Effect of UV radiation on the spectral fingerprints of earth-like planets orbiting m stars by Rugheimer, S, Kaltenegger, L, Segura, A, Linsky, J, Mohanty, S

“… <p style="text-align:justify;"> We model the atmospheres and spectra of Earth-like planets orbiting the entire grid of M dwarfs for active and inactive stellar models with T_eff = 2300 K to T_eff = 3800 K and for six observed MUSCLES M dwarfs with UV radiation data. We set the Earth-like planets at the 1 AU equivalent distance and show spectra from the visible to IR (0.4–20 μm) to compare detectability of features in different wavelength ranges with the James Webb Space Telescope and other future ground- and spaced-based missions to characterize exo-Earths. …”

Transmissive diamond photocathodes by Foord, J, Lau, C, Hirarnatsu, M

“…The characteristics are found to be insensitive to the phase purity of differing diamond membranes used, but are very dependent on whether the growth or substrate interfaces of the diamond membrane face the incident UV radiation. The factors influencing the characteristics observed are discussed. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. …”

Sum frequency generation at 309 nm using a violet and a near-IR DFB diode laser for detection of OH by Corner, L, Gibb, J, Hancock, G, Hutchinson, A, Kasyutich, V, Peverall, R, Ritchie, G

“…We have used a violet diode laser at 404 nm and a distributed feedback diode laser at 1320 nm to produce 0.8 nW of radiation at 309 nm by sum frequency generation in beta-barium borate. The UV radiation was tuned mode-hop-free over 30 GHz and used to detect OH radicals produced in a microwave discharge. …”

Analysing the structure and glass transition behaviour of silks for archaeology and conservation by Wang, J, Guan, J, Hawkins, N, Vollrath, F

The Role of the Immune System in Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma. by Bottomley, M, Thomson, J, Harwood, C, Leigh, I

“…In common with many malignancies, leucocyte populations are both protective against cancer development and also play a role in 'sculpting' the nascent tumor, leading to loss of immunogenicity and tumor progression. UV radiation and chronic viral carriage may represent unique risk factors for cSCC development, and the immune system plays a key role in modulating the response to both. …”
