With the development of technology, behavior electrical devices has also changed. This makes it clear that load model and correct identification are necessary. study presents residential loads such as incandescent lamp, Light Emitting Diode (LED) Liquid Crystal Monitor (LCD) vacuum cleaner, experimentally determining coefficients polynomial exponential model. Since measurement parameters easy t...

In this paper, we simulated series arc on electric heaters, vacuum cleaners and incandescent lamps controlled by a dimmer to analyze the characteristics of series arc that causes electric fires. A high pass filter (HPF) was designed to detect arc signal only. The HPF consists of 2-stage coupling capacitors and detection impedance, and its low cut-off frequency of -3 dB was estimated to 3 kHz. B...

Daylight-mediated photodynamic therapy (daylight PDT) is a simple and pain free treatment of actinic keratoses. Weather conditions may not always allow daylight PDT outdoors. We compared the spectrum of five different lamp candidates for indoor "daylight PDT" and investigated their ability to photobleach protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). Furthermore, we measured the amount of PpIX activating daylight a...

In a previous publication (4) it was shown that the red portion of the visible spectrum was especially effective in inducing photoperiodic responses in long day plants when used to prolong short winter days. These responses generally included earlier flowering, increased internodal development, and a greater top-root ratio. The yellow, blue, and green regions of the visible spectrum of waveleng...

Recently there has been a growing interest in the selection of product colors for design engineering purposes and for quality control. The selection is generally based on color samples and the quality control is carried out with specific measurement instruments. In low quantity production it is common to avoid instrumental color measurement using human control personnel instead. For such subjec...

Objectives: To compare the pulp chamber temperature during illumination of resin-based composites using different light-curing units, and to assess the effects of a glass-ionomer (GI) base on the increase of pulp chamber temperature during polymerization. Material and Method: Standard occlusal cavities were prepared and restored with the adhesive bonding agent Clearfil Liner Bond 2V and the com...
