New constraints on the continuum-emission mechanism of AGN: Intensive monitoring of NGC 7469 in the X-ray and ultraviolet [PDF]
We have undertaken near-continuous monitoring of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 7469 in the X-ray with RXTE over a ~30d baseline. The source shows strong variability with a root-mean-square (rms) amplitude of ~16 per cent, and peak-to-peak variations of a ...

Report on some Biological Responses to High Electric Fields and Indirect Action of Ultraviolot Rays [PDF]
The similarities of effects produced hy radiation, electric field, ultraviolet rays and ozone on the platelet and blood corpuscles suggest the presence of a common factor. It is assumed that the effects of radiation is due the hydroperoxyl radical and we

X-ray confirmation of the intermediate polar HTCam [PDF]
We report on the first pointed X-ray observations with XMM-Newton and RXTE satellites of the X-ray source RXJ0757.0+6306 = HT Cam. We detect a strong 515 s X-ray modulation confirming the optical photometric period found in 1998, which definitively ...

Possible values of UV index in Serbia [PDF]
INTRODUCTION UV Index is an indicator of human exposure to solar ultraviolet (UV) rays. The numerical values of the UV Index range from 1-11 and above. There are three levels of protection against UV radiation; low values of the UV Index - protection is ...

Formation of fatty acid esterified vitamin D3 in rat skin by exposure to ultraviolet radiation
The formation of fatty acid esters of vitamin D3 was demonstrated in rat skin exposed to artificial ultraviolet rays by using multi-dimensional high-performance liquid chromatography, ultraviolet spectrophotometry, and gas-liquid chromatography-mass ...

Compression of extreme-ultraviolet ultrashort pulses by grating configurations [PDF]
The design and realization of grating instruments to condition the spectral phase of ultrashort extreme-ultraviolet pulses are discussed. The main application of such configurations is the temporal compression of pulses by compensating the phase chirp ...
