Design and construction of the MicroBooNE detector
This paper describes the design and construction of the MicroBooNE liquid
argon time projection chamber and associated systems. MicroBooNE is the first
phase of the Short Baseline Neutrino program, located at Fermilab, and will
utilize the capabilities of liquid argon detectors to examine a rich assortment
of physics topics. In this document details of design specifications, assembly
procedures, and acceptance tests are reported
Relations between excretion of indole melanogen (TPM) and time of exposure to solar radiation
Introduction. In the human skin exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, melanogenesis occurs in two stages, accompanied
by urinary excretion of Thormalen-positive melanogen (TPM). In Poland, no data are available on the course and intensity
of melanogonesis in relation to UV exposure in an industrial region.
Material and methods. The Thormalen test was used for the collected samples (N=136) as modified by Matous and Suchoń.
Results. Maximum environmental TPM content (0.67 μg/dm3) was observed in August.
Conclusion. The time of UV exposure and local type of solar radiation promote melanogenesis
