RESUMO
A calibration of three types of GafChromic radiochromic film (HS, MD-55, and HD-810) was carried out on the Crocker Nuclear Laboratory's 76 in. cyclotron at UC Davis over doses ranging from 0.001 to 15 kGy. The film was digitized with a scanning microdensitometer with which it was scanned twice with two different filters to increase the film's effective dynamic range. We demonstrate how this calibrated film can be used to measure the spectrum and total energy of a laser generated proton beam. This technique was applied to an experiment on the 10 J, 100 fs Callisto laser at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The resulting proton spectrum was compared to that obtained by simultaneous measurement of Ti nuclear activation; the two methods give the same proton beam slope temperature and agree in number of protons to within 27%.

The purpose of this study was to determine the photoprotective properties of the methanolic extract of Buddleja scordioides, as well as verbascoside and linarin which were isolated from this extract, and linarin acetate prepared in the laboratory. The photoprotective effect of substances against UV-B induced cellular death was evaluated by challenge experiments using Escherichia coli. Verbascoside and linarin acetate showed the highest protection. The sun protection factor (SPF) of the methanolic extract, linarin, linarin acetate, and verbascoside was evaluated by guinea pig bioassays. Verbascoside showed the largest SPF measurement.
