All artificial lighting devices undergo some color shift over the course of their useful lifetime. Unlike incandescent and halogen lamps, which display a gradual shift along the Plankian locus, energy-efficient lamps degrade Color-Correlated Temperature (CCT), in a non-blackbody manner. This exacerbates a generally poor appearance, and can impede public acceptance, especially among residential ...

Introduction: Best radiography practice involves operational optimal machine performance, delivering cost-effective healthcare services under appropriate safety conditions for workers and the public. The present study aimed to investigate the safety status of diagnostic X-ray installations in Mizoram, India. Material and Methods: Lineari...

We describe a new paradigm for three-dimensional computer graphics, using projectors to graphically animate physical objects in the real world. The idea is to replace a physical object with its inherent color, texture, and material properties with a neutral object and projected imagery, reproducing the original (or alternative) appearance directly on the object. Because the approach is to effec...

In this paper, the authors discuss the results of a measurement survey of artificial optical radiation emitted by 8 W LED tubes suitable for the substitution of 18 W fluorescent lamps used for general lighting. For both types of lamps, three different color temperatures were chosen, 3000 K, 4000 K, and 6000 K. These measurements were performed to evaluate the photobiological safety of the sourc...

Photography with electronic-flasli lamps has become such a commonplace in recent years, among_stamateurs as well as professionals, that these lamps now rival in importance the older combustion-type flash bulbs. This is evident from the fact that the annual world production of electronic-flash units has been roughly half a m_illion over the past five years. Assuming that each outfit is used on t...

Introduction: Regular implementation of quality control (QC) program in diagnostic X-ray facilities may affect both image quality and patient radiation dose due to the changes in exposure parameters. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the status of randomly selected conventional radiographic X-ray devices installed in radiology centers of Great Khorasan Province, Iran, to produce the da...

In this paper will be reported the study and implementation of a single stage High Power Factor (HPF) electronic ballast for High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps using a LCC filter. In the recent years many authors are working to obtain single stage HPF electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps [1][2]. Normally to obtain HPF in electronic ballast for high pressure sodium lamps a Power Factor Preregu...
