After characterization of preferred conditions for Helicobacter pylori survival in the sessile state, it was observed that the bacterium transforms from spiral to coccoid under mild circumstances, whereas under extreme ones it is unable to undergo shape modification. This strongly supports the view that transformation into the coccoid form is an active, biologically led process, switched on by ...

The planing of sustainable development and of economic activities in the marine environment requires long term information about the prevailing environmental conditions. For the design of marine and coastal protection structures detailed knowledge on local wave conditions is an essential prerequisite. To estimate the risk which emerges from local wave conditions knowledge on both, the wave clim...

In the marine environment the planing of the sustainable development of economic activities requires long term information about the prevailing environmental conditions. Detailed knowledge on local wave conditions is an essential prerequisite for designing marine and coastal protection structures. To estimate the risk which emerges from local wave conditions knowledge on both, the wave climatol...

The sunlight has an important role in metabolism of calcium ( Ca) and phosphorus ( P). The sunlight has different effects in different places. Therefore  the pattern of metabolic disease depends upon geographical place. In this investigation two groups of workers( one group working in shadow and the other under the sunshine) were chosen as control and experimental groups respectively.these two ...

Spring 2020 broke sunshine duration records across western Europe. The Netherlands recorded the highest surface irradiance since 1928, exceeding previous extreme of 2011 by 13 %, and diffuse fraction measured a record low percentage (38 %). coinciding reduction in anthropogenic pollution due to COVID-19 measures triggered hypothesis that cleaner-than-usual air contributed record. Based on analy...

Ultraviolet (UV) light is the most common cause of radiation injury to the eye which in acute exposure causes photokeratitis and photoconjunctivitis. After a whole day exposure to the sun on the Mediteranian coast patient presented with mixed conjunctival injection, chemosis, edematous corneal epithelium with superficially present fluoresceine positive small pinpoint defects. Epithelial bullous...
