It takes more than sunscreen to keep the sun’s ultraviolet rays from harming your skin. The type of clothing you wear can offer

protection, too — or not. Studies have shown that some lightweight fabrics do not provide enough UV protection.

But it is not just the type of fiber and the weave of the fabric that matters, but also the color. Ascención Riva of the Polytechnic

University of Catalonia and colleagues have addressed the color issue, studying the effects of different dyes on the UV

protection provided by lightweight woven cottons.

The researchers chose three fabrics, not dyed, with different initial levels of UV protection based on the weave and other factors.

Then they dyed them in varying shades of blue, red and yellow and measured how much UV radiation was absorbed and

transmitted.

They found that red and blue shades performed better than yellow, particularly in blocking UV-B rays, which are the most

harmful. Protection increased as the shades were made darker and more intense. And if the initial protection level of the fabric

was higher, the darker shades offered even greater improvement.

The researchers say the findings, reported in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research, should help fabric and garment

manufacturers optimize their products for UV protection.

O título mais adequado para o artigo é:

WORLD REACTS TO OBAMA PEACE PRIZE

US President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his "extraordinary efforts" to build diplomacy and promote

nuclear disarmament. [...] Here is a round-up of world reaction to the award as reported by news agencies.

IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER MANOUCHEHR MOTTAKI

We have no objection if this prize is an incentive to reverse the warmongering and unilateral policies of the previous US

administration and if this encourages a policy based on just peace.

The appropriate time for awarding such a prize is when foreign military forces leave Iraq and Afghanistan and when one stands

by the rights of the oppressed Palestinian people.

ANGELA MERKEL, GERMAN CHANCELLOR

In a short time he has established a new tone, creating willingness for dialogue and I think we all should support him to make

peace in this world possible. There is a lot to do but a window of opportunity has been opened. His advocacy of a world free of

nuclear arms is an aim we all need to make real in the next few years.

TALIBAN SPOKESMAN ZABIHULLAH MUJAHID

We have seen no change in his strategy for peace. He has done nothing for peace in Afghanistan. He has not taken a single

step for peace in Afghanistan or to make this country stable.

We condemn the award of the Nobel Peace Prize for Obama. We condemn the institute\\'s awarding him the peace prize. We

condemn this year\\'s peace prize as unjust.

HAMAS LEADER ISMAIL HANIYEH

We are in need of actions, not sayings. If there is no fundamental and true change in American policies toward the

acknowledgment of the rights of the Palestinian people, I think this prize won\\'t move us forward or backward.
