Scientists suggest fluorescence measurement will improve jaundice testing and therapy. by Skoltech_

With my recent experiments in solar cooking, I know there is not a relationship with the air temperature and the solar light frequencies needed for this treatment. I was able to easily cook scrambled eggs in an iron pan when the outside temperature was around 36 degrees Farenheit.

Cloudy climates. High latitudes where the sun shines a few hours or less in winter.
