Persistent luminescent materials are able to emit light for hours after being excited. The majority of persistent phosphors emit in the blue or green region of the visible spectrum. Orange- or red-emitting phosphors, strongly desired for emergency signage and medical imaging, are scarce. We prepared the nitrido-silicates Ca₂Si₅N₈:Eu (orange), Sr₂Si₅N₈:Eu (reddish), Ba₂Si₅N₈:Eu (yellowish orange...

The iridescent metallic green beetle, Chrysina gloriosa, selectively reflects left circularly polarized light, and exhibits iridescence. The exoskeleton of C. gloriosa is decorated by a polygonal texture: hexagonal cells (~10 micron) coexist with pentagons and heptagons. We find that the fraction of pentagons and heptagons computed using Voronoi analysis increase with an increase in curvature, ...

Inkjet printing of photographs using both dye-based and pigmented inks has become the most popular form of hardcopy output from digital camera files. In addition to desktop and wide-format applications, inkjet printing technology is now also being adopted for “dry” minilabs and by professional portrait and wedding photography studios. Various factors affecting both light-induced and thermally-i...

Abstract Conventional methods used in determining green-life are still relatively difficult to use because they subjective. The initial phase shift from green yellowish-green as the end of is very detect and quantify with naked eyes. Therefore, we need a standard method that can be determine its green-life. purpose this study was test new for based on image processing data Cavendish banana afte...

Co-delivery approach has been recommended to reduce the amount of each drug and to achieve the synergistic effect for cancer treatment. CUR and SF have antitumor effects, but their application is limited because of their low water solubility and poor oral bioavailability. To improve the bioavailability and solubility of SF and CUR, we performed an innovative co-delivery of SF and CUR with magne...

White-light emitting diode lamps for general illumination can be realized by a combination of a blue light-emitting diode semiconductor die and phosphors. Newly developed oxynitride and nitride phosphors are promising candidates for this application because they have suitable excitation and emission wavelengths and stable optical properties in a high temperature environment. High brightness war...

Methods: We randomly assigned 117 patients (1:1:1) to verteporfin infusion (6 mg/m) and light application with an RF rate (300 mW/cm) for 83 seconds (light dose of 25 J/cm) or an SF rate (600 mW/cm) for 83 seconds (light dose of 50 J/cm) or to placebo infusion with RF or SF. Treatment was repeated every 3 months if the treating physician noted fluorescein leakage from CNV on angiography. Patien...
