Rapid development in electrical technology has imposed strong challenges to modern power system. Power quality become a great concern due proliferation of electronic loads. Specifically for lighting load such as compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), one the concerning issues is harmonics. CFL cost-competitive and energy efficient compared incandescent lamp. Inevitably, produces harmonics current no...

A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for rapid and sensitive detection of the L. ivanovii strains had been developed and evaluated in this study. Oligonucleotide primers specific for L. ivanovii species were designed corresponding to smcL gene sequences. The primers set comprise six primers targeting eight regions on the species-specific gene smcL. The LAMP assay could be compl...

An important wood species in the furniture and parquet industry today is “doussie” wood. In this study, effects of artificial weathering on ultraviolet-cured varnish (3 coats 5 coats) applied to doussie (Afzelia africana) were investigated. The samples UV system cured varnishes exposed aging for 252 h 504 via an UV-A 340 nm lamp. coated specimens fluorescent lamp a QUV accelerated tester h. sur...

The global vegetable market demands rigorous quality analysis of potato crops to define their reasonable price. Highly accurate machine learning-based automated defect detection systems are necessary for this rising market. On the other hand, artificial illuminating lamps used in these learning decisive determining accuracy. Artificial should provide a perception color that is as similar possib...

We demonstrate an integrated microneedle (MN)-smartphone nucleic acid amplification platform for “sample-to-answer” diagnosis of multiplexed plant pathogens within 30 min. This portable system consists a polymeric MN patch rapid extraction minute and 3D-printed smartphone imaging device loop-mediated isothermal (LAMP) reaction detection. expanded the technology DNA targets as in previous study ...

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved process used for removing surplus and damaged proteins and organelles from the cytoplasm. The unwanted material is incorporated into autophagosomes that eventually fuse with lysosomes, leading to the degradation of their cargo. The fusion event is mediated by the interaction between the Qa-SNARE syntaxin-17 (STX17) on autophagosomes and the R-SNARE VAMP8...

This paper presents a simple alternative of automatic luminous control for electronic ballasts operating in selfsustained oscillating mode feeding fluorescent lamps to energy saving. The luminous flux level control is based on a signal from a lighting dependent resistor, which measures the luminous flux level. The dimming feature is obtained using switching frequency variation. Thus, the circui...

This paper describes the development of nucleic acid detection in paper using a combination of commercial fluorescent probes and DNA ladders, and provides us with a better understanding of the interactions between double-stranded DNA (the amplified products in this study), fiber structures in paper, and fluorescent probes. The amplified products (the reverse-transcription and amplification of d...

This paper presents a retrofit system that exploits a fluorescent lamp’s own stray electric fields as an excitation source for capacitive sensing. The principal result of this work is the demonstration of sufficient sensitivity for detecting human occupants below the lamp. Experimental results are presented demonstrating detection ranges of 10 ft. between the lamp and the nearest edge of a huma...
