Abstract:

Humans group components of visual patterns according to their colour, and perceive colours separately from shape. This property of human visual perception is the basis behind the Ishihara test for colour deficiency, where an observer is asked to detect a pattern made up of dots of similar colour with variable lightness against a background of dots made from different colour(s) and lightness. To find out if fish use colour for object segregation in a similar manner to humans, we used stimuli inspired by the Ishihara test.

We have recently shown that the Japanese yellow swallowtail butterfly Papilio xuthus uses colour vision when searching for food. In the field, these butterflies feed on nectar provided by flowers of various colours not only in direct sunlight but also in shaded places and on cloudy days, suggesting that they have colour constancy. Here, we tested this hypothesis. We trained newly emerged Papilio xuthus to feed on sucrose solution on a paper patch of a certain colour under white illumination. The butterflies were then tested under both white and coloured illumination. Under white illumination,

Abstract:

John Campbell proposed a so-called simple view of colours according to which colours are categorical properties of the surfaces of objects just as they normally appear to be. I raised an invertion problem for Campbell's view according to which the senses of colour terms fail to match their references, thus rendering those terms meaningless—or so I claimed. Gabriele de Anna defended Campbell's view against my example by contesting two points in particular. Firstly, de Anna claimed that there is no special problem here for the simple view of colours, a similar invertion story could apply to prim

ABSTRACT: Halldór Kiljan Laxness is one of the most successful and renowned authors in all of Iceland. The Nobel Laureate has written many well-known works, one of which is his early novel Salka Valka (1931-1932), a political romance that follows the life of a young girl in a remote Icelandic fishing village from age ten to age twenty-five. An interesting feature of Salka Valka is Laxness’s use of colours and colour symbolism. While Laxness employs a wide variety of basic and non-basic colour terms throughout the novel to describe various people, objects, and natural phenomena, most interestin

Abstract:

Colour and greyscale (black and white) pictures look different to us, but it is not clear whether the difference in appearance is a consequence of the way our visual system uses colour signals or a by–product of our experience. In principle, colour images are qualitatively different from greyscale images because they make it possible to use different processing strategies. Colour signals provide important cues for segmenting the image into areas that represent different objects and for linking together areas that represent the same object. If this property of colour signals is exploited in vis

ABSTRACT: This article examines a set of terms in the semantic domain of horse colours in Middle Welsh.

It is argued that, like other equestrian cultures, medieval Wales would have had a nuanced and sophisticated collection of descriptive terms for horses and that its small number of BCTs in no way indicates a limited discernment of colou

The main focus here will be on the “brilliant” hero as displayed in the Serbo-Croat heroic songs (in particular, the guslar Avdo Međedović’s Smailagić Meho) and in the figures of Cú Chulainn and others (e.g., Fer Diad) in the Táin.

Abstract: The underwater domain has distinct challenges for capturing and examining images both. This is due to absorption and dispersion of light, which diminishes visual clarity and also distorts colour. In this context, we present an extensive method for enhancing underwater images with the objective of restoring true colours, uplifting contrast, and emphasizing minute details. Adaptive colour correction, detail sharpening, and contrast enhancement techniques drafted for underwater environments are all included in our project. Using objective picture quality standards includes the Underwate

Abstract:

Urn models play an important role to express various basic ideas in probability theory. Here we extend this urn model with tubes. An urn contains coloured balls, which can be drawn with probabilities proportional to the numbers of balls of each colour. For each colour a tube is assumed. These tubes have different sizes (lengths). The idea is that after drawing a ball from the urn it is dropped in the tube of the corresponding colour. We consider two associated probability distributions. The first-full distribution on colours gives for each colour the probability that the corresponding tube is

Abstract: Clothing and appearance were an instrumental part of the women’s suffrage campaign in the United States that led to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. By using specific styles and colours and emphasizing feminine appearance, suffragists turned fashion into a political strategy to refute popular derogatory images of women activists, while also building their “brand” to gain public support for their cause. By the late twentieth century, women politicians who sought to break new ground in government reclaimed suffragists’ fashion and especially the suffrage colours, making it

We provide a framework for online conflict-free colouring of any hypergraph. We introduce the notion of a degenerate hypergraph, which characterizes hypergraphs that arise in geometry. We use our framework to obtain an efficient randomized online algorithm for conflict-free colouring of any k-degenerate hypergraph with n vertices. Our algorithm uses O(k log n) colours with high probability and this bound is asymptotically optimal. Moreover, our algorithm uses O(k log k log n) random bits with high probability. We introduce algorithms that are allowed to perform a few recolourings of already co

Abstract:

A field test is described for determination of 0.02 M CaC12 extractable ('soluble') aluminium in soils. The method uses a 5 min extraction (2 min shaking followed by 3 min settling period). An aliquot of extract is then added to the metallochromic reagent chrome azurol S, CAS (amber). Aluminium reacts rapidly with CAS in hexamine buffer (pH 4.9) to form a 1 : 1 complex, Al(CAS) (purple). Intermediate colours arise in solutions where CAS is partly converted to the aluminium complex. The developed colour may be compared visually (or spectrophotometricaliy in the laboratory) with standards. Alter

ABSTRACT Connecting the observed rest-ultraviolet (UV) luminosities of high-z galaxies to their intrinsic luminosities (and thus star formation rates, SFRs) requires correcting for the presence of dust. We bypass a common dust-correction approach that uses empirical relationships between infrared (IR) emission and UV colours, and instead augment a semi-empirical model for galaxy formation with a simple – but self-consistent – dust model and use it to jointly fit high-z rest-UV luminosity functions (LFs) and colour–magnitude relations (MUV–β). In doing so, we find that UV colours evolve with re

A neuron is used to obtain the texture value of each pixel in the bit-map plane. Each neuron interacts with its immediate planar neighbours in order to obtain the texture for the whole plane. A model which uses at most 4(C2 + C) parameters for the whole network, where C is the number of colours, is proposed. Numerical iterations of the non-linear field equations of the neural network model, starting with a randomly generated image, are s

AbstractThe four colour theorem states that the vertices of every planar graph can be coloured with at most four colours so that no two adjacent vertices receive the same colour. This theorem is famous for many reasons, including the fact that its original 1977 proof includes a non-trivial computer verification. Recently, a formal proof of the theorem was obtained with the equational logic program Coq [G. Gonthier, ‘Formal proof–the four color theorem’,Notices of Amer. Math. Soc.55 (2008) no. 11, 1382–1393].

Important aspects such as decision-making, cheerfulness, calmness and vibrancy can be achieved by the right use of colors. Vastu, which is based on principles of energies and radiations, gives precise guidelines about use of colours depending on the directional aspect and usage pattern of the room.
