Angie Franzke's concentrating solar collector won first place last Friday in both the Schoofs Prize for Creativity and the Tong Prototype Prize, winning $12,500. Instead of the mirror...Lack of solar radiation causes cancer
Exposure to UV-B radiation may cause skin cancer, but it also prevents many other cancers through activating vitamin D. According to many, UV-B - the solar radiation that causes sunburn// - as a risk factor for melanoma, and other skin cancers. That is generally true, but what is not generally realised is that the reverse may also be the case - that UV-B prevents cancer. Dr.William Gr...Solarium use is associated with an increased risk of skin cancer
The incidence of melanoma has increased rapidly in the last half century, and officials at the American Academy of Dermatology, said about 50,000 Americans will be diagnosed with it this year.The study, which analyzed the lifestyles and melanoma risks for women between the ages of 30 and 50,// found what the researchers said was the strongest evidence yet that artificial sun tanning can be dan...Link Between Solar Flares And Strokes Under Study
Scientists are seeking a possible link between solar energy surges and the occurrence of strokes in human beings//. Neurologists who traced about 6,800 strokes and related cerebral attacks in a region of Slovakia are studying whether solar cycles, solar wind and geomagnetic storms on Earth may be somehow connected to human health. Michal Kovac and a colleague at a neurolog...Changes in Solar Brightness Too Weak to Explain Global Warming
Changes in the Sun's brightness over the past millennium have had only a small effect on Earth's climate, according to a review of existing results and new calculations// performed by researchers in the United States, Switzerland, and Germany. The review, led by Peter Foukal (Heliophysics, Inc.), appears in the September 14 issue of Nature. Among the coauthors is Tom Wigley of the Nati...Solarc Surgical Headlight System
