Let there be light : light interception method update for oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) canopies [PDF]
, 2018 Light interception (photosynthetically active radiation, PAR) experiments in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plantations are scarce and often performed decennia ago, in Southeast Asia and without a clear methodology.

Peptide macrocyclisation via intramolecular interception of visible-light-mediated desulfurisation
Chemical Science, 2023 Herein, we report a peptide cyclisation strategy via intramolecular interception of cysteine desulfurisation. This method enables the cyclisation of unprotected peptides in aqueous solution via the installation of a hydrocarbon linkage.

Summary models for light interception and light-use efficiency of non-homogeneous canopies [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2007 The application of detailed models of canopy photosynthesis rely on the estimation of attenuation of light in the canopy. This attenuation is readily estimated with the Lambert-Beer law when the canopy is homogeneous. In reality, forest canopies are far from homogeneous, and this has led to the use of detailed light extinction models that account for ...
