Insight private equity : [Version 18 June 2013] [PDF]
We are able to shed light on the black box of restructuring tools private equity investors use to improve the operational performance of their portfolio companies. By building on previous work considering performance evaluation of PE backed companies, we

Effects of light-diffusing plastic film on lettuce production and quality attributes
In general, plants grown under diffuse light yield higher biomass than those grown under direct light as a result of a more uniform distribution of the light across the plant canopy.

Lighting strategies for morphological and physiological characteristics of horticultural crops often focus on the proper daily light integral (DLI); however, a suitable combination of photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) and photoperiod at the same ...

Physiological basis of the light use efficiency model [PDF]
The observation that, for unstressed plants, light use efficiency of a plant canopy, defined as the ratio of net primary productivity (NPP) to absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR), is approximately constant with respect to changes in APAR, implies that NPP can be modeled using a linear relationship with APAR.

Highly efficient FRET-based light-harvesting using nanocrystals
Dye molecules are widely used for biolabeling in molecular biology because of their high quantum efficiency and stability. Their small size (only a few nanometers) enables their use in bioimaging and biodetection of molecular features, for example, for double stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

An optical reaction micro-turbine [PDF]
To any energy flow there is an associated flow of momentum, so that recoil forces arise every time an object absorbs or deflects incoming energy. This same principle governs the operation of macroscopic turbines as well as that of microscopic turbines ...
