Aim: This study evaluated the effect of light-activation on the antibacterial activity of dentin bonding systems. Methods: Inocula of Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus casei cultures were spread on the surface of BHI ...

The study aimed to evaluate the behavior of broiler chickens reared in the blue and red light emitting diode (LED), using a fluorescent light as a control. The bird behaviors were recorded at 28, 35 and 42 d of grow-out ...

Phototransduction in the Drosophila compound eye takes place in 40,000 tightly packed specialized microvilli of the photoreceptor cells. Light activates rhodopsin that couples to G-protein (G-P), activating phospholipase-C ...

White-light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) are the main white light source for general lighting due to high-luminous efficacy (>150 lm W−1), long lifespan (5 × 104 h), and environmentally friendly properties. Despite the current ...

This study evaluated the exposure time of light-curing of the polymers used for cementation on microhardness test in different storage times. The polymers (specifically called resin cements) were RelyX ARC, RelyX U100, and ...

One of the urban lighting objectives is to extend people’s activities during night. In this case lighting is linked with functions as visibility, safety, security and visual appearance of the surroundings. Considering ...
