Rational determination of real‐life UV exposure across latitudes: An extended Diffey‐based model integrating behavioural factors

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
This study models real‐life UVB and UVA exposure across latitudes and seasons using an extended Diffey framework with behavioural corrections. Findings reveal predictable dose patterns and support pragmatic SPF and UVA‐PF caps, offering a quantitative basis for realistic photoprotection and regulatory discussion.

Inverse photovoltaic yield model for global horizontal irradiance reconstruction

Energy Science & Engineering, 2017
AbstractThis article describes the method of deriving Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) from combining power measurements with static meta data (tilt, orientation, brand/type) of rooftop photovoltaic (PV)‐systems. This inverse PV model implements a forward yield model that is based on a modified Orgill and Hollands decomposition model and the Perez ...

Impact of the invasive diatom species Cymbella janischii on riverine microbial biofilm communities and a potential role of bacterially produced zeatin

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The diatom Cymbella janischii is an invasive species in Japan, causing nuisance blooms by forming thick mats in rivers. To date, there are no documented studies on the microbiome associations in C. janischii mats or the processes that drive bloom formation.

Modeling of the geographical distribution of two forest‐forming fucoids in the Strait–Alboran demarcation (southern Iberian Peninsula): Implications for conservation and restoration

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine forests formed by canopy‐forming brown algae of the former Cystoseira complex are key habitat‐forming components of Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, supporting biodiversity and multiple ecosystem functions. However, many populations have declined in recent decades due to increasing anthropogenic pressures and climate change, raising ...

Thermal Safety Margins and Peak Leaf Temperatures Predict Vulnerability of Diverse Plant Species to an Experimental Heatwave

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...

Characterization and parameters for the effectiveness of a UV‐C device for infection control in dental clinics

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Purpose‐built UV‐C device achieves over 90% disinfection of high‐touch dental clinic surfaces. Abstract Healthcare‐associated infections (HAIs) remain a significant concern in dental settings, especially in light of increasing antimicrobial resistance.

Evaluating tools for predicting and measuring radiometric performance of germicidal ultraviolet systems

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
An evaluation of simulation and measurement tools for germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) systems is presented to inform their design and deployment to control the spread of airborne pathogens. Abstract Germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) air treatment technologies can be effective and safe for reducing airborne disease transmission.

Application of explainable machine learning for estimating direct and diffuse components of solar irradiance

Scientific Reports
The inclusion of diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI) and direct normal irradiance (DNI) is crucial in the context of solar energy applications. However, most solar irradiance instruments primarily prioritize the measurement of global horizontal ...
