This is because the melanocytes are located in the stratum basale. Lighter-skinned people usually have low basal levels, and exposure to UV radiation causes an increase which makes skin darker.
I would think that the firearm should be passed over the fence and not carried in the hands if it is a rifle to avoid it accidentally going off and make sure that it is not loaded or with no shells in the chamber for safety because it could conceivably fire if the bearer fell while crossing the fence.
Periderm is the corky outer layer of a plant stem which the plant creates as a result of an injury or infection so as to protect itself further. Protoderm is the thin layer which covers embryos, as well as the root and stems, and later produces epidermis, which is the outer layer of tissue of plants (anywhere where periderm doesn't cover them).
ABI means Ankle-Brachial Index. ABI is a test used to diagnose peripheral artery
disease. The ABI compares
blood pressure in the ankle to blood pressure in the arm, shows how well blood is flowing in the
limbs and indicates if there is any or no blockage or rigid arteries. The amount of blockage establishes
the level of peripheral artery disease.
