We proposed a new device structure to dynamically tune the correlated color temperature (CCT) of a white light-emittingdiode (WLED). The key component is a dynamic color filter, consisting of a liquid crystal (LC) cell sandwiched between two cholesteric LC films whose Bragg reflection band covers the blue wavelength of the WLED. Validated by experiment, our design exhibits several advantages, s...

Light chain (LC) expression by flow cytometry (FC) in B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs) can occasionally be detected with one anti-LC antibody but not with another. We retrospectively analyzed 564 four-color FC files from B-NHLs, assessing LC staining with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and polyclonal antibodies (pAbs). Discrepancies in LC expression between mAbs and pAbs were present in 9.2%...

The larvicidal activity of hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate leaf extracts of Strychnos nuxvomica against the third instar larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus was studied. The ethyl acetate leaf extract was found to be the effective larvicide with LC value of 222.28 and 146.99 ppm after 24 and 48 hours. The results indicate 50 promising larvicidal activity against Culex quinquefasciatus. Furthe...

Leaf-color is an effective marker to identify the hybridization of rice. Leaf-color related genes function in chloroplast development and the photosynthetic pigment biosynthesis of higher plants. The ygl7 (yellow-green leaf 7) is a mutant with spontaneous yellow-green leaf phenotype across the whole lifespan but with no change to its yield traits. We cloned gene Ygl7 (Os03g59640) which encodes ...

We proposed a new device structure to dynamically tune the correlated color temperature (CCT) of a white light-emitting-diode (WLED). The key component is a dynamic color filter, consisting of a liquid crystal (LC) cell sandwiched between two cholesteric LC films whose Bragg reflection band covers the blue wavelength of the WLED. When a voltage is applied to the LC cell, the transmittance of bl...

this study aimed to examine the relationship between pigments and seed fall rate of iranian castor genotypes and genetic diversity, specifically 28 castor genotypes (27 native and 1 modified), a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in 2014 and 2015 at the research farm of islamic azad university in damghan, northern iran. during the growth period, the following...

Paeonia qiui is a wild species of tree peony. P. qiui has good ornamental value owing to its leaf color change in spring. So far, the molecular mechanism of leaf color change in P. qiui is unclear. This study analyzes the anthocyanin level and transcriptome of two different color stages in P. qiui leaf. The purplish-red leaf stage is rich in anthocyanin, while the green leaf has very low levels...

For serving green tea, there are two prominent methods: steeping the leaf or the powdered leaf (matcha style) in hot water. The purpose of the present study was to reveal chemical and functional differences before and after the powdering process of green tea leaf, since powdered green tea may contribute to expanding the functionality because of the different ingesting style. In this study, we r...
