Résumé :
The capacity of human skin to increase it's pigmentation in response to sunlight is an important protective mechanism employed by the body against the potential harmful effects of excess ultraviolet radiation These include the development of skin cancer and premature aging of the skin. Intense scientific research, particularly over the past two decades, has led to a greater understanding of the biology of the pigment producing cells in the skin, melanocytes, and their secretory product, melanin. Melanocyte function in the skin depends on a delicate and complex interaction with the surrounding

Résumé :
The "DNA Damage Hypothesis" pertaining to the evolution of sex was tested using Hydra littoralis. DNA damage was produced by irradiating whole live hydra with ultraviolet light. A curve of uv light dosage vs. survival was constructed. Estimations of threshold fluence and LD50 were made from the survival curve. In four separate experiments, using various combinations of environmental temperatures, uv doses, and number of doses, frequencies of asexual and sexual reproduction were observed and compared. The hydra that received uv treatments did not show an increase in the consequent amount of sex

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation damages both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells by causing the formation of free radicals which damage cell membranes and DNA. Antioxidant vitamins have been shown to protect cells from UV-induced damage by scavenging free radicals. The protection of skin and its normal flora is necessary for the health of individuals in resisting diseases caused by microorganisms and delaying the long-term damage caused by UV radiation.This research investigated the effects of the antioxidants vitamin A and ascorbic acid, as well as UV-irradiation on both prokaryotic (Staphylococcus e

Alpine zooplankton are exposed to a variety of stressors in their natural environment including ultraviolet radiation. Physiological coping mechanisms such as the accumulation of photoprotective compounds provide these zooplankton protection from many of these stressors. Elevated levels of carotenoid compounds such as astaxanthin have been shown to help zooplankton survive longer when exposed to ultraviolet radiation presumably due to the strong antioxidant properties of carotenoid compounds.

Résumé :
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

Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Master of Technology Radiography (Diagnostic) in the Faculty of Health and Wellness Sciences at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology 2009<br>Since their discovery in 1895, the use of x-rays is continuously evolving in medicine making the diagnosis of injuries and diseases more practicable. It is therefore not surprising that x-rays contribute 90% of the radiation dose to the population from manmade sources (DWP, 1992). Moreover, these radiation doses are associated with both fatal and non-fatal cancer risk

Résumé :
Thesis (MTech Biomedical Technology)--Cape Peninsula University of Cape Town, 2005<br>In clinical radiotherapy, experiments are performed to determine optimal conditions of the radiation prior to radiotherapy. These experiments focus on the relative biological effectivness(RBE) determination and are predominantly applied in high linear energy transfer (LET) radiations i.e. fast neutrons, as the RBE values for such radiations vary greatly. In general, the RBE of a certain radiation relative to a given reference radiation flCo gamma) varies widely with the energy, dose, dose rate, frac
