The sequence (a) priming flash, (b) dark interval, and (c) red light induces a long-lasting afterdepolarization (PDA) in Balanus photoreceptors. The inward flow of membrane current associated with the decay of PDA was independent of red test flashes, provided that PDA had plateaued at a particular intensity. The influence of wavelength and duration of the priming flash and their interaction wit...

pulse oximetry measures the relative concentration of arterial oxygenated hemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin. this paper presents the design of a pulse oximeter, which measures the presence of a third substance, carboxyhemoglobin (hbco), by unfiltered leds at 660 nm, 810 nm, and 940 nm. background information is given on the theory of pulse oximetry. theoretical approximations and calculations w...

The effective use of complex fenestration systems in buildings requires knowledge of their optical spectral and directional properties. While the directional properties are commonly assessed by the measurement of bidirectional transmission or reflection distribution functions, the addition of spectral information would significantly aid in the design and analysis of such systems. This paper des...

Introduction The purpose of the current study was to determine optical sensitivity of N-isopropyl acrylamide NIPAM and polyacrylamide gelatin and tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphoniun chloride (PAGAT) polymer gels for different wavelength of visible light spectrum applied in optical computed tomography method. Materials and Methods NIPAM and PAGAT polymer gels with conventional formulations used f...

The researchers applied light-oxygen therapy (LOT) in a patient with plaque psoriasis. Diode laser “Super Seb” wavelength 1265 nm (manufactured by LLC “New Surgical Technologies”, Moscow) was used as source of light: radiation power – 1.2 Wt, density 1.06 W/cm2, exposure dose 191 J/cm2. Sessions were performed 2 times week an interval 3–4 days. After the treatment (3 sessions) complete clinical...
