OBJECTIVES Low power diode Iaser (830 nm) irradiation is a useful analgesic tool in superficial pain. Pulse laser irradiation allows us to increase the laser power because the non-irradiation time reduces heating effects and/or direct tissue damage at the irradiation area. This new irradiation device using pulse laser was applied to the dorsal skin to investigate the effects on the micturition ...

This paper introduces a method for fabricating microscale DNA hydrogels using irradiation with patterned light. Optical fabrication allows for the flexible and tunable formation of DNA hydrogels without changing the environmental conditions. Our scheme is based on local heat generation via the photothermal effect, which is induced by light irradiation on a quenching species. We demonstrate expe...

The Brönsted acidic ionic-liquid [HO(3)S(CH(2))(4)mim] HSO(4), a novel dual catalyst-solvent, has been successfully applied in simultaneous microwave-assisted extraction and hydrolysis for the determination of flavonol glycosides in Ginkgo foliage. The parameters, namely the [HO(3)S(CH(2))(4)mim]HSO(4) concentration, microwave-irradiation power, microwave-irradiation time, and solid-liquid rati...

This study proposes a fuzzy system for tracking the maximum power point of a PV system for solar panel. The solar panel and maximum power point tracker have been modeled using MATLAB/Simulink. A simulation model consists of PV panel, boost converter, and maximum power point tack MPPT algorithm is developed. Three different conditions are simulated: 1) Uniform irradiation; 2) Sudden changing; 3)...

This paper presents the modeling of a photovoltaic (PV) module at varying atmospheric conditions such as irradiation and temperature. It also includes the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the PV module using conventional perturb and observe (P&O) method and fuzzy logic controller. For the performance analysis, the simulation of the PV module along with MPPT controller is done by using MAT...

This work has developed a novel approach to form common carotid artery (CCA) thrombus in rats with a wireless implantable light-emitting diode (LED) device. The device mainly consists of an external controller and an internal LED assembly. The controller was responsible for wirelessly transmitting electrical power. The internal LED assembly served as an implant to receive the power and irradiat...

AIM Symphytum officinale (comfrey) is a medicinal plant commonly used in decoction and to treat ailments. It protects the skin against ultraviolet (UV)-irradiation. UV irradiation may induce variable effects on the constituents of herbal extracts and thereby may limit or improve the advantages of using these extracts as medicinal supplements. This study aimed to assess the effect of UV radiatio...

This paper describes laboratory scale experiments examining the impact of microwave irradiation on the Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) exposed to toluene, a common organic vapor frequently released into work environment as well as outdoor. A stream containing 300 ppm toluene was supplied and passed through the granular activated carbon. The saturated adsorbent was placed in a quartz glass r...

Silicon Carbide power devices are becoming very popular devices in switching power converters due to their superior performances in terms of on state and switching energy losses with respect to the Silicon counterparts [1]. Some works have been dedicated to study Single Event Effects (SEEs) induced by irradiations in SiC power diodes [2-5] and MESFETs [6]. Total IonizationDose Effects, TID, hav...
