The electronic stability program (ESP) is increasingly finding acceptance in vans and light commercial vehicles (LCV). Nearly all current models, whose gross vehicle weight is generally between 2.8 and 7.5 metric tons, are now available with this active safety system, either as an option or even as standard equipment. Many studies have now confirmed that ESP can prevent a vehicle from skidding ...

Obesity is a global epidemic, responsible for 2000 premature deaths in Ireland each year. The extent of this epidemic was quantified by the National Taskforce on Obesity (IOTF), whose report, published in 2005, found that 39% of adults in Ireland were overweight and 18% obese with obesity in adults predicted to increase by 1% per year. In light of the clear evidence that we, as a nation, are qu...

Currently available methods for the measurement of spontaneous activity of laboratory animals require expensive, specialized equipment and may not be suitable for use in low light conditions with nocturnal species. We developed a gravimetric method that uses common laboratory equipment to quantify the total spontaneous activity of rats and is suitable for use in the dark. The rat in its home ca...

With the development of society, impact light pollution has gradually intensified. It not only endangers human health and animal plant activities but also indirectly damages climate environment. In past, research on evaluation urban often focused comparison between level measured by relevant photometry equipment natural level. This means that many sites need to be selected for measurement in ci...

LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting equipments can be redeveloped and employed to not only just illumination, but also can wirelessly send audio data for users. In order to make an LED bulb has two channels for stable lighting and high-quality communicates, we used LEDs with different wavelengths, which are visible light for illuminations (including dimming and toning) and infrared for data tra...
