La décontamination bactériologique des surfaces par lumière pulsée est un enjeu de société qui requiert le développement de nouveaux outils. Une technique ayant prouvée son efficacité est l'utilisation de lumière pulsée dans le domaine de longueur d'onde 200-280 nm (bande d'absorption de l'ADN). Dans ce travail, nous avons étudié deux sources, Décharge à Barrière Diélectrique (DBD) et réseaux de microdécharges permettant de générer un rayonnement à 222 nm correspondant à l'émission de l'exciplexe KrCl*.

Les faisceaux lasers de hautes puissances déclenchent durant leur propagation la formation d’effets nonlinéaires.

Stratospheric ozone is known to be the most important atmospheric factor determining clear sky UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface. There are, however, other effects that influence the UV radiant energy transfer: cloud cover, aerosols, tropospheric ozone, and other gaseous pollutants. The relationships between various phenomena taking place in the atmosphere are complex and not well known. Therefore, ground based UV measurements are necessary to explore atmospheric changes and resultant effects on the biosphere and on the life.

Growth responses to supplementary ultraviolet-B (UV-B+A) were mostly inhibitory when compared to the ambient daylight treatment for Bellis perennis, Cardamine pratensis, Cynosurus critatus and Ranunculus ficaria. When the response of ultraviolet-A (UVA) treated plants were compared with those of the UV-B+A, differences were found which varied according to the species and parameter investigated.

Abstract:
Ultraviolet radiation causes an alteration in DNA by modifying neighboring thymine bases resulting in the formation of a dimer. These dimers block the processes of transcription and translation and ultimately no protein is synthesized and the cell dies. However, DNA repair mechanisms correct this damage by excising the dimer from the DNA strand and inserting replacement bases which are joined to the original strand by DNA ligase. This allows transcription to resume and ultimately protein synthesis to take place.This research focused on determining the DNA damage and subsequent repair levels in

While this technology sounds promising, whether or not farmers choose to adopt the technology, on what scale, or when, is often ambiguous. These decisions are depe

Sunlight is essential to plants as the main energy source for photosynthesis, yet excess light that cannot be processed in photosynthesis can be damaging. Australian plants are regularly exposed to very intense light, enriched in ultraviolet (UV) radiation, placing them at direct risk of photodamage. Low inorganic phosphate (Pi) availability, characteristic of Australian soils, can reduce the energy threshold of photosynthesis and exacerbate photodamage. Whilst intense light and low Pi are common in Australian ecosystems, relatively little is known about the strategies generalist plant species

Abstract It has been suggested that pine needles protect themselves against UV-B radiation via anatomical and chemical changes in the epidermal layer. This could lead to growth reductions if more assimilates are allocated to the protection mechanisms in the epidermis at the expense of the photosynthetic area. If the protection is insufficient, the UV-B radiation could cause oxidative stress. Moreover, the UV-B-induced stress could increase year by year and the responses could become cumulative. Therefore, two different UV-B field experiments were conducted at two sites. The first was a long-te
