Light qualities are considered to affect many plant physiological processes during growth and development. To investigate how light make an influence on tomato seedlings under greenhouse conditions, the morphological parameters of (Fortizia F1RC hybrid) were studied three supplemental irradiations such as light-emitting diodes with nanoparticle coating (LED 1—Red diodes); Blue, Green, Yellow, R...

Plants growing in high-light environments during winter often exhibit leaf reddening due to synthesis of anthocyanin pigments, which are thought to alleviate photooxidative stress associated with low-temperature photoinhibition through light attenuation and/or antioxidant activity. Seasonal high-light stress can be further exacerbated by a limited photosynthetic capacity, such as nitrogen-defic...

BACKGROUND Red ginseng is prepared by steaming raw ginseng, a process believed to increase the pharmacological efficacy. Further bioconversion of red ginseng through fermentation is known to increase its intestinal absorption and bioactivity, and bioconversion diminishes the toxicity of red ginseng's metabolite. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of daily supplementation with f...

This study aims to evaluate the effect of LED lighting during incubation of Fayoumi eggs on hatchability and hatch chick performance. The experiment was carried out in three groups with total number of 2100 eggs. Eggs were incubated 24 h of complete darkness (G1); 24 h of complete LED lighting (G2); and 12 h of LED lighting then 12 h of darkness (G3). From the obtained results, there were no ef...

Light plays a vital role on the growth and development of plant. On the base of white light with high color rendering to the benefit of human survival and life, we proposed to improve "color rendering" of LED lighting for accelerating the growth of lettuce. Seven spectral LED lights were adopted to irradiate the lettuces under 150 μmol·m-2·s-1 for a 16 hd-1 photoperiod. The leaf area and number...

This paper presents the design and develops of voltage acceptability curves for LED lamps. It is done with the mathematical representation of DC bus voltage of LED lamps internal ballast circuit during voltage sags. First, experimental analysis was done to determine the effect of voltage sag of LED lamp. From the findings on the variation of DC bus voltage during voltage sag, a mathematical equ...

This paper introduces display design process about hardware and software based on AT89C52 single chip microcomputer. We use a simple external circuit to control the display screen, which size is 32 × 192. The display screen also can display the size of the six 32 × 32 dot matrix Chinese characters by a dynamic scan mode, and can be divided into two small display screen, which can display twenty...

By Smmcio PIOMELLI, DAviD G. NATHAN, JAMES F. CUMMINS, AND FRANK H. GARDNER With the technical assistance of Alvera L. Liniauro I HE MAINTENANCE of red cell volume in man depends upon constant production of erythrocytes to replace effete cells destroyed following their 120 day sojourn in the circulation. The bone marrow performs this function in a singularly constant manner in man, renewing the...

Since Adrian and Metthew [1], light may be considered the dominant stimulus for the brain. This statement is confirmed after the discovery of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that regulates the master biological clock [2]. In 1998 the discovery of photopigment melanopsin in the ganglion cells of the retina, give new insight in the importance of the light in the pathophysiology of the brain [3]...

In the present study, the effects of red and blue LED lights on the accumulation of ascorbic acid (AsA) were investigated in the juice sacs of three citrus varieties, Satsuma mandarin, Valencia orange, and Lisbon lemon. The results showed that the blue LED light treatment effectively increased the AsA content in the juice sacs of the three citrus varieties, whereas the red LED light treatment d...
