Sun-bathing and Sun-lamps

AJN, American Journal of Nursing, 1933
physicists have helped to increase our knowledge of the nature of light. Still, even today, we do not know exactly what light is. Many different theories are held. One of the most recent, and that which well explains the action of ultraviolet on the body, is as follows. Light is composed of billions of light particles. These light particles are so tiny

Rotation of the Sun

Science, 1967
Dicke has interpreted his recent measurement of the sun's oblateness as implying a fast (1.8-day period) rotation of the solar radiative interior. We find that differentially rotating solar models, such as the one proposed by Dicke, are unstable. The rate of turbulent diffusion in the unstable regions of these models is so rapid that it appears to ...

The Sun, Sun Myths, and Sun Worship

1976
Most of us take the sun for granted. We know it to be a heavenly body subject to the same laws of physics that govern events on earth. For example, we know that the earth’s axis is not vertical to the earth’s orbit around the sun; that the resultant oblique angles at which the sun’s rays strike the earth cause seasonal variation in radiation (as Figure

Sun Exposure and Melanomas on Sun-Shielded and Sun-Exposed Body Areas

2014
Malignant melanoma is a tumor that arises from melanocytes and accounts for around 4% of all malignancies in Europe and Northern America and for about 11% in Australia and New Zealand. About 10% of primary melanomas arise from sites not exposed to sun. Acral lentiginous melanoma, mucosal melanoma (in the oral cavities, nasal sinuses, genital tract and ...

The sun-clock

Journal of Scientific Instruments, 1925
The instrument described consists of a sundial geared to the hands of a clock and gives Greenwich mean time without observing a shadow or manipulating sliding scales. It is the invention of Professor W. E.

The magnetic Sun

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2008
The nature of our star, the Sun, is dominated by its complex and variable magnetic fields. It is the purpose of this paper to review the fundamental nature of our magnetic Sun by outlining the most basic principles behind the way the Sun works and how its fields are generated, and to examine not only the historical observations of our magnetic star ...

[Sun and sun protection].

Ugeskrift for laeger, 1994
Protection against the sun in Denmark is only necessary from mid April to September. The number of erythema units may reach about 16 per day in the summer sun and about 50% of the biological active radiation is found between 12 a.m. and 3 p.m. (summertime).

Rising Sun and Setting Sun

Diogenes, 2003
It is more than a century since what we call the ‘history of religions’ was discovered and has been studied. But only recently have we realized that the ‘geography of religions’ is just as important. East and West are essential geopolitical categories, determined by cultural, historical and even religious differences: an Indian and a Swedish Catholic ...

The Rotation of the Sun

Scientific American, 1975
Observations of solar rotation are reviewed. There are two basic methods of determining the rotation of the sun. One is to measure the daily or monthly positions of tracers on the surface or in the corona, and the other is to measure line‐of‐sight velocities with the Doppler effect in spectrum lines.
