The Total Luminous Efficiency of Luminous Bacteria
Methods are described for measuring the light emitted by an emulsion of luminous bacteria of given thickness, and calculating the light emitted by a single bacterium, measuring 1.1 x 2.2 micra, provided there is no absorption of light in the emulsion. At the same time, the oxygen consumed by a single bacterium was measured by recording the time for the bacteria to use up .9 of the oxygen dissol...
متن کاملLuminous-efficiency functions for point sources.
Luminous-efficiency functions for small fields were measured with flicker photometry and heterochromatic brightness-matching methods for the same two subjects. For the larger stimuli (22.9 and 11.5'), the luminous-efficiency functions differed between the two methods. Those obtained by flicker photometry showed a simple narrow shape, whereas those obtained by heterochromatic brightness matching...
متن کاملImproved luminance and luminous efficiency of AC plasma display panel
The effect of applying auxiliary pulses to the address electrode during the sustain period on the discharge characteristics of an AC plasma display panel was investigated. When auxiliary pulses of IOOV and 250wIz were applied to the address electrode during the sustain period, the maximum sustain. voltage was found to decrease by 14% while the minimum sustain voltage increased by 15% when compa...
متن کاملThe distance scale and Eddington efficiency of luminous quasars
The relation between the central mass and quasar luminosity (MBH ∝ L α FHWM ) links a given Eddington ratio with a value of H0, within a cosmology with fixed (Ωm,ΩΛ). We point out that because the relation is calibrated at low z using distance independent reverberation mapping to get the BLR size, the derived MBH interestingly does not depend on H0, while L/LEdd is sensitive to H0, but rather r...
متن کاملContrast adaptation dissociates different measures of luminous efficiency.
We compared how contrast adaptation influences three alternative measures of luminous efficiency. Subjects judged the lightness, the flicker, or the motion of chromatic sine-wave gratings. Adaptation to gratings with correlated luminance and chromatic contrast strongly biases lightness matches and moderately biases minimum-motion settings for gratings that are counterphased at 1 Hz, but it has ...
