Sentence examples for peak sensitivity of from inspiring English sources
In the male subject, we found that short-wavelength light preferentially suppressed melatonin, reset the circadian pacemaker, and directly enhanced alertness compared to 555 nm exposure, which is the peak sensitivity of the photopic visual system.
Sodium-discharge lamps are efficient, because they produce virtually all their light at a wavelength near the peak sensitivity of the human eye.
Producing practically all their light at a wavelength near the peak sensitivity of the human eye gave them a theoretical luminous efficacy of 200 lumens per watt of electricity consumed, though their real-world performance is around two-thirds that.
Mariana Figueiro led a team of scientists who found that exposure to the light from self-luminous displays, such as Apple iPads, could be "linked to increased risk for sleep disorders because these devices emit optical radiation at short wavelengths, close to the peak sensitivity of melatonin suppression".
Exposure to light from self-luminous displays may be linked to increased risk for sleep disorders because these devices emit optical radiation at short wavelengths, close to the peak sensitivity of melatonin suppression.
At 60 dB sound pressure level (SPL) (re 20 μPa) red foxes perceive pure tones between 51 Hz and 48 kHz, spanning 9.84 octaves with a single peak sensitivity of −15 dB at 4 kHz.
Top filters achieved peak sensitivities of 97.8% and specificities of 98.5% (table 4 ).
These filters achieved peak sensitivities of 97.8% and specificities of 98.5%.
Our visual model resulted in peak sensitivities of 365, 440, 515, and 560 565.
The primary drawback is that the stimulation wavelength must be the same as the near-infrared imaging wavelength, which is quite far from the peak sensitivities of both rod and cone photoreceptors [ 25– 27].
In adult lungfish, increased absorption of short wavelengths by the ellipsoidal (and paraboloidal) pigments in the MWS cones and the red oil droplet in the LWS cones shifts the peak sensitivities of these photoreceptors to 584 nm and 656 nm, respectively (Fig. 2D).
