AbstractThe basic physical methods of disinfection of air, water, and surfaces, such as filtration, ozonation, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, photocatalysis, cold plasma, electric discharges, and electroporation in an electric field are reviewed. The main attention is paid to the consideration of traditional and new methods of air disinfection....

Cells losing the ability to self-regulate in response to damage are a hallmark of cancer. When a cell encounters damage, regulatory pathways estimate the severity of damage and promote repair, cell cycle arrest, or apoptosis. This decision-making process would be remarkable if it were based on the total amount of damage in the cell, but because dam...

Cometary tails visually manifest the solar wind and became an initial hint for its discovery. While the solar wind is being directly monitored with satellites, its time series before the space age has been controversially reconstructed with multiple proxies. Recently, archival reports of cometary plasma tails have been subjected to consideration to...

Calafate ( Berberis microphylla G. Forst) is a wild bush plant widely distributed in the south of Argentina and Chile. Their blue colored fruits present particular flavor and health benefits attributed to high polyphenol contents biosynthesized by the plant under stress. Studies about correlation of abiotic conditions with anthocyanin profiles and ...

BACKGROUND: Ultraviolet radiation exposure is the most prominent modifible risk factor for developing both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. OBJECTIVE: We sought to elucidate sun-protective behaviors among active members of the United States Lifesaving Association (USLA), a nationwide nonprofit organization comprising beach lifeguards, and to...

Since the COVID-19 outbreak, researchers have tried to characterise the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 to better understand the pathogenic mechanisms of the virus and prevent further dissemination. As a consequence, there has been a bloom in scientific research papers focused on the behaviour of the virus in different environmental contexts. Neverthe...

Antibiotics are considered emerging pollutants as their presence in the environment is increasingly common. Although their environmental concentrations are generally low, they can pose risk to organisms through bioaccumulation, causing sublethal effects. Furthermore, solar radiation can trigger reactions in certain compounds after their accumulatio...

Harsh or extreme environmental conditions largely determine the vegetative and reproductive development of plants. In the case of cultivated plants, their growth and yield are clearly diminished if they are exposed to severe conditions such as drought, waterlogging, extreme heat or cold, UV radiation, or toxic substances in the soil such as salts, ...

Excessive UV exposure contributes to several pathological conditions like skin burns, erythema, premature skin aging, photodermatoses, immunosuppression, and skin carcinogenesis. Effective protection from UV radiation may be achieved with the use of sunscreens containing UV filters. Currently used UV filters are characterized by some limitations in...
