On Solar Radiation and Immune Deficiency, Man and the Biosphere, and Climate

摘要

This year has been marked by some progress in a number of directions. Problem of Immunodeficiency. It seems to me that in co-operation with Prof. P.P. Fedchenko (my former post-graduate student), we've managed to achieve a certain breakthrough in our studies of the impact of the fine spectral distribution of solar radiation within a number of Fraunhofer lines [dark lines in the solar spectrum—ed.], on the evolution of the biosphere. We've conducted these studies for almost 20 years (first relevant papers were published during the second half of the 1980s) to substantiate a new concept based on consideration of the special role of Fraunhofer lines in biospheric evolution.
