Ultraviolet radiation, a major risk factor for skin cancer, is also the most avoidable; yet, skin cancer has become the most common malignancy in the U.S. Researches agree that because exposure in childhood may increase the risks, primary prevention must start early in life, when habits, attitudes and lifestyle patterns are still being formed. At the Arizona Cancer Center, a National cancer Institute-designated center at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center, researchers evaluated the effectiveness of a prevention curriculum for children in Grades 4 through 6. the goal was to increase the youngsters knowledge of skin cancer prevention and to decrease the sun exposure. Called Sunny Days, Healthy Ways, the two-year study - funded by the Arizona Disease Control Research Commission - involved 447 pupils from four public elementary schools in southern Arizona. The study was directed by David B. Buller, the principal investigator on the project. Products & Services
Color and appearance instruments are used to measure the properties of paints and coatings including color, gloss, haze and transparency.
Color sensors register items by contrast, true color, or translucent index. True color sensors are based on one of the color models, most commonly the RGB model (red, green, blue).
Dimensional and profile scanners gather two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) information about an object.
