Abstract Tomato is rich in different bioactive compounds, especially the carotenoid lycopene, which intake is associated with various health benefits. Post-harvest use of ultraviolet light (UV) and light-emitting diode (LED) has been shown to increase the concentration of tomato bioactive compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultraviolet (A and C) and red-blue LED light on the concentration of carotenoids during a 7-days storage trial of mature green tomatoes. Exposure to combined UV and LED light nearly doubled the total carotenoid concentration and had no negative impact on sensory attributes.

The Impact

Different strategies have been developed to increase the concentration of bioactive compounds in tomatoes during post-harvest, with ultraviolet light (UV) and light emitting diodes (LEDs) being interesting tools. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultraviolet (UVA at 366 nm and UVC at 254 nm) pre-treatment (1 kJ/m2) and red–blue LED light (25.4 µmol/m2/s) on the concentration of carotenoids, (poly)phenols and hydrophilic/lipophilic antioxidant capacity during 7 days of refrigeration storage of green tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivar “Raf”. In addition, special attention was paid to quality parameters (weight loss, colour, acidity, soluble solids and ripening index). Tomatoes exposed to LED light at 6 °C for 7 days increased up to three times the total carotenoids content (mainly β-carotene and E-lycopene) compared to tomatoes refrigerated in the dark, while UV treatments alone did not significantly affect the carotenoid content. Besides, exposure to LEDs increased the hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidant capacity of tomatoes by 30%, without affecting phenolic contents. Thus, LED treatments alone during refrigerated storage fostered ripening and improved the nutritional value of tomatoes, without compromising quality parameters. Further studies must be carried out to evaluate the impact on sensory attributes and consumer acceptance.

In this study, our proposed ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED) mosquito-trapping lamp is designed to control diseases brought by insects such as mosquitoes. In order to enable the device to efficiently catch mosquitoes in a wider area, a secondary freeform lens (SFL) is designed for UV LED. The lens is mounted on a 3 W UV LED light bar as a mosquito-trapping lamp of the new UV LED light bar module to achieve axially symmetric light intensity distribution. The special SFL is used to enhance the trapping capabilities of the mosquito-trapping lamp. The results show that when the secondary freeform surface lens is applied to the experimental outdoor UV LED mosquito-trapping lamp, the trapping range can be expanded to 100π·m2 and the captured mosquitoes increased by about 300%.

AlGaN-InGaN-GaN Near Ultraviolet Light Emitting DiodeA 382-nm InGaN/AlGaN light-emitting diode (LED) was made on a sapphire substrate by metal-organic vapour phase deposition (MOCVD) technique. Growing of the undoped and Si-doped GaN and AlxGa1-xN monocrystalline layers with a surface roughness of < 1 nm required for making light emitting devices has been carried out. To enhance the LED emission efficiency, a modified symmetric composition of an active single quantum well (SQW) structure was proposed. In addition to the conventional p-doped AlGaN:Mg electron overflow blocking barrier, ann-doped AlGaN:Si SQW barrier layer in the structure was formed that was meant to act as an additional electron tunneling barrier.

 AbstrakPada kendaraan bermotor pelumasan adalah suatu hal yang sangat penting. Pelumasan berfungsi untuk melumasi komponen logam atau metal yang bergesekan dalam mesin. Untuk menjaga performa mesin kendaraan tetap prima maka kita harus cermat dalam memilih jenis oli yang akan digunakan menurut tingkat kekentalan oli yang dibutuhkan oleh kendaraan yang kita gunakan. Selain itu pemeriksaan dan pergantian oli secara berkala berperan penting dalam menjaga awetnya mesin kendaraan.Untuk membantu dalam pengecekan oli bagi para pemilik kendaran bermotor dalam hal ini sepeda motor dalam itu peneliti merancang sebuah alat pendeteksi kelayakan oli pada kendaraan sepeda motor. Perubahan nilai resistansi dari sensor IR (Infrared Resistor) setelah menerima pantulan cahaya dari LED (Light Emitting Diode) yang diletakkan diatas permukaan oli menyebabkan tegangan yang diterima Arduino Uno microcontroller ATmega328 membaca perubahan warna oli pada sebuah baki oli sepeda motor. Kata kunci : Pengecekan oli, Pantulan cahaya LED, Arduino Uno   AbstractLubrication in motor vehicles is important, lubrication is not only serves to lubricate metal or metal touching or friction in the machine. To maintain the performance of the vehicle's engine is prime, we must carefully select the type of oil to be used according to the oil viscosity level required by the vehicle we use. In addition, inspection and oil change periodically play an important role in maintaining the vehicle's crew.To assist in oil checking for motorised owners in this motorcycle in this case the author devised an oil feasibility detection tool on a motorcycle vehicle. Changes in resistance value from IR sensor (Infrared Resistor) after receiving light reflection from LED (Light Emitting Diode) that is placed above the oil surface causing the received voltage Arduino Uno Microcontroller ATmega328 Read the changes Oil color on a motorcycle oil tray. Keywords: Oil checking, LED light reflection, Arduino Uno
