Consider two adolescents: Person One and Person Two. Person One has never used substances and exhibits relatively few behavioral (conduct) problems. On the other hand, Person Two uses substances frequently and more commonly exhibits poor conduct. If you were to guess, which of the individuals would you expect to have lower overall judgment and self-regulation? If you answered Person Two, your i...

Wavelength-dependent Raman scattering of hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbon with red, green, and blue light excitation

Red, Green, and Blue LEDs for White Light Illumination

The rapid improvement of the white light efficacy achievable with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) opens up new opportunities in the general illumination market. An LED light source made of red, green, and blue LEDs (RGB-LEDs) can provide the unique feature of color variability, allowing the user to select the desired color point of the lamp. The white light color accuracy required in the general i...

Compensation for red-green contrast loss in anomalous trichromats.

For anomalous trichromats, threshold contrasts for color differences captured by the L and M cones and their anomalous analogs are much higher than for normal trichromats. The greater spectral overlap of the cone sensitivities reduces chromatic contrast both at and above threshold. But above threshold, adaptively nonlinear processing might compensate for the chromatically impoverished photorece...

Green-light supplementation for enhanced lettuce growth under red- and blue-light-emitting diodes.

Plants will be an important component of future long-term space missions. Lighting systems for growing plants will need to be lightweight, reliable, and durable, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have these characteristics. Previous studies demonstrated that the combination of red and blue light was an effective light source for several crops. Yet the appearance of plants under red and blue ligh...
