Lighting pollution, the benefit/cost approach
(Znack Publishing House, 2002-05)
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 ...
Acute Effects of Light on Alternative Splicing in Light-Grown Plants
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-12)
Light modulates plant growth and development to a great extent by regulating gene expression programs. Here, we evaluated the effect of light on alternative splicing (AS) in light-grown Arabidopsis thaliana plants using ...
Light pollution: The possible consequences of excessive illumination on retina
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-02)
Light is the visible part of the electromagnetic radiation within a range of 380-780 nm; (400-700 on primates retina). In vertebrates, the retina is adapted to capturing light photons and transmitting this information to ...
Evaluation of growth and motility in non-photosynthetic Azospirillum brasilense exposed to red, blue, and white light
(Springer, 2020-07)
Azospirillum brasilense is a non-photosynthetic rhizobacterium that promotes the growth of plants. In this work, we evaluated the effects of different light qualities on the growth, viability, and motility in combination ...
The Importance of Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells and implications for lighting design
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2015-12)
We reviewed the role of melanopsin-containing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in light-dependent functions, including circadian rhythm that is important for health and visual perception. We ...
Oxidative stress in retinal degeneration promoted by constant LED light
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-01)
Light pollution by artificial light, might accelerate retinal diseases and circadian asynchrony. The excess of light exposure is a growing problem in societies, so studies on the consequences of long-term exposure to low ...
Pulses of low intensity light as promising technology to delay postharvest senescence of broccoli
(Elsevier Science, 2018-08)
Visible light irradiance may be a useful technology to delay postharvest senescence of green vegetables. In this work, we studied the effects of low-intensity white, red and far red light pulses on postharvest senescence ...
Waste disposal impact from street lighting
(Znack Publishing House, 2004-10)
The street lighting management even under an efficient and organised scheme produces waste materials which should be reduced and controlled. In an organised and responsible society this means the necessity to study policies ...
Blue light attenuation mediates morphological and architectural acclimation of Vitis vinifera cv. Malbec to shade and increases light capture
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-01)
Grapevine is one of the most important fruit crops worldwide. Vineyard management practices affect light interception and spectral characteristics inside the canopy. Plant photoreceptors drive shade acclimation responses ...
Fast and cost effective fabrication of microlens arrays for enhancing light out-coupling of organic light-emitting diodes
(Elsevier Science, 2019-10)
The efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) deposited on flat substrates is strongly limited by the total internal reflection at the air-substrate interface. An effective strategy to reduce the amount of substrate ...
