In the production of flowers and ornamental plants, especially in the advanced greenhouse conditions, it is important to have a good light source and its accurate management. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of light quality on morphological and biochemical traits of two Marigold genotypes (Iranian-native and Gitana). This experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with t...

A study was made of the effects of various durations, intensities and combinations of red and far-red light interruptions on the flowering responses of Xanthium pensylvanicum Wallr. A dual response to treatments of far-red light was observed. In short dark periods, far-red light alone did not greatly affect flowering but was able to overcome the inhibition of flowering caused by red light. In d...

A meta-analysis has been conducted on the effects of red-light cameras (RLCs) on intersection crashes. The size and direction of results reported from studies included in the meta-analysis are strongly affected by study methodology. The studies that have controlled for most confounding factors yield the least favourable results. Based on these studies, installation of RLCs leads to an overall i...

Red light running is estimated to account for 900 intersection crash fatalities annually. Two principal methods used to reduce red light running involve lengthening the duration of yellow change intervals and automated red light enforcement. The present study evaluated the incremental effects on red light running of first lengthening yellow signal timing, followed by the introduction of red lig...
