica napus, and subjected todifferent supplementary bands of ultraviolet radiation (uv-a, uv-b and uv-c). this study showed thatuv-b and uv-c induced oxidative stress as evidenced by an increase in lipid peroxidation and totalascorbate content. under uv-b and uv-c treatments, flavonoids and anthocyanins were increasedsignificantly co...

Photoinhibition is light-induced inactivation of PSII, and action spectrum measurements have shown that UV light causes photoinhibition much more efficiently than visible light. In the present study, we quantified the contribution of the UV part of sunlight in photoinhibition of PSII in leaves. Greenhouse-grown pumpkin leaves were pretreated with lincomycin to block the repair of photoinhibited...

Plants use sunlight for photosynthesis and, as a consequence, are exposed to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation that is present in sunlight. UV radiation is generally divided into three classes: UV-C, UV-6, and UV-A. The UV-C region of the UV spectrum includes wavelengths below 280 nm; these highly energetic wavelengths are effectively absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere and, thus, are not presen...

Thinning of the atmospheric ozone layer leads to elevated levels of Ultraviolet-B (UVB) at the Earth's surface, resulting in an increase of health risks to living organisms due to DNA damage. This paper examines the multidecadal changes of total column ozone from 1979 to 2005 with the aid of ground-based UVB stations using the ultraviolet multifilter rotating shadow-band radiometer (UV-MFRSR). ...
