Radiation activation

Protection appears to be mediated by PKC activation. Radiation induces b-EGE production by these cells, allowing a survival-associated positive autocrine loop to develop. 

In order to formulate an answer to the obviously important question of the length of this interval of acceleration and to ascertain under what conditions it may be long enough to observe experimentally, we shall examine the non-steady-state interval from the point of view of reaction kinetics. Let us suppose, however, that the polymerization is photoinitiated, with or without the aid of a sensitizer. It is then possible to commence the generation of radicals abruptly by exposure of the polymerization cell to the active radiation (usually in the near ultraviolet), and the considerable period required for temperature equilibration in an otherwise initiated polymerization can be avoided. Then the rate of generation of radicals (see p. 114) will be 2//a s, and the rate of their destruction 2kt [M ]. Hence... 

The above also shows that even in the cases where a well-defined initial act, such as dissociation, is necessary, we may not expect to find a sharp photochemical threshold. (Compare reference (2), page 249.) And for other than monochromatic radiation the restriction mentioned at the outset must evidently be that a photochemical temperature coefficient due to the influence of temperature on light absorption can appear to its full extent only in cases where there is small fractional reduction in the intensity of the active radiation.

The photo synthetic aquatic biomass comprises cyanobacteria (formerly called blue-green algae), planktonic, filamentous and macrophytic algae, and vascular macrophytes. The net productivity of the floodwater depends on the level of primary production by the photosynthetic biomass versus its consumption by grazing animals, particularly cladocerans, copepods, ostracods, insect larvae and molluscs. Their role will change as the canopy develops and at a leaf area index of about 6-7 there will be no more photosynthetically active radiation available to them. 

FM = fresh mass DM = dry mass PAR = photosynthetically active radiation. 

Photoresists are photosensitive films used for the transfer of images onto a substrate (60). A coating layer of a photoresist is formed on a substrate and the photoresist layer is then exposed through a photomask to a source of activating radiation. Exposure to radiation provides a photoinduced reaction in the coating layer. After exposure, the photoresist is developed to provide a relief image that permits selective processing of a substrate.

Irradiation Measurements. An Epply photometer with sensors for total global irradiance, photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), and ultraviolet (UV) radiation (295-385 nm) was used to measure irradiance continuously and averaged a measurement every 0.5 h.

Moreover, the use of solar light as a source of activating radiation represents an interesting future perspective on which many studies are focused. 

High light intensity may have decreased the concentration of secondary metabolites if the plants were stressed by the high irradiance (see the environmental stress theory, Section IV.D). The plants grown at 100% of surface irradiance probably received high doses of ultraviolet radiation as well as photosynthetically active radiation. Ultraviolet radiation can stress Dictyota ciliolata, leading to decreased concentrations of secondary metabolites.183...
