Evaluation of Delay Characteristics at A 4- Legged Signalised Intersection for Improvement in The Level of Service. A Case Study of Jinja Road Intersection. by Babirye, Joanitor

“…However, there is an increase in the queue length and delay as well as a decrease in capacity on Jinja road approach attributed to alteration in the balance of traffic flow due to the signalization on all the approaches. Generally, there is a slight improvement in the flow of traffic after improvement however that the level of service is still low i.e., LOS F and degree of saturation is still high (greater than 1.00). …”

Lowering light intensity while extending photoperiod at a constant daily light integral synergistically interacts with warm temperature to enhance leaf expansion and crop yield in... by Sang Jun Jeong, Sang Jun Jeong, Shuyang Zhen, Qianwen Zhang, Qianwen Zhang, Genhua Niu

“…Antioxidant capacity was generally reduced by lower light intensity and FR light, but the reduction could be compensated by warmer temperatures.DiscussionThus, we concluded that applying lower light intensity over a longer photoperiod, combined with warm temperature, can effectively maximize leaf expansion and crop yield while maintaining nutritional quality in the absence of FR light. …”
