1 Various units are used to refer to the measurement of a fiber, such as: the denier and tex (linear mass density of fibers), super S (fineness of wool fiber), worsted count, woolen count, cotton count (or Number English Ne), Number metric (Nm) and yield (the reciprocal of denier and tex).hread count or threads per inch (TPI) is a measure of the coarseness or fineness of fabric. It is measured by counting the number of threads contained in one square inch of fabric or one square centimeter, including both the length (warp) and width (weft) threads.
However, in the stratosphere, our friend the ozone layer is especially good at absorbing UV radiation; which shields us from most of these high-energy rays, and also heats this layer as the UV photons transfer their energy to the oxygen (ozone is an unusual type of oxygen molecule, O 3) molecules.
For nearly a billion years, ozone molecules in the atmosphere have protected life on Earth from the effects of ultraviolet rays. The ozone layer resides in the stratosphere and surrounds the entire Earth. UV-B radiation (280- to 315- nanometer (nm) wavelength) from the Sun is partially absorbed in this layer.As a result, the amount of UV-B reaching Earth s surface is greatly reduced.he ozone layer resides in the stratosphere and surrounds the entire Earth.
