The effects of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on photosynthesis and
various partial reactions involving the individual photoreactions of
photosynthesis were examined. These reactions included photo-reduction in adapted green algae, Hill reaction, cyclic photophosphorylation,
the 520 nm absorbance change and variable-yield fluorescence.
The reactions were measured in spinach chloroplasts and
isolated chloroplasts...

Changes in blood calcium and phosphorus concentrations were
characterized for rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) and coho salmon
(Oncorhynchus kisutch) following intense exercise or exposure to
suspended volcanic ash or topsoil. Significant elevations in blood
calcium and phosphorus accompanied exercise-induced acidemia in both
S. qairdneri and O. kisutch. These elevations persisted...
