Full textAbstract:
InGentiana luteatwo varieties are described:G. luteavar.aurantiacawith orange corolla colors andG. luteavar.luteawith yellow corolla colors. Both color varieties co-occur in NW Spain, and pollinators select flower color in this species. It is not known whether a hybridization barrier exists between theseG. luteacolor varieties. We aim to test the compatibility between flower color varieties inG. luteaand its dependence on pollen vectors. Within a sympatric population containing both flower color morphs, we analyzed differences in reproductive success (number, weight, viability and germinability of seeds) depending on fertilization treatments (autogamy and xenogamy within variety and among varieties). We found a 93% reduction in number of seeds and a 37% reduction in seed weight respectively of autogamy treatments compared to xenogamy crossings. Additionally, reproductive success is higher within color varieties than among varieties, due to a 45% seed viability reduction on hybrids from different varieties. Our results show thatG. luteareproductive success is strongly dependent on pollinators and that a partial hybridization barrier exists betweenG. luteavarieties.

Full textAbstract:
We tested if the association of the color red with negative meaning and failure varies according to social context and life experience. A Stroop word evaluation task was used to investigate the link between the colors red and green, and failure and success among 3 groups of Chinese people, comprising college students, shareholders, and adults in the general population. Results show that whereas college students reacted faster to red–failure and green–success words, shareholders reacted faster to red–success and green–failure words, and there was no association between color and valence among the adults in the general population. To the best of our knowledge we are the first to show individual differences in implicit color–valence association related to success and failure.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose. The purpose of this article is to propose a solution for conflict resolution in a bioecological system. Background. In 1979, Bronfenbrenner introduced his bioecological theory of human development which suggested that children are immersed in four integrated systems that affect student behavior and success in public schools. More than thirty years later, the bioecological system has experienced several changes, most notably in the structure of the family and changes in the culture. Conflict can lead to tragedy but intervention programs have seen some success when any one of the four systems is positively affected. Winning Colors® can be an effective tool to teach conflict resolution and communication leading to situational leadership, team building, conflict resolution, and improved communication in any inter-personal situation. Winning Colors® uses four color cards with corresponding behavior strengths that can be understood by children and adults in a short period. Aim. In this article, we explain how Winning Colors® program that has been used to teach conflict resolution and communication to thousands of learners. Conclusion. Winning Colors® can be implemented to teach conflict resolution and communication across the bioecological system.

If an animated film wants to present extraordinary visual effects, the successful use of art colors is the key to the success or failure of an animated film. Although our country’s animated film started a short time ago, its development has been slow. In modern times, it is difficult to compete with excellent animation works of other countries; animation is an art form that requires the combination of modern technology and traditional cultural areas. Chinese cartoons are gradually declining today when the technology is taking off. The reason is that the traditional culture of the country has not been thoroughly explored. In today’s diversified world, if you want to revive the brilliance of Chinese animation, you must deeply and systematically study various elements of national art and form your own creative thinking and creation system. Particularly under computer vision, the gap is very obvious. Under the computer vision, in order to study the characteristics and techniques of the use of fine art colors in animated films, to promote the development of animated films in China, this article analyzes the role of art color in the animation of excellent Chinese and foreign animation works in recent years, through literature analysis, comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis, etc., to study the meaning and application of color symbols, hoping to be a Chinese animation providing useful help for film creation and development. Studies have shown that color has a strong influence on animated films. A good use of artistic color can add a lot of color to an animated film. According to statistics, art colors account for at least 20% of excellent animation works, which can be integrated into animation colors. Animation works with domestic characteristics are easier to succeed. This shows that the use of artistic colors can play a key role in animated films.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract As brood parasites, nestling Brown-headed Cowbirds (Molothrus ater) may exhibit characters that improve their fledging success when reared alongside host young. The coloration of mouthparts of nestlings can influence adult care and, thus, the polymorphism of yellow or white rictal flanges among nestling Brown-headed Cowbirds may reflect differential success with different hosts on the basis of flange color. Moreover, because Brown-headed Cowbirds in the southern United States co-occur with Bronzed Cowbirds (M. aeneus), whose young have white flanges, cowbird nestlings' flange colors may reflect a means for reducing interspecific competition through partitioning of host species on the basis of nestling flange color. To determine whether flange color influences cowbird fledging success with hosts of either color, we recorded the flange colors of cowbirds and their hosts at a site in Texas. We also tested whether flange color was influenced by nestling sex. Most hosts of Brown-headed Cowbirds had young with yellow flanges (81%, n = 16 spp.), yet Brown-headed Cowbirds with white flanges were more common (61%, n = 107). Bronzed Cowbirds parasitized primarily species whose young had white flanges (86%, n = 348 eggs). Despite the differential use of hosts with regard to flange color, the frequencies of each were similar among nestling and juvenile Brown-headed Cowbirds. Likewise, the frequencies of each color did not differ significantly between the sexes. Therefore, we suggest that a flange color matching that of nestmates is not strongly selected for by hosts.

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s song “Despacito” shattered numerous records to become one of the most successful Spanish-language songs in U.S. pop music history. Declared 2017’s “Song of the Summer,” the “Despacito” remix featuring Justin Bieber prompted discussions about the racial dynamics of crossover for Latin music and Latina/o artists. However, little attention was paid to the ways that “Despacito”’s success in the Latin music market demonstrated similar racial dynamics within Latin music, especially in the song’s engagement with reggaeton, a genre originally associated with Black and working-class communities. This paper examines the racial politics that surround “Despacito”’s success in both the Latin mainstream and the U.S. mainstream. We argue that “Despacito” reinforces stereotypes of blackness in the Latin mainstream in ways that facilitate reggaeton’s crossover. In turn, Fonsi himself becomes attributed with similar stereotypes, especially around hypersexuality, that represent him as a tropical Latina/o racialized other in the United States. Through close readings of media coverage of “Despacito” alongside the song’s music video, we argue that it is critical to look at “Despacito”’s success in both the Latin mainstream and the U.S. mainstream in order to examine the complex and contradictory process of crossing over.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract An analysis of the effects of colored leg bands on Red-cockaded Woodpeckers, in a long-term field study, showed that males that wore red bands fledged significantly fewer young than males without red bands. Other colors were unrelated to fledging success. Band color had no detectable effect on the fledging success of adult females. The offspring sex ratio of breeding males wearing red bands was significantly female-biased. Offspring sex ratios were not related to the presence or absence of red bands on breeding females. Wearing a red band did not affect the probability of a male attracting a mate or the probability of switching mates. For both sexes, annual age-specific survival was independent of the presence or absence of a red band, but nestlings wearing red bands were less likely to be sighted as fledglings. Males with red bands fledged fewer young, consistent with both the species-recognition hypothesis and the coverable-badge hypothesis. The coverable-badge hypothesis, which predicts that the inability to conceal a voluntary social signal (the red cockade) can be detrimental, is the more parsimonious explanation of our results.

Full textAbstract:
The influence of tank color on the visual perception of fish larvae and the success of their cultivation depends on the characteristics of each species combined with environmental factors. In this study, we determined the effect of light and dark tank colors on the larviculture of pacamã (Lophiosilurusalexandri), a species with a benthonic habit, and curimatá-pioa (Prochilodus costatus), which swims actively in the water column. Larvae of pacamã and curimatá-pioa were cultivated for 10 days in 5-L tanks, at a density of 15 larvae L-1 and luminosity of 141.7 ± 8.95 lux, and fed Artemia nauplii. Four tank colors were used: green, light blue, brown, and black (with four replications). Survival, biomass and Fulton's condition factor for pacamã larvae were similar in the different colored tanks. However, the larvae in the green tanks showed lower weight than those cultivated in black and brown tanks, as well as shorter total length than that of larvae in the brown-colored tanks. These results are probably due to the association between tank color and benthonic habitat of the pacamã. For the curimatá-pioa, survival and biomass were similar for the different colors. The weight and Fulton's condition factor were higher for the larvae cultivated in green and blue tanks. This result could be associated with the adaptation of curimatá-pioa larvae to active swimming in the water column, searching for prey.

Modern art development, especially in abstract art had been started since Expressionism period in Germany. Wassily Kandinsky was one of the pioneers of pure abstract art, he created his masterpieces not only as an artist, but also as an art theorist. Although at first he did not have the education background in art field, since Kandinskywas an academic faculty in art and economic, however he gained his success because of his high interest and spirit in art field.Besides, Kandinsky had created many art theories and perspectives of colors, compositions, forms, and had succeeded to apply it in his paintings. His style was inspired by Claude Monet’s painting ‘Haystack’ and the opera performance ‘Lohengrin’ by Richard Wagner. Kandinsky began to study new theories of art by learning art elements and principles more profound, he learned about colors deeply and tried to develop Goethe’s color theory, he also tried to elaborate the meaning of forms and applied the compositions in his artworks as well.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Color polymorphisms have been traditionally attributed to apostatic selection. The perception of color depends on the visual system of the observer. Theoretical models predict that differently perceived degrees of conspicuousness by two predator and prey species may cause the evolution of polymorphisms in the presence of anti-apostatic and apostatic selection. The spider Gasteracantha cancriformis (Araneidae) possesses several conspicuous color morphs. In orb-web spiders, the prey attraction hypothesis states that conspicuous colors are prey lures that increase spider foraging success via flower mimicry. Therefore, polymorphism could be maintained if each morph attracted a different prey species (multiple prey hypothesis) and each spider mimicked a different flower color (flower mimicry hypothesis). Conspicuous colors could be a warning signal to predators because of the spider’s hard abdomen and spines. Multiple predators could perceive morphs differently and exert different degrees of selective pressures (multiple predator hypothesis). We explored these 3 hypotheses using reflectance data and color vision modeling to estimate the chromatic and achromatic contrast of G. cancriformis morphs as perceived by several potential prey and predator taxa. Our results revealed that individual taxa perceive the conspicuousness of morphs differently. Therefore, the multiple prey hypothesis and, in part, the multiple predator hypothesis may explain the evolution of color polymorphism in G. cancriformis, even in the presence of anti-apostatic selection. The flower mimicry hypothesis received support by color metrics, but not by color vision models. Other parameters not evaluated by color vision models could also affect the perception of morphs and influence morph survival and polymorphism stability.

In the popular clothing market, the garment color is often an important factor in the customer’s determination of purchase. In the fast-changing fashion market, uncertain demand, low predictability and other factors may cause panic buying. Hence, the postponement of clothing dyeing in supply chain management is an important production method for success in the modern clothing fashion market. This study used simulation software to build two virtual clothing supply chain models of cloth dyeing and postponement of clothing dyeing of clothing industry. Moreover, it imported the data of actual factories into the two models for simulation; different situations of output, productivity and delivery date are simulated in multi-color clothing throughput using the same equipment. The postponement of clothing dyeing is applicable to clothing products with changing colors and with slight change in clothing style, whereas the cloth dyeing is applicable to clothing products with uncertain clothing style and slight change in color. The postponement of clothing dyeing is better than the cloth dyeing production mode in the situation of diversified colors and inaccurate forecasting of production. In terms of multi-color inventory carrying cost, the production inventory and carrying cost of postponement of clothing dyeing are lower than cloth dyeing. Therefore, for the changing market, the postponement of clothing dyeing is characterized by low inventory, low carrying cost and low risk. This study provides the forecast management situation for the clothing industries to use capable production modes for clothing manufacturing supply chain.

Abstract This article examines the medieval reception history of De coloribus. This pseudo-Aristotelian treatise on colors was translated from Greek into Latin in the thirteenth century, but the question of its success and use by contemporary scholars has not yet received any attention. After an examination of its medieval commentary tradition, the marginal glosses, and the first attestations, I conclude that De coloribus was scarcely used in the medieval Latin West, although the translation survived in a significant number of manuscripts. In the second part of the article, I look into some possible explanations for this limited reception history. One of the main factors is the availability of several alternative discussions on color in the Aristotelian corpus as well as in the non-Aristotelian scientific literature.

Full textAbstract:
The Golgi stain is very useful for selective staining of membrane systems in muscle cells, especially for HVEM and IVEM where thick sections can be examined and three-dimensional information obtained. However, the staining intensity and pattern are highly variable from preparation to preparation, among fibers in the same preparation, and within individual fibers. Staining can be absent altogether, or can involve the T-system (T) or the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) alone, or both T and SR. Considerable time can be spent sectioning blocks and scanning the sections in the electron microscope, searching for the desired staining pattern, sometimes without success. We have found that examination of the trimmed face of an embedded block under a dissecting microscope with oblique reflected light reveals a pattern of colors in muscle fibers and parts of muscle fibers. The origin of the colors and the reason that the different staining patterns show different colors are not clear. Nevertheless, the colors can be related to the staining pattern that will be seen in the electron microscope in sections cut from the same blocks, thus facilitating trimming of the block to areas of interest, both saving time and reducing the likelihood of missing rare staining patterns or paticularly interesting parts of the embedding.

Full textAbstract:
In the last decade, deep learning has been applied in a wide range of problems with tremendous success. This success mainly comes from large data availability, increased computational power, and theoretical improvements in the training phase. As the dataset grows, the real world is better represented, making it possible to develop a model that can generalize. However, creating a labeled dataset is expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes not likely in some domains if not challenging. Therefore, researchers proposed data augmentation methods to increase dataset size and variety by creating variations of the existing data. For image data, variations can be obtained by applying color or spatial transformations, only one or a combination. Such color transformations perform some linear or nonlinear operations in the entire image or in the patches to create variations of the original image. The current color-based augmentation methods are usually based on image processing methods that apply color transformations such as equalizing, solarizing, and posterizing. Nevertheless, these color-based data augmentation methods do not guarantee to create plausible variations of the image. This paper proposes a novel distribution-preserving data augmentation method that creates plausible image variations by shifting pixel colors to another point in the image color distribution. We achieved this by defining a regularized density decreasing direction to create paths from the original pixels’ color to the distribution tails. The proposed method provides superior performance compared to existing data augmentation methods which is shown using a transfer learning scenario on the UC Merced Land-use, Intel Image Classification, and Oxford-IIIT Pet datasets for classification and segmentation tasks.

Full textAbstract:
Long-term object tracking encounters complex scene changes, such as deformation, short-term departure from sight, occlusion, and lighting changes, resulting in complex and unstable tracking. To improve the accuracy and success rate of long-term object tracking in complex scenes, an improved continuously adaptive mean shift (CAMShift) algorithm was proposed. The joint probability density distribution of the target model was obtained by using the Bhattacharrya coefficient to calculate the contribution of the color features and texture features. Combining with the fused target model and Kalman filter, the target position was obtained by implementing CAMShift algorithm. Finally, a template pool was designed to store high-confidence tracking results. The target template was updated online by retrieving the initial frame from the template pool to recover re-detection after tracking drift or failure. The accuracy of the proposed algorithm was verified by simulation analysis. Results show that the distance precision and success rate of the proposed algorithm are 0.9 and 0.83, respectively. The proposed algorithm effectively solves long-term target tracking problems affected by complex scenes, such as occlusion, similar colors, and deformation. This study provides references for the automatic detection of traffic incidents in the intelligent traffic monitoring system.

Picking clothing has always been a great challenge in laundry or textile industry automation, especially when some clothes are of the same colors, material and entangled with each other. In order to solve the problem, we present a grasp pose determination method to pick towels placed in a laundry basket or on a table. In our method, it is not needed to segment towels into independent items and the target towels are not necessarily distinguishable in color. The proposed algorithm firstly segments point clouds into several convex wrinkles, and then selects the appropriate grasp point on the candidate convex wrinkle. Moreover, we plan the grasp orientation with respect to the wrinkle which can effectively reduce the grasp failure caused by the inappropriate grasp direction. We evaluate our method on picking white towels and square towels, respectively, and achieved an average success rate of about 80%.

And these factors also have a grouping of the elements of each, a case of elements of earth, metal, fire, wood, and water. If the combination of the elements is wrong, it will create a destructive energy flowing so that hamper the pace of corporate fortunes. With the approach of the study and literature review, this article will explain how the relationship between the selection of colors, shapes, letters, and numbers in accordance with Feng Shui and may still have some artistic value.

A method of using a PZT jet pump to separate small objects from the flow of the mainstream is presented. The objects may be, for example, cells, medical markers, or hard-to-handle machine parts. For such particles, sorting methods that change the channel mechanically are not particle-friendly and tend to damage them. This research is related to the development of equipment that uses a jet stream from an injection pump driven by a PZT actuator to sort small particles. The particles are separated from the mainstream by small amounts of fluid the pump injects. The injection is produced by the impulsive force generated when voltage is rapidly applied to a multilayer PZT element. In the experiment, white or black polystyrene particles 1 mm in diameter are sorted by color, their colors discriminated by a reflection-type photo sensor. By timing the pump according to the velocity of the flow, a high separation success rate is achieved.

Abstract Monitoring is critical to control efforts for Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, an invasive polyphagous fly that has the potential to cause significant losses in commercial soft fruit and berry production worldwide. We used an iterative process to identify trap colors, trap designs, and volatile mixtures to improve monitoring efforts in commercial blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry crops. Our results suggest that the selection of trap color and design and attractant lures should be customized to the crop in which they are deployed. In raspberries grown in high tunnel systems, DrosaLure paired with Drosal traps painted green and purple were highly specific to D. suzukii although actual capture counts were low. However, in field grown raspberries, BioLure and Multilure traps were most effective, but with significant nontarget bycatch. In blueberries, we had greatest success with a 5 µg:50 ng mixture of ethyl acetate–acetoin in a green/purple-colored jar-style trap with large (5 cm) mesh covered openings.

Human object detection, tracking, and recognition have applications in many areas, such as in the development of assistance robots and intelligent monitoring systems. The emergence of an RGB-D camera, namely the Kinect v2, has simplified the process of human object detection and tracking. Color space methods are dependent on lighting conditions. Because skeleton-tracking algorithms are based on depth images, they are light invariant relative to color space methods. However, skeleton information may sometimes be incorrect or become lost. An algorithm for human-target recognition is thus required. Therefore, this study proposes a human-target tracking and recognition system combining RGB images, depth images, body index, and skeleton information. The system first extracts the color information of five body parts (two upper arms, the torso, and two thighs) using color, depth, and skeleton information. The system then analyzes the color information using a mixed nine-dimensional histogram and single-color analysis method. The algorithm also includes overlap detection during the process of human-target tracking to prevent misidentification caused by occlusion. To test the proposed system, various scenarios were carefully designed to simulate the extremely complex environmental changes characteristic of the real world. Furthermore, the dynamic statistical method of event statistics was used to collect results. Experiments revealed that the proposed method is robust under varying lighting conditions and increases the success rate for individuals wearing similar clothing with monochrome colors.

Aim: The purpose of the study was the evaluation of the esthetic and physical changes produced on colored titanium Grade 5 (Ti6Al4V) laser treated surfaces to be used in implant dentistry for esthetic success. Materials and methods: Colored titanium surfaces were obtained with laser treatment. The physical and topographic properties were evaluated by stereo, light, and electron microscopy and profilometric analyses. L*a*b* colorimetric coordinates were measured by spectrometry, and the superficial chemical characteristics were evaluated by energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Results: Within the complete palette of titanium colors, pinks (P1-P2), incarnadine (I), and white (W) obtained by laser were selected. The topography, texture, hues, saturation, roughness, and porosity of the samples were compared with those of machined (M) and sand-blasted and etched (SBAE) control surfaces. P1, P2, and I, similar in hue and roughness (Ra ≅ 0.5 μm), had a microgroove spacing of 56 μm and a decreasing porosity. The W sample with a “checkerboard” texture and a light color (L* 96.31) was similar to the M samples (Ra = 0.32 μm), but different from SBAE (Ra = 1.41 μm, L* 65.47). Discussion: The aspects of hard and soft tissue could result in an esthetic failure of the dental implant by showing the dark color of the fixture or abutment. The two different pinks and incarnadine surfaces showed favorable esthetic and physical features to promote dental implant success even in the maxillary anterior area with gingival recession, asymmetry, and deficiency. Conclusion: Titanium colored laser surfaces represent a valid alternative to those currently traditionally obtained and interesting and potential perspectives in the management of dental implants’ esthetic failure.

AbstractDespite the recent success of state-of-the-art 3D object recognition approaches, service robots still frequently fail to recognize many objects in real human-centric environments. For these robots, object recognition is a challenging task due to the high demand for accurate and real-time response under changing and unpredictable environmental conditions. Most of the recent approaches use either the shape information only and ignore the role of color information or vice versa. Furthermore, they mainly utilize the $$L_n$$ L n Minkowski family functions to measure the similarity of two object views, while there are various distance measures that are applicable to compare two object views. In this paper, we explore the importance of shape information, color constancy, color spaces, and various similarity measures in open-ended 3D object recognition. Toward this goal, we extensively evaluate the performance of object recognition approaches in three different configurations, including color-only, shape-only, and combinations of color and shape, in both offline and online settings. Experimental results concerning scalability, memory usage, and object recognition performance show that all of the combinations of color and shape yield significant improvements over the shape-only and color-only approaches. The underlying reason is that color information is an important feature to distinguish objects that have very similar geometric properties with different colors and vice versa. Moreover, by combining color and shape information, we demonstrate that the robot can learn new object categories from very few training examples in a real-world setting.

Aims: To evaluate the capability of the HyperSPACE (Hyper SPectral Analysis for Characterization in Echography) method in tissue characterization, in order to provide information for the laser treatment of benign thyroid nodules in respect of conventional B-mode images and elastography.Material and methods: The method, based on the spectral analysis of the raw radiofrequency ultrasonic signal, was applied to characterize the nodule before and after laser treatment. Thirty patients (25 females and 5 males, age between 37 and 81 years) with thyroid benign nodule at cytology (Thyr 2) were evaluated by conventional ultrasonography, elastography, and HyperSPACE, before and after laser ablation.Results: The images processed by HyperSPACE exhibit different color distributions that are referred to different tissue features. By calculating the percentages of the color coverages, the analysed nodules were subdivided into 3 groups. Each nodule belonging to the same group experienced, on average, similar necrosis extension. The nodules exhibit different Configurations (colors) distributions that could be indicative of the response of nodular tissue to the laser treatmentConclusions: HyperSPACEcan characterize benign nodules by providing additional information in respect of conventional ultrasound and elastography which is useful for support in the laser treatment of nodules in order to increase the probability of success.

Five different fluorescent powders (orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet) were tested on Aedes aegypti adults to evaluate the differentiation of multiple fluorescent powder colors applied externally in the same female mosquito, their effect on coupling time, copulation time, insemination success, mate choice, and the extent of transference of powders between marked and unmarked individuals, either during copulation or same-sex interactions. Marking with multiple powders was evaluated after applying different powders in the same female at different times and combinations. The comparative effect of powders on mating was explored using different cross-combinations of marked/unmarked couples. Transference of powders between marked/unmarked individuals after copulation was checked in mated individuals, and between same-sex interactions by allowing them to interact under crowded and uncrowded conditions. Identification of the colors included in multiple markings in the same individual was possible when exploring almost all combinations (exception: green–yellow). No important effect of powder marking between cross-combinations was found on coupling time (overall 95% CI (Confidence Interval) 37.6–49.6 min), copulation time (overall 95% CI 17–20 s), insemination success, nor their mate choice. Transferred powder after copulation activity, concentrated in genitalia, legs, and the tip of wings, occurred in >80% of females and 100% of males. Powder transference in legs and genitalia, between same-sex individuals, occurred only in males (ranged between 23–35%) under both density conditions. The lack of important effects of these powders on the studied aspects of Ae. aegypti provides information about their usefulness and limitations, which should be recognized for future applications and to avoid bias.

Summary Aim: Although visual color determination is the most frequently applied method in dentistry, instrumental color analysis offers advantages like objectivity, measurability and rapidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the natural teeth color in teeth without any restoration visually, and by using a computerized shade measuring and analyzing system in the population.Materials and Methods: 202 patients were inspected. Before instrumental shade matching visual matching was done by the inspector with Vitapan 3D Master Shade Guide in the day light. Images were taken with computerized shade measuring and analyzing system from patients’ natural right or left maxillary incisors and canines without any restoration. Then these images were evaluated by the original software of its own.Results: Value differences between visual and instrumental shade matching were statistically significant. Darker value levels were obtained with instrumental measurement. The distribution of hue was more reddish in instrumental examination than visual examination. Significant difference was found at cervical and middle third of the tooth in both visual and instrumental determination of chroma. Chroma of the tooth was higher at these two regions in visual assessment.Conclusions: Teeth colors were distributed more uniform in visual shade matching compared to instrumental matching. However, some teeth shades were more common in instrumental matching. Value scores were found higher with instrumental shade matching. Individual selection of shades for each tooth and different regions of a tooth instead of a single color is considered to be a factor to increase the success of the restoration.

This study was designed to measure attitudes of women over 50 years of age concerning apparel and media. A factor analysis of survey responses indicated that the items fell into five meaningful clusters and provided some insight into how respondents felt about apparel and media. Apparel was important to respondents, particularly for feelings of well-being, in social and economic success and making a favorable first impression, and when purchasing new apparel styles and colors. Many of the clothing images promoted by media depicting younger people did not appeal to these women over the age of 50. There was also dissatisfaction with types and fit of available apparel.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to develop a visualized search system utilizing graphical images to represent the story elements and concepts to help elementary students describe and seek their desired storybooks; and second, to explore the effect of the proposed visualized search system on elementary students’ tactics, success, and motivation for seeking storybooks. Design/methodology/approach A quasi-experimental approach was conducted with a sample of 61 elementary students in this study. The students’ tactics, motivation and the success of their storybook searching were addressed as dependent variables for further comparisons of the visualized searching system and a conventional keyword searching system. Findings The results revealed that the students in the experimental group exhibited more frequent tactics and greater motivation for storybook searching than those in the control group. Further χ2 analysis indicated a significant relationship between the searching interface and the success of the students’ storybook searching. Originality/value This paper proposes a new visual search approach which allows young children to search for storybooks by describing an intended storybook in terms of its characters, objects, or the background colors of the cover page. The findings provide some evidence of the effectiveness of the visualized searching interface in terms of promoting young children’s learning through storybook searching and reading activities.

Full textAbstract:
Wild Anagallis monelli exhibits blue or orange flower colors in geographically isolated populations. A new red flower color was developed through breeding, and a three-gene model was proposed for the inheritance of flower color in this species. In this study, blue and orange wild diploid accessions were used as parents to develop six F2 populations (n = 19 to 64). Sexual compatibility between blue and orange wild individuals was low with only 29% of the hybridizations producing F1 individuals. Six of 14 cross combinations between F1 siblings produced fruits, and fruiting success ranged from 55% to 90%. The number of seeds per fruit averaged 14.1 and germination rates for the F2s were low (16.8% to 30.7%). In three of six F2 populations obtained, flower color segregation ratios for orange, blue, and red were not significantly different from the expected ratios under a previously proposed three-gene model. White flower color was obtained as a fourth color variant in two of the remaining F2 populations. For one of these populations, segregation ratios were not significantly different from expected ratios for an expanded four-gene model. White flowers did not contain anthocyanidins, suggesting that there was a mutation in the early stage of the anthocyanin pathway. Orange flower color was found to be primarily the result of pelargonidin, blue to malvidin, and red to delphinidin. These three pigments may be present simultaneously, and their ratios play a significant role in determining flower color. Other factors such as copigments, metal ions, or a different molecular conformation of the anthocyanin could also be involved in flower color determination.

The IRAS Point Source Catalog contains only 61 sources identified as galaxies whose energy distribution peaks at 60 mμ. The scarcity of such galaxies has prompted a search for possible common properties. This sample of ‘60 mμ peakers’, 21 of which are previously identified galaxies, partially overlaps with that of warm IRAS galaxies studied by de Grijp et al. (1987) and contains similar percentages of Seyfert (65%) and starburst galaxies on the one hand, and of strong and weak radio sources on the other hand. A remarkable characteristic is, however, that about half of the 60 mμ peakers seem to be early-type galaxies. The fact that such galaxies are rarely IRAS sources and, if so, have FIR energy distributions peaking at 100 mμ similar to those of spirals, implies that we are sampling active or nuclear starburst early-type galaxies with a very large success rate. The observational data accumulated so far further show that: (i)objects with smaller FIR to near-IR flux ratios have redder J-K colors and warmer 60 to 25 mμ colors, i.e., an infared spectrum dominated by warmer dust and/or a nonthermal source (Figs. 1a,b);(ii)out of 32 objects with radio data, the 5 compact radio sources with luminosities intermediate between those af radio-quiet and radio-loud AGN have among the warmest 60 to 25 mμ colors (Fig. 2). Such warm FIR colors are not a common characteristic of radio galaxies and quasars (Golombek et al. 1987, Neugebauer et al. 1986).(iii)the 60 mμ luminosities range from 109 to 1012 L0, and are largest for Mkn 231, 2306+0505 (Hill et al. 1987) and 2046+1925 (Frogel et al. 1988). The latter 2 objects, along with 0052-7054 (Frogel and Elias 1987) which also belongs to our sample, are Seyfert 2 galaxies with evidence for the presence of a dust-obsured broad line region.

Background and aim: All-ceramic prosthesis is widely used in modern dental practice because of its improved physico-mechanical and optical properties. These restorations are exposed to coloring agents from various nutrition and beverages in the oral cavity. Long-term color stability is critical for the success of these restorative materials. The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the effect of common beverages and mouthwash on the color stability of lithium disilicate (LD), monolithic zirconia (MZ) and bilayer zirconia (BZ) surfaces. Material and methods: Thirty disc-shaped specimens from each material were fabricated; each group was subdivided (n = 10) according to coffee, green tea and chlorhexidine immersion solutions. The baseline color of ceramic discs was recorded according to the CIE L*a*b* system with a portable spectrophotometer. The second measurement was recorded after 3000 thermocycling and immersion in coloring agents for 7 days. The mean color difference was calculated and data were compared with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney post hoc tests (0.05). Results: ΔE values for LD with the immersion of coffee, tea, and Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) were 1.78, 2.241 and 1.58, respectively. Corresponding ΔE values for MZ were 5.60, 5.19, and 4.86; marginally higher than the clinically acceptable level of 3.5. Meanwhile, BZ showed better color stability compared to MZ with ΔE values of 4.22, 2.11 and 1.43. Conclusion: Among the ceramics evaluated, LD ceramic was found to be more color stable, while MZ ceramics displayed a higher susceptibility to discoloration. MZ and BZ ceramic colors were significantly altered with coffee immersion, while LD ceramics were more affected by green tea.

This paper presents the first systematic investigation of hand-painted magic lantern glass slides using multi-analytical techniques combined with a critical analysis of historical written sources of the painting materials and techniques used to produce them. The magic lantern was an optical instrument used from the seventeenth to the twentieth century that attained great success and impact on the entertainment industry, science, religion, and advertisement industry. The glass, colorants, and organic media of five magic lantern slides from the Museum of Natural History and Science of the University of Lisbon were studied. By means of energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, the glass was characterized and the oxide quantification unveiled that the glass substrate was possibly produced between 1870 and 1930. Ultraviolet-Visible, Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies allowed the characterization of the colorants: Prussian blue, an anthraquinone red lake pigment of animal origin (such as cochineal), an unidentified organic yellow, and carbon black. The remaining colors were achieved through mixtures of the pure pigments. Infrared analysis detected a complex fingerprint in all colors, nevertheless, a terpenoid resin such as shellac was identified. Metal carboxylates were also detected, contributing to the assessment of the state of conservation of the paints.

Full textAbstract:
Deep learning has achieved great success on robotic vision tasks. However, when compared with other vision-based tasks, it is difficult to collect a representative and sufficiently large training set for six-dimensional (6D) object pose estimation, due to the inherent difficulty of data collection. In this paper, we propose the RobotP dataset consisting of commonly used objects for benchmarking in 6D object pose estimation. To create the dataset, we apply a 3D reconstruction pipeline to produce high-quality depth images, ground truth poses, and 3D models for well-selected objects. Subsequently, based on the generated data, we produce object segmentation masks and two-dimensional (2D) bounding boxes automatically. To further enrich the data, we synthesize a large number of photo-realistic color-and-depth image pairs with ground truth 6D poses. Our dataset is freely distributed to research groups by the Shape Retrieval Challenge benchmark on 6D pose estimation. Based on our benchmark, different learning-based approaches are trained and tested by the unified dataset. The evaluation results indicate that there is considerable room for improvement in 6D object pose estimation, particularly for objects with dark colors, and photo-realistic images are helpful in increasing the performance of pose estimation algorithms.

This article presents a novel correction filter for infrared images captured by Kinect v2 sensor. Intended application areas are described and the basic concept of proposed sensory subsystem as well. Preliminary tests of the sensor Kinect v2 in real conditions gave promising results, therefore in-depth analysis of its applicability was performed. In the framework of the analysis, a relation between infrared value and a distance of captured surface was evaluated for different colors of the surface. Based on that relation and on additional information about the depth of a pixel, a correction filter was created. The filter allows improving infrared image in order to increase the success rate probability to be able to detect specific features and key points by algorithms more easily. Outputs from the filter on real conditions data sets are also presented in the article.

An art movement in sculpture and painting that began in the 1950s and emphasized extremesimplification of form and colour. A school of abstract painting and sculpture that emphasizes extreme simplification of form, as by the use of basic shapes and monochromatic palettes of primary colors, objectivity, and anonymity of style. Also called ABC art, minimal art, reductivism, rejective art. The early 1960s brought about a significant shift in American art, largely in reaction to the critical and popular success of the highly personal and expressive painterlygestures of Abstract Expressionism. Minimalist artists produced pared-down three-dimensional objects that have no resemblance to any real objects. Their new vocabulary of simplified, geometric forms made from humble industrial materialschallenged traditional notions of craftsmanship, the illusion of three dimensions, or spatial depth, and the idea that a work of art must be one of a kind.

Abstract Protests against the measures taken to contain the Covid 19 pandemic have occurred in numerous European countries since the spring of 2020. Some of these have pointed to serious political consequences (democratic deficit) or negative economic impacts; others have spread narratives about the “true background” of the pandemic or the measures taken in the political arena. In view of the symbols of the extreme right that already appeared in the early phase of the protests, such as flags in the colors black-white-red, the question was quickly discussed to what extent and with what prospects of success protagonists of the extreme right participated in these protests. This article is based on a study that investigated these questions using the example of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is supplemented and updated by selected results of other studies.

This paper presents an algorithm for reading digital video clocks reliably and quickly. Reading digital clocks from videos is difficult due to the challenges such as color variety, font diversity, noise, and low resolution. The proposed algorithm overcomes these challenges by using the novel methods derived from the domain knowledge. This algorithm first localizes the digits of a digital video clock and then recognizes the digits representing the time of digital video clock. It is a robust three-step algorithm. The first step is an efficient procedure that directly identifies the region of the second digit at a very low computational cost, which replaces the traditional tedious image processing procedure of identifying the second digit region. The success of the first step mainly leverages on the novel second-pixel periodicity method. Using the acquired second digit region as input, the second step is a clock digit localization procedure. It first acquires the colors of the digits of the digital video clock and performs the color conversion. Then it localizes the remaining clock digits. Finally, the last step is a clock digit recognition procedure. It first employs an enhanced digit-sequence recognition method to robustly recognize the digits on the second; it then adopts a deep learning procedure to recognize the remaining digits. The proposed algorithm is tested on a prepared benchmark of 1000 videos that is publicly available and the experimental results show that it can read digital video clocks with a 100% accuracy at a low computational cost.

AbstractObserved properties of spectroscopically confirmed galaxies at z≫5 and z≫6 based on selection from deep, multi-wavelength wide-field samples provide a picture of the current status of the properties of high-redshift galaxies and their evolution to yet higher redshifts.In the current presentation, we use results of deep, wide-field spectroscopy with the multi-object Deimos spectrograph on Keck in combination with deep, wide-field multi-color imaging studies using the SuprimeCam CCD camera of Subaru for a number of fields, to evaluate the luminosity function of high-redshift galaxies and its evolution at z>6. High-redshift candidates are selected using both narrow-band Lyman alpha emission and broad-band colors with a high success-rate from a number of SuprimeCam (0.5 degree FOV) fields.Luminosity functions and Lymanα emission line profiles and equivalent widths appear similar between samples at z≃5.7 and z≃6.5, and the galaxy distribution is structured both spatially and in redshift. A large amount of cosmic variance is seen in the distribution of z≫6 galaxies from field to field.The observed properties are discussed in relationship to their impact on strategies for complementary optical surveys of high-redshift galaxies, and in relationship to surveys at very different wavelengths (X-ray, far-infrared, and submillimeter) that cover the same regions.

Full textAbstract:
The montmorillonite (MMT) nanoparticles as patchouli oil bleaching has been prepared from the isolated MMT of Aceh Tamiang bentonite. MMT in bentonite powder was isolated through a top-down isolation method by ultrasonication, sedimentation and high energy milling process. As many as 14% of MMT was successfully isolated and characterized via XRF and XRD. XRF analysis on the composition of isolated MMT indicated that the major composition of MMT are Si (24.76%) and Al (16.37%). From XRD pattern, the two theta (2θ) peak of MMT are about 19.85°, 20.30° , 26.62 and 50.15° that was identified as MMT (empirical formula (Si7.80Al1.72Cs0.16Fe0.20Mg0.28O20.00)), indicating the success of the isolation process. Furthermore, based on the results calculated using XRD with Scherer’s equation, the size of MMT was 0.42 nm and the derived lattice constant was 4.20 Å. Moreover, the MMT nanoparticles exhibited as a good Patchouli Oil Bleaching material to reduce colors in oil.

Public libraries are well positioned to support young children’s growth and development, yet few studies have examined programming to determine the extent to which they actually do. The current study investigated the nature of language use in public library storytimes as an initial step in determining their potential to contribute to the vocabulary and oral language development of young children. The study employed textual analysis methods with 22 storytime transcripts to identify token and type counts, the most frequent words spoken by participating librarians and children respectively, the major grammar elements present, and the top 20 nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Results suggest that librarians dominate storytime communication with language that is highly repetitive and complex, yet centered on children and cognitively accessible for them. Further, storytimes seem to promote cognitive and behavioral skills necessary for school success such as counting and exposure to foundational concepts like colors, size, and position.

Abstract
Tomato ripeness classification has been done manually through direct visual observation. However, manual classification is highly influenced by operator subjectivity so that on certain conditions, the classification process is not consistent. The development of information technology allows the identification of the ripeness level of tomatoes based on the characteristics of color with the help of computers. In this study Tomato fruit is classified by histogram color image input obtained from the capture result. This is done by changing all the colors in the image of the RGB color model (Red, Green, Blue) into several different color models ie HSV color model (Hue, Saturation, Value), CIElab color model and YCBCR color model. The obtained color model will be used as training data using SVM (Support Vector Machine) so that the system is able to classify the ripeness of tomato fruit later. The image processing process of this research is done using matlab. After being analyzed manually using 20 data as training, 54 data as data testing got success rate classification of tomato fruit ripeness using Support Vector Machine is 100% by using CIElab color model.

Klasifikasi kematangan tomat telah dilakukan secara manual melalui pengamatan visual langsung. Namun, klasifikasi manual sangat dipengaruhi oleh subjektivitas operator sehingga pada kondisi tertentu, proses klasifikasi tidak konsisten. Perkembangan teknologi informasi memungkinkan identifikasi tingkat kematangan tomat berdasarkan karakteristik warna dengan bantuan komputer. Dalam penelitian ini buah tomat diklasifikasikan berdasarkan input gambar berwarna histogram yang diperoleh dari hasil tangkapan. Hal ini dilakukan dengan mengubah semua warna pada gambar model warna RGB (Red, Green, Blue) menjadi beberapa model warna yang berbeda yaitu model warna HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value), model warna CIElab dan model warna YCBCR. Model warna yang diperoleh akan digunakan sebagai data pelatihan menggunakan SVM (Support Vector Machine) sehingga sistem mampu mengklasifikasikan kematangan buah tomat. Proses pengolahan citra pada penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan matlab. Setelah dianalisis secara manual menggunakan 20 data sebagai data pelatihan, 54 data sebagai data pengujian mendapatkan klasifikasi tingkat keberhasilan kematangan buah tomat menggunakan Support Vector Machine adalah 100% dengan menggunakan model warna CIElab.
