The Impact of Aerosols on Solar Ultraviolet Radiation and Photochemical Smog R. R. Dickerson*‚ S. Kondragunta‚ G. Stenchikov‚ K. L. Civerolo‚ B. G. Doddridge‚ B. N. Holben ABSTRACT Photochemical smog‚ or ground-level ozone‚ has been the most recalcitrant of air pollution problems‚ but reductions in emissions of sulfur and hydrocarbons may yield unanticipated benefits in air quality. While sulfate and some organic aerosol particles scatter solar radiation back into space and can cool Earth ’s

Feynman’s famous lecture “ There are plenty of rooms in the bottom” in 1959. This area surely brings many challenges‚ but at the same time opens limitless potential and opportunities in every aspects of human life. The video “Nanospace: A voyage into ultra-microscopic worlds – Part 1: The atom revealed” is a fascinating story telling a brief history of nanoscience and scientists’ endless efforts to travel to the nanoworld. This inspiring video gives me a clearer imagination about the nanoworld‚ as well

Abstract: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and its detrimental effects on plant life have been widely researched. This research studies the effects of UV radiation on sex-determination in Ceratopteris richardii. Sex determination in Ceratopteris richardii is determined by antheridiogen‚ a pheromone that promotes maleness. In this experiment‚ UV radiation was used on the wild type and mutants Her1‚ which are insensitive to the male-inducing pheromone (does not form male gametophytes). Ceratopteris richardii
