Namen doktorske disertacije je bil razviti hitro in učinkovito metodo za napovedovanje zaščitnih lastnosti tkanin pred UV sevanjem že v fazi njihovega načrtovanja oz. projektiranja. Z definiranjem koeficientov prepustnosti (T), odboja (R) in absorpcije (A) ultravijoličnega (UV) sevanja na podlagi razširjene teorije faktorja kritja tkanin je bil nam...
The skin is constantly exposed to a variety of environmental threats, including solar electromagnetic radiation, microbes, airborne particulate matter, and chemicals. Acute exposure to these environmental factors results in the activation of different signaling pathways that orchestrate adaptive stress responses to maintain cell and tissue homeosta...

The responses in growth and defense after tissue damage are highly variable in plants depending on species, damaged-tissue type and the intensity of damage. The prevailing abiotic conditions can also influence these responses. In this study, our aim was to examine how the removal of lateral vegetative buds affects the growth and accumulation of phe...

Melanism is widely observed among animals, and is adaptive in various contexts for its thermoregulatory, camouflaging, mate-attraction or photoprotective properties. Many organisms exposed to ultraviolet radiation show increased fitness resulting from melanin pigmentation; this has been assumed to result in part from reduced UV-induced damage to DN...
The head is one of the most sun-exposed anatomical zones and its ultraviolet (UV) exposure is often underestimated. The goal of this research is to quantify the solar erythemal UV protection provided by human hair for different orientations and Solar Zenith Angles (SZA). For this purpose, a three-dimensional (3D) numeric simulation tool called SimU...
The combination of ascorbic acid and rutin, often used in oral preparations, due to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, can be used to protect skin cells against the effects of UV radiation from sunlight. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the synergistic effect of rutin and ascorbic acid on the proteomic profile of UVA a...

AbstractThe effect of the exposure of nacre natural material to plasma and ultraviolet (UV) radiation of nanosecond electrical discharges in atmospheric pressure air is shown. The radiation treatment of nacre for 5 and 10 min using a GAME instrument leads to a surface modification providing an increase in water wettability; however, the decorative ...

AbstractIn ion sources, up to a third of the power released in a plasma discharge is carried away from the plasma in the form of ultraviolet radiation. Two main mechanisms for the formation of radiation are considered: radiation from excited atoms of the propellant and from ion-electron recombination coming out of plasma onto the surface bordering ...

There is increasing evidence of the relevant connection and regulation between the gut and skin immune axis. In fact, oral administration of lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) prevents the development of UV-induced skin tumors in chronically exposed mice. Here we aim to evaluate whether this LTA is able to revert UV-induc...

A radiative transfer model for the determination of UV radiation on arbitrarily oriented surfaces is validated by measurements of a UV spectroradiometer taken directly on the inner surface of a cockpit window of an Airbus A321-231 during a flight from Frankfurt, Germany to Málaga, Spain on August 23, 2018. The simulations consider the UV spectral r...
