  2. Biological effects of high-energy visible light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_effects_of_high...

    Blue light, a type of high-energy light, is part of the visible light spectrum. High-energy visible light (HEV light) is short-wave light in the violet/blue band from 400 to 450 nm in the visible spectrum, which has a number of purported negative biological effects, namely on circadian rhythm and retinal health (blue-light hazard), which can lead to age-related macular degeneration.

  3. Wing configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_configuration

    The wing configuration of a fixed-wing aircraft (including both gliders and powered aeroplanes) is its arrangement of lifting and related surfaces. Aircraft designs are often classified by their wing configuration. For example, the Supermarine Spitfire is a conventional low wing cantilever monoplane of straight elliptical planform with moderate ...

  4. Forward-swept wing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward-swept_wing

    One problem with the forward-swept design is that when a swept wing yaws sideways (moves about its vertical axis), one wing retreats while the other advances. On a forward-swept design, this reduces the sweep of the rearward wing, increasing its drag and pushing it further back, increasing the amount of yaw and leading to directional instability.

  5. Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unihemispheric_slow-wave_sleep

    In USWS, also known as asymmetric slow-wave sleep, one half of the brain is in deep sleep, a form of non-rapid eye movement sleep and the eye corresponding to this half is closed while the other eye remains open. When examined by electroencephalography (EEG), the characteristic slow-wave sleep tracings are seen from one side while the other ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray_visual_phenomena

    Cosmic ray visual phenomena, or light flashes ( LF ), also known as Astronaut's Eye, are spontaneous flashes of light visually perceived by some astronauts outside the magnetosphere of the Earth, such as during the Apollo program. While LF may be the result of actual photons of visible light being sensed by the retina, [ 1] the LF discussed ...
